Silverback guerilla Ivan (Sam Rockwell) grew up with his human trainer Mack (Bryan Cranston) who has built an animal circus show in a shopping mall. Stella (Angelina Jolie) is an old female elephant. Ivan has a pet dog (Danny DeVito) which sneaks into his cage all the time. The show is struggling with small crowds until Mack brings in a baby elephant from a defunct circus.
This is an anthropomorphic animal feel-good movie inspired by a true story. I really like the story and the characters. There is one issue. This is nowhere near the true story. It leaves me wondering if a closer rendition of the true story would be more fitting. Either that or leave the true story to google. Overall, it's a sweet story. I like that Mack is an understandably conflicted man who always loves his animals despite some missteps. When the closing credits happen, I kept wondering when that movie is coming out.
