Epic


Synopsis:

Mary Katherine or MK, is a headstrong, spirited teenager who has a strained relationship with her father. She loses patience with her dad's tales of unseen people who live in the woods, but when she is magically transported to that mythic realm, she gains new perspective. MK joins a race of beings known as the Leafmen in their battle to protect their queen from their enemies, evil Mandrake and his crew of Boggans.





In this 2013 animated film, the tiny little soldier characters called the Leafmen  are actually based from the children's illustrated book by William Joyce entitled "The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs." Now, the film does not follow the book's plot. The book tells of an old lady who owns a lovely rose garden home to insects and bugs. When the old lady got sick, her rose garden also began to wither. And so the bugs fought against the evil Spider Queen with the help of the Leaf Men.

The characters in the film were voiced by popular celebrities like Amanda Seyfried for Mary Katherine and Beyonce Knowles lending her voice to Queen Tara.

However far apart the two plots were, they have one common subject - Nature, one that truly needs to be taken care of.
