Every animal moves and "speaks" with motions expected of their species, but there's recognizable human emotion conveyed visually and vocally, too. It's not just the photorealistic visuals, but the animators have landed on a performance style that blends both animal and human expression. What stands out about "The One and Only Ivan" is just how amazingly rendered the computer-generated animal performances are. The story itself isn't all that different than the standard Disney film fare, but it's the underlying true tale that offers stakes and emotion, as well as the vocal performances from Rockwell, Prince, DeVito and Jolie. They aren't sitting around, waiting for a letter-writing campaign, but staging their own dramatic escapes, passing off crayon messages to Julia and, ultimately expressing their heart's desire any way they can. Thus, the adaptation gives the animals agency too.

Ruby is fascinated by stories of "the wild," and Stella makes Ivan promise he'll take Ruby out of this dusty old mall basement and into the natural environment where she belongs. That pathos is piqued when Mack, strapped for cash and looking to make the mall circus the hottest ticket in town, brings in some fresh talent: an adorable baby elephant, Ruby (Brooklynn Prince).
