The new Netflix film that rivals Disney (and will delight the little ones in the house)

I think it’s no secret to say that disney is in the doldrums in the field of animation after some resounding failures. For example, strange world grossed less than $75 million worldwide, and an IP like toy story narrowly surpassed $200 million with Light year (yes, it’s from Pixar, but Pixar is owned by Disney). For this reason, netflix gets interesting alternative to animated cinemabe The magician’s elephant the last proposal of the children to reach the platform of streaming.

Rock looking for his sister Adel long gone. When he meets a futurist in the market place, he has only one question in mind. Is your sister still alive? The answer is unexpected: he must find a mysterious elephant and the magician capable of conjuring it. In this way, Rock he embarks on an adventure in which he will have to complete three tasks that will change him and his town forever.

Why watch The Wizard’s Elephant on Netflix? Will kids and adults like it?

First of all, I would like to talk about its spectacular technical section. netflix invests a lot of money in the production of its animated films and The magician’s elephant It’s just the last example. In this case, it is true that it does not look as good as sea ​​monster oh The Mitchells vs. the Machinesbut within its moderate budget, the animation is very good and there are some sequences to remember.

Beyond the technique, the screenplay is one of the strengths of The magician’s elephantbenefiting from the book written by Kate Di Camillo on which it is based. He knows how to move young and old, convert The magician’s elephant in a movie perfect for the whole family. And of course, if you are concerned about the education of your children, with this feature film they will learn to work as a team, to be themselves and to pursue their dreamsthree very valuable lessons that are not easily taught.

Finally, maybe I would have liked to see a bit darker touch because what I read from the original story has more darkness. However, it manages to balance the scales and ends up being an almost perfect film, to which It would have only needed more ability to differentiate itself from other Disney classics.
