SOON!
Debuting
on Blu-ray & DVD August 20
We typically think of heroes as being large, strong, and
courageous. After going through a change in size these heroes may be miniature,
but they are certainly brave! Here’s a look at our favorite characters from
movie history that have been transformed into smaller versions of themselves.
From the creators of Ice
Age, the year’s funniest, most exhilarating animated adventure comes home as EPIC debuts on Blu-ray Combo
Pack, Deluxe Edition Blu-ray, and DVD this August 20 from Twentieth Century Fox
Home Entertainment. Directed by Chris Wedge (The Ice Age Franchise) and featuring an amazing voice cast including
Colin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried, Christoph Waltz, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler,
Pitbull, and Beyoncé, the blockbuster film comes home just in time to help
families become one with nature and end the summer in Epic style.
Mary Katherine- Epic
When
Mary Katherine is transformed into a miniature version of herself and
introduced to the magical world of Moonhaven she thinks that it is all a dream.
Proving that she is much tougher than she looks, MK teams up with the Leafman
warriors to help defend against the forces of evil. By the end of her epic journey, MK has not
only saved Moonhaven, but our world as well!
Nick & Amy Szalinski- Honey,
I Shrunk the Kids
(my kids favorite)
Amy
and Nick Szalinski were left to fend for themselves after their father,
inventor Wayne Szalinski, accidentally shrank them down to microscopic size.
The kids found themselves in a lot of sticky situations. They were attacked by
a scorpion twice their size, picked up by a bee, and almost eaten by their own
dad in a bowl of cheerios! Supporting each other, Nick and Amy brave the
oversized elements until Wayne can get them back to normal size.
Alice- Alice in Wonderland
Alice
didn’t know what she was getting herself into when she followed the White Rabbit
and fell down the hole, but her adventure is one that we will always remember. Finding
herself in a strange place with talking animals and unusual tea parties, our
heroine makes new friends and has new experiences. Even though she was just a
young girl, Alice bravely fought against the Jabberwocky and saved Underworld
from the reign of the Red Queen.
Wayne Szalinski- Honey,
We Shrunk Ourselves
When the
adults were accidentally hit by the ray of the shrinking machine, the kids
mistakenly thought they were home alone. Wayne and Gordon try to get the kids’
attention by changing the wiring of some speakers to use as a microphone.
Throughout the film, Wayne proves himself as a hero by fighting off a large
cockroach and riding inside a bubble. In the end, Wayne grows both physically
and emotionally when he becomes a better father to his son Adam.
Zak- FernGully: The Last Rainforest
Although Zak
starts out as one of the bad guys, his change of heart gets him a spot on our
list of favorite miniature heroes. Through his relationship with Crysta, Zak
learns how important the natural world is.
In the end, Zak helps save FernGully by stopping Hexxus and the other
lumberjacks from taking down all of the trees and destroying the forest
forever.
I think they forgot Arthur from Arthur and the Invisibles. We love that movie!
I haven't thought of Honey I Shrunk The Kids in years and I love that movie. I love all of the ones that you have mentioned here. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes!
