Rise of the Guardians

Neither me nor Noshi knew of this movie, while we both have watched a lot of animation films in our lives.

So yesterday, we sat down for this flick, which Noshi`s roommate told us was a great movie.

Amd what a fun ride it was!  The core of the movie is that legendary guardians (Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the Sandman) guard over the children and their dreams from the bad things in the world.

So when Picth Black, aka the Boogeyman, rises again, the Moon selects a fifth guardian: Jack Frost.  However, due to him not being a legend children "believe" him, he is invisible, and full of doubt if he is made of the right stuff to be a Guardian.  But he turns out to be the one that can resist the Boogeyman, who one by one ruins the faith in believing in the other Guardians, causing them to loose their powers.

So it is up to Jack, who learns his "core" is good honest fun, to stand up and defeat the darkness, and restore the faith in the other mythical guardians.

It`s a great fun movie, and it has some awesome funny moments in it.  Many a laugh was let out by all who where watching, and it is a perfect chrismas period movie.

Though I fear from now on I`ll always see Santa Claus as a sword-wielding Crazy Russian though...
