Film Class: A
Genre: Action (Animation)
Rise of the Guardians is Dreamworks very best animation yet, and is now my top favourite, number 1 animation, finally knocking Finding Nemo (Pixar) off the top spot of my list. I absolutely love it, for the fantasy, the plot, and the characters. I have subconsiously longed for an animation of such wonder to be made... and it has finally risen.
When the Boogie man Pitch comes out from the darkness with a devious plan to extinguish the beliefs, imaginations and hopes of children from all around the world, it's up to the Guardians to save them. The newly appointed Guardian, mischievous and carefree Jack Frost joins the team of Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Sandman and Tooth Fairy to help reignite the beliefs of children, but first, he must find himself and his "center", what he can put in the world, what he's going to protect in children. You won't know what it is... till the very end. It'll be like on the tip of your tongue, yet you can't find the word to describe it.
It's a fantasy type movie on a totally whole different level. In a way, it's like "deceiving" the children watching this film into believing there's really such characters like Santa Clause, Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. But isn't that what the film is trying to show? That we adults lose the wonder in the fantasy when we grow older. We tend to be less imaginative, and less hopeful of our future has install for us.
It has a simple plot, with an interesting take on what the worlds of the recognisable fantasy characters which we all love would look like. To top it, there's a star-studded voiceover crew.. especially that of the guardians and villain. Jack Frost - Chris Pine; Santa Clause - Alec Balwin; Easter Bunny - Hugh Jackman (kudos to Hugh Jackman for his bunny life-like voice); Tooth Fairy - Isla Fisher and Pitch (Boogie Man) - Jude Law.
A fun-filled rewatchable film that I'm sure I won't get sick of. Rise of the Guardians is the true testament of "Dreamworks".
