I have watched this movie about two weeks ago I still remember the movie,  I have to say a movie about Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth fairy, The Sandman and Jack Frost looking into movie like that did I ever think it was going to be good with all the fairy tales coming together.   
  
Yes!  I thought so and apparently it can came out to be good when I expected to be.  I always feel that it wasn't going to be as good due to the phasing of the movie.   but so far it came out well for both children and adults to enjoy with the fun moments that this movie brings to the audience.  Importantly I love how the films visual effects shines out so well!  it is just amazing coming from the studios that bought you Sherk  series and Antz!  It's great to see Dreamworks brings to the table.  I like the fight scenes that between Sandman and the Boogieman going against each other showing the visual that comes in the fight scenes together.  Which brings the film such wonders.  especially the fun moments when Jack Frost was in the town playing with the kids with the trail of ice that creating an ice slide that Jack Frost did when the kid was using ice slide across town.   
  

**The Plot**

  

The spirit of winter, [Jack Frost](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Frost) ([Chris Pine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Pine)), is lifted with no previous memory from the depths of a frozen pond by the [Man in the Moon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_in_the_Moon), only to discover that no one can see, hear, or touch him. Three-hundred years later, at the [North Pole](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pole), Nicholas St. North, better known as [Santa Claus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus) ([Alec Baldwin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Baldwin)), becomes aware that Pitch Black, the [Boogeyman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boogeyman) ([Jude Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jude_Law)), has returned and is threatening the children of the world. After alerting fellow Guardians the [Tooth Fairy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_Fairy)/Toothiana (Tooth for short) ([Isla Fisher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Fisher)), the [Easter Bunny](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Bunny)/E. Aster Bunnymund ([Hugh Jackman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Jackman)), and the [Sandman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandman) (Sandy for short) to the problem, North learns that Jack has been selected by the Man in the Moon as the new recruit. Jack, frustrated and hurt by centuries of isolation, declines the invitation, but North persuades him to cooperate by explaining their mission and the looming threat.

It has a good plot line and love the story behind it, it was good mash up the fairy tale story coming together I really liked,  but the only thing is that its something that I wouldn't watch all the time since this doesn't come close to a classic or best as of any animation that this Disney has,  If anything else I love Wrech it Ralph!  That movie had references from the old school arcade games that I played when I was a kid that right there enjoy so much, but this Rise of the Guardians is good but doesn't come close to Wrech it Ralph.  I give it 7/10.  for the story and the visual effects that comes amazing this current generation 3D animations.
