A beautifully animated film with a fanciful but still important message.

This is what Disney Wish should have been. I mean, this is truely about believing in dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem. Imposible things being true. Family love and true friendship. I just loved it. The message is amazing. And the lack of a villain. Oh, this might be the best animated movie I have seen in years.

Unfortunately, this movie has been forgotten for a reason. It's not impressively bad, but it's not good, either. This is a very “meh” type of film; I will give credit that sometimes the animation can be impressive in a few scenes and the overall heart is in the right place. Still, this movie suffers from bland storytelling, one-dimensional characters acting like they are more than they already are, and a confusing tone that can never decide what direction the story wants to take. Animal Logic is set to create other animated movies in the future. The studio’s first outing with Netflix didn’t go so well for me and for many audiences across the globe. This is far from an awful film, and I still would encourage Animal Logic to keep moving forward to create bigger and better films like they did in the past. Sadly, The Magician’s Elephant isn’t one of their greatest.
