Review of Rise of the Guardians (2012) by Dann M — 17 Dec 2014
DreamWorks Animation delivers a magical adventure with the children's film Rise of the Guardians. The story follows Jack Frost as he's recruited by the Guardians to stop a ruthless villain who's seeking to extinguish children's believe in magic.
Featuring the voice talents of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law, Isla Fisher, and Hugh Jackman, the film has a good cast that's able to bring the characters to life. And, the animation style and character designs are extraordinarily well-done; creating a colorful and surrealist look.
However, the plot is weak and doesn't really have much substance to it. Also, the film has a rather poor message, that seeing is believing; which is contrary to most children's stories. Yet despite its problems, Rise of the Guardians has a certain charm and is a lot of fun.
