Rice Of The Guardians

1. Rise Of The Guardians Pitch

(Potential spoiler alerts!) Some intense action. Pitch Black and his minions are able to destroy one of the Guardians. The other Guardians begin to lose their powers as children stop believing in them. Pitch cleans out the Tooth Fairy's castle, breaks all of the Easter Bunny's eggs, and generally breaks the hopeful spirit of all the children he encounters. He undoes the work of the Sandman so that kids have nightmares instead of sweet dreams.

Pitch's shadowy black stallions can be frightening. In a flashback, viewers see that the boy who was Jack Frost drowned saving his sister and then transformed into the icon of winter. Santa uses swords. Parents need to know that Rise of the Guardians is sort of like with childhood icons: Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman.

There's lots of action and some mild violence revolving around the menacing bad guy Pitch Black, who turns children's dreams into nightmares with his cavalry of scary stallions (some scenes may feel more intense in the movie's 3-D version). (Spoiler alert!) One Guardian is destroyed but comes back to life at the end of the movie. There's some insulting language like 'coward' and 'selfish' and 'go suck an egg,' and in a flashback, a main character drowns but transforms rather than dying.

Whether they personally believe in these characters or not (and the nontraditional way they're portrayed here could get some of them wondering.), kids will root for the Guardians as they fight the forces of chaos and despair. Based on the by author/illustrator William Joyce, RISE OF THE GUARDIANS follows Jack Frost (voiced by), a carefree immortal figure who creates winter fun for children who don't really believe in him. Everything changes when Pitch Black rallies his nightmare forces to cause worldwide despair and make children stop believing in the Guardians of Childhood: Santa Claus , the Easter Bunny , the Tooth Fairy , and the Sandman.

When the Man in the Moon tells the existing Guardians that Jack Frost has been chosen to join them, they must convince him to take up the cause before Pitch can snuff out the light of hope in every child of the world. Rise of the Guardians (not to be confused with ) is an exquisitely crafted 3-D adventure. It has an ingenious plot and surprisingly substantive messages that make it just as appropriate for tweens/teens who are still into animation as for younger elementary-aged audiences. The voice performances are all fantastic. Baldwin is hilarious (and nearly unrecognizable) as a tough, tattooed Santa who can wield two swords one moment and play with his workshop's toys (made not by elves but by yetis!) the next. The Easter Bunny (Jackman, for once using his native Aussie accent) is a strapping buck rabbit (but never call him a kangaroo), and Fisher's Tooth Fairy is lovely and amusingly obsessed with teeth.As the contemplative Jack Frost, Pine nearly reprises some of the characteristics of his young Captain Kirk in - both characters are impulsive loners who don't know how to work on a team until they come into their own and spring into action. The movie's visuals are dazzling (especially in each of the Guardians' headquarters), the dialogue funny, and the threat from the villain real and disturbing (and wow, Law has a creepy accent).

It's such a refreshing treat to see an animated film so thoughtfully made that didn't come from Pixar. Director has made an impressive, imaginative fantasy where the wonder of childhood reigns supreme.Families can talk about the importance of childhood beliefs and memories in the story. How are the characters who believe in these childhood heroes the ones who ultimately save the day? What's lost when kids stop believing?.How are the depictions of Santa, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy different than in other childhood films/stories?.What does Santa mean when he tells Jack he has to find his 'center'?

Rise Of The Guardians Pitch

Do you think real people have a 'center' that dictates what they're passionate about and how they act?

In the books, has chosen Ombric, Katherine, and Nightlight alongside North to help fight on the battle against Pitch.Trivia.

The Guardians had the ability 'to dream-share' - their minds could bond while dreaming.Reference.
