Strange Magic (2015)

Strange Magic was Neither Strange Nor Magical

[1/10 · 28 January 2015]

First off, this movie was WAAAYY too long, almost 2 hours. We had our 5 and 7 year old girls with us and they barely made it the end before falling asleep. The animation was OK, typical of this day and age. I appreciate all kinds of animation,but with this film, nothing really blew my mind. Most kid's films tug at your heart and have a wide appeal across all ages, but this film fell short. Maybe it was all of the incessant singing (I think Annie has less musical numbers than this movie!), or maybe it was the lack of a real plot, or maybe it was a total lack of real comic relief between the non stop singing, or that there were way too many characters to keep track of...Regardless, Lucas and Disney did not deliver on this one...
