Watch: ‘Epic’ movie trailer from the makers of ‘Ice Age’

From Blue Sky Studios, the creators of ‘Ice Age’ and ‘Rio’, comes a new animated film titled ‘Epic’ featuring the voices of Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, BeyoncĂ© Knowles, Colin Farrell, Aziz Ansari, Jason Sudeikis, Johnny Knoxville, and Steven Tyler.

A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world — and ours.

Queen Beyonce

Move over Elizabeth, there’s a new queen in town. Beyonce is back and has just been chosen to be the voice of Queen Tara in an upcoming 3-D flick from the makers of “Ice Age” and “Rio.” Twentieth Century Fox has just announed the new CGI-animated film “Epic,” also starring Colin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried, Aziz Ansari, Pitbull, Steven Tyler, and more.

The film tells the tale of a teenage girl that enters a secret world in which she must save, all while encountering interesting characters along the way. This is the first reported role that Beyonce has confirmed since she left the entertainment world on maternity leave.

The movie is scheduled to be released May 24, 2013, which means that Blue Ivy will probably have to wait a few years before she can see her mommy as Queen on the big screen.
