Fresh and exciting, Loved it!

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2013)

I went to see this with my husband, my daughter and her two friends.
Im a big fan of these newer animated movies (brave, toy story 3 etc.) and this didn't let me down! The typical characters are freshly done, with a modern or different twist.
Santa is called North (Baldwin), has tattoos, an accent and doesn't seem quiet so jolly when he is holding two swords! He is the leader, and not quiet as ho- ho as you would expect for a kids movie.
The Easter bunny is 6 feet tall, can open portals with a tap of his foot, carries boomerangs on him at all times. Oh and he has an Australian accent (finally, a movie i get to hear Hugh Jackmans true accent in). Oh and he gets competitive with North.
The tooth fairy appears to be a humming bird with a strange fixation on teeth, blood and gums. I thought the back story as to why she collects teeth was well thought out.
Jack frost appears to be a kid, even though he was voiced by Chris pine who is 30 or something like that, it didn't detract, and it was a well done job. (the girls LOVED him ahem ahem). Deep, troubled, and self doubting, but with a good heart, its not hard to see why, My favorite was Sand man, whose power is way cool to watch.
Pitch the main evil bad guy in this was done by Jude Law. Very well done as well.
This movie has all sorts of messages; don't give up, believe in yourself, and that sometimes adults need help too.it also shows what happens between 2 people with similar feelings, and how if you don't get them under control, you can turn bad.
The kids were totally enamored. I was too. It didn't feel long, it was the perfect length.
Masterfully told, action packed and super cute moments as well. I love the yeti's!
