Set my Bar High and it Rose Above it

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2012)

I am a very hard person to impress when it comes to movies. Sure, I may enjoy them and laugh once in a while, but I rarely come to a movie where I actually have fun.
Rise of the Guardians is that movie. Before, I saw nothing of it except for a few pictures online and I knew I wanted to see it. After seeing the trailer I had my expectations set very high. I'm writing this less than an hour after seeing it and I'm still smiling like a silly child.
Everything about this movie is glorious, the story, characters, animation, music, voices, moral, just everything is magical and adorably lovable. Never before have I encountered a movie, let alone an animated film, that entered not only my top 10 favorite movies, but my top 5 favorites in under 20 minutes.
I recommend this to anyone and everyone. Big or small, even the Grinch would love this movie. I almost think adults and older kids will enjoy it more, and that's great! We all need to be reminded of that kid inside us. Rise of the Guardians is a beautiful piece of art that needs to be seen by the world. I only wish I could do more to spread the word. Believe in it.
