About This Movie

Epic (1985) is one of those animated films that kinda slips under the radar. The story unfolds during a catastrophic flood, which sets the stage for these two kids being raised by dingoes. It's got this wild blend of adventure and a touch of mysticism. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which adds to its charm, I guess. The animation itself has a distinct style, fairly different from mainstream stuff at that period. What stands out is the exploration of nature and the concept of finding one's purpose – those 'secrets of life' are more than just a plot device. The voice performances carry a certain warmth, making you connect with the characters, even if the overall execution has its quirks.
