Soundtrack from upcoming George Lucas film ‘Strange Magic’ will be released Feb. 17, 2015
Music from the upcoming George Lucas film “Strange Magic”will be available Feb. 17, 2015, a couple of weeks after the movie is released.
The animated musical film is a different type of fairy tale 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.
“I love telling stories with music. ‘Strange Magic’ may take a different approach than we did with ‘American Graffiti,’ “Lucas said in a news release, “but I had just as much fun. I love all kinds of music from classical to ethnic to contemporary. Since childhood, music has been an important part of my life.”
