'Rise of the Guradians' has some good Dreamworks Animation humor and a lot of excitement. I feel like Dreamworks has been turning out more quality movies lately, and this one is no exception; Pixar and Disney have some serious competition. In addition to being entertaining, 'Guardians' has some heart, and a message about believing in good and overcoming fear. The animation is at its best, and the characters are all fun to watch--the fairies, elves, and yettis. This will be the family movie to see this holiday season.

Ok if you have small kids. Children 12 and over might get bored. Jack Frost is handsome. That's why I kept watching!
-
A great movie - an imaginative and creative look at holiday traditions and beliefs. Better than I thought it would be. My kids loved it.
-
Great family movie with a lovely message. The villain, Pitch, aka The Bogeyman, was pretty scary and may frighten young children.
-
Good humor and fun for the entire family. My 6 year old daughter loved it. Some suspenseful parts, but nothing really scary.
-
Wonderful movie. Great art, great characters. Love vs. fear. Great lessons for children and adults to learn. I found myself smiling through the whole movie. Very enjoyable.
-
The movie is based upon a series of picture books and chapter books. It is a fun children's movie where the humor is clean and the movie is enjoyable for all ages. Good pacing, beautiful art, and a great moral. Highly enjoyed the movie.
-
The perfect movie with kids on Christmas Eve. Clever, creative, and for this sentimental dad, touching. Hard not to want to be a guardian of innocent kids yourself after watching this one.
-
More like "Rise of the Plot Holes."
-
Surprisingly good movie. Kept the attention of all my kids from 12 to 5 years old. Would recommend to any family.
-
Great moive for adults and children over the age of 5. A few time during the moive I thought to myself "is this part of the moive appropriate for really young children?". Parts of the moive could be scary for young children.

Mashing up all these mythical heroes into one overstuffed tale offers some moments of enchantment... With its fanciful razzle-dazzle, Rise of the Guardians is appealing, if slightly hectic, family fare... Read full review here

There’s more “wow” factor involved than genuine charm... Read full review

Rise of the Guardians is a fun adventure story that many kids will enjoy. There are some scary images that little kids may be frightened by, but the overall message of how to overcome darkness and despair through hope conquers and makes this show worth the watch.
-
I liked the twist on the traditional characters -- especially the Easter Bunny and Santa. My husband and I wanted to see more of the elves and the yeti's, they were hilarious. The only negative was the plot line was kind of sluggish and there was a point when you wondered if something new was going to happen. Overall it was a fun movie to watch though.

I gather younger children will like the breakneck action, the magical ability to fly and the young hero who has tired of only being a name... Read full review here

This fractured 3-D fairy tale gathers up a hodgepodge of kiddie icons, turning them into a bedtime-story X-Men team... It's all more lightweight-likable than exciting... Read full review here

I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. Clever storyline. If my 5 nephews are like most kids, this will suck children right in. It's currently their favorite show.

There can be some scary moments for small children but a great film for families. Could become a classic.

The themes/dialogue might go over the head of a kid much younger than 8, but the content is acceptable to 3-4 year olds. It's a pretty, entertaining film, but somehow seems more cheesy that holiday films usually do.

This movie, which is targeted at older children (rather than pre-schoolers), explores the unconventional premise of establishing certain well-known mythical characters as superheroes...The movie unfolds at a brisk pace, with plenty of adventure, humor, and moments of surprising emotional depth.... not groundbreaking animation but a solidly entertaining 90 minutes for older children and adults...

Great movie, clean in almost every aspect. Pitch, the villain, could be scary for children.

As a grandpa, it is a guilty pleasure to go with my grandkids to movies like this! I thought that it portrayed good moral lessons throughout - standing up for what is right - standing up against evil - being a true friend, etc. It was a very good movie!

I have small kids and my sister has teenagers. We all watched this together and everyone LOVED it!! There wasn't a lot of adult humor that we've come to expect even from children's movies. Even the scary parts were lessened by humor and a seriously cute little bunny.

I totally loved this show. It appealed to the my child side with the belief in magical and mythological guardians of the holidays banding together to save children's belief in them. I recommend taking a bit older kids to it though, I think the plot would be hard for younger kids to understand.

One of the best movies ever. Have never seen all the guardians all together.

Wonderful story. I was skeptical at first, but then I truly fell in love with the movie. Good message for children about believing in yourself and finding your purpose in helping others. Little to no foul language that I recall.
