Not to be confused as a sequel to ‘Legend of
Guardians’, this animation puts a twist on your traditional holiday tale. Described
as a “fairytale version of The Avengers”, DreamWork’s ‘The Rise of the Guardians’ takes us into a mystical
realm where a group of recognizable heroes with extraordinary powers bind
together to combat a growing threat to the safety of the world’s everywhere.
Although there has been a somewhat luke-warm
response from critiques, ‘The Rise of the Guardians’ is an interesting spin-off
from usual festive film releases and should offer an entertaining way to invigorate the holiday spirit.
