Visually, EPIC captures the beauty of the lush forest in which the majority of the characters live. Because if Mandrake and the Boggans can capture the bulb, the forest will turn into a barren wasteland. and the bulb in the hopes of keeping it away from the forest's archenemy, Mandrake ( Christoph Waltz), leader of the Boggans - nefarious creatures who cause rot and destruction. is confused but quickly realizes that her father is right, thanks to the head of the Leafmen, Ronin ( Colin Farrell), and his rebellious protege, Nod ( Josh Hutcherson), who guard M.K. until she witnesses the death of the tiny forest queen Tara ( Beyonce Knowles), who entrusts her with the care of a magical bulb that must bloom in that very night's moonlight.
M.K., like her late mother, thinks her obsessed father is mentally ill. (voiced by Amanda Seyfried), goes to live with her estranged father, Bomba ( Jason Sudeikis), a disgraced professor who's convinced that the forests are inhabited by tiny creatures, including armed warrior guards.
They totally nailed it with this masterpiece and it's TOTALLY underrated and WAY better than Frozen, which came out later and is overrated to be honest.Īfter her mother dies, teenager Mary Katherine, aka M.K. The good thing was that like many movies, good wins over evil. The story was underrated, though sadness lurked as well but balanced well, as in the queen died but then later a new one rose after good was saved. Yet I told a story to one of my friends about being a fly at an arena seeing the players shoot their balls toward the basket hoops and dribbling the balls every which way in such thundering mind-blowing fashion. Now I had thoughts and imaginations of being in a basketball arena as a fly and seeing the basketball players shooting hoops from such perspective. Imagine if you were the size of a fly and saw everything in slow motion. The theory of bugs and flies seeing things in slow motion was priceless and the appearance of slow-moving giants from a fly's perspective totally nailed it in this movie. The way Mary Katherine (MK, who unfortunately died at 18 in reality from brain cancer) shrunk was more like a roller coaster ride and if any of you ever experienced that it'd be a TOTAL pants-wetting thrill. The idea of shrinking has been done many times in movies, but still executed well in this, yet the perspective totally suspended disbelief. Nature involving battle between good and evil mixed well and the lessons learned tell us to take good care of nature. The idea of the plot and story made perfect sense and so did the visuals. I 1st saw it at school and it totally nailed it.
Epic movies for kids movie#
This was a perfect flawless A+ movie that came out in 2013. To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly Family Movie Night emails. Expect some insult language ("stupid," "idiot," etc.). In addition to the violence, there's a romantic nature to two relationships in the movie, as well as several flirty (and snotty) jokes courtesy of a slug voiced by Aziz Ansari. The main villain is merciless and believes that it's his mission to destroy the forest and rule over a rotting wasteland. adolescent storyline that should appeal to kids, but know that there are definitely battles and even a small body count (mostly due to arrows). Part eco-friendly tale and part tiny-creatures story, Epic (which was inspired by the characters in William Joyce's children's book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs) centers on a teen girl who's magically shrunk into the world of miniscule armed archers called Leafmen who protect the forest from evil. Parents need to know that Epic is an animated adventure from the same studio behind the Ice Age franchise and Rio.
