Disney has shared the first official trailer for upcoming family fantasy adventure film The One and Only Ivan. The live-action film stars Bryan Cranston in person but also features quite a few well-known names as the voices of animals.

The One and Only Ivan is based on the Newberry Modal-winning book by K.A. Applegate, Ivan. It's about a silverback gorilla that lives in captivity and yearns to return to the jungle where they can truly be free.
Both an official trailer, poster, and release date have been revealed. The One and Only Ivan will be exclusively available to stream on Disney+ from August 14th, 2020. You can check out the former two below (via Walt Disney Studios):
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. The heartwarming adventure, which comes to the screen in an impressive hybrid of live-action and CGI, is based on Katherine Applegate’s bestselling book, which won numerous awards upon its publication in 2013, including the Newbery Medal.
The One and Only Ivan will be exclusively available to stream on Disney+ from August 14th, 2020.
