Featured review
Things are only impossible until they're not.
Peter is an orphan living in a magical town, and is being raised by Vilna, a soldier who rescued him during the war. Vilna has always been telling Peter his sister died at birth, but Peter is convinced she is alive and determined to find her.
To be sure, Peter decides to ask a fortune teller, who allows him one question for one coin. When he asks her how he could find his sister, she replies "Follow the elephant." Although this proves to Peter she is in fact alive still, there are no elephants in his town.
Well, not until a magician makes an elephant appear during one of his magic shows. Fearing the elephant might endanger her people, the Countess wants to get rid of the elephant. However, when Peter insists he needs the elephant to find his sister, the King agrees to give him the elephant providing he can complete three impossible tasks.
And so Peter's adventure begins. He first has to find a way to accomplish the tasks, and then find his sister. 'The Magician's Elephant' is not as funny as most animated films are. It has a far more serious undertone with a heartfelt story and a positive underlying message.
I really enjoyed the characters and rooted for Peter every step of the way. I also enjoyed the fact there were no annoying comic relief characters. The animation is absolutely stunning and this film looks incredible on screen. I loved it.
