Awesome submitted by devipal on July 27, 2014, 7:06am It is a great movie about believing in Santa, tooth fairy, sand man, Easter bunny, and Jack Frost to figh the evil.

Best scene in the history of everything ever submitted by mrajraspn08 on August 15, 2016, 10:24am I cannot be objective about this movie. It is my favorite, since the moment I watched it. I went in to see the new, awesome, modern versions of favorite childhood characters, but it was Jack Frost I fell in love with. I identify so strongly with this character and his struggles (so much so, I have ventured into cosplay), and the message of believing in yourself is one that has stuck with me even years later, even as an adult. One of the scenes (no spoilers, but you will know it when you see it) had me in tears--it was so powerful, and so relateable, I firmly believe that it is the best scene in the history of everything ever. I have watched it dozens of times, so often that I caved and bought not one, but two copies of the DVD. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Great submitted by anacoluthon on August 21, 2018, 3:21am I love this movie so much. It's a very interesting take on classic childhood myths. I highly recommend the books by William Joyce that it was based on, too!

A seriously underrated movie submitted by Margaret on August 3, 2023, 10:36am Dreamworks animation has come out with some films that are kind of flown under the radar due to lack of popularity. This was one of those films. I cannot understand why not a lot of people gave this movie some love. It had a stellar star cast, a very interesting story line and probably the most beautiful animation I’d seen in a very long time. Chris pines, Hugh Jackman, Alec Baldwin, Isla Fisher, and Jude Law, lend their voices to the characters of this beautiful film. To top it off you really feel for these characters and what they’re going through in their time of need. I hate to say it, but I kinda developed a semi crush on Jack Frost. The fact that he’s voiced by the guy who played as Steve Trevor in the wonder woman movie and of course, James Tiberius Kirk in Star Trek films. However, it was really cool to hear Alec Baldwin doing a Russian Santa Claus. Hugh Jackman is always been one of my favorite actors in him doing the voice of the Easter bunny was really great and let’s not forget Jude Law who is famous for doing Dumbledore in the fantastic beasts, movies playing pitch black the bogeyman. I would really love it if there was a follow up film or a TV series it would’ve been fascinating to see where this could’ve gone. But unfortunately, we just only have this one movie and I guess that’s enough for now. If you haven’t seen it yet do check it out. It’s not for younger children. Mostly older kids and adults. It truly is a classic.

Rise of the Guardians submitted by lstorc on August 17, 2023, 8:03am Rise of the Guardians has a smart storyline, beautiful animation, and fun characters. It's worth seeing.
