Ever HEARD of Strange Magic? 

So this was George Lucus' idea of a movie for 10 yo girls as to him Star wars was for 10 yo boys so he wanted to reach the other target audience. He took pride in having over 50 yrs of pop songs squished in. This is low key my guilty pleasure, it could have been so much better though

Also can I just say Im so glad the movie looks so weird, Im sure a few people would find it ugly but I think it works so well. It looks like if concept art was animated and for a story like this it really feels right for it to look like illustrations in classic tinker bell books. Especially as an artist myself I think this wouldn’t work with a more classic style of 3D, it needs to look “quirky” and in the dark forest, disgustingly beautiful.

honestly, the moment they started fighting, I was like: "Is it a flirty fight?... It IS a flirty fight!" and since that moment I knew I was gonna love this movie

I just rewatched this recently and it definitely a guilty pleasure, although I freaking hate that Sunny and Dawn became a thing. Bog at least learned from his past mistakes and had character development. Sunny tried to force Dawn to love him, he was the definition of a "nice guy". He didn't really learn anything. He didn't deserve Dawn.

"YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE--" "You?!" "Yes." "Antidote?!" "Working on it." That scene alone makes me cackle every time. Edit: GOOD GODS Y'ALL REALLY LIKED THIS COMMENT HUH--

I love this movie, it’s really nostalgic. Thanks for reviewing it, this was tons of fun!

11:28 Exactly. This is the reason why I liked the movie. You see the perspective of how and why these characters became guarded. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has heard "why are you like this?". Well the movie shows two characters who became guarded to survive that hurt. And even if they had their walls up, they still found love. I liked that I could relate to them and have some hope. Edit: Also I agree, Sunny was creepy.

Ever since Cellspex's review of Strange Magic, this film's been plaguing my mind. On one hand, it's a jukebox musical, got humour that doesn't work for me, and Sunny gets way too much screen time. But on the other, the visuals are breathtaking and the Beauty and the Beast story is charming. Bog King is such an intruiging character. It frustrates me that this mediocre film could've had so much potential, and therefore is a guilty pleasure of mine

I'm gonna be honest Me and my family walked into theatre, watched this, stepped out, and collectively stared at each other in shock. It's.. I don't want to trash on it, especially when this is a positive review, but man, we did not like it back then. We all just agreed it was bad and apparently my family forgot it even existed. I randomly remembered it like a year ago and tried bringing up with my family but they were like "???"

Finally, a RU-vid channel that doesn't immediately dump all over one of my favorite movies. You gave it an honest, positive review and actually enjoyed it.

Fun fact! This movie is based on ‘a midsummer nights dream’ which was written by Shakespeare! ❤️

Bro do you know how HAPPY I was when I FINALLY saw someone talking about this movie??? I saw it while it was in theaters and yet when I went to talk about it with my friends none of them had even heard of it and and for a long time it seemed like no one but me knew it existed 😭👍✨

I just came back after watching it, and ive got to say my favorite moment is towards the end when Dawn goes up to Bog and he is like "dont sing" and then she calls him by his name "bog" and he immediately replied with "Boggy" cause he has gotten so used to her calling him that 🤣🤣

I'm so happy that someone finally talks about this movie, 'cause I really like it but it seems that I'm in minority. 😅

I remember my sister bugging me for days to watch Strange Magic. I don't regret watching it. It's not the best movie ever, but I liked how they didn't make it as black and white as most movies. The story itself is not that original, but the details make it better. And with my family loving music to the point of singing all day at home and performing every now and then, the music was nostalgic and made us enjoy it a lot (of course we made our mum watch it too)

Omg a positive review of this movie 😭 When it first came out, all the reviews on youtube were so negative! I'm glad you were open-minded about it and actually character analyse Marianne and Bog cuz I really think they are the heart of the movie. I definitely agree about the 'so bad its good' part. For me, some of the dialogues came out sounding so awkward and cringe sometimes but I turn a blind eye on them when it comes to Marianne and Bog. I thought their bonding time (eventhough very short) worked really well and I think the second half of the movie saved it from being "unwatchable" to "huh I liked it". For what its worth, this movie totally awakened my interest of the enemy to lovers trope and I'm forever grateful I stumbled upon it 🥰 Its my guilty pleasure movie lol.

How strange as this movie is. (pun very much intended) I will say that having two ppl who both have their guard up slowly open up and fall in love with each is actually pretty original. Most the time it’s just one person who has their guard up and the other one eventually gets them to bring their guard down. I don’t think there are many other movies if any at all that have both the love interests have their guard up

I randomly came across this movie a few years ago and i fell madly in love with it, it deserves to have a few things changed but the main plotline delivered by Bog & Marianne's romance is incredibly convincing, entertaining and touching. They gotta be the best animated couple in my book

This movie holds a soft spot in my heart, I remeber going into the movie and seeing it and walking out amazed. I loved this movie as a little girl to the point where not only did I see it in theaters twice. But with my toys would do a re-enactment of the entire movie. It's still one of my favorite animated movies, I think I really liked it because the two main love interest were so different from any character I had ever seen before. A princess who didn't care about love, only her sister and could fight. Not only that, but went off on the guy who cheated her amazed me. And the evil king who was perseved as bad and ugly just wanting love. And not really being as bad of a person as they thought he would. Seeing to characters so different falling in love amazed my little mind at the time. So this movie has always been a favorite of mine due to the big impact it had on my childhood. Which makes me pretty happy to see a video on it!

The fanfiction that came from this movie 🥰 Ugh it helped me through some tough times in 2015. The fandom was surprisingly active too. I return to it every now and then for nostalgia. Definitely a guilty comfort movie/fandom.

as an artist who worked on the film, thank you for the review!

So first off, I barely hear positive reviews of strange magic, and I watched it as a kid, but all the negative reviews have pushed me from watching it again, even though I’ve been rewatching shows and movies from my childhood, but this has given me a like, desire to give it a shot since I don’t feel like I’ll waste my time? So thanks? And, OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ARTHUR!!!!! It’s one of my favorite movies from childhood!! I don’t remember much of the second or third but the first one will always hold a beautiful little space in my heart and I’m so glad it’ll be receiving at least a little bit of love! Can’t wait to watch it! Great vid as always!

It was one of the first movies me and my girlfriend watched together. She chose it because she knew I'd hate it- But we had a blast watching it all.. I was quite confused cause at first it reminded me of Epic, one I hadn't liked too too much.. But I wish I watched more than this. It was quite suave though in the end.. The Bog King has to be the best character for me- I don't know why but to me he looks gross in a good way... And the faeries ears just freaked me a little. My girlfriend loved watching me scream that night aha

"Is that....the guy?!" My favourite scene in the movie 😂

You’ve convinced me to give this movie a shot. I never really heard about it but you make it sound very good.

I have actually watched Strange Magic before, and I definitely agree that it's an enjoyable one! looking back at it now via this video though, I don't think I ever realized just how STUNNING the animation on these characters is. It's not the best in the world, of course, but their anatomy and movement is actually really well thought out for what they are! the fairies look a bit uncanny, but not to an uncomfortable degree, more so in an 'oh these aren't humans with butterfly/moth wings tacked on, they're their OWN creatures', and I love that! the movement of the wings feels natural and smooth, mixing in with the other movements as to expand on who the characters are and just.. add that little extra flare to their personality. Not a favorite, but certainly a movie I can enjoy. Lovely review, glad to see some love given to one that I've never really seen much more than negativity for/dismissal of!

Totally forgot about this one! I watched it as a teen and ended up really liking it, because I love fairies and monster romance. There was a small fandom around this film when it came out and a lot of really talented fan artists.

I am impressed with the animation! I feel like the animators did such a good job.

I looooved this movie!! i was on disney+ a couple of days ago and saw this on there and it brought back so many memories!

I'm glad that someone recognized this movie because I loved it as a kid and this made me happy thank you Ros Mo I appreciate it

I remember watching "Strange Magic" with my mom and I loved it even though some of the songs are awkward they were so awkward it's still a great movie.

As an artist, the style of this movie always intrigued me when I was younger. My grandma loved the movie so much while I rarely knew what was happening because I was giving to the music lmaoo

This is my most rewatched movie. I keep coming back to watch it and i rarely rewatch movies. It’s just such a “guilty pleasure” movie for me

Yeah I agree with all the points u made. It’s not a bad movie like the bee movie or charming, but it’s not mind-blowingly great like Breadwinner. It’s just a random thing to watch when ur bored. I was shocked as hell to find out Alfred Molina was in here, Roland is played by the guy who played Edward in The Princess Switch Also, I’m looking forward to the Arthur review. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that movie but I remember enjoying it

Omg you just unlocked a forgotten memory. I remember I would nag my mom to borrow this from the library since I didnt have my own disc. It was one of my favorite things to watch 😂 I honestly have no idea why I was so fascinated with it

Ive remembered watching this movie a couple of times I do like the plot (ngl I do like the "enemies to lovers" story) but it just feels weird to me maybe it's because I'm not very fond of musicals or it's because of some characters but it just seems awkward sometimes, it's certainly like a "I watched it and next day forgot about it" type of movie. Kinda decent

I remember watching this sooooo long ago and forgot it existed until now. It doesn't make me nostalgic the way re-watching childhood favourites like Mulan would, but it still brings back memories, if only the weirder side of my childhood memories

i dont think ive ever heard about it, but all i have to say that i love the animation of the wings;; its all just so pretty, i do like how shiny the armors are too! i may be a crow though...

Its funny that all of the movies in this series were some of my favorites that I owned as a child 😂 back then my dad would get me every single new animated movie that came out so I got to watch a lot of weird and cool movies, which unfortunately included Anomalisa because he didn’t check age ratings BUT WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT!

I started off hating the movie. But I found myself watching it over and over again, and now it’s one of my favorite animated films of all time

I hate hate HATE musical/jukebox movies but at least this has good visuals and world building

I was 14 when this movie came out and fell in LOVE with it. I sang the songs and acted out scenes a LOT. My brother ended up buying the movie for me as a b-day gift. My favorite part of the movie? “I don’t know. I was expecting…. More?”

I remember about a year ago I accidentally found this movie because the songs from it happened to autoplay onto my RU-vid playlist. I fell in love with the songs and even though it took awhile I was able to find the movie online and watched it with my family and we were all so shocked at how much we enjoyed it. I've rewatched it with my family around 3 times now, because we enjoyed it so much. It's definitely super weird at some parts, but its so pretty and that moment where Bog and Marianne both sing "Strange Magic" just makes the movie. I'm so glad somebody else loved it as well!

The designs of the fairies and even the ones in the dark forest look like they're based on Welsh fairies so I love the design

This movie was my CHILDHOOD! i am SO happy people remember this!

The amount of times my sister and I have watched this movie is unholy, we LOVED it and would sing all the songs everytime. Rewatched it earlier this year and it's animation and character designs still hold out. I totally recomend this movie for a good time.

I watched the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" scene on YT because it was recommended, I was mesmerized and kept replaying it. Fast forward a few weeks, realize its on Disney Plus. Watch the whole thing, feel weird about it but was satisfied. Watched Saberspark's review. Then I was bored and watched it again. And again. And then I just watched it a 4th time right before commenting this. While on my 4th watch, I still found new details in the visuals/story that I hadn't noticed. Like how GOATED Bog King is. (Seriously I love that guy, his voice and interactions with all the characters are just so freaking cool and pleasing to see) Also, I noticed a SUS moment towards the end. When BK and Marianne are arguing about who asked to go outside and fly around together, Roland says "Are you two having a couple's tiff right now?" But before watching the movie a 4th time, I didn't realize Roland MUTTERED UNDER HIS BREATH "That's disgusting, kinda interesting, but disgusting". The way he says "Interesting" has implications. I was slack jawed at the damn screen like "aye who tf slipped that dialogue in" ☠

i remember being completely obsessed with this movie when it came out lol, I listened to the soundtrack so much!

this is my favorite movie because of the music and how they sang it. it’s not only adding popular songs but also making it match the movie almost perfectly

I really loved this movie, I even watched it in theaters! The songs sometimes aren’t great but I enjoy it so much

I just love the fact that it's literally enemies to lovers story

I just kinda stumbled across this video in my suggested feed and I've never seen this movie, but I love how you broke down the development of the romance between the leads. I've never been good at reading character development, so having it broken down like that was really helpful!

Splendid work right there. Strange Magic is strangely good.

Lol me and my family went to this movie when I was little and the songs get stuck in my head every year so I have to watch it

the animation and the detail is so beautifully realistic for how old this movie is!!!!

i watched this as a kid when i was ill for a week and i genuinely believed i had dreamt/imagined it oh my god time to rewatch it

I really love Strange Magic. It's a lot of fun and super weird at points and, aside from Sunny, I genuinely enjoy the characters. It's a bit of a mess in places but in a fun way! Also, Bog's design is sooooo cool

R: cockroach noises M: "Ugh." B: "Is that... THE GUY?" M: "Ugh!"

Ohmygod i just met your channel so random, and i can say that ive never expected to find one of my childhood movies' review?? it was totally erased from my mind and now i feel like i got all my childhood memories back, thank you!!

OMG THIS MOVIE WAS MY CHILDHOOD!!! marianne was (and still is) my favorite character! I think we can all agree that roland sucks 😒 the bogg kind scared the *crap* out of me when i first watched it but now hes one of my favorites! In summary, *I FRICKING LOVE THIS MOVIE* 🤩🤩🤩

Have you whatch "epic" the 2013 movie that I absolutely loved as a child?

I love how you take obscure animated flicks and put your charming spin on them. 😍

i remember watching this as a kid and enjoying it even though i knew it was a bad movie, sorta like sharktale, im surprised to see a review that isnt trashing the hell out of it all these years later all the other reviewers that have spoken about it hated it so much XD

Ros Mo this series has so many things i thought nobody but my family knew about. Thank you for spreading the word ab these underrated movies and shows.

i've been rewatching this movie the past few days

idk if im just a sucker for enemies to lovers but i saw this on cable tv and the only thing i remembered was this trope that they executed so weeeeeeeeeeeell

Woah. I actually can't believe someone finally knows what Strange Magic is. My day has been made.

I loved this movie when I was younger! The colours were lovely, the premise was great and I loved the quirky designs. Cheesy, wholesome and sweet.

Have you watched movie "epic"? That movie have kind of similar concept to Starnge Magic

Honestly one of my favorite movies

Honestly I really enjoy this review everyone hates on it. The plot definitely needs some more refining and the time it takes place in confuses me to this day but I just love it!! I have a love hate relationship because it could have been so much better but it’s not :( the voice acting is INCREDIBLE and the animation and design of scenes are gorgeous!!!!!! i wish people focused more on the good of it!

This movie is actually one of my go to fluffball goofy movies lol. Its light and short with some good jams and I actually think it's hilarious. Bog and his "mistreated" villain solo slaps 😂

Honestly I didn’t really like it when I was younger but it grew on me after rewatching it!

This was my all time favorite movie from my childhood, thank you so much for making the review on it 😭

Finally my fav movie gets recognition. Thank u so much for making this.

idk why this movie just give me happy vibes whenever I rewatch it. Like everytime im feeling down I just go watch this out of everything, its fun and Im glad other people are seeing this movie more as well haha

Yeah I actually really liked this movie. I mostly loved the character development and witty dialogue.

I remember this movie lol I got the DVD thinking that it'd be like Epic. I think I had mixed feelings about it but I think it was just that Dawn scene with the singing 😂

This was the movie that I thought was a dream! It's been 7 years since I watched it and I'm so glad you popped up in my recommending lol

Bro I remember loving this movie when I was eight! I don’t think I returned it to the library tho-

Honestly this looks like a really great movie! I’ve never had the opportunity to watch it, so if I ever do I’ll be sure to take up on the offer. And thank you for yet another wonderful video.

I think Dawn-Sunny relationship should not ended in romantic relationship. It should be love of friends, true friendship or something like that at the end. That would make sense - because you don't drug someone who you truly love. If you love them, you are happy as long as they are happy, you don't make them happy by being with you...

I remember watching this for the first time I think back in first year highschool, mostly this movie was the one that made me like know more about 80's and 90's music. Happy to hear that people still know this movie

I had it on dvd when I was so young, I'm so happy someone decided to review it!!!

It's night here, I would be watching this before sleep 😃

I remember loving this movie, it did in my opinion, have a few plot holes, in regards to world-building but I loved the story nonetheless. Especially the song "Love is Strange" I'll never get tired of it.😁👍

I never watched this movie as a kid. I saw an edit of this movie on RU-vid shorts, i got curious and went to watch this movie!! And I AM OBSESSED, I HAVE WATCHED THIS MOVIE MORE THEN 10 TIMES!! I love the chemistry between the Bog king and Marianne, I kept squealing and kept saying ''Just KISS ALREADY!!!" 🥺🥺🥺🥺 This is such a great movie, The whole idea '' Its not about the outside ,but what's inside'' I am so happy to find someone who talks about this movie!! Ahhhh, I want to rent about this movie!!

I love this movie, I found it a couple years ago on Netflix and I absolutely loved it since! And yes I’m 24 years old😋

this is my favorite movie when I was younger. It's fun to see someone talking about this.

Me and my sister use to watch this when I was 5th or 6th grade. We love this show and the musical. I want to watch this again but I couldn't find anywhere 😢.

One of my favorite movies when I was a kid I would watch this with my mom and she loves how Marianne punched Roland at the ending, it was one of her favorite part

This video made me discover this movie forever ago and i literally love it so much thank you 😭

this is actually one of my childhood shows and I was a bit ashamed because I saw alot of people dissing on it 😭

i love this movie, i used to watch it with my mom all the time and it was out guilty pleasure

I fucking love this movie, when me and my sister found out about it we were obssesed, we rewatched at least 10 time, made fanart, and spent an entire week blasting the soundtrack. Honestly I love this movie and I have stopped caring for what other people say cause this will forever live in my heart

absolutely a guilty pleasure. I see people always hate on the animation and story but I really do love it. I love the songs, the style, the characters. The only thing that "bothers" me is that it takes during one night so it feels rushed. But other than that I've binged watched this before. I think it's about time I give it another go :D

Oh my gosh, I watched this so much growing up. It was one of the few movies I had on my tablet for trips, but I didn't want any others. This carries so much nostalgia for me. Love it

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE STRANGE MAGIC EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT. ITS AMAZING! Honestly Marianne is an amazing character and I relate to her so much AND I ADORE HER WINGS! THEYRE SO FLIPPING PRETTY

Strange Magic was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I would watch i nearly once everyday and I was so happy to see you do a review of it.

this used to be a childhood favorite and i recently watched this while cleaning the house
