Strange Magic. There were so many things about this movie, I don't even know where to begin. It was a really fun and entertaining movie, that's perfect for all ages. Most animated movies are usually for younger children and teens, but this movie appeals to even adults. If you liked the animated movie, Epic, you'll love this one because it incorporated the same themes and symbols like nature, love, fairies, magic, animals, friendship, importance of family, and other things, into the plot line. I personally thought that the Strange Magic animation was exceptional and the entire movie was extremely well made. The characters were fresh and exciting looking, instead of being another cliche animated character. Unlike Epic, there was a lot of singing. For some, this isn't a selling point, but I actually enjoyed the singing. Instead of original songs, there were many different songs from many years ago to the present. This is another reason why parents and children alike will enjoy this movie; adults will recognize and enjoy some older songs, and there are also songs kids can sing along to. For example, in one scene the main character, Marianne, began singing "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. I thought this part was very cool. In addition to LOVE, a strong theme running through the movie was FAMILY AND FRIENDSHIP. Similarly to Frozen, the two main characters were two sisters, one a princess, and one soon-to-be queen. The plot line was about a sister going to save her sister. Another theme, was to never judge a person by their looks. Just like Marianne, the main character, found, you have to looks past appearance. The ending wasn't all too surprising, but it was very different to any other animated movie, because everyone - the villain and hero - got a happy ending.

pandy123over 10 yearsI want to watch this movie
What I liked most about "Strange Magic" was that it wasn't like the other "fairy" tales. (Hahha get it... because this one actually has faries in it) Anyway, it doesn't have the fixed characters of heroes and villians. The heroes and villians both go through a change,but they all get their happy endings. It all focuses on Marianne the fairy princess, and how after being cheated on by her fiance, Roland, she promises to "never fall in love again". She changes her whole image, starting with the menacing purple eye shadow. As Marianne changes, she has to go on an adventure to save her sister (Dawn) from the "Bog King", whom has taken her into the dark forest. This all started from Sunny ( Dawn's secret admirer) making a forbidden love potion. She goes through the story with other characters; Roland trying to win her love so he can have an army, and my favorite charcater was the imp, the mouse like creature, who reminded me of the squirrell from "Ice Age". Everything played a part in leading up to Marianne and the Bog King falling in love. This was something I really liked because villians can get happy endings too, and it showded you can find love in unexpected places. The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the lack of information of the Bog King's first love, it didn't really tell much about how he got how he was. Really, if you like other Disney movies like Frozen (a girl changing and locking herself away; falls in love with the wrong guy; falls in love with the unexpected guy;that one funny animal;two sisters), or even the humor in "Ice Age." I think this movie was fun to watch (especially the modern songs) and I would recommend it to someone who wants a quick, adventuress story where several people can be a hero and where you should never judge a book by it's cover.
