Let's talk Christmas movies: Rise of the Guardians

Rise of the Guardians:

 

Rise of the Guardians is a beautifully animated children's movie about fear, oblivion, faith, belonging and ultimately kindness. I enjoy the interpretations of the Easterbunny, Santa, Sandman and Toothfairy very much, inventive and fun to see. The Sandman's animation in particular was gorgeous to look at. It has a lot of heart and a simple yet gripping story that ends hopefully. Making the antagonist be more representative of hopelessness than fear - although fear was still part of it, of course - was, in my opinion, a good and meaningful choice. No wonder I like to come back to this children's movie from 8 years ago.
