Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Angie A As an adult, I’m accustomed to dubbed films so the unsynced words didn’t bother me. In fact, this is a first movie to expose your children to another culture. Now to our show: “School of Magical Animals” reminds me of Harry Potter meets Dr. Doolittle, (if Harry Potter was limited to one class in a “muggle” school). The magical community consists of the children in the class, the sister who teaches and the brother who runs the zoo and distributes magical animals who talk and have the ability to turn into stuffed toy versions if seen by anyone who isn’t in the magical community. Several memorable children share the POV, headed by a red-haired character named Ida. I’ve seen both movies and loved them. There was a little bit of “children are smarter than the adults in authority” as seen in some children/YA movies, but this storyline emphasized loyalty, friendship, and community with a little sprinkle of magic. I enjoyed both movies and am looking forward to the next. And yes, I’d love for an English-speaking production company to make a version, or I could just take a lesson from the movie and overlook the dubbing. This film would be enjoyed by those aged 10 and up. (It may be a little long for younger children.) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
