I remember Epic. I begged my parents to take me to see it in the theater when I was 14, acted like it was one of the best movies ever, and then never watched it again.

[@spderman123]

that happed with me but with harry potter 1 and was bored outta my mind and my parents looked like they were going thru hell like when is this movie over lol

[@snowpey3751]

Very relatable lol. I watched it, really enjoyed it, then never watched it again

[@DrFunkynstein]

Lol ❤

[@justsomegirlwithoutamustache]

Same here. I watched in in theatres too when I was a preteen and remember liking it, now I completely forgot about it until like last month when I randomly came across a video talking about it

[@senritsujumpsuit6021]

do you hate the series or was that just a then thing @@spderman123

[@gemstone108]

The one thing I remember about this movie is that William Joyce (the guy who wrote the picture book this movie was based on as well as Meet The Robinsons, Rise Of The Guardians, and literally most of gen z’s childhood, look it up) named the main character after his daughter who’d died of a brain tumor some years previous. No matter your opinion of the movie itself, that’s really fucking sweet and you can tell all the projects he’s involved with mean a lot to him.

[@Milky_Way5559]

Epic felt like a fever dream, i remember it now and it’s STILL good.

[@franciscol3510]

I adore the trope of badass old man, ''Beware an old man in a profession where men are known to die young''

[@millo7295]

I hate it Like how is it a profession? No one has like THOUGHT about making it safer?

[@ShadyRK9]

Only thing I remember about Epic is that BEYONCE herself was in this movie as the queen. Who literally dies 10 minutes into the movie and her character is never seen or mentioned again! One of the most pointless celebrity cameos EVER!!

[@gisela_oliveira]

well, they probably couldn't pay her more than 10 min. But the queen is remebered. I have a meme saved in pinterest about how she has such a beayfull character design and only apears for the first 10 min of the movie

[@WobblesandBean]

I'm annoyed that she died by falling. Like, uh hi, she has powers, why didn't she just make a big patch of grass grow to land on, or a giant flower, or a toadstool to use like a cushion, etc? She's this total badaas, but now because of plot contrivance she just forgets she can do that?

[@itsEmmylie6857]

Nooo, she came back as a sorta ghost when the pod opened and chose the new queen at the end.

[@itsEmmylie6857]

​@@WobblesandBean she got hit by one of those bogan's arrows, that's why when her body disappeared the patch of grass she fell on died and an arrow can be seen in the middle

[@gisela_oliveira]

@@WobblesandBean dude, did you watched the movie? She was hit with an arrow, and they are poisonous to the nature, and she is nature

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

_"OW! I HURT MY ELBOW!!!"_ That one Epic scene has been stuck in my head and it's still the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@averageree]

my dad and brother referenced it for YEARS

[@xcusemecoulduplsleave8362]

Definitely 😂🤌🏼

[@TheGlitchyFox]

saaame

[@dinopines9191]

@@averagereeSame !! Me and my parents would always reference it aswell

[@1No_One1]

glad to see it wasnt just me and my cousin. we repeated it non-stop for days lol

[@noxhausy]

I always thought the time dilation was the most interesting idea in this movie; that your size impacts the way you perceive time. And it's not explored enough in the movie sadly.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

I think it was utelised well. You constantly see how the leafmen as SUPER fast and agile, and MK gets those abilities too. It's technically constant cause it affects every action scene. Even non action scenes like when Nod showed MK the deer. But the main characters were all small except the dad, the only time the *contrast* would be relevant, would be when he is in the presence of small people. The only way to bring that in more would be to shoe-horn in the dad more and I think he was shown enough without overstaying his welcome.

[@a.bit.chaotic]

I remember watching this movie with my friend. One of the jokes I loved so much was: "Ugly said what?" then the bad guy looks over and says "what" and the slugs are like "nothingggg." while laughing. I said it to my dad like the following day and it did not end well for me 😭💀

[@reptiliannoizezz.413]

O o f

[@LangkeeLongkee]

9:55 small correction, Ronin knew she was a "stomper" he just didn't know that was her dad. Also, Nod didn't know, but Nod's shirt also looks like a pretty normal shirt so it's reasonable that her clothes didn't give anything away. The more fancy clothing clearly is just uniform and armour type things, but their casual clothes don't look that different from "stomper" clothes. We saw a toad (voiced by Pitbull) wearing a semi-casual suit and button up at the bird races as well.

[@itsyaboijordan415]

I remember I saw this movie while on a plane to Hawaii. It wasn’t an amazing movie but it wasn’t terrible either. But it definitely didn’t deserve to be forgotten.

[@wrenwry]

It’s honestly shocking how few people have ever even heard of this movie

[@ZarloSkald]

I LOVED this movie... Still *EPIC* to this day. Need to rewatch again...

[@Alyrulz421]

Before she gets big again she gets to kiss the guy which simultaneously made me happy and sad because as a kid I lowkey wanted her to stay small so they could be together 😅

[@StevenJones851]

Same here dude

[@CasperVonGhoul]

Literally rewatched this movie last week and was thinking about it so much. It ain’t perfect, but man I have no issues with it.

[@funsizedbeans]

it's comforting to know i'm not the only one who thought of jimmy neutron's dad

[@ajjamsen694]

Ronan knew MK was a stomper cause he was there when she got shrunk, he just wanted to mess with Knob 😆

[@oliviapowell815]

I just remember Beyoncé 😭😭

[@bunniculaistheg.o.a.t]

Epic was and always will be a part of my childhood 😁🥰

[@prince_chavv02]

The three things I remember about this movie: 1. Little Plant People 2. BEYONCE is in the movie for 5 minutes as the Queen 3. That joke about a fly's lifespan

[@Lileewri20]

I remember Epic. I can’t NOT remember Epic. I watch it all the time. I know it’s forgettable, but it’s still my favorite childhood movie. It inspired my vision for photography as well. There was one night that I watched it three times in a row. I really don’t know why

[@brendan6555]

The largest memory I have is seeing this in the movie theater and my dad getting mad at me cause he had to take me to the bathroom near the end of the movie and he didn't wanna miss it.

[@SharpDesign]

Lately, when i was hearing Epic the musical, i thought it was about this, but I wasn't even close.

[@LunamFlore]

Same LOL

[@gracedoesdoodles]

I thought i was the only one 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rosykindbunny1313]

I remember going to see it in the theaters with my dad. The entire theater was empty except for us, so we could be as loud as we wanted. It was awesome.

[@theflickchick9850]

"You guys remember Delgo?" *Sabrespark flashbacks*

[@emuanon34]

I’m still waiting for the FNAF movie fans to discover this movie. Also it took me a decade to realize who the protagonist was supposed to be based on and I wish she survived her battle with cancer and saw how much her father’s work means to so many people.

[@angelspiritfoxx]

Im a fnaf fan and i remember watching epic when it released. Epic is one of my favorites

[@jordanfelt5978]

What the fuck does FNAF have to do with this? This feels like the retarded comment of a 12 year old.

[@PhineasKSliderVT]

Depending on your religion, she just might have. ❤

[@Nebulousart]

I remember loving this movie and strange magic so much because of the fairies/tiny people/hidden world thing, but i honestly hadn’t thought of them that much until your movies. It’s actually amazing how much those movies affected certain parts of my taste

[@Sh12pen]

I liked the movie for the same things!

[@yodragon2003]

I remember I used to have a crush on the flynn rider-looking type of guy way back when I first saw this movie

[@EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-zk6tj]

There was this one time, back in high school where I suddenly remembered the movie, but didn't remember what it was called. And so, Me and my friend went down an internet rabbit hole of looking for it. We just searched various versions of "movie where the main character shrinks and becomes part of this small world and the queen dies and the dad had a bat noise that scared away the enemies" and eventually we found it but I didn't believe that it was called Epic, but it was. And that was the only time, Epic the movie has held any significance in my life.

[@Manticorn]

There was an Epic tie-in with Long John Silver's. At my local location, the signage stayed on the cashier counter for, like, 7 years. It was impressive.

[@funnymarcman]

It was a day like any other. I was playing Bin Weevils like all kids my age did. There was a Croods event going on. My mother came to me and said we were going to watch something in the cinema. I was excited to see Croods because my favourite game of all time collabed with a movie, and then we saw this. I've never felt more disappointed in my life, and I think back on that moment. I was never the same after epic. I was never the same.

[@Sh12pen]

Bro had a villain origin story from this 💀

[@Pheelleep]

Funny story, When this came out on dvd, my parents and I went to my old elementary school for my sister’s dance recital, there were flyers on the door saying “Come see the newest Disney movie, Epic, for school movie night on friday” Middleschool me cringed so hard that they called a bluesky film a “disney movie” Fastforward to the day Disney officially bought Fox, I laughed so hard at the realization that Epic was now technically a disney movie and joke that the old staff elementary school predicted Disney buying Fox

[@LittleMissLounge]

It's so interesting how a movie with a very well-known cast-Beyoncé is the Queen, FFS-can fall into the pop culture memory hole like this. I don't remember Epic at all. It seems like the folks who do remember it have fond memories, so that's nice.

[@GrimmBones]

Now I really want him to cover Arthur and the Minimoys Trilogy! Those were such banger movies to me as a kid, I loved them so much! (especially the first one, at least, it was so fun and full of wonder)

[@celestialcircledance]

I'll add to the chorus of epicenes . I am a sucker for a good fairy story and this one did not disappoint !

[@inexena]

I have been struggling with an artblock for over a month now, but this guy has such a drawable face that I sat my ass down and drew him a couple of times, and now I not longer have an art block.

[@Sh12pen]

​@@ser777XDbruh

[@fangal12]

I literally remember one line from Epic that I quote quite often: Dad in the movie says in slow-mo "Ahhh, mmmmyyyy eellboooow!!!"

[@gracedoesdoodles]

Same me and my sister used to quote it all the time lol

[@ice-lb6my]

i remember i liked Epic. a couple other movies i watched as a kid, that i think could make for an interesting little dive is "Help! I´m a Fish" and especially "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" :)

[@Ifnobodyhurtsyoubesilent]

Legend of the guardians: owls of Ga'hoole was my absolute favourite. So beautiful, so moving, mad big cast. Just all around spectacular.

[@nothinghappens9811]

I saw Epic ages ago when I was sick and I thought it was a dream. I couldn't remember the title of it and every time I described what I could remember, people thought I was talking about a different movie.

[@jordanfelt5978]

I actually quite like this movie. It was so creative and visually interesting. Like the idea of combining tiny people who ride hummingbirds with the fighting style of a samurai, and where the bad guys have this crazy dark destruction magic is fucking COOL. Or I guess you could say it was *Epic.*

[@ramajyello]

Throughout this entire video, I could feel a distant sense of sadness. I watched this when I was little and honestly didn't remember it when you mentioned it in your last video. It has brought back a nostalgic memory that is beautiful on it's own, but surrounded by pain.

[@saddlerrye6725]

We watched this movie as a family, and I can remember that all of us were pretty pleasantly surprised that it was better than we'd anticipated. There's some real character depth in it that elevates the pretty predictable (but still solid) storyline from "eh, it was fine" to "wow, this was actually quite good".

[@wolfey1579]

I remember watching this movie, Granted I didn't watch it until years after it came out on DVD, cuz I'd never heard of it before, but when I did see it, I loved it, and still do whenever I rewatch it on occasion

[@machaiahlillard8156]

I still love Epic and have remembered it this entire time!

[@oscaruncomfortable]

Unironially loved the cast, even the slug, he was my fav as a kid for his pettiness, but now MK has genuinly really grown on me as a protagonist

[@Ponderpine]

I still watch this movie every so often. The concepts and world design stuck in my head, the story itself was okay. All things considered, not a bad plot overall. If this concept with the more unique little people world design was given a better plot, I imagine it would be really cool. Like I imagine a Studio Ghibli style movie like Ariety, except all this movies concepts. Wonder if that's what we would've gotten if Disney hadn't cancelled King of the Elves back in the day.

[@TheRickaboo]

This movie came outta nowhere and I bought it on a whim and its one of my favorite animated films. So glad you enjoyed it too!!

[@MidnightDubstep]

I remember this movie because of the promotion was using the song "I love it" by Icona Pop and replaced the lyrics "I don't care, I love it" to "This is Epic, I love it" it was annoying but also kinda smart

[@jakieadams2303]

Literally just joked about hurting my elbow thinking about this movie yesterday lol

[@biyatrism]

The main villain reminds me of Pitch Black, and I just now only realized that his death was also similar to Pitch Black

[@fatefulthreads]

The first time I saw this movie I was zonked on pain meds post surgery, it was a uniquely epic experience.

[@britknee5872]

I still quote "i hurt my elbow" to this day

[@thesardonicpig3835]

I enjoyed this movie a lot! But something I’ve never heard anyone say before is, it’s a pretty blatant ripoff of the Spiderwick Chronicles. Young person moves into rickety gothic mansion in the forest, belonging to a middle-aged eccentric with a funny metal eyepiece that allows him to see faeries. The folkloric creature designs are also heavily inspired by the Spiderwick Chronicles, with magical creatures hidden in plain sight, disguised as flowers etc., and in both stories there’s a “scientific” aspect to the creature lore, with the eccentric scientist documenting his findings on faeries. And in both stories the antagonist (Mandrake in Epic, Mulgarath in Spiderwick) comes from the faerie world. I’m not condemning the movie for doing this, as I said I really enjoyed it. The parallels may even be coincidental, but it would be a pretty amazing coincidence.

[@ErisEngel]

I got this in a bargain bin, or was given to me, or what left at my house - honestly, I don't know how. One day, though, I watched it, and was so surprised at how good it actually was. Good spin on tropes, interesting people, pretty good art direction. I was surprised I had never heard of it before.

[@lukatv9861]

12:42 Pig: explaining the plot Also Pig: lemme make myself pretty

I remember seeing ads and toys for this movie, but have never actually seen the actual movie

I begged my grandma for this movie when it came out cause i kept seeing commercials for it. I watched it like twice, it was... A movie. I remember liking it vaguely lmfao.

I actually watched it in theaters when I was a kid and got it on DVD. I thought it was really good.

[@JdsSlushiee]

I loved this movie as a kid. I watched it for the first time with my dad

I watched Epic cause Christoph Waltz was the villain. Really liked his character.

[@minespatch]

I also enjoyed Back to Gaia(Meet the Snurks), saw it in France dubbed in French, got it in English later. Shame about both films.

[@justanothermortal1373]

Almost every kid I knew was so obsessed with this movie back then.

[@Sigismund697]

I do I do because there's a supermarket near my house that attempted to sell a bunch of shampoo bottles with Epic branding I think they are still there I recently rewatched the movie and man it was even more boring that I remember pretty much nothing about it works, the MC's personal life is a mess, the love interest is super bland just as their love story and the most interesting character ends up being the dad in a sad drama way which is not what I expect from a movie called Epic

[@Plexxis_SugarPom]

My guy, you didnt even TOUCH on hobo catipillar prophet

[@daryanthao1032]

I had the movie disc for epic and I actually liked it a lot but that was when I was a little kid and my favorite part were there swords.

[@timbomb374]

All I remember about it is being confused by the time dilation stuff. Wasn't it explained that the tiny people see time slower? But then, at some point, one of them is talking to a person on a magic phone and there's no communication issues?

[@ashlikescash]

I WAS JUST TALKING AB THIS MOVIE OF COURSE I REMEMBER! IT IS SOOO GOOD!!! so happy you made a video on it

[@rosalee9691]

I loved this movie as a kid I like it so much that not only that I see in theaters but then when it came out of DVD back to my parents to buy until they did and then I sat there and I watched it like every other weekend for like a year straight and then I completely forgot about it being a thing

I went to the theatres with my best friend to see that movie. I’ll be honest the movie was anything but epic.

[@MillyKKitty]

I remembered the part with the father being better than it was. A rewatch gave the realization that they aren't going to let his arc fester.

[@SoulsBourne101]

This movie has always been on the backburner of my mind since I watched it. It left an impression, but i never felt like rewatching it for some reason

Also, Ronin has perfect form with his katana. I’ve learned how to use one and he moves it perfectly, sheathes and unsheathes it correctly, and just everything.

I watched epic of my own volition in like... 2016 or 17 ish when i had netflix........ I remember watching it... and that the dad is a nutjob, who isn't actually a nutjob... with a daughter that thinks he's weird... and there's like a seed or some shit that dictates royalty or some shit... but that's about it. I just remember it existing. Which means it was probably just an "ok" movie to me.
