Family Weekender Guide: Things to Do on May 24 to 26

Catch a monumental 3D animation.

Based on William Joyce’s “The Leafmen and the Brave Good Bugs”, director Chris Wedge’s (Ice Age) latest action-adventure animation “Epic” follows a teenager who has been magically transported into an unknown deep forest, revealing a hidden world unlike any other. It tells the story of a battle raging all around us between the forces of good, who protect nature, and the forces of evil, who wish to see it destroyed.

Voicing the characters of Epic are Amanda Seyfried (as the teenager Mary Katherine, or MK), Josh Hutcherson (as Nod), Beyonce Knowles (as Queen Tara), Colin Farell (as Ronin), Jason Sudeckis (as Mary’s dad), Pitbull, Johnny Knoxville, Steven Tyler and Blake Anderson.

Epic opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, May 24 and is brought to you by Blus Sky Studios/20th Century Fox.
