Meanwhile, the king of the bog creatures has tried to destroy the primrose flowers used to make love potions and captured the. The future queen of the fairies becomes disillusioned with love when she catches her fiance cheating on her. The music selections in the film are a good mix of love songs and they made me want to get up and dance. A land of fairies and a land of bog creatures battle over love in Strange Magic. There a good amount of music in the film - 25 songs to be exact - and each song helps move the storyline along. You are going to want to get up and dance. The message in Strange Magic is that everyone deserves to be loved and that being different is not weird, it’s special.Ĥ. Strange Magic comes from the mind of George Lucas and with his new movie you can go on an adventure and see how his characters fight for what they love. The message of the movie will touch your heart. I couldn’t decide which one of them stole the show, Kristin Chenoweth, Elijah Kelley, Evan Rachel Wood or Alan Cumming!ģ. There is a wide variety of songs in the film and each actor brought their own signature sound to the songs. I was in awe of the caliber of musical performances in the film.

It’s a madcap musical with a princess who has sworn off love, a vulnerable villain, a slightly nutty Sugar Plum Fairy, a tenacious and big-hearted elf, a mischievous imp, and a knight who is no Prince Charming. In Strange Magic the fairies and elves from Fairy Kingdom and the curious creatures of the Dark Forest collide in an epic fairy tale adventure about love like no other.

Dawn’s expenses were paid for the trip but no other compensation was paid and all opinions are Dawn’s. Dreamy, mystical, and indeed magical, "Strange Magic" reaches out to the fringes of human consciousness and human experience, light and dark, indeed to the very genetic memory of humanity itself.Disney sent 5 Minutes for Mom contributing blogger Dawn Cullo to San Francisco to attend the Strange Magic press event. It reached #14 on both Billboard and Cash Box on May 8, 1976, but charted only at #38 in the UK and #42 in Canada.ĮLO makes a very brief appearance on this video, as do two other 1976 recording stars you may well recognize. I can find no reason for this either online. I find this strange because ELO is a British band, one would think things would have been the other way around. The single was released to radio stations in February 1976, but not in the UK until June. two months before the UK, which I find odd. That is probably my favorite ELO song of all time, but "Strange Magic" comes in a close second or third (I also love "Sweet Talking Woman").įace The Music was released in the United States in September 1975. Sadly, it will probably never be seen in the US. In actuality "I Can't Get It Out Of My Head" is my first and was done back in 2014 at the same time I did "Sara" by Fleetwood Mac, but has been blocked in the United States all this time due to some live ELO concert footage. To many US viewers this will appear to be my first ELO video. Or click the artist name tag above to go to the artist page.

My Face The Music album is just that, vinyl. I wish I could have included the orchestral introduction as well, but I took this from ELO's greatest hits CD. "Evil Woman" was already a big hit (and still a big hit with me), but this track had that special "magic" the previous hit did not quite possess. I went out and bought Face The Music (1975) at the same time this song was first getting Top 40 air play in February. I truly love this song and the time it was popular in the US: February-May 1976.
