The One and Only Ivan Movie Trailer, Release Date, Plot, Cast and more Last updated on February 28 2020 by Cooper Smith

The One and Only Ivan is a book written by K. A. Applegate about a silverback gorilla living in a mall, told from his perspective. That was the original. Now, just like with everything these days it seems, it is getting a live action adaptation. Disney is making The One and Only Ivan into a movie, with the animals being CGI and the people being real. There's some questions to be answered about the upcoming film, like, when will it release? When will the trailer come out? What is the plot? Who's the cast? Read on to find out.

The One and Only Ivan Release Date

When does the movie come out? The book was published in 2012, and now, eight years later, the movie is almost here. Currently The One and Only Ivan is scheduled to hit theatres August 14 of this year. That means that only half a month after Disney's live action Jungle Cruise movie comes out, we'll be getting The One and Only Ivan on the big screen. Disney has gotten to the point where barely weeks pass between their film releases (because they own so much).

The One and Only Ivan Plot

Since this is a book to movie adaptation, just like with the soon-to-be-released Artemis Fowl, The One and Only Ivan is expected to stay pretty close to the original plot. Disney probably doesn't want to veer off too far from the source material, or else fans might get a little mad. The movie will follow the gorilla, Ivan, who has been trapped in a cage in a mall for almost 10,000 days by his count. He lives with an aging elephant named Stella and a stray dog named Bob. When a new baby elephant arrives at Big Top Mall, Ivan will be trying to protect her.

The One and Only Ivan Official Trailer

The date that we can finally watch a movie trailer for The One and Only Ivan is approaching. With the movie releasing in about five months, we can expect a movie trailer (or more likely, to expect a teaser trailer) within the next month. Disney will probably want to put a trailer out with one of their upcoming movies. So you can for sure see it in theatres either with Onward on March 5 or Mulan on March 26. Anticipation for a trailer is growing, and without a doubt it will be arriving before April. Here at TheMovieScoop, we can't wait.

While very little is known about the movie, from what we can tell, The One and Only Ivan looks like a promising motion picture. If it's anything like the heartwarming book, audiences will certainly love it. Make sure to get ready for the incoming teaser trailer, and make sure to go see Ivan and his friends this August 14, 2020.
