Epic
Epic is a 2013 American 3D computer animated fantasy-adventure film loosely based on William Joyce's children's book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs.
FROM THE CREATORS OF ICE AGE AND RIO, Epic tells the story of an ongoing battle between the forces of good, who keep the natural world alive, and the forces of evil, who wish to destroy it. When a teenage girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she teams up with an elite band of warriors and a crew of comical, larger-than-life figures, to save their world… and ours.
Critic Reviews:
- " An absolute delight from start to finish, Epic features an award-worthy sequence where giant figures in extreme close-up move in slow motion as the tiny heroes scatter about. There's a freshness and originality to it that we see all-too-rarely. " – Jim Schembri
- " A fantasy forest is a fabulous setting for animation; it is filled with all shapes and sizes and colours of flowers and animals … Sweet and funny and sometimes exciting, Epic is a cleverly made visual delight, certain to keep younger kids entertained " – Urban Cinefile
- " … has enough excitement and visual flair to appeal to moviegoers of any age. " – Todd Jorgenson
