And as it turns out, Lucasfilms’ new animated feature, Strange Magic, is all about the flutter. Of fairy wings. Based on _A Midsummer Night’s Dream_–though, from the looks of it, more Shrek than Shakespeare-_\-Strange Magic_ features lots and lots of singing (“Wild Thing,” “Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch”) by pixies, creepy creatures and a feisty lady fighting for her sister (no, not Elsa or Anna). All-stars Alan Cumming, Maya Rudolph, Evan Rachel Wood and Alfred Molina have all lent their voices to the project. _Strange Magic_ hits theaters Jan. 23, 2015. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3605049/strange-magic-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3605049/strange-magic-trailer/"},"headline":"See the New Trailer for Lucasfilms Kids Movie Strange Magic","datePublished":"2014-11-25T16:46:04.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:21:59.732Z","description":"The movie is full of fairies and animals pretending to eat each other","url":"https://time.com/3605049/strange-magic-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Shakespeare","george lucas"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3605049/strange-magic-trailer/","name":"See the New Trailer for Lucasfilms Kids Movie Strange Magic"}}]}] ```
