An animated fantasy adventure, based on William Joyce's The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs. The film features a teenage girl, Mary Katherine (MK to her friends), who finds herself thrown into the world of the Leaf Men, protectors of the forest, and a battle "between the forces of good and evil". It is produced by Blue Sky Studios, directed by Chris Wedge and released in 2013.The first trailer can be viewed here, and the second here.Not to be confused with the identically titled 1984 Australian animated film, and has no relation to Epic Games. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology: Mandrake and his son are humanoid and have at least two sets of teeth, but were apparently born as larvae. | |

Anyone Can Die: The Leafmen's queen dies, Mandrake's son dies, a Boggan is seen falling down onto a car windshield and is just wiped off like a swatted fly, and who knows how many more sacrificed their lives in this battle. | |

Instant Expert: Averted and played straight. MK learns that she can fall great distances and leap super high, but throughout the film, never gets the hang of it, and pretty much every time she uses it, she misses her target. However, she learned to fly birds without needing any instructions (which could be handwaved since the birds are shown to be smart and well-trained and might only need basic guidance). | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Epic (2013) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Mub and Grub are portrayed with teeth on the inside of the mouth and a human-like tongue. Mollusk jaws are nothing like that at all. Instead, a tongue-like organ called the radula (which is covered with teeth) is used to cut food. Putting their teeth on their tongue would be more realistic. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The bat sounds MK's father keeps on his iPod are used to lead Mandrake's bats away from Moonhaven, preventing the Boggans from blocking out the light, and ensuring the pod blooms properly. The pinned bug armor that's on display. MK notices it in passing when she first arrives at the house, and when the time comes to infiltrate Boggan territory, she knows exactly where to get their disguises. | |

Disappeared Dad | |
Epic (2013) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: Played with Professor Bomba whose single-minded focus on finding the Leafmen caused his wife to leave with his child. When she returns at age 17, he does a terrible job of bonding with her because he has been alone so long with only a dog for company that he can't shake free of his obsession. When he finally does, it's when she's realized he was right all along. Nod's father is mentioned, but never shown. It's strongly implied (if not said straight) by Ronin, who was his friend, that he died in Wrathwood. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness: The Boggans are ugly, and the animals they use as mounts (bats, grackles, and a star-nosed mole) are ones that are generally disliked by humans (or are known be at least Ugly Cute). Whereas the Leafmen are all good-looking, and ride hummingbirds. Averted with the mouse, who is adorable, but perceives the smaller leafmen as food. It's basically a scaled-down bear. | |

Mauve Shirt: Finn, Ronin's second in command with the beard, is the most identifiable Leafman outside of the main cast who leads the troops and has a few lines of dialogue. Though his living status is unknown. On the Villain's side there's the fat and skinny pair of guards who chase the heroes later in the film and can usually be found fighting with one another. | |

Hollywood New England | |
Epic (2013) / int_3af4d3a3 | comment |
Hollywood New England: The film takes place in the deciduous forests of either Connecticut or New York, Blue Sky Studios' current and former base of headquarters. During the end credits, we see memorabilia from both those states, as well as a few others in New England, like Vermont. The cab from the beginning has a New York license plate and the college MK's dad works at is in NY as well, so there's a strong likelihood that it's New York. Additionally, MK's dad drops a mug labeled "White Plains Science Fair," and White Plains is in New York. Though there is a strong likelihood of Connecticut as well, seeing as MK's dad has a driver's license from Danbury, CT. | |

Impressed by the Civilian: while fleeing a Boggin attack, Queen Tara is impressed by a young girl who is able to subdue an attacking Boggin with a branch. So much so, that by the end of the movie, she makes the girl the heir to her title and powers. | |

Broken Aesop | |
Epic (2013) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Bomba destroyed his marriage, his family, and his career with his obsession. He repeatedly runs off in the middle of conversations with his estranged, grieving daughter to check on his sensors. His attempts to reconnect with her go no further than trying to get her involved with his work. His theories were correct, but MK telling him that he was right "about everything" makes it sound like it was her and her mother's fault for not trusting him enough. Bomba is rewarded with proof of his theory and a repaired relationship with his daughter without changing anything about his behavior, much less apologize. | |

Killer Rabbit: The Leafmen treat ordinary mice like we would treat bears. Other small creatures like chipmunks are also terrifying, apparently.

Just One Second Out of Sync: The tiny inhabitants of the forest are hard for humans to see because they exist in a state where they naturally move faster than larger animals, humans included. Seen from MK's perspective, Queen Tara is vibrating so fast that she leaves after-images even when she's not actually moving. Which, according to the theory of relativity, could happen. | |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Tara's final words to MK, which she couldn't hear at the time, are seen later in a mystical "flashback" created by one of Nim Galuu's barkscrolls. Tara starts off by saying (paraphrased) "If you're hearing this, it means you made it to Nim's," and anticipates what MK's reaction will be. | |

Faux Affably Evil: The more polite Mandrake's words are, the more gleefully malicious he sounds and acts. He bursts up through the floorboards at Nim's, tears up the place, and then politely asks if anyone has seen the pod. | |

He holds it up to the crowd that's gathered at his tree, and tells each and every one of them exactly how important it is. And then, he sends out his fireflies to broadcast not just to the people he want's to get in touch with, but to the entire forest, that the MacGuffin is right here, and poorly guarded, could you please send reinforcements? Not to mention half of the team charged with guarding it not keeping a very close eye on it while they're in the tree, and leaving it to the slugs. | |

Square-Cube Law | |
Epic (2013) / int_d4055b8b | comment |
Square-Cube Law: A rare example of the small-scale side of the coin; this is why Leafmen and Boggans are so strong and can jump so far, and why this automatically applies to MK when she gets shrunk. Of course they don't explain this to the audience at all. For those familiar with the law it's a refreshing accuracy, but one wonders how many kids, who don't even know what a cube is, were left wondering why the good guys seemed so indifferent about throwing people off of birds to their apparent death all the time. Until Mandrake fell a long distance and showed it was a slight inconvenience rather than the fatal drop it would've been at human sizes. | |

Evil Only Has to Win Once: It's not made explicit, but it's pretty clear if Mandrake stops a new queen from being crowned, the forest wouldn't be able to come back from him rotting it. | |

Epic (2013) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Ronin and Tara have a strong friendship implied to go back to childhood. They care very deeply about each other, and Tara can be very flirtatious with Ronin. Ronin seems to return her feelings, but takes his duty and their positions in life too seriously to act on it. He takes Tara's death very hard, and carries it with him for the rest of the movie. | |

Nice Mice | |
Epic (2013) / int_df7154e0 | comment |
Nice Mice: Drastically subverted when MK's belief in this trope, despite Nod's warnings, nearly gets her killed. When you're the size of a small insect, an ordinary field mouse is a predator, not something to squee over. Wordof God says it was a grasshopper mouse, which happens to be a carnivore. | |
