This movie has been out for 6 years and despite hearing about it here and there, it never crossed my mind to go watch it. I honestly thought it was some lame ass attempt to make superheroes out of Santa and the Easter bunny. Boy was I wrong!Every single scene is riddled with emotion and there was something every minute that left me in awe. I don't think I have seen many movies where every single character - and i mean every one- even if they are an extra that is in frame for 2 seconds - has a such an expressive, charismatic appearance. It made me feel all the feels and more! Messages about hope, facing your fears, magic, believing in yourself and in miracles are brought to you in a way that hits home. I'm a sucker for animated movies with a lot of heart and this one wrapped my heart in a warm cuddly blanket. There are so many moments that make you go "awww" and the first half of the movie is so incredible endearing and charming, while the second half gets more serious and really engaging. The villian here - the Boogyman - is protrayed like a real devil. Sly, charming, cunning, dark but intriguing. You even think at one point that his reasons for doing his evil are justified. He's not a 100% villian, he tries to get on your gullible good side, and that is exactly what a devil does. Outstanding character in every way! Making Santa a big, tough Russian cuddle-tank was a daring move but it worked like a charm. His facial expressions can speak novels within a single shot.... the animation department gave full attention to the characters' emotions and they nailed it! If you haven't seeen this one, you. are. missing. out!!! Out there with Coco, How to Train your Dragon and Wall-E.

only fascinating. proposing a great Jack Frost, using the right way to become memorable, giving realistic character, large doses of tension and humor, adventures, moral lesson, original portrait of duty, friendship and solidarity, spectacular fight scenes and lovely small sentimental isles, it is one of the most seductive animations of the last decade. the explanation is not so easy because its basic virtue is emotion. the manner to be delightful for the inner child . the art to explore an entire universe of symbols, values and believes. the dialogues who are not always comfortable. the North who seems be collection of different fantastic characters but who remains itself. a trip in the essence of childhood. its cold air as precious souvenir.

Rise of the Guardians (2012): Dir: Peter Ramsey / Voices: Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher, Jude Law: Corrupt holiday family animated candy coated crap with a title that references the promise of goodness emerging from each holiday. It is like a holiday version of The Avengers only instead of the Hulk, Thor and Captain America we have Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. The problem is that the super heroes are intended for action and a certain amount of violence but these holiday theme characters are faulted with unlikely qualities. We have Santa Claus brandishing swords. We have a feisty Easter Bunny with an Australian accent throwing boomerangs. We have the lady Tooth Fairy who protects the memories of teeth. Finally we have Jack Frost whom kids cannot see because they do not believe in him. The one interesting character is Frost who desires to learn where he came from. He is recruited to assist the other Guardians in battling the Boogeyman / Pitch Black. He creates nightmares and aims to make children not believe in the guardians. Director Peter Ramsey is backed with dazzling animation but the story is preposterous. The movie seems fitted for its action and violence and that seems to go against the theme of the characters. The cast would do better starring live in a better film as oppose to wasting their voices in this holiday farce. It just seems that the only guardians who should rise are the parents who should really demonstrate the good nature of these characters and not subject their children to this holiday rubbish. Score: 3 ½ / 10

Jack frost is a main character in this movie. He is a spirit of winter and he can invisible.At the North Pole, North, better known as Santa Claus, is alerted that Pitch, the Bogeyman, has returned and is threatening childhood with fear. After summoning fellow Guardians the Tooth Fairy (Tooth), the Easter Bunny (E. Aster Bunnymund) and the Sandman (Sandy), North learns from the Man in the Moon that they are to induct Jack as their new member. Jack is brought to North's headquarters and they attempt to swear him in. Jack, frustrated by centuries of isolation caused by children's disbelief in him, declines to join. Regardless, North persuades him to cooperate for now by explaining their mission and the looming threat of Pitch. At Tooth's castle, the team discovers that Pitch has attacked, taken all the children's teeth, the childhood memories stored in them, and all but one of Tooth's mini fairies, Baby Tooth, whom Jack saves. Pitch declares his intention to destroy children's faith in the Guardians in revenge for his own disbelieved-in state, beginning with Tooth, who immediately begins weakening as children stop believing in her. To avert this, the Guardians perform her teeth-collection themselves for the interim, with a promise to find Jack's teeth to recover his previous life's memories. A young boy named Jamie is delighted to discover them in his room, as he believes in all of them except Jack, which renders Jack still invisible. Pitch learns of the Guardians' resistance and attacks Jack and Sandy; despite Jack's great efforts to save him, Sandy is overwhelmed by Pitch and seemingly destroyed. The Guardians' spirit broken, a despondent Jack departs in disgrace to Antarctica. There, Pitch tempts him to join forces, but Jack again refuses, as he wants to be loved, not feared. In response, Pitch reveals he has Baby-Tooth, and threatens to kill her unless Jack relinquishes the source of his power, his staff. Jack submits, but Pitch reneges and the resulting fight leaves Jack trapped in a crevasse with Baby-Tooth while Pitch breaks his staff. To counter Jack's despair, Baby-Tooth convinces Jack to unlock his memories, which reveal he was a mortal boy who died saving his sister from falling through ice, and because of that heroism was changed into a winter spirit and chosen as a Guardian by the Man in the Moon. Inspired at this revelation, Jack is able to restore his staff and his power. The Guardians and Pitch learn there is only one believing child left: Jamie. Jack races to the boy and not only confirms Jamie's faith in the Guardians, but also instills a belief in Jack Frost, enabling Jamie to finally see him. The diminished and weakened Guardians arrive to join him as they confront Pitch, while Jamie gathers his friends to support them. Pitch's seemingly overwhelming power of nightmare proves no match against the children's faith, which restores the Guardians' full power to battle the villain. Sandman is resurrected by this belief, and joins the fight, leaving Pitch defeated and children's faith restored, as well as in Jack Frost. Pitch is taken down by his own fear and is forced back into his lair. At this victory, Jack is finally sworn in as a Guardian and resolves to protect the world's children with his new friends. this is movie is really interesting but some part is copy from frozen.
