Fantasy Genre
Fantasy films are films with unique themes, it usually includes magic, supernatural events, make-believe creatures, or exotic fantasy worlds. Fantasy films exceed the bounds of human possibility and physical laws. Fantasy films are often in the background of the imagination, dreams, or hallucinations of a character or within the vision of the storyteller. Fantasy films often cosist of many factors like magic, myth, wonder, escapism, and the extraordinary. They may appeal to both children and adults, depending on the film film.
The boundaries of the fantasy literary genre are not well-defined, and the same is therefore true for the film genre as well. Categorizing a movie as fantasy may then require an examination of the themes, narrative approach and other structural factors of the film.
Films that depent on magic primarily as a gimmick, e.g. the 1976 film Freaky Friday and its 2003 re-make in which a mother and daughter magically switch bodies, may technically qualify as fantasy but are nevertheless not generally considered part of the genre.
