Movie – Epic

It’s good when a film lives up to its name! This animation was a little solo treat for me - and treat being the word!You never know which way it’s going to go in kiddie films; is it going to be unnecessarily noisy, too much sugar or just a downright mess and that’s just the audience.But no, there was plenty to keep the adults and the under three-foot and under brigade occupied as the story of the forest underworld is unveiled on the primary coloured screen in front of us. It’s a traditional good v evil plot where the fairies, slugs and tree-men fight to preserve the good over the bad bugs.I’ve not been able to look at nature the same way again!8½/10Smile factor 9½/10Coffee rating:Americano
