movie: Epic

I haven't been writing up every movie I watch with the kids (the Ice Age franchise: nifty prehistoric megafauna do not make up for the endless gender stereotypes) but I quite liked Epic. Gorgeous animation, plus I'm a sucker for bigs&littles (the Borrowers, the Littles, etc) especially when someone's soulmate turns out to be two orders of magnitude different in body size. (I love a good doomed-by-circumstances romance, especially when there's that sort of lingering wistful thread of hope that maybe someday someone will come up with a solution, or circumstances will be different. Arrietty will do her part for the Borrower population with the wild boy and come back to spend her twilight years in a gentle retirement with Sho, Lalo will finish his dissertation and go traveling with Niesta, etc. I mean, I also love people cheerfully surmounting similar obstacles - a certain kind of porn is actually great for that, see half of Xxxenophile, or fanfic where Logan tells Rogue about his new latex fetish - but anyways.)

I also really liked ( spoiler for gender-related thing )
