The Magician's Elephant

Release Date: March 17

Magician's Elephant is a highly anticipated premiere as both the story and the visual aesthetic are outstanding. The protagonist of this new animated film, a boy named Peter, has learned from a fortune teller that he must meet a mysterious elephant and a wizard and have other adventures to find his missing sister. This film is based on the book "The Tale of Despereaux, Flora and Ulysses", and was produced by a team led by animator Wendy Rogers, who previously created Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Flushed Away.

We Lost Our Human

Release Date: March 21

What is it like to be petted and, in one day, lose not only the owner but, in general, all the people on Earth? It is this dystopian story that happens with a cat called Pud and a dog named Ham. Having never left their home, the couple searches for living creatures in a big and dangerous world. The fate of the world now depends on them and the audience. Directed by director Curtis Lelash, this animated adventure We Lost Our Human is the latest in Netflix's interactive animation series.

Leo

Release Date: November 22

It's great when films for children turn out to be interesting and exciting for adults and, in a sense, philosophical. The musical animated film Leo in which we will hear the voice of Adam Sandler (the main character, Leo), is just one of them. In a school, Leo, a 74-year-old lizard, and his friend, a turtle (Bill Burr), live in the same enclosure. When he learns that he has only one year left to live, events occur that neither he nor the students of the school would have ever imagined before.
