Review – Rise of the Guardians

Holiday mascots and other childhood fantasy figures band together to thwart a shadowy villain’s plot to take over the world. The production bets a lot on taking new approaches to familiar characters. The protagonist is Jack Frost, who obviously isn’t quite as popular as Santa Claus. And they got Hugh Jackman to voice an ill-tempered, feral-looking Easter Bunny. Overall this is polished bit of CGI, what you’d expect from The Nightmare Before Christmas re-imagined by Dreamworks Animation. Mildly amusing
