From NY Daily News.I do not own this picture/poster. Epic and/or The Beyond Hollywood.
If you have a little one fascinated by the struggle between dung and mulch, “Epic” may briefly hold your child’s interest. Yet even young would-be botanists will find this charmless animated adventure as exciting as watching grass grow.
On the forest floor, tiny leaf-men ride birds and watch over the forest. Their queen (a dull vocal performance from BeyoncĂ©) is choosing a small bud to become her heir when the evil Boggans, who live to rot away greenery, interrupt her. The bud lands with human teen Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried), who’s visiting her nutty professor dad at his cabin.
Grasping the bud as a full moon rises, M.K. is shrunk down to leaf-man size. Recruited to help leaf-man warrior Ronin (Colin Farrell) and young soldier Nod (Josh Hutcherson), M.K. learns that every daisy, dandelion and stick has a face, as her dad suspected, and that a skeletal creature called Mandrake (Christoph Waltz) wants to rule the forest. A caterpillar librarian (Steven Tyler, really?) croaks out a song. An annoying slug-and-snail team provide “comic” relief.
