The Magician’s Elephant: Exclusive interview with Director Wendy Rogers and Producer Julia Pistor

Some films leave a lasting impression…

My family recently screened, “The Magician’s Elephant.” This is a beautiful film that you don’t want to miss! It is a story about hope, family, and resilience.

Check out our exclusive interview with the Director Wendy Rogers and Producer Julia Pistor.

Watch “The Magician’s Elephant” with your entire family today!

SYNOPSIS:

When young Peter, who is searching for his long-lost sister, crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square, there is only one question on his mind: is his sister still alive? The answer — that he must follow a mysterious elephant — sets Peter off on a remarkable journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that magically change the face of his town forever. THE MAGICIAN’S ELEPHANT is based on Newbery Award-winning author Kate DiCamillo’s classic novel.

Quote from the Director Wendy Rogers:

“It is my honor to introduce you to The Magician’s Elephant, a joyful animated reimagining of Kate DiCamillo’s prize-winning novel. Our film follows optimistic young Peter on a quest to find his sister – an adventure that involves achieving three impossible tasks and an unexpected elephant encounter. Combining Martin Hynes’ comedic and thoughtful script with the well-respected experience of producer Julia Pistor, The Magician’s Elephant was a wonderful privilege to create as my directorial debut. I am forever grateful for our brilliant crew at Netflix and Animal Logic that collectively designed and crafted a beautiful, surreal yet tangible world in which our compellingly layered and diverse cast of characters flourishes. I could not have asked for a more emotionally fulfilling story to tell in partnership with such talented filmmakers and voice actors.

I hope you will enjoy the cinematic journey into our fabled world, and be inspired by Peter’s grit, determination and belief that anything is possible: his spirit has strong resonance for our present day, a time in which we must not only believe that the world can be different, but that we must take action to make positive change! “- Wendy Rogers

About

How do you live with the knowledge that your mother is a murderer? That’s what Ginny is going to have to figure out. Burdened with the new understanding that Kenny – her step-dad – didn’t die of natural causes, now Ginny must deal with the fact that Georgia not only killed, she killed to protect Ginny.

Georgia on the other hand would much prefer that the past be left in the past, after all, she’s got a wedding to plan! But the funny thing about Georgia’s past is that it never stays buried for long..

Where are all my Loony Tunes fans?

As a kid growing up in the 80’s, I remember getting up early in the mornings to turn on the tube. I would sit in the kitchen with a bowl of Apple Jax, and watch my favorite cartoons. Some of favorite cartoon shorts featured characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Tweety, Road Runner, Wile E. Coyote, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, Taz, Marvin the Martian, Beaky Buzzard and my all time favorite Speedy Gonzales!

So when Warner Bros called invited us to screen Space Jam: A New Legacy, and celebrate the film with an incredible interactive experience, we were beside ourselves! I realized that this film would bring back some of my childhood memories and give my family an opportunity to enjoy an afternoon of shooting hoops.

Disclosure: Thank you Warner Bros Pictures for inviting us to screen Space Jam: A New Legacy. All opinions are my own.

After screening this film, we hit a special pop-up Space Jam experience and explored the ServerVerse, played games, took photos, met Bugs Bunny and Lola Bunny!

NBA Lakers super star LeBron James takes on a role of a loving father who like many of us, wants his children to follow in his footsteps. His son Cedric (Dom James) however, wants a different path. The new film has a great message for both parents and kids!

My takeaway was, that we as parents should support our children’s dreams, and help them be the best version of themselves. I love this!

This family fun film offers entertaining moments that adults can enjoy with their children.

We have a great fascination with Loki. Tom Hiddleston, ( I have a mad crush on him) masterfully portrays his character in this new series. Not only naturally, but intellectually. His character development is brilliant ! We can’t wait to see what’s in store in the rest of the upcoming episodes of Loki.

The holidays have been difficult this year, with quarantine among us. Our family has done little things to try and get into the Christmas spirit, which includes excessive cookie making, an extremely large hot cocoa consumption, and movie binging. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a delightful way to get into the Christmas Spirit. This holiday season, my son and I had the amazing opportunity to interview this talented cast, while also prescreening the film.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey hits select theaters and streaming on Netflix November 13th!

About Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

A musical adventure and a visual spectacle for the ages, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a wholly fresh and spirited family holiday event. Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder. But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it’s up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills) — and a long-forgotten invention — to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within.

After watching this movie on repeat, sometimes I catch my son humming the tunes from the movie while completing his daily routine, and sometimes…I sing along. This charming film follows a classic theme, while beautifully achieving a long overdue diverse cast. Here’s what this phenomenal cast and director had to ay about the film.

The Bravest Knight is Now Streaming on Hulu

Written By: Clarissa Elyse Camacho

Growing up, I rarely saw little girls in cartoons that resembled me. I had broomstick hair, brown colored skin, and jet black eyes. I also don’t remember seeing other people of color, LGBQ+ families, or people with disabilities. Sadly, that’s just how it’s always been.

Last week, we spoke to voiceover talent TR Knight (Sir Cedric) and Storm Reid (Nia) from the new Hulu original children show, The Bravest Knight.

The new series “The Bravest Knight” is breaking boundaries, featuring a household with two dads (Sir Cedric and Prince Andrew), making it one of the first children’s television series with an openly gay main character. Following the inspiring and perseverant former pumpkin farmer, Sir Cedric, now grown and married to the prince of his dreams, “The Bravest Knight”recounts personal tales of his journey. Sir Cedric shares his story with his adopted 10-year-old daughter Nia, on how he transformed from day-time farmer to full-fledged knight. Nia, who is training to become a brave knight herself, learns important values such as honor, justice and compassion; proving that knighthood is much more than slaying dragons.

The Bravest Knight — “Cedric & the Cave” — Nia is taught how to track in the woods as she hears the tale of Cedric and Grunt hiding from a Yeti in a mountainside cave. By being resourceful, they are able to
escape the beast and find the secret to its anger. (Photo courtesy of Hulu)

The show boasts a star-studded cast including T.R. Knight as “Sir Cedric,” Bobby Moynihan as young Cedric’s troll sidekick “Grunt,” Storm Reid as Not-Yet-Knight “Nia,” and will also feature the voice talents of RuPaul, Christine Baranski, Wanda Sykes, Wilson Cruz, Teri Polo, Steven Weber, Donna Murphy, AJ McLean, Dot-Marie Jones, Maz Jobrani, Chance Hurstfield and more. The Bravest Knight’s opening theme song was written and performed by Grammy-nominated musician, songwriter and activist Justin Tranter.

Unfortunately, our marginalized communities have learned to grow without representation. However, things have changed with the new Hulu original The Bravest Knight! In this new show, not only do we follow a young African American lead, but she has same sex parents. Throughout the series, Storm Reid said we will see conclusions centralized around love, acceptance, and empowerment. I absolutely LOVE this!

This is a wonderful stepping stone for LBGTQ+ visibility, and the normalization of two partner parents. The 4.5% of Americans that identify as queer, deserve to see themselves as leaders, parents, teachers, politicians, doctors, or literally anything they want on television. This new show will subtly normalize what has been prohibited for so long, while also representing a strong African American, female lead. Bravo Hulu!

The Bravest Knight — “Cedric & the Green Leaf” — Nias jousting lesson turns into the story of Sir Cedrics first tournament as a Not-Yet-Knight, and the folly of underestimating your opponent. (Photo courtesy of Hulu)

This new heartwarming show is great for kids and has wonderful life lessons. Stream it with your kids on Hulu today!
