Ready to take an animated roller-coaster ride into the fantastical world of Strange Magic? Join Dan and Tony as they delve into the peculiarities, plot holes, and questionable decisions that make this 2015 film a head-scratcher. From its hefty price tag to an oddly chosen soundtrack, we're left wondering what went on in the production meetings.
As we delve deeper into the mystical mayhem of Strange Magic, things get even stranger. We tackle the controversial themes that lurk beneath the film's surface like, which kid's movie teaches that love needs to be forcibly obtained? And why is the Bog King's character design so outlandishly odd? Don't get us started on Sonny the elf. And of course, we can't ignore the convoluted love potion subplot, which seems a weak explanation for sudden romantic feelings. We also mull over the missed opportunity of Kelly Clarkson's song. So, join us as we try to make sense of this jumbled jigsaw of a film, toss around sequel ideas, and devise a new business venture for our lovable Bog King. Tune in to our lively discussion and maybe, just maybe, you might find a strange kind of magic in it!
Be our friend!
