A sort of Avengers for the elementary school set, Rise of the Guardians is wonderfully animated and briskly paced, but it's only so-so in the storytelling department. Read critic reviews

When this first came out in theaters I skipped it as it didn't look as if it were my cup of tea: the animation was wrong, the concept stilted, I simply wasn't buying it. I hate it when I'm wrong. Beginning with the opening shots of Jack Frost zinging around a pond somewhere, freezing it over, this is simply an entrancing film, DESTINED TO BE A CLASSIC, hitting all the marks for truly enveloping a child's fantasy world while simultaneously reminding adults of that very same. The voice acting too is inspired. A not-to-be-missed tale of the power of dreams.

Although the animation was good and the story was certainly out of the box, I found its portrayals of beloved figures rather disconcerting. Who can warm up to a grumpy Russian Santa Claus who beats up the competition? Or a nasty, iconoclastic Easter bunny? It's just not a "fun" holiday film in my eyes, and seems to try too hard at being edgy.

DreamWorks Animation delivers a magical adventure with the children's film Rise of the Guardians. The story follows Jack Frost as he's recruited by the Guardians to stop a ruthless villain who's seeking to extinguish children's believe in magic. Featuring the voice talents of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law, Isla Fisher, and Hugh Jackman, the film has a good cast that's able to bring the characters to life. And, the animation style and character designs are extraordinarily well-done; creating a colorful and surrealist look. However, the plot is weak and doesn't really have much substance to it. Also, the film has a rather poor message, that seeing is believing; which is contrary to most children's stories. Yet despite its problems, Rise of the Guardians has a certain charm and is a lot of fun.

I thought the film was so so. They had a good idea for a film, but didn't execute it correctly. What surprised me about the film was the dark tone, which was reflected through the villain Pitch. I can see that turning off some kids from the movie. I thought all the actors doing the voices did a great job.
