Premise

In 1973, a gorilla named Ivan lives in a cage at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade with an aging elephant named Stella and a dog named Bob with no recollection of how they got there. They are owned by Mack, the owner of the Big Top Mall. When an abused baby elephant named Ruby shows up and is taken under Stella's trunk, Ivan starts to care for her as well and along with the janitor's daughter Julia, they help to turn things around at the mall.[2]

On April 9, 2014, it was announced that Walt Disney Pictures may adapt the book with Allison Shearmur to produce.[3] On May 6, 2016, it was announced that Mike Newell would direct with a screenplay from Mike White.[4] On March 24, 2017, Thea Sharrock entered negotiations to direct the film after Newell left the project.[5] On October 16, 2017, it was reported that Angelina Jolie joined the film as both a producer and the voice of an elephant named Stella.[6] On November 15, 2017, Brooklynn Prince was cast to voice Ruby, the baby elephant.[7]

On January 9, 2018, Ariana Greenblatt joined the cast in a live action role.[8] Producer Allison Shearmur died on January 19, 2018. She will retain her producer credit on the film.[9] On February 23, 2018, Sam Rockwell was cast to voice the titular Ivan, and Bryan Cranston was cast as a circus owner, while Brigham Taylor joined as a producer.[10][11] On March 13, 2018, Ramon Rodriguez signed on to a live action role, that of the father of Greenblatt's character.[12] On May 1, 2018, Danny DeVito and Helen Mirren signed on to voice characters in the film, while Indira Varma and Eleanor Matsuura will appear in live action roles.[2]

Release

The film was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on August 14, 2020 by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.[14] On June 12, 2020, it was announced the film would instead be released on Disney+ a week later on August 21, 2020, due to the closures of movie theaters that started in mid March because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[15] With the release of the film's official trailer on July 8, 2020, the film was moved back to its original August 14 release date.[16]
