STRANGE
MAGIC, a new animated film
from Lucasfilm Ltd., will be released by Touchstone Pictures on January 23,
2015!
STRANGE
MAGIC is a madcap fairy
tale musical inspired by “A Midsummer Night's Dream.” Popular songs from the
past six decades help tell the tale of a colorful cast of goblins, elves,
fairies and imps, and their hilarious misadventures sparked by the battle over a
powerful potion. Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and Industrial Light & Magic,
which created the CGI animation for 2011’s Academy Award®-winning film “Rango,”
bring to life the fanciful forest turned upside down with world-class animation
and visual effects.
With a story by
George Lucas, STRANGE MAGIC is directed by Gary Rydstrom (“Toy Story
Toons: Hawaiian Vacation,” “Lifted”), produced by Mark S. Miller (associate
producer “Mars Attacks!”) and executive produced by George Lucas, with a
screenplay by David Berenbaum (“Elf”), Irene Mecchi (“Brave,” “The Lion King”)
and Rydstrom. An extraordinary roster of film, television and Broadway stars
lend their voices to “Strange Magic,” including Alan Cumming (CBS’ “The Good
Wife,” Broadway’s “Cabaret”), Evan Rachel Wood (“The Ides of March”), Kristin
Chenoweth (Broadway’s “Wicked”), Maya Rudolph (“Big Hero 6,” “Bridesmaids”), Sam
Palladio (ABC’s “Nashville”), newcomer Meredith Anne Bull, Alfred Molina
(“Chocolat”), Elijah Kelley (“Hairspray,” “The Butler”), Bob Einstein
(HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm”) and Peter Stormare (“Fargo”). Well-known music
producer Marius de Vries (“Moulin Rouge”) serves as both the musical director
and composer.
