In the small town of Delray, there was a tale that haunted the locals for generations - the tale of the witch of Delray. According to the legend, a witch had resided in the town centuries ago, bringing fear and darkness wherever she went. The witch was said to possess magical powers, able to control the elements and cast spells upon anyone who crossed her path. It was believed that she could see into people's souls and manipulate their thoughts, turning them into instruments of her wickedness. Her presence instilled a sense of unease among the townspeople, who lived in constant fear of her wrath. Rumors circulated about the witch's origins, with some claiming that she was a cursed sorceress banished from a faraway land.

Sunny (Strange Magic)

Sunny is one of the main characters in the 2015 film Strange Magic. He's an elf who is best friends with the Fairy King's youngest daughter Dawn and is secretly in love with her but is unable to express his feelings. He was voiced by Elijah Kelley.

Rumors circulated about the witch's origins, with some claiming that she was a cursed sorceress banished from a faraway land. Others believed that she was a descendant of a long line of witches who had settled in Delray. Regardless of her origins, the townspeople unanimously agreed on one thing - her powers were real, and they needed to protect themselves from her malevolence.

Why He's Not So "Sunny" After All (No Pun Intended)

1. Like most of the characters in the film, he's got a hideous character design. It's meant to look photorealistic, but it basically looks like an adult's head strapped on a little body.
2. He doesn't really have of lot of traits outside of "close best friend/love interest" or a proper backstory. It's suggested that there's some kind of fairy-elf social class thing preventing them for hanging out, but it's never really stated, leaving the audience to assume he's just being nice for the sake of it. He's not even very good it that.
3. We're supposed to see him as one of the heroes of the film, even though he feels entitled to have Dawn just by virtue of being her best friend. To the point where he willingly tries to give her love potion to force her to love him. That sounds like something Roland would do. To drive that point home, two of them even had shared opinions when they were next to each other.
4. He's completely stupid, considering he promised to take care of the love potion yet screwed everything up at the ball.
5. He gets no punishment for his actions whatsoever, making him a good example of an Karma Houdini.
6. Elijah Kelley did a shockingly bad job voicing him, even for a CGI-animated movie in the mid-2010's.

As time passed, stories of the witch's acts of mischief became more exaggerated. It was said that she could transform into various creatures, such as a raven or a black cat, aiding her in her dark deeds. She was also rumored to brew potions that could bring both harm and healing, depending on her intentions. The fear of the witch's powers grew so intense that the townspeople began taking extreme measures to safeguard their homes and loved ones. They would hang talismans and charms near their doorways, believing that these objects would protect them from her curses. Some even went as far as conducting rituals and prayers to ward off her evil presence. Over time, the witch's legend became intertwined with the history of Delray, shaping the town's identity. The tales of her powers and wickedness were passed down from generation to generation, serving as a reminder of the darkness that once plagued the town. However, as the years went by, the legend of the witch of Delray began to fade. With each passing generation, skepticism replaced fear, and the stories of her malevolence were dismissed as mere folklore. The town moved on, focusing on progress and modernity, leaving behind the ghosts of their ancestors' fears. Yet, echoes of the witch's tale could still be heard in Delray, especially during Halloween, when her legend resurfaced in the form of costumes and decorations. The witch of Delray, once feared and dreaded, had transformed into a symbol of Halloween festivities, a reminder of the town's mystical past. So, even though the witch of Delray might just be a legend, her story continues to enchant and captivate the imaginations of those who hear it. And as long as her tale is remembered, the witches of Delray will never truly disappear..

I was really disappointed with "The Witch of Delray". I misunderstood the genre and expected a thrilling horror story about witches, but instead, it was a slow-paced historical drama. The plot was predictable and lacked excitement. I also found the characters to be one-dimensional and didn't feel connected to any of them. Overall, it didn't live up to my expectations, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a thrilling witch-based story.

I found "The Witch of Delray" to be a letdown. The story lacked a clear direction and struggled to hold my attention. The author attempted to blend elements of history and witchcraft, but it felt forced and disjointed.
