'The Magician's Elephant'
Kate DiCamillo, one of Minneapolis' most celebrated authors, should be tickled pink by this animated film version of her 2009 children's classic, a rip-roaring adventure about a teenager who must perform three impossible tasks to find his sister. The story nods to "E.T." and "The Wizard of Oz," but it's a wholly original tale, one that Hans Christian Andersen would be proud to call his own. First-time director Wendy Rogers steers the comedy and cast, which includes Mandy Patinkin and Oscar-nominated Brian Tyree Henry, like an old pro. Netflix
