Review of Strange Magic (2015) by Mikufan84 — 20 Jun 2022

Misguided potential. I actually think the main theme of the movie is rather interesting. And I give HUGE respect to the idea the bog king does not turn pretty, he physically stays the same. But the pacing is not very balanced.

So many songs are THROWN at you all at once, it feels like you're put into a teacup ride that refuses to slow down, not to mention the questionable but graphically impressive lighting and art style. That's the weird thing.

It does have soul not it simply isn't very well written. I wish this movie had better editing, less emphasis on songs and dialogue. Because I think the romance DOES WORK. And some of the designs are rather cute when they aren't covered in overly detailed hair and fur.

This is an odd but intriguing movie that you should check out ONLY if you are aware it's not amazing.
