“The Magicianu0026#39;s Elephant is an exceptional film that also provides a very important, valuable life lesson and it is a perfect movie to watch with family or close friends.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story follows an orphan boy named Peter (Noah Jupe) who loses his sister at a very young age. Peter has always wanted to meet again with his sister but she has been lost since a newborn. Both of his parents passed away in a war and, ever since then, a strict and old soldier has taken care of Peter. On one special day Peter goes to the market to buy a small fish and stale bread, as that is what Peter and the soldier have for dinner every night, but instead of Peter buying dinner Peter spends his money on a fortune teller to answer his lifelong question. He asks, u0026quot;Where can I find my sister?u0026quot; and the fortune telleru0026#39;s response is u0026quot;Follow the Elephant…u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI absolutely recommend watching this astounding film! The Magicianu0026#39;s Elephant is so well-done that it made me and my whole family get very emotional. The animation of this film is wondrous; the visual effects are glorious, beautiful and realistic. The special effects are extraordinary — I love how all the colors and scenes match the storyline so incredibly well. My favorite scene is when the magician (Benedict Wong) brings the elephant back to the animalu0026#39;s habitat and we realize that Peter is also helping another family get back together. This shows that Peter is not selfish at all. Peter is a kind-hearted soul who deserves to be reunited with his sister. He wants to find his sister so badly and so he obeys whatever the fortune teller tells him to do like, follow the Elephant, which he does. To get to the elephant Peter has to complete three impossible tasks given to him by the King. If Peter completes the three tasks he will earn the right to have the elephant and that will lead him to his dream. You will have to watch to see if Peteru0026#39;s dream comes true!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe filmu0026#39;s message is to always care and love your family because, if you donu0026#39;t have them, then who do you have to love? Another message is to always have hope for whatever you do or believe.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI give The Magicianu0026#39;s Elephant 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. It is available in theaters now and releases on Netflix March 17, 2023. By Keila V., KIDS FIRST!”
