NEW DELHI: ‘Strange Magic’, a new animated feature film, is being released by Disney on 23 January with an original story by George Lucas. 

Strange Magic is a madcap fairy tale musical inspired by William Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night's Dream.”

Popular songs from the past six decades help tell the tale of a colourful cast of goblins, elves, fairies and imps, and their hilarious misadventures sparked by the battle over a powerful potion. 

Lucasfilm Animation Singapore and Industrial Light & Magic, which created the CGI animation for 2011’s Academy Award-winning film Rango, bring to life the fanciful forest turned upside down with world-class animation and visual effects.

With a story by George Lucas, Strange Magic is directed by Gary Rydstrom (Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation, Lifted), produced by Mark S. Miller (associate producer Mars Attacks!) and executive produced by George Lucas, with a screenplay by David Berenbaum (Elf), Irene Mecchi (Brave, The Lion King) and Rydstrom.

The aim is also to prove that Lucas Film is not just about the ‘Star Wars’ Universe.
