It's such a refreshing treat to see an animated film so thoughtfully made that didn't come from Pixar. The movie's visuals are dazzling (especially in each of the Guardians' headquarters), the dialogue funny, and the threat from the villain real and disturbing (and wow, Law has a creepy accent). The Easter Bunny (Jackman, for once using his native Aussie accent) is a strapping buck rabbit (but never call him a kangaroo), and Fisher's Tooth Fairy is lovely and amusingly obsessed with teeth.Īs the contemplative Jack Frost, Pine nearly reprises some of the characteristics of his young Captain Kirk in Star Trek - both characters are impulsive loners who don't know how to work on a team until they come into their own and spring into action. Baldwin is hilarious (and nearly unrecognizable) as a tough, tattooed Santa who can wield two swords one moment and play with his workshop's toys (made not by elves but by yetis!) the next. The voice performances are all fantastic. It has an ingenious plot and surprisingly substantive messages that make it just as appropriate for tweens/teens who are still into animation as for younger elementary-aged audiences.
