Danny DeVito, Sam Rockwell, Chaka Khan, Phillipa Soo, and Brooklynn Prince in The One and Only Ivan (2020)
An adaptation of the award-winning book about one very special gorilla, Disney's 'The One and Only Ivan' is an unforgettable tale about the beauty of friendship, the power of visualization and the significance of the place one calls home. Ivan is a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall with Stella the elephant, Bob the dog, and various other animals. He has few memories of the jungle where he was captured, but when a baby elephant named Ruby arrives, it touches something deep within him. Ruby is recently separated from her family in the wild, which causes him to question his life, where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be.

    Touching
    A touching film and I found it cute. However, it left me with sadness to know that in real life Ivan was kept from seeing the outside world for 27 years.
