PLOT
After the death of her mother, 17 year-old teenager named Mary Katherine a.k.a. M.K. (Amanda Seyfried) moves back to live with her father, professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), along with pet dog Ozzy. Madly obsessed natural scientist is convinced that there are tiny men called Leafmen living in the forest. And they are. A Leafman warrior and leader of the Leaf-Men, Ronin (Colin Farrell) is loyal protector of the queen of the forest Tara (Beyoncé Knowles), who must decide to choose an heir to her throne. And while Bomba is losing daughter's trust and love, she become involved in the Leafmens world. There, she also met a boy, a rookie Leafman warrior Nod (Josh Hutcherson).
REVIEW
Although plot is predictable and in that sense there is nothing new (good vs evil, tiny hidden worlds), it's still visual beautiful film with sweet enjoyable characters (funny snails Mub&Grub are awesome). Level of details and design are gorgeous! Really amazing job! Fantasy forest world remined me of the world in the Avatar film a bit and villains were similar to orcs from Lord of the Rings. Maybe you'll not feel for the movie right away but I'm sure you'll love it at the end. You can let your imagination run wild, it's a family movie, there are some laughters, romance and action as well. And if you wondering if the movie is really epic like it's title says. No, I'm afraid not (despite its potential to be), but it's still good, colorful, enchanting, entertaining animation to watch! 4-/5
