\n Disney just can\u2019t quit the realistic CGI animals.<\/p>\n

Since 2016\u2019s \u201cThe Jungle Book,\u201d it\u2019s the less magical, the better when it comes to speaking and singing critters at the House of Mouse. Lovable cartoons have been swapp<\/a>ed for claws, fangs and beady eyes on nearly expressionless faces, and, without fail, the trick is always more creepy than cute.<\/p>\n

The studio goes down the Discovery Channel road again, albeit more successfully, with \u201cThe One and Only Ivan\u201d on Disney . The sweet film is not only based on the children\u2019s book by Katherine Applegate, but also the moving true story of a gorilla who became a sensation at a super-mall circus when it was discovered he could paint.<\/p>\n

Because an actual ape had this experience, the real look makes sense in a way it didn\u2019t at all for, say, the more fanciful \u201cLion King.\u201d A wild lion never really lived through the plot of \u201cHamlet\u201d and then was raised by a singing warthog and meerkat \u2014 as far as I know.<\/p>\n

At the start of the movie, Ivan (voiced by Sam Rockwell) is bored and resigned to his circus life, performing to a mostly empty theater and having forgotten the outside world. Right before Stella the elephant (Angelina Jolie, you\u2019ll have no idea) goes to the great watering hole in the sky, she asks Ivan to take care of Ruby, a baby pachyderm who\u2019s recently moved in. Although he becomes the new ape-artist star attraction, Ivan decides the time has finally come for the pack to escape into the wild.<\/p>\n

While the high-profile Disney titles such as \u201cHamilton\u201d and Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cBlack Is King\u201d were made for adults, the streaming service has also been churning out smaller films for little kids. The adorable live-action \u201cLady and the Tramp\u201d was one of the first.<\/p>\n

But \u201cThe One and Only Ivan\u201d goes overboard in patting its young audience on the head by remaining much too calm and soothing, like an on-screen lullaby. Breaking free of the circus cages should be a fun, quick adventure that shakes up the story. But the movie\u2019s pulse never quickens. Every moment here, save for the emotional ending, feels exactly the same as the last.<\/p>\n

Voice casting has become starrier in recent years \u2014 a sorry blow to journeyman voice actors \u2014 but I can\u2019t think of another kids movie with three Oscar winners: Rockwell, Jolie and Helen Mirren (who plays a poodle). Bryan Cranston, an Oscar nominee, portrays the human ringmaster. However, even the well-regarded Cranston is reined in from creating a compellingly villainous character, even though he is motivated solely by greed. Can\u2019t scare the kiddos! Driving that point home, the brusque Danny DeVito voices a small, cuddly dog.<\/p>\n

The director of all this airiness comes as a surprise \u2014 Thea Sharrock, the British theater artist known for her Broadway production of the play \u201cEquus,\u201d in which a naked Daniel Radcliffe stabbed the eyes out of a stable full of horses. \u201cIvan\u201d is about as far from that as you can get.<\/p>\n

So, rest assured, parents, no horses were harmed by a nude Harry Potter during the making of this film.<\/p>\n
