Article
Epic (stylized in all-lowercase) is a 2013 American animated fantasy action adventure film directed by Chris Wedge, loosely based on William Joyce's 1996 children's book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs. The film stars the voices of Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried, Christoph Waltz, Aziz Ansari, Chris O'Dowd, Pitbull, Jason Sudeikis, Steven Tyler, and Beyoncé Knowles. The story sees a teenager named M.K. get shrunk and involved with a tiny woodland kingdom—mainly with the soldiers called the Leafmen—in their war against an evil army aiming to spread rot across the land.
Epic was internationally released on May 16, 2013, and in the United States on May 24, by 20th Century Fox, following in its premiere on Ziegfeld Theatre on May 18. The film received generally mixed reviews from critics and was a moderate box-office success, grossing $268 million against its $93 million budget.
