Bobbo K @RT84120498 Jun 10 Decent film. Apparently not accurate to the book, but because I haven't read it, I'm going to write it as though the book didn't exist (so that those that also come from this perspective can know what to expect). The story is immensely nonsensical, but it is for that reason that it is good. It is just so unpredictable (aside from the parts that are meant to get you feeling warm and fuzzy) that it is amusing. It just keeps going with strange activities and interesting characters. The animation is interesting it completely messed with my brain, but I think in the end I liked it. The story ends in a happy way, and I think it was nice. Could certainly be good to watch for a child, other people may not be as invested in the film.

The movie changes EVERYTHING not lying. Bartok whynn,one of the main characters, isnt even in the movie!? There's a king despite the book calling Baltese a city? And the king has that stuipid Disney QuIrKy and SiLlY attitude I want to hit him. The movie doesn't know anything about the 1800s as you can tell. Outfits are like 2010s and the countess is an young, shy, adn hates attention which is the complete opposite of the book. I hate Gloria's hair, leo Mattie is a royal guard and not a officer, Vilna Lutz has BOTH LEGS, It doesn't snow untill the end, and the elephant remembers peter!? Did the writers read the book? This movie is an insult to the hard efforts put into the book. DO NOT WATCH! TERRIBLE! CHANGES EVERYTHING. THE ONLY THING IT HAS THATS SIMILAR TO THE BOOK IS THE NAMES AND A ELEPHANT See more KamRan Z @RT55767525 04/19/2025 “The Magician’s Elephant” touched something deep in me. A simple yet powerful tale of hope, belief, and the magic of connections. The visuals were poetic, and the soundtrack lingered like a memory. I’ve watched it over and over—and each time, it feels like coming home. See more Julia T @RT91581404 02/18/2025 This movie was so refreshing. It wasn’t the same shiny CGI movie that is always made. My whole family from my 5 year old to my 15 year old and my husband any myself saw it together and loved it. It was funny and silly and full of heart and was also serious at times with a great theme. We recommend it! See more Grace D @RT54461802 02/15/2025 I suspect this was based on a well-enough written book, but the chronology was terrible, the narration was worse than superfluous, and it reeked of PC message-making. (I can only take so much overt lecturing by a whimsical know-it-all canned narrator.) Neither the characters nor their relationships with each other were in the least believable, and it couldn't have further belabored the theme of "overcoming the impossible," to such an extent that it reduced it to trope status. The only thing saving it from being absolutely abysmal was the beauty of the animation, which nonetheless seemed to waver between realism and Looney Tunes. See more Read all reviews
