Purely Original Bedtime Treasure

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2013)

You'll find this little gem a bit more cultured than the average kiddie flick. It's an adorable, yet purely original twist on all the classic bedtime legends which makes it uniquely entertaining & satisfying for both the kiddies & adults watching.
The top reasons to watch this movie though, are really all in the hilarious & original characters it collaborates...
Bye bye jolly Saint Nick & hello tattooed, gruff, fur hatted, sword wielding, cookie-eating Russian Santa who's a bit rough around the edges. The Easter bunny has an Australian accent & wields a boomerang ... can you say adorable ?! Also, the Yetis have handlebar mustaches & are the perfectionists who actually make all the toys! It just so happens the elves are just mischievous little hats with goofy faces & feet who's only purpose is to look cute. Lastly, the tooth fairy (only lady Guardian) has mini-fairies as assistants that are tiny little hummingbirds who might just bring back images of the beloved Fern Gully.
As far as voices go....Chris Pine (from Star Trek) adds a bit of a sultry tone to his skinny Jack Frost character, while Jude Law voices of the Boogeyman (I'm sure women watching this will still pickup on his sexy accent & tone though.) Alec Baldwin also doesn't disappoint with his gruff portrayal of a Russian Santa's voice.
All in all, this flick has a non-materialistic, dreamy glow that makes it a special treat for family movie night.
