Homeland star Mandy Patinkin to star in animation, The Magician’s Elephant

Homeland actor Mandy Patinkin features in an all-star voice cast for Netflix’s stunning animation, The Magician’s Elephant, currently in production.

Based on Kate DiCamillo’s award-winning novel of the same name, the film follows a young boy named Peter (played by The Undoing’s Noah Jupe) who is searching for his long-lost sister, played by Pixie Davies (Mary Poppins Returns) when he crosses paths with a fortune teller in the market square. 

When Peter asks if his sister is still alive, he is told the answer lies in finding a mysterious elephant and the magician who will conjure it, setting him off on a journey to complete three seemingly impossible tasks that will change his town forever.

The cast also includes Benedict Wong, Sian Clifford, Natasia Demetriou, Dawn French and Miranda Richardson.
