Yes, the images are beautiful but Yes, these beautiful images are symbolic of humans trying to control nature for their own purpose.
Exotic animals are beautiful when they are wild and in their natural habitats and without humans swirling around. When you train elephants in a circus to obey you, it becomes disgraceful and disgusting. How many takes were necessary to obtain the "picture perfect" images of a dancer and a bird flying above? How many takes does it take to have 5 elephants moving together at the same time? A lot!
Most animals in that "movie"/artistic performance have been domesticated even if their nature is to be wild and sometimes ferocious. We're not talking about cats and dogs here but about animals usually living in the wild.
Controlling animals for the pleasure of humans had always disgusted me.
