## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Here's a film that's aware it isn't aiming for the arthouse. A motivational speaker inherits an elephant from his recently deceased circus-clown father. He then has to transport the animal cross-country, dealing with various hijinks along the way. The film is mostly interested in seeing just how far it can push its central conceit.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
