Another Enjoyable DreamWorks Animation

Rating: 6/10 (24 September 2014)

The Sandman, The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Jack Frost. All must join forces to stop the dreaded Boogie Man from taking over children's dreams and causing them endless nightmares.
Now, as with a lot of DreamWorks animated movies, the animation in Rise Of The Guardians is absolutely superb and is really amazing to see, especially on Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, the movie itself isn't as good as the animation, BUT in saying that it's still a very decent, enjoyable movie for the whole family to watch. Also, while it's not your typical "roll about the ground laughing" kind of animation there are still some good funny moments, of which a good few involve Santa's elves.
I have to say as well that the way the movie makers have portrayed each of The Guardians was pretty impressive, from the big, tattooed, imposing figure of Santa Claus and the wise-cracking Aussie Easter Bunny, to the dark, scary & mean Boogie Man. There isn't a single character in the movie that you will feel any annoyance or dislike towards (well, apart from the obvious one of The Boogie Man). Even the big Abominable Snowmen that help Santa Claus are likable and somewhat funny.
Speaking of the Boogie Man, there are some scenes that may possibly scare a younger audience (ages of about 5 or 6), but in all honesty there's nothing too bad here that will give them nightmares, and they will more than likely enjoy the movie regardless of any scares they may get from watching the Boogie Man.
All in all, while it's not DreamWorks best feature, Rise Of The Guardians is, as I said earlier, still a very enjoyable movie to watch.
