Since THE MAGICIAN’S ELEPHANT repeatedly asks, “what if,” I decided to do the same in my review.
- What if this movie had a better plot?
- What if parents didn’t lie to protect their kids?
- What if the animation didn’t feel like second-tier Illumination
- What if the narrator, Natasia Demetriou, improvised her lines to match her character Nadja in WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS?
- What if the dialogue supported Kate Dicamillo’s book instead of making it feel preachy?
- And finally, what if I told you that despite these shortcomings, I still enjoyed this kid’s movie because it has a good heart?
THE MAGICIAN’S ELEPHANT is available on Netflix.
