Strange Magic DVD

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, thanks to 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 (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.

We enjoyed watching this beautiful fairy tale about finding true love in the unlikeliest places. The characters are strange but super colourful and the music is really entertaining. Check it out for yourself! Strange Magic was released on DVD and Digital on May 19, 2015.
