Epic tells the wonderful story of good versus evil on the forest floor.

Epic tells the wonderful story of good versus evil on the forest floor.

Epic (PG) Universal

These days, animated children's adventures demand strong storylines with identifiable characters. These days, such is the competition in the children's market that a good-looking but lightweight movie no longer cuts it.

Epic tells the wonderful story of a battle between good and evil on the forest floor.

Dr Bomba (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) is an eccentric scientist who lives a solitary life on the edge of the forest.

He is convinced that tiny people live in the forest and protect it.

There is little respect for his views and he is left on his own to pursue his wild theory.

Everything changes when his estranged daughter, Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried), returns home.

She finds herself in the forest at the wrong time and gets caught up in a fierce battle between good and evil little people.

Shrunk by Queen Tara, MK finds herself the guardian of a pod which must be protected until it flowers.

With the help of a veteran Leafman warrior, two goofy molluscs and a young maverick, MK must keep the putrefying Boggans at bay.

If she should fail in her mission, the forest will be allowed to die.

With Boggan leader Mandrake closing in, MK and her friends must call on all their allies if they want to prevail and save the forest - and Dr Bomba just may have the answer.

This is a wonderful children's adventure with fun, drama and suspense, all in the right measures.
