Welcome to Looking at Lucas Home with Brian Gunn, the podcast with a different perspective on the world of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and all of the other entities that George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, Dave Faloney, and John Favreau, as well as the rest of the team at

Lucasome have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill and my co-host Brian Gunn and I are recording this week's show on January 27th,

2024.

And before we get started here, Brian, you wanted to talk about something that Drew Taylor and I talked about on the most recent fine tuning.

What is it, the Film Film animation film from 2015 strange magic right?

Yeah the 10th anniversary. I actually saw that in the movie theater and one of the

reasons I did want to see it was because it was done by ILM who did an amazing job with Rango and there weren't that many Jupak films at the time.

I mean after this one then the trolls came out and then there was a you know Romeo no I think Romeo no meo was before it

but I went to see it and for the most part it's 90% to me it's got everything in it the

performances between Evan Rachel Wood and what's his name, the play Bogg.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, well, they were perfect and their voices are great and her voice is amazing and during the song Strange

Alan Cummings and during the song Strange Magic I got emotional because it was so well done and it's like one of those

films that I could see what Disney saw they they saw it they didn't know what to do with it, so they did the same thing they did with

a night member for Christmas, they threw it at Touchstone, and then they said, just, let's put it out there, and I'm hoping it's going to get a lot of views and a lot of eyeballs being on Disney Plus because it really the animation of course is actually there are some things in the

and it's ahead of its time it was ahead of its time with the jutebox it was a heaven's time

with some of the animation.

And it's just one of those things that,

give it a chance, you know, give it a show.

It's a little intense for kids under what 12 maybe but Evan Rachel Wood is just

She's amazing and her voice is just better than any Disney princess they've been putting out there for the last couple

years.
