Rise of the Guardians is movie, essentially, about Christmas. Eponymous Guardians are a group of supernatural beings tasked with protecting the children, their innocence and their dreams. They consist of well-known figures – Santa Claus, a jolly large Russian with tatoos and sabres; Easter Bunny, an Australian boomerang-wielding humanoid bunny; the Tooth Fairy, a fairy collecting teeth, and the Sandman, jolly rotund man responsible for dreams. Their task is to spread joy and wonder around the globe and stop the Pitch Black – dark figure who wants to stop them from doing so and spread misery and nightmares instead. All of them draw power from belief, and are only visible to those who believe in them.

Anybody else watched it?

I’m oddly fond of this film. The characters are fun and bounce off each other nicely, and Jude Law is having a blast as the villain (Pitch Black/the Bogeyman). Couple that with a story that isn’t complete piss, good soundtrack, and splendid animation, and you have a film that stands higher than most of the box office bombs of recent year.

Only thing I remembered about it was the protagonist died trying to save his sibling from thin ice and was then resurrected as an immortal but couldn't visit his family again. That was sad.

Agreed. It is my favorite Christmas film, as I already noted. And they nailed the characterization... the good and the bad.
