“Strange Magic” is an upcoming 3D computer-animated musical fantasy comedy film, produced by Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation. The film is directed by Gary Rydstrom and written by him, David Berenbaum and Irene Mecchi, from a story by George Lucas. This is a madcap fairy tale musical inspired by “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Popular songs from the past six decades help tell the tale of a colorful cast of goblins, elves, fairies and imps, and their hilarious misadventures sparked by the battle over a powerful potion. The film stars Alan Cumming, Evan Rachel Wood, Kristen Chenoweth and Maya Rudolph.
According to director Rydstrom, George Lucas “really wanted to make a beautiful fairy tale with goblins and elves and do it in a way that only this company can do. He had been working on it for a long time.” Rydstrom mentioned that Lucas emphasized that the story should be about “finding beauty in strange places.”
