Upside-Down Magic (film)

United Kingdom Upside-Down Magic is a 2020 American fantasy film released as a Disney Channel Original Movie.

It is an adaptation of the eponymous fantasy book series by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins.

During the test, Reina shows off her flare skills while Nory unintentionally transforms into a cat/dragon hybrid while trying to turn into a cat.

Nory attempts to crash the competition by turning into a kitten to prove that UDMs can be just like normal students, but instead becomes an elephant/cat/dragon hybrid.

Chandra is revealed to be an embodiment of Shadow Magic in human form the next day when the other Flares cannot see who Reina is talking to.

After the incident, Nory and the UDMs are moved into their respective magic classes and Budd is now an official Fuzzy teacher; the Sage way is also abolished and the students are now free to do their own things.

[13] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the film a score of four out of five stars and noted the depiction of positive messages and role models, citing teamwork and friendship in the story.
