We’ve got our hands on the first official trailer of Strange Magic, the upcoming fantasy musical animated movie directed by Gary Rydstrom for LucasFilm:
STRANGE MAGIC
For ages two worlds lived divided: the magical and the mysterious.
Until someone crossed the line…
A battle is brewing.
A potion in unleashed.
From the mind of George Lucas.
They’re as different as night and day.
But sometimes even enemies… just need a little magic.
“A musical fairy tale inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The film features popular songs from the last 60 years. Goblins, elves, fairies and imps are all trying to get hold of a magic potion.”
The whole thing feels like a combination of Epic and Gnomeo and Juliet. Can’t say it brings anything new to the animated world… The CG animation isn’t that bad but it’s isn’t flabbergasting either. It’s a bit disappointing knowing the film comes from Lucas…
In theaters: January 23, 2015.
