In 'The One and Only Ivan', we delve into the poignant journey of Ivan, a silverback gorilla whose life unfolds behind the glass of a shopping mall enclosure, where he fills his days with television, companionship, and art. His existence is transformed with the arrival of Ruby, a young elephant snatched from the wild, prompting Ivan to reevaluate his surroundings and his artistry. As Ivan becomes determined to give Ruby a better life, their story becomes an anthem for hope, a testament to the power of friendship, and a stirring call to see the world through another's eyes.
