Strange Magic

Everyone deserves to be loved.


Strange Magic
An odd misstep from Disney and Lucasfilm, meaning this film is getting a very limited release here. Popular songs from the past six decades help tell the tale of a colourful cast of goblins, elves, fairies and imps, and their hilarious misadventures sparked by the battle over a powerful potion. Strictly for the under-tens, and sort-of based on Shakespear's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

99 minutes.
Parental Guidance (Violence).
Animated, Family, Fantasy, Musical.

Not currently showing on the local cinema circuit.

Tomatometer quote icon Like most modern animated movies, Strange Magic is lovely to look at; unfortunately, there isn't much going on beneath the surface.
