"You have to convey that all through your voice, and it is hard!" Amanda Seyfried said.

"At beginning you didn't have any visual images, but then as it processes, they got more into the process as well. The animators and Chris Wedge would give you more visual of scenes where you can match your voice to." Colin Farrel said.

While the cast was voicing their characters, Director Chris Wedge spent more time with animators and visual effects artists at Blue Sky Studios, bringing the world of Epic alive.

The movie is in 3D and it has lots of action scenes, what were the technical challenges of making this film?

"I wanted it to look really natural and that is something really difficult to make computers to do. The leaves, grass, moss, bark. It was the sheer volume of detail that was the hardest thing to do." Chris Wedge said.

Focusing on the detail, director Wedge seasons the tale with two captivatingly funny creatures voiced by comedian Aziz Ansari and Chris O'Dowd. The two actors continued the fun during the interview.

Mub and Grub definitely made me laugh a lot during the movie.

"Great. What's fun about playing this kind of character is that you don't get to play those animals in a normal life." Aziz Ansari and Chiris O′Dowd said.

I go high! I go high!

That's what he does with his eyes.

With those funny and brave tiny creatures saving the forest, Epic explores a theme that is larger than life, and director Wedge told us he wants the film to capture more hearts.
