Rise Of The Guardians- visually inventive, heartwarming, action-packed and funny

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2016)

I didn't see this in theatres when it first came out, I actually got it as a gift from my aunt in March 2013. When I watched it, I was stunned! I found myself engaged by the action scenes, charmed by Jack Frost's backstory, laughing at the jokes, and dazzled by the animation. Although occasionally the story relies too much on action and it can be predictable at times, this film rocks! The elves, yetis and fairies are cute and funny, as well as Hugh Jackman's hilarious performance as the Easter Bunny. Whenever Jack Frost and Bunny argue, it's priceless. Jack's backstory is fully fleshed-out and develops his character entirely. The visual effects and character animation are downright beautiful. Also, I have this on Blu-ray 3D and the 3D effects are some of the best I've seen in an animated film. Rise Of The Guardians is an underrated masterpiece that should've been seen by more people, given it's known as a box office disappointment.
