Epic

"Many leaves, one tree." It's the theme of this wonderful animated delight. Maybe it's because my family tends to believe a very similar philosophy, that we are all in it this world together, is why we all loved this movie and wanted to watch it again and again. But it's more than that that will have us adding this movie to our collection. It's the beautiful animation, fun story & jokes mixed in with the more serious over arching theme, and the just pure entertainment we all got from watching Epic. It's also not often that there is a kid's movie that my 10yr old boy, 5 yr old girl & my husband & I all agree on. But like I said, not only did we all like it...we all couldn't wait to watch it again. Maybe we somehow saw a different movie than the nay-sayers & critics did. Who knows. But what I do know is that it was worth every penny of the HD Rental & Santa will be leaving the Blue-Ray version under the tree for our "family gift" this year.

Love the movie. No issues with case or dvd

Great animation and a delightful story. My husband and I were worried that the pc police were going to shove more pc compost down our throats when we tentatively took our children to this movie. (Eg. evil human beings indiscriminately and selfishly destroy all of nature and cause global warming.) We were pleasantly surprised, that it reflected the more common truth that nature turns on itself in most cases; there are predators and prey within the animal kingdom and do a good job of killing/defending without man's blame/intervention. (This is why I gave it its fifth star.) The relationships between the different "ecosystem families" were well developed and realistically touching--no family is perfect and we need to be patient and give each other the benefit of the doubt. I don't think it ever got sappy, and even showed some depth. So it made the cut for a dvd purchase. While the animation is stunningly beautiful and feels very real, I think the title "Epic" is a bit of stretch. Definitely not cutesy like a Tinker Bell movie, but very few movies could deserve the title "Epic".

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 watched this film with my 3 kids. First it was just my son (6) and I and then each of the rest of the family was drawn to watch it as well (my girls are 9 and 10). Even my husband walked by and decided to watch this movie. We really liked the story line. It is sort of a modern day, more exciting and detailed version of Horton Hears a Who. I like the values it teaches like believing in yourself, following your passion in life, and of course the power and beauty of nature vs. those forces that choose to destroy it. From an artistic standpoint I thought the animation was beautiful and the plant people were so creatively designed. The colors and the forest setting were captivating. The whole family loved both the animation, the characters, and the storyline. I would recommend this film for family movie night and especially to those outdoorsy families like ours!

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.

Ai miei bimbi è piaciuto moltissimo, perchè le lumache fanno molto ridere, dicono, e perchè ci sono un sacco di avventure. Al tempo stesso li ha fatti riflettere sulla natura, sui cicli di vita e morte e sulla collaborazione per poter portare a termine una missione. Molto bello, ben disegnato e con una vena comica che ci è piaciuta.

Love this movie

Beau film d'animation !
