Epic (2013)

I don't know I need to worry about this or not. I still love animated movie so much! I am a kid in my heart. hee hee. Watched this movie last night and the graphic was really fantastic but the plot? Ehmm, not that epic to be honest. I know I shouldn't expect it will be as adventurous as other similar movies. It's a movie for kids but that is such a waste to produce what a great animation but it was not balanced with the good plot.

I love those fantasy forest creatures even the disgusting slimy snails look really cutie. Flower petals are their skirts for the female creatures. The dandelion-haired lady; she is indeed a one, her head is bald when her body is shook. haa haa. And their transportations are birds.

A seventeen years old girl, Mary Katherine, moves in with her scientist father, Professor Bomba, who has a research to find and prove the existence of Leafman the tiny human soldiers in a forest. He has installed many cameras which connect to computer in his house in the edge of the forest which the taxi driver called like a pair of termites, to record any movements by the forest creatures activities if only one of them is by the Leafman.

Can't stand with her father's weird behavior, MK decides to leave but their three-legged and one-eyed dog Ozzy has made trouble by running to enter the forest causing MK runs after him. The same happens to Nod, a young Leafman soldier who decides to quit due to the no-nonsense leader Ronin.

The Leafmen are incumbent to protect their forest calls Moonhaven from the attack of the evil creatures called Boggans led by a malevolent Mandrake who wants to destroy it be forest decay. While there is a Queen Tara who protects the forest to stay green, but she needs to choose her heir by finding the best pod. Mandrake who know about the ceremony plan, with his troops attack the Queen and her Leafmen. 

Ronin kills Mandrake's son with his archery but Queen is also hurt by Mandrake and she falls to the ground. There MK finds her lay dying and Tara gives the pod to MK and tells her to bring it to Nim Galuu, a glowworm that lives in a tree. By holding the pod in her hand, MK has changed to be a tiny-sized girl with the same size as the Leafman and other creatures in Moonhaven.

Their adventure is begun. Nod is back to his Leafman fellows and shoulder to shoulder to protect the pod to make it blossoms under the moonlight or if it blossoms under the darkness, something they hope will save their forest, contrary, will destroy it and Mandrake's dream will come true. At the tight time, MK realizes that her father is true about the tiny people but they suckered him so he never finds Moonhaven and he is the last man whom they can expect to help.
