“I partnered with EPIC because it has great messaging of being active, the value of teamwork and how anyone can be a hero. It aligns well with my foundation and our mission to help kids be interested in education as much as they are in sports,” said Victor Cruz, “I’m so happy to share this film with the kids and that they could be here with me tonight.”

Synopsis:

“From the creators of ICE AGE and RIO, EPIC tells the story of an ongoing battle between the forces of good, who keep the natural world alive, and the forces of evil, who wish to destroy it. When a teenage girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she teams up with an elite band of warriors and a crew of comical, larger-than-life figures, to save their world…and ours.”

Voices by Pitbull, Beyoncé Knowles, Colin Farrell, Josh Hutcherson and Amanda Seyfried.
