This film is based off William Joyce's book series The Guardians of Childhood. Jack Frost, the spirit of winter, is called by the Man in the Moon to become one of the guardians who protect the children of the world. The Sandman, North/Santa Clause, the E.Aster Bunny/Bunny, and the Tooth/Tooth Fairy are called together to fight the nightmares from Pitch (the Boogeyman). Pitch threatens to destroy everything they have worked to achieve and protect.
This film was directed by Peter Ramsey. The second film to be directed by Peter Ramsey. This film is a perfect children's fairy tale for seasonal holiday. It has the familiarity of a children's fairy tale causing it to be predictable. There are moments when the story moves slow paced, but it is very touching. It would have been nice to see a twist in the end of the film. Give the audience something unexpected. Even if the film is meant to be about all the characters, it generally focuses is on Christmas magic. Which is interesting for it taking place a few days before Easter. The film has terrific use of elemental movements (such as ice, sand, and snow), and great backdrops. Although the Bunny's home felt lacking in splendor. The use of computer animation was well done. Unfortunately I didn't get to see this film in 3D. The film is an adventure that has something for everyone. It has several adorable moments for girls, and plenty of adventure for boys.
The cast worked great together. It is unfortunate that the secondary characters didn't have as much of a backstory. Pitch's wasn't even fully developed cinematically. This caused some of the characters to fell flat. Chris Pine performed the voice for Jack Frost. He was great in his role. He created the carefree spirit of Jack Frost. He gave the character a face and personality. Alec Baldwin performed the voice of North/Santa Clause. He was good in his role. It was strange to have a russian Santa Clause, but it worked. He was the popularized version of Clause in every since of the word. Isla Fisher performed the voice of Tooth/Tooth Fairy. She was good in her role. She gave the tooth fairy a slightly new look. She looked more like a humming bird than the tradition fairy, but it makes sense. Hugh Jackman performed the voice of the Bunny/E.Aster Bunny. He was great in his role. He gave the Easter Bunny a very new style. Jude Law performed the voice of Pitch. He was amazing in his role. He created a sneaky villain that was completely opposite to Jack Frost.
I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! It is a great family holiday film, but it does feel like there is a lot missing in the story.
