DISNEY+ DEBUTS HEARTWARMING NEW TRAILER FOR DISNEY’S “THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN”

Exclusively Streaming on Disney+, August 14^th

Disney+ shared the new trailer from the upcoming film Disney’s “The One and Only Ivan.” Based on the award-winning book by Katherine Applegate, “The One and Only Ivan” tells the story of Ivan, a silverback gorilla who learns that life isn’t defined by place and circumstance but by the power of friendship and the courage to make change happen. Streaming only on Disney+, August 14^th. 

An adaptation of the award-winning book about one very special gorilla, Disney’s “The One and Only Ivan” is an unforgettable tale about the beauty of friendship, the power of visualization and the significance of the place one calls home. Ivan is a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall with Stella the elephant, Bob the dog, and various other animals. He has few memories of the jungle where he was captured, but when a baby elephant named Ruby arrives, it touches something deep within him. Ruby is recently separated from her family in the wild, which causes him to question his life, where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be. The heartwarming adventure, which comes to the screen in an impressive hybrid of live-action and CGI, is based on Katherine Applegate’s bestselling book, which won numerous awards upon its publication in 2013, including the Newbery Medal. 

The film stars: Sam Rockwell as the voice of Ivan; Angelina Jolie as the voice of Stella; Danny DeVito as the voice of Bob the dog; Helen Mirren as the voice of Snickers the poodle; Brooklynn Prince as the voice of Ruby; Ramon Rodriquez as the mall employee George; Ariana Greenblatt as George’s daughter Julia; Chaka Khan as the voice of Henrietta the chicken; Mike White as the voice of Frankie the seal; Ron Funches as the voice of Murphy the rabbit; Phillipa Soo as the voice of Thelma the parrot; and Bryan Cranston as Mack, the mall’s owner. “The One and Only Ivan” is directed by Thea Sharrock from a screenplay by Mike White based on Applegate’s book and is produced by the late Allison Shearmur, Angelina Jolie and Brigham Taylor. Sue Baden-Powell and Thea Sharrock serve as executive producers. 

Movie Review: Disney's Live Action Dumbo Takes Flight

Tim Burton's Dumbo expands upon the classic story by adding more depth with the addition of human characters as the focus while still retaining the spirit of the original. In this version of the story, differences are still celebrated and dreams still soar. 

The cast is impressive. Colin Farrell plays Holt Farrier, a circus star returning from the war, missing an arm and finding out that his wife has passed away during his absence. He is also struggling to connect with his two children. Max Medici, played by Danny DeVito, is the circus owner who places Holt in charge of his new elephant that is about to give birth. Mrs. Jumbo of course gives birth to Dumbo, who is instantly made an outcast because of his over sized ears. Holt's children become the exception and spend a lot of time with Dumbo and learn that he can fly. This becomes the hit of the circus and draws the attention of V.A. Vandevere played by Michael Keaton. Vandevere wants Dumbo for his Disneyland-like Dreamland. What will happen? Head to theaters on Friday to discover what happens.

The message of finding your own way and being true to yourself is powerful here, as is Burton's visual style. The grandeur of Dreamland, the colors of the locations and the clothing explode on the screen, the pure joy when Dumbo soars into the sky, none of which require any words is perhaps the greatest tribute to the original movie.

Dumbo soars into theaters on Friday.
