O Grande Ivan

A film with a large target. From animal lovers, to kids and fans of the actors. A film, a touching one, who did not look for impress< its simplicity and the fine hybrid action are the basic virtues defining it. Each proposing more questions, as support of fair reflection about rights of animals , about friendship, about business . The balance is a good point too. But, maybe, the best thing is the familiarity of story. You know it . You know Ivan, grace to documentaries, articles or news. But the film is not remember, only a simple story telling about small things who are, together, always, in each period, real, real significant.

This is a very sweet story about an ape in captivity who lived for years in a shopping mall performing circus acts and he learns to paint and dreams of freedom where he can roam in the wild. The animals are friends and talk to one another and worry as business goes downhill with declining attendance. They embark on a courageous escape only to realize the wild isn't quite what they imagined. The CGI is well done as it looks realistic and the voice acting is fantastic as well. Overall the story is endearing especially as it's a true story.

Just watched this with my 8 yo girls and they (and I) loved it. Based on a true story of a gorilla that can paint, leaves you with a smile.

This movie has a simple and plain story nothing extraordinary it is inspired from a true movie. The animations are good but feels short to make u feel the emotions involved. Overall weak storyline. Kids will like it but the movie is very basic for adults

Disney did a good job. I really enjoyed watching it
