The Magician's Elephant is a heartwarming tale about a young boy who receives a
message from a fortune teller that an elephant will help him find his lost
sister. Set in a medieval town after a great war, the locals are still
recovering from the devastation, and an accident caused by a sloppy magician
results in his imprisonment.
Meanwhile, the orphaned Peter is being trained by his former soldier guardian
Vilna, who assures him that his sister tragically died. However, Peter believes
she is still alive and sets out on a quest to find her, with the help of the
elephant.
While the film tackles serious and thought-provoking ideas, it quickly shifts
to more familiar territory, resulting in a somewhat
bland and unimaginative story. Nonetheless, the emotional
satisfaction of the ending makes the investment in the brother-sister reunion
worthwhile. |
