I don’t have much praise to hand out to Knowles, Hutchison, Seyfried, or really even Farrell, but I don’t have anything to fault them for, either. She requests this in a truly dull fashion. He’s a no-nonsense character, and Queen Tara desperately wants to see his smiling face. Nod (Josh Hutcherson) is a misfit Leaf Man who needs to learn about teamwork, and the primary Leaf Man, Ronin (Colin Farrell), is precisely the man to teach it to him. He has some memorable lines, but he’s more underwhelming than anyone could believe a character portrayed by Christoph Waltz could ever be.

Today is the day Queen Tara must pick the pod to be the heir to her throne. It’s a challenge of good and evil of the Leaf Men, who, by protecting the queen (voiced by Beyoncé Knowles), preserve the life of the forest but the evil Boggans threaten them with powers of decay. But it’s a little more complex than that. Her father is an eccentric character, as he is convinced there are tiny people living out in the woods. (voiced by Amanda Seyfried), who is forced to re-locate to the home of her estranged father, Professor Bomba (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), after her mother’s death. Chris Wedge, co-Director of that franchise, goes solo with “ Epic,” the third animated movie of 2013 (after “Escape from Planet Earth” and “The Croods”).
