Rise of the Guardians Appreciation Post
After almost being released about a year ago, I finally saw Rise of the Guardians and actually really loved it. I feel this movie gets a lot of crap that it really doesn't deserve. Not only was it amazingly designed, the story was heart felt and sweet. I love Jack Frost's background. Also, the details in each character's design made it hard to choose a favorite. The plot was well done. These intimidating guardians protect the children of the world, but have lost their true connections with them. They work hard to protect children, but don't have time for children, as Santa says in the film.
What made this film well designed were the small details like the frost on Jack's hoodie and the sandman's use of sand pictures to talk, since he can't actually talk. The Toothfairy's outfit was so detailed with all its feather's and Bunnymund's fur looked extremely soft. I especially loved Santa's arm tattoo's of the naughty and nice lists. One thing that does bug me about this film though is why can't adult's dreams be protected too? I mean seriously, what's the deal? Are we so corrupt that these guardians just drop us like a hot potato? Anyway, the well designed characters is what makes this film so good. Also, the fact that Dreamwork's animated these detailed etchings of frost. Besides the minor criticism, I truly loved Rise of the Guardians and will definitely be watching it again soon.
