One of the joys about streaming services is you can watch movies that you definitely would not go see when they came out in movie theaters. This 2010 title definitely fits the bill.

"The Greatest Showman" (August 14)

Based on the children's novel, this new Disney movie going straight to Disney Plus follows a caged gorilla named Ivan (voiced by Sam Rockwell) who cares for an abused baby elephant along with the other animals who live with him at a small circus.
Other stars who lend their voices include Danny DeVito, Helen Mirren, and Angelina Jolie. Bryan Cranston stars as the owner of the circus.
