Fantasy is a
genre that uses
magic
and other supernatural
forms as a primary element of plot,
theme, or setting.
The genre is generally distinguished from science fiction
and horror=
by overall look, feel, and theme=
of the individual work, though there is a great deal of overlap
between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction).
In its broadest sense, fantasy comprises works by many writers,
artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient -
myths-
and legends-
to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today.-
The genre of fantasy is generally distinguished
from other works that may use things believed to be impossible by
its internal consistency (the marvels do not alter their behaviour
without reason in a work) and its presentation as true in its
context.
