Review of Strange Magic (2015) by Steven E — 22 Jan 2015
Well, unlike Annie, at least THIS movie seems to have been made by people who love musicals (perhaps a bit TOO much) -- and what works so well for Moulin Rouge nearly runs Strange Magic into the ground within the first 5 mins -- musical OVERLOAD!!! Why are there SO MANY SONGS??? I swear there was more singing in this movie than that adaptation of Into the Woods -- EGADS! And the eclectic mix of Jukebox tunes only makes sense if you're drunk in a karaoke bar.
But there were moments of this movie that were delightful (in a terrible 1980s/1990s animated fantasies that make no sense kind of way). I'd watch it again on Netflix someday. I'd be interested to see what kids and parents think of this movie -- there was no one in the theatre with me.
