Michael Ledo The movie starts out telling us about Daniel's dead mother. It moves into "pet day" at the school. Daniel doesn't have a pet, but he does have a bully. The bully comes equipped with his own Godzilla music as he stomps in Daniel's direction. Daniel makes a wish on a star and in spite of his dad claiming it doesn't work, an elephant appears in his yard. It is one of those movie elephants that don't eat much or require a shovel. Daniel makes friends with Gilbert, the class geek as they both hide from the bully. The unreasonable dad decides they can't keep a baby elephant and donates it to the zoo.There is also Molly, dad's friend who is a mother figure to Daniel who is also a lawyer. She doesn't spend the night and do hanky-panky like in other kid movies. Gilbert takes Daniel to his underground secret "fort" which has cable TV. He gets the "Naked Channel" which he claims is like the Animal Channel, except with humans and it is "gross." This is perhaps the most questionable child aspect about the movie, that and hitting the bully with a large branch across the back. As it turns out the elephant is a savant and can fly. The elephant flies in front of the moon, reminiscent of ET. The movie has a happy ending as one would expect.Okay for a kid's movie, but there are better.
kim_carns I really loved and enjoyed the movie, especially the characters that were in it and of course the cute baby elephant! I am a great fan of Nick Lea and was fortunate to get a copy of the film for my personal viewing. I have been waiting forever to see this film and I wasn't disappointed one bit!!! I recommend this film to anyone who loves animals and kids in film, believe me it is worth the watch.
Leafan From the funny start to the heartwarming end, this movie breaks every stereo-type kid movie rule. The lead actors Nicholas Lea and Mia Sara are great and convincing in thier roles, and refreshingly so is the boy! There is some great wildlife in the movie and thats always nice too see, so all in all if you want a watchable heartwarming get-away movie then watch this...The Impossible Elephant (aka The Incredible Elephant in Europe). 10 out of 10!
F1ame This film went under the name of The Incredible Elephant when I watched it. Which turned out to be a little clearer in how the elephant was meant to be. The picture has an elephant in it, but not all the time. If you ask me, the elephant coverage was too much.With two quality adult stars having a 'friends who care and a bit more' relationship, I would rather have watched this story than the one about the elephant. Further to this point the relationship between the boy and his father was reduced in exposure to put in more chasing elephant and some odd bully character plot. Whilst this would bring the movie into the kids corner, from my point of view there was some high quality drama missed out on.This all results in an average movie failing to really excite the viewer. Maybe kids will like the child's perspective, and so the film will hit its mark there.
