Are you looking for a great family friendly movie that the
whole family will love? I would like to introduce you all to the newest movie
release from Blue Sky Entertainment, Epic.
From the creators of Ice Age comes the year’s
funniest, most exhilarating animated adventure! Transported to a magical world,
a teenager (Amanda Seyfried) is recruited by a nature spirit, Queen Tara
(Beyoncé Knowles), to help the “Leafmen” save their forest from evil warriors.
The whole family will love this fast-paced thrill-ride, with its astonishing
animation and an all-star voice cast that includes Colin Farrell, Oscar® Winner
Christoph Waltz* and Steven Tyler! "EPIC
tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of
good and the forces of evil. When a teenage girl finds herself magically
transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag
team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world... and
ours." The film is based on William Joyce's children book "The Leaf
Men and the Brave Good Bugs".
Ronin is the chisel-faced, battle-hardened leader of
the Leafmen, the elite corps of warriors sworn to protect all life in the
forest. He lives by the creed: “many leaves, one tree” and wouldn’t think twice
about putting his own life on the line for someone he cares about. When the
forest and his beloved Queen come under siege, Ronin rallies the Leafmen into
action with his bravery and wry humor.
Bomba
A quirky, absent-minded professor, Bomba has grown out of touch with his now teenage daughter, MK. He lives in the middle of the forest, in a rundown house, where he surrounds himself with bizarre homemade gadgets. His life has been dedicated to – some would say obsessed with – studying –a civilization of tiny people he’s never seen. But when MK disappears, Bomba must put his own dreams under the microscope, and find what he’s really always been looking for.

Nod
Rakish and handsome, Nod is all about bucking the rules and flying solo. But his brazen individualism doesn't square with the Leafmen’s ideals of teamwork and unity, so he quits the squad. After a teenage girl enters his world – and when the stakes are high – Nod discovers what it takes to be a true hero.

Mary Katherine (MK)
Mary Katherine (she prefers “MK”) is a smart, spirited and headstrong 17-year-old who finds herself on the journey of a lifetime. After returning to her childhood home to connect with her estranged father, MK loses patience with his endless stories of the “tiny people” who live in the woods. But when she is magically transported into the Leafmen’s world, she gains a new perspective. To find her way home, MK must do more than believe in this world; she’ll have to help save it.

Low on the evolutionary food chain, but high in self-esteem, Mub, a self-characterized “ladies’ man,” and Grub, a wannabe Leafman, are the caretakers of the royal pod that will bloom into the future Queen or King of the forest. Though this slug-and-snail comedy duo is spineless, literally, they show real backbone by joining the quest to save their world.
Nim Galuu
At first glance, Nim Galuu is the consummate party animal. But don’t let this larger than life caterpillar fool you – his wisdom and practical know-how make him a key behind-the-scenes player in the epic battle to save the forest.

Queen Tara
Beautiful, agile and strong, Tara isn’t just the Leafmen’s Queen; she’s the life force of the forest, which she presides over with respect, compassion and humor. When Tara finds herself in danger, her unique connection with nature gives her powerful allies. And when all hope seems lost, she summons help from the most surprising of places.

Bufo
A tough-guy toad, Bufo is a wheeler and dealer who plays all the angles: he profits no matter which side wins or loses.

Mandrake
Gifted, or cursed, with the ability to bring destruction to anything he touches, Mandrake and his Boggan minions are the arch-nemeses of the Leafmen. Mandrake is tired of hiding in the shadows, and with his son by his side, he plans the ultimate revenge – to claim the forest he believes should have always been his.

Our Take:
As a working mom
life can be hectic, and slowing things down and enjoying some family time and just
unplugging and spending some quality time with my family. We love to have
family movie nights this is a great time to spend together just hanging out and
having fun. The other night we were very fortunate to check out the new dvd
Epic. We popped some popcorn, and had some fun treats, and enjoyed a movie
together.
Epic is a computer animated movie, that is filled with wondrous and amazing animation. You will just be in awe of the super clean animation and beautiful gardens. The fantasy forest is a magical place that would be great to visit. The story revolves around a teen that has been recruited to help the small magical folks of the forest. My daughter loved the funny slugs, I have to admit I chuckled a bit in the scenes they were in. Colin Farrell was great as Ronin, he is a great voice actor as well as standard actor.
