OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: A group of misfit campers help a down-on-his-luck magician rediscover his love of magic in Disney’s “Magic Camp,” a heartwarming comedy about finding joy and confidence in self-acceptance. As a boy attending the Institute of Magic, a secluded mountain retreat which plays host to a bevy of aspiring young magicians each summer, Andy Duckerman (Adam Devine) was a camp legend. Now, at 35, he's struggling to make ends meet as a professional illusionist and is frustrated and depressed by the direction his career has taken. But when the Institute invites Andy to return as a counselor, he finds himself in charge of the greenest and most awkward wannabe magicians, and having to deal with his former partner and current arch rival, Kristina Darkwood (Gillian Jacobs), who’s also a counselor. As Andy slowly gains the respect of his team of ragtag artists, they in turn inspire him to nurture each of their unique talents while preparing them to compete with the camp’s more experienced magicians in the Institute’s annual Top Hat magic contest. “Magic Camp” stars Adam Devine, Jeffrey Tambor and Gillian Jacobs and is directed by Mark Waters from a screenplay by Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster and Matt Spicer & Max Winkler and Dan Gregor & Doug Mand and a story by Gabe Sachs & Jeff Judah and Matt Spicer & Max Winkler. The film is produced by Suzanne Todd with Mario Iscovich, Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah serving as executive producers. The film also stars Nathaniel McIntyre, Cole Sand, Isabella Crovetti, J.J. Totah, Izabella Alvarez, Hayden Crawford, Bianca Grava, Rochelle Aytes, Michael Hitchcock and Willie Garson. “Magic Camp” premieres on August 14, 2020, streaming exclusively on Disney+.
