The Magician’s Elephant Synopsis:

When young Peter, who is searching for his long-lost sister, crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, there is only one question on his mind: is his sister still alive? The answer — that he must follow a mysterious elephant — sets Peter off on a remarkable journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that magically change the face of his town forever.

Our Review:

The effects of war have dampened the spirits of an entire town. Most of the citizens live in a world consumed by their own cynicism. They have lost their faith in the world and they fear the “what  if’s” “The Magician’s Elephant” reminds us that things are only impossible until they’re possible. It’s a story of hope and what happens when you dare to believe. Fan’s of DiCamillo’s will be delighted seeing these wonderful characters come to life on the screen.
