After hearing about it for so long, Strange Magic has hit theaters and many of my friends have already gone to see it. There were those who had the good fortune to see it at Skywalker Ranch and interview George Lucas and there were those who have seen it in theaters. Reports are coming back that this is a fun movie and I would love to take the kids to see it. I have some fun stuff for you about the movie including some Fun Facts, a new featurette and some downloadable activity sheets.
I few of my friends had the extremely amazing opportunity to see Strange Magic last week at Skywalker Ranch. They got to meet and interview George Lucas. An amazing experience to say the least. I also spoke with my friend Adam Cohen who is one of my co-hosts on the new podcast . He saw Strange Magic early and he loved it. We are pretty spot on for movie tastes so I’m going to trust his judgement. He said that the movie is like a rock opera and it was pretty fantastic. Check out this short video clip from the movie.

This new cute little featurette gives us some more insight into the characters of Strange Magic which comes out in a couple of weeks. Things are starting to make a little more sense to me now. I also love seeing faces with the characters and people doing the voice over work. There is some real talent happening in this movie. Check out the featurette below.
Strange Magic is a movie from George Lucas. It is a musical fairy tale that was inspired by “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Recently the trailer was released for the movie. I have it to share with you along with a couple of stills from the movie.
STRANGE MAGIC, a new animated film from Lucasfilm Ltd., will be released by Touchstone Pictures on January 23, 2015!
STRANGE MAGIC is a madcap fairy tale musical inspired by “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Popular songs from the past six decades help tell the tale of a colorful cast of goblins, elves, fairies and imps, and their hilarious misadventures sparked by the battle over a powerful potion. Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and Industrial Light & Magic, which created the CGI animation for 2011’s Academy Award®-winning film “Rango,” bring to life the fanciful forest turned upside down with world-class animation and visual effects.
With a story by George Lucas, STRANGE MAGIC is directed by Gary Rydstrom (“Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation,” “Lifted”), produced by Mark S. Miller (associate producer “Mars Attacks!”) and executive produced by George Lucas, with a screenplay by David Berenbaum (“Elf”), Irene Mecchi (“Brave,” “The Lion King”) and Rydstrom. An extraordinary roster of film, television and Broadway stars lend their voices to “Strange Magic,” including Alan Cumming (CBS’ “The Good Wife,” Broadway’s “Cabaret”), Evan Rachel Wood (“The Ides of March”), Kristin Chenoweth (Broadway’s “Wicked”), Maya Rudolph (“Big Hero 6,” “Bridesmaids”), Sam Palladio (ABC’s “Nashville”), newcomer Meredith Anne Bull, Alfred Molina (“Chocolat”), Elijah Kelley (“Hairspray,” “The Butler”), Bob Einstein (HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm”) and Peter Stormare (“Fargo”). Well-known music producer Marius de Vries (“Moulin Rouge”) serves as both the musical director and composer.
