THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN
August 21, 2020  | By David Bianculli

Disney+, 3:00 a.m. ET

 
MOVIE PREMIERE: This new Disney movie, premiering today on Disney+, is like a companion movie to the studio’s live-action remake of Dumbo. It’s a family movie in which some actors, led by Bryan Cranston as a circus ringmaster, play human characters, while others, including Sam Rockwell, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren and Danny DeVito, provide the voices of animals whose mouth movements and most actions come courtesy of CGI. Jolie gives voice to the elephant Stella, and Rockwell provides the voice of Ivan, a silverback gorilla who becomes the star of the carnival barker’s road show – especially once it’s discovered that this particular silverback is so smart, he can draw. And, in this new movie, surely will be one.
