A visual treat with inventive critters...
“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is the title of a book mentioned in the novel “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and later inspired a novel by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling that Warner Brothers adapted into the newly released movie. What may appear an entirely commercial decision to milk a cash cow still further is actually a film with great charm and a wonderful menagerie of imaginative creatures.<br /><br />Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) is a magizoologist who arrives in New York in 1926 carrying a suitcase filled with dozens of magical creatures. One of them, a Niffler — a platypus-type animal who hoards shiny things — escapes and makes its way into a bank where Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), a factory worker and “No-Maj” (as in no magic), is applying for a loan to open his own bakery. Jacob’s similar-looking suitcase containing pastries is mistakenly switched with Newt’s, taking the would-be baker into a series of wild and often hilarious adventures.<br /><br />The big change from the Potter books is that all the characters in “Fantastic Beasts…” are adults. Yet Rowling, who wrote the screenplay, manages to infuse the film with a whimsical sense of fun as assorted creatures run amok in the city.<br /><br />The movie looks terrific, with considerable time, effort, and dollars dedicated to bringing the book to life. There’s lots of computer-generated visuals, but they are so effectively rendered that the viewer is immersed in an amazing world that combines the recognizable with the fanciful.<br /><br />The creatures are great fun, with the Niffler easily the funniest and best. The look of the film expands into the New York setting, with streets, vintage cars, buildings, and landmarks suggesting the way the city must have looked in the Roaring Twenties. This differs from the approach in the Potter books, which were set primarily in a world of magic. With an actual setting, the trials of Newt take on a more grounded feel.<br /><br />Mr. Redmayne (“The Danish Girl,” “The Theory of Everything”) has an “Aw shucks” demeanor — a combination of bashfulness and enthusiasm — that works well in his portrayal of Newt, who finds himself in a sticky situation. His odd creatures are on the loose, he’s responsible for them, and yet he has to keep them a secret from regular humans. With tousled hair, a surprised expression, and a winning smile, Newt is a socially awkward young man, preferring the company of animals to his fellow wizards. Despite all the visual dazzle, Redmayne manages to keep the story focused on Newt’s adventures and misadventures in —for him — a strange world.<br /><br />Mr. Fogler has considerable screen time as hapless Jacob, whose expressions provide lots of the film’s chuckles. His Everyman is likable because, even though he is part of the real world, he finds himself inadvertently in a mystical swirl. As a kind of cuddly fish-out-of water, Jacob is befuddled, perplexed, and often disoriented, yet surprisingly accepting of the amazing creatures and adventures to which he’s subjected.<br /><br />Other characters include a magic witch named Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterson), who turns Newt in to magic officials because she thinks he’s acting suspiciously, and her telepathic sister Queenie (Alison Sudol), who has eyes for Jacob. Colin Farrell plays Graves, autocratic head of magic enforcement, Ron Perlman is a creepy-looking speakeasy proprietor, and Jon Voight plays a newspaper mogul eager to get his son elected to Congress.<br /><br />David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter films, easily takes the viewer back into a magic-filled world. The movie could stand a bit of trimming, but the pace is brisk and practically every frame offers something to amaze, so its two hours-plus running time isn’t a major drawback.<br /><br />Rated PG-13, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” combines story, performances and special effects into a winning blend that results in a thoroughly entertaining experience.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack include the featurette “Before Harry Potter: A New Era of Magic Begins!;” close looks at the unusual critters depicted in the movie, several featurettes devoted to the film’s unique production design; and deleted scenes.
