Rise of the Guardians debuted late last year but it wasn't until this spring, day before Easter in fact, that I decided to watch it.
Rise of the Guardians opens with the line, "Darkness. That's the first thing I remember. It was dark, and it was cold. And I was scared.
"But then, but then I saw the Moon, it was so big and so bright, it seemed to chase the darkness away; and when it did, I wasn't scared anymore."
Then the last line heard before going to the Title is, "My name is Jack Frost, how do I know that? The Moon told me so. That's all he ever told me and that was a long, long time ago."
The story follows the mythical figures [Guardians] Santa, who's Russian with tattoos; The Easter Bunny, a giant, cute bunny, from 'Down Under'; The Tooth Fairy, who resembles a hummingbird; and Sandman, a silent guardian.
It isn't until Pitch, the 'Boogyman', threatens to invade the minds of children all over the world and turn dreams into nightmares that the Guardians are presented with a new Guardian chosen by the Moon -- Jack Frost.
One constant throughout is belief. If the children believe the Guardians can be seen and heard, but in Jack's situation he is unseen.
This is one movie that can be watched throughout the year and not be barred to one holiday. Follow this heroic and heart warming character as the discovers the true power of belief.
Which ends just the way it started: "My name is Jack Frost, and I'm a Guardian. How do I know that? The Moon told me so."
--Also, try to guess who voices the characters - I guarantee you will be surprised when you figure out who provides these spectacular beings with voice, with life.
