A blog dedicated to the animated movie that will hopefully become a cult classic/vindicated by history, Strange Magic

I know I ain’t too active here but that’s mostly because I don’t see content cross my dash like back in the heyday. But I’m still around, and I still stan this movie so hard.

Michael After Midnight: Strange Magic

There are a lot of films that deserve better than what they got, films that didn’t get the respect they deserved from critics and audiences. In all my years of reviewing movies and watching movies, there’s one thing I know for sure: Strange Magic is at the top of that particular pile. Critics eviscerated the film, most of them just using it as an excuse to attack George Lucas, because mainstream critics are still mad about the Star Wars prequels, I guess. And as far as I know, very few animation reviewers even talked about it, and the ones that did mocked it as well. It doesn’t help that Disney barely advertised this film and kind of just ignored its existence, not even slapping their own name on it and instead releasing it under Touchstone. But despite all of that, the film earned a loyal, devoted cult following that to this day sings the movie’s praises… and if you keep an open mind, it’s not hard to see why.

This is a simple tale, a fantasy jukebox musical with contemporary songs and classics (the title track is an ELO song from the 70s, so there’s no way the film was trying to pander). Some might even call the story cliché, what with its hurricane of tropes and its rather standard story structure – even I called it cliché in my original review of the film – but I feel as though when it comes to a jukebox musical, you’re really here for the songs more than the story. But even with that said, the story here isn’t so bad; it’s more just a cozy little fairy tale you’ve heard before, just with a lot more pop songs in it.

When a man-hating radfem starts liking and reblogging all your Strange Magic posts

[marianneisbestdisneyprincess]

Stuff is literally me, always getting someone else to do what I need doing.

[strangemotherfuckingmagic]

It's true, I can confirm

[marianneisbestdisneyprincess]

The best part about watching Strange Magic again? Falling in love with Bog King and Butterfly Bog all over again.

The funny thing is, by the page’s own guidelines, the entire entry is ineligible. It has to be critically panned and have little to no fanbase, which isn’t true either way; the soundtrack was praised even by people who hated the film and it’s also one of the reasons the fanbase loves it. The whole entry could justifiably be deleted with this explanation as the reason.
