Royalty comes to Fern Gully - We liked it.
We missed "Epic" at the theaters. But, we received the 3D BluRay yesterday on my Wife's birthday. Five adults hovering in front of the Sharp 70" Quatra, in the darkened room, with sunglasses. Quite a sight. BUT, more importantly ages 29 to 64 and we all enjoyed "Epic".I tend to not over think the individual flaws of a film, but how it stands as an ensemble. Sometimes we don't agree with the logic of the story, but in the end, is the important issue is, was the story well told over all. Epic qualifies for "Story Well Told"."Epic's" RIO genealogy shows though in the most positive ways. Beautiful to watch. Good vs. Evil, etc., and yes Good prevails. I'm certain all of my grandchildren will love it and their parents will approve.As other have said, the animation is breathtakingly beautiful with amazing attention to detail. The 3D is NOT "in your face" but just enough to gain that extra degree of "being there". It was very tasteful. This is artful animation, not the CG live-action of Avatar. The 3D was just right for me, and the family agreed. The use of foreground vs back ground carried though even into the credits. KUDOs for being true to the 3D art form. This is a film you can forget it's in 3D until you turn the 3D off. Then you know it's missing. Just right...We'll watch it over and over as each batch of kids and grownups circles through the house to watch in 3D or 2D as the groups prefer.It will undoubtedly become a "standard" as sure as RIO, Ice Age, Robots, and other BlueSky animated films have. That reminds me, time to watch Robots again!Thanks BluSky for thinking just enough out of the box.My primary criticisms: "What's up with the title"? No wonder people didn't flock to see it. Too bad. Don't let the title put you off. The film could have just as easily be title" "Wonderful" or "Enchanting", which it was for us. My secondary criticism is the extra features are only on the 2D disk in the set. Surely the 3D didn't take up that much extra data on the disk, or maybe it did with the exceptional detail. Furthermore, this is a very complex project and I think there were many opportunities missed in the Extra features. They weren't the Extras you'll tell your friends about, etc.. like those found on Shrek and some other animated films. Oh wait!. Maybe I just figured out why they didn't bother to include them on the 3D disk.Balance your life. Watch "Epic" with friends and family, then go out and enjoy the outdoors the Leafmen are protecting.SRJ and family in Portland, OR

Enjoyable, but hate the marketing
I thought the quality of the animation and the story line were very good. In many ways it was a typical story of being miniaturized into the natural world and learning life lessons--the kind of story that has been around since before my generation. But,being a fan of Tolkien, etc. I found the whole idea fascinating.However, I don't really appreciate having to buy three disks when I only need one. I don't play movies on my computer much since I don't travel much with a computer. There is no movie that I must see whenever I'm on the road. It can wait until I get back home. I wish that companies would stop assuming that everyone does and wants the same thing. I am forced to pay a higher price than should be necessary. For that reason I normally wait until the film is on pay-per-view on TV or is offered on Netflix. (My wife is the movie nut that has to have a collection of movies to watch over and over)

Fun animated family film
A really cute storyline about a Scientist who believes there’s a whole world of tiny insect sized people living in the forest. His teenage daughter comes to visit after her mother’s passing and gets sucked into this tiny world and the battle of good verses evil.

I bought it, and have watched it repeatedly.
Once upon a time, in a land VERY FAR, FAR AWAY, storytellers gifted with superb imaginations and no small amount of virtue made visual entertainments you could watch without "cringe". This is one such offering, and it is truly magical. "Hiss the villains, cheer the champions, laugh at the well intentioned "big feet" [SOOO SLOOOW"] and then share the sheer joy of film-making with others. Unreservedly recommended.

Wonderful!
How had I never seen this movie before?! It's perfectly adorable. If you ever saw The Littles on TV, this is similar. A race of tiny people life among us. Except these are forest fae, bugs and plant-like. The story as much exciting and sweet, as it is heartfelt. And so well done! The animation, the movements of the warrior leaf men, and the archers is exquisite. I picked this up because of the book I just read. So if you like the vibe of this movie, I recommend you read Gladefolk by HM Skinner. It's right here on Kindle.
