About the movie:
Epic the movie is loosely based on the book by William Joyce, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs. A lot of the characters are the same, but the plot was changed up so that there would be more action and adventure. In the story a young girl named Mary Katherine finds herself transported to a different world. In this world animals can talk and plants are alive. She finds that there is a battle raging between good and evil.
Epic is directed by Chris Wedge of Ice Age and Robots fame. It is an animated film that has been compared to a kid's version of Avatar. A lot of musicians lend their voices to the film including Beyonce, Pitbull, and Steven Tyler from Aerosmith.
