Fun Kids Film!

Rating: 9/10 (26 April 2014)

I know that Rise of the Guardians has been the talk of the movie world because of it's net losses and how it is one of DreamWorks Animation's lowest-grossing films. But this happens to be a fun, briskly-paced animated film that is kind of like the Avengers, but for children. I know kids will like this because this unites all their childhood heroes. As for adults, this is entertaining enough because of the zany brightness and visuals, the action-packed story, and the short running time.
Peter Ramsey directed a film that brings together Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Sandman, and Jack Frost as they join forces as Guardians to protect the innocence and dreams of children that the evil Pitch, known as Boogeyman is trying to take away.
This film has a solid voice-cast which adds personality to each character. Chris Pine makes a solid, adventurous Jack Frost. Jude Law is really good as the villainous Pitch. Isla Fisher makes for a good Tooth Fairy and Alec Baldwin surprisingly, is a solid Santa.
Overall, Rise of the Guardians is a rather fun, action-packed adventure for kids and adults alike. It's not the greatest in the story department, but this still adds up for a fun time. It has great themes regarding in being believed in and hope and that is always good to teach the kids. I rate this film 9/10.
