'Strange Magic' Movie Hits Theaters Jan 2015 Voiced By Evan Rachel Wood, Elijah Kelley & Kristen Chenoweth Releases New Extended Trailer, Watch Here (VIDEO)
The upcoming animated movie, Strange Magic has released a new extended trailer, which you can check out above.
The film is voiced by Evan Rachel Wood, Elijah Kelley and Kristin Chenoweth and is scheduled to released to theaters on January 23rd.
Strange Magic is from Lucasfilm Ltd. and 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.
The movie is directed by Gary Rydstrom ("Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation," "Lifted") from a story by George Lucas. Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and Industrial Light & Magic bring to life the fanciful forest turned upside down with world-class animation and visual effects.
According to director Gary Rydstrom, George Lucas "really wanted to make a beautiful fairy tale with goblins and elves, and do it in a way that only this company can do. He had been working on it for a long time." Rydstrom mentioned that Lucas emphasized that the story should be about "finding beauty in strange places."
Before The Walt Disney Company acquired Lucasfilm in late 2012, production on Strange Magic was already well underway. Rydstrom and his crew screened the film for Disney executives. Rydstrom stated "We're not Pixar or Disney Animation, so in some ways George was our John [Lasseter] on this one...I like the fact - not that I don't like advice from all over - but this is our own thing, this is a Lucasfilm project...I remember when Labyrinth came out and how exciting that was. There was a magic to that, this has the same vibe to me."
