Come back! At least we can enjoy the ever so wonderful Evan Rachel Wood in this short featurette for Lucas’ new animated film, Strange Magic. It’s a film that once again plays on the Beauty and the Beast type of story as two people who are completely different in looks fall in love (Or if we’re going to be honest, the “Pretty person falls in love with someone much uglier and this makes us happy” genre) in a world of goblins, elves, fairies and imps and their misadventures sparked by the battle for powerful potion.
The featurette is littered with clips from the film (and Evan Rachel Wood hilarious saying "this film has music"). But as nice as the animation is, it looks absolutely dreadful. You can briefly hear some of the film’s musical numbers and they just sound terrible. Maybe we shouldn’t judge so soon, but if you’re looking for a film that’s perfect for the whole family, that has fantasy, that has music and musical number, then you’ve probably got about a million and one better options to choose from.
Strange Magic is in cinemas now
