Honestly, the fact that this movie bombed is a crime. This movie is great, and is definitely underrated, in my opinion.

There is a theory that says that Jack powers dont depend on the belive of children cause he is a spirit of winter and fun, and while you can remove fun from the world you can never remove the cold

[@rafaelalodio5116]

So his nemesis is global warming

[@frenchbreadstupidity7054]

I think that the others just used belief as a crutch and still had some power, they just didn't have the strength to use it. And that Jack is much more powerful than the others so even when his power is dimmed he is still amazing.

[@elizabethmoreno1073]

I believe it has more to do with the fact that he hadn't agreed yet to become a Guardian and hadn't made the Oaths - therefore his magic wasn't bound to the children's belief - but to be fair, the Guardian's lore is sooooo lose in those aspects, so any and all theories are fun to explore.

[@jackolantern147]

The guardians of childhood books detail everyone's backstory and the events after the movie. Trust me, it's worth reading.

[@frenchbreadstupidity7054]

I think the initial Jack Frost is the best example of moral greyness. He doesn't accept duty, he joins them for his own benefits, etc. And his growth makes him more of a guardian, because he begins to act like one. So your toughness on him at the beginning isn't all that fair, it makes a lot of sense for a 'normal person' to not throw themself into a life of serving others without hesitance.

[@tamarasmith9060]

Add to that his vastly smaller size compared to Santa & the way he's drawn to constantly follow the kids around & play was a clue that Jack was literally not fully grown when turned from a human to an elemental spirit. I think the other Guardians, especially Sandman & Santa, should've caught on in 300 years that Jack was a child himself & that's why he didn't act "responsible". He didn't really get a chance to mature, his brain patterns frozen (😂 frozen!) in the impulsive time in between child & adult. Instead of being critical of Jack & saying "he doesn't care about children" & blaming him because he got distracted by the bad guy, they should've spent more time to get to know his personality. If they had taken the time to really talk with him before then they would've understood he had no memory & Tooth Fairy could've helped him remember his past long time ago.

The Movie was loosely based on the Guardians Of Childhood kids book series by William Joyce- I think he helped with this movie as well. The books themselves are kinda dark if you look past the child friendly story telling, and this movie is essentially 300 years after the book events (with some plot differences). He published two picture books, one of which is called Man in Moon, that basically explains the lore behind it XD If you don't mind reading kid books, I can only recommend reading them, the lore and the world building is fantastic.

[@pamdawkins13]

I've only managed to read one of the picture books thus far, but I've read the first three chapter books, and I love them so much! Have to agree on the tone. Good to hear William Joyce may have been involved. I've been wondering about that

Quick note about the plot and the why it went in the order it did and why the kids lost faith so quickly: Pitch went after the tooth fairy first specifically to lure out Sandman, without Sandman's dreams kids lost the ability to believe in the wonderous, so while the Tooth Fairy was just fading originally, her, the Easter Bunny, and Santa lost power quickly after one big push (the ruined Easter).

[@js66613]

Pitch went to the North Pole first in order to distract the Guardians to get into the Tooth Palace before they were all there to weaken the Tooth Fairy by capturing her minions and collecting the memories possibly so that the mini fairies couldn't just restore the belief en mass in such fashion. He then lured out Sandman having found that they decided to collect the teeth as a backup plan. That's why he acted all surprised pikachu and then fell into a fit of indignant rage before calming down and deciding he would go after Sandman. So I disagree.

[@jessieBird96]

Personal theory; Jamie is the descendant of Jack's sister, he looks just like her, lives in the same area, and it would make the fact that Jamie is the first to see Jack even more heartfelt.

[@merlina2815]

and also there's one theory that Jack's sister is the baby tooth because if you look closely you can see a beauty mark next to their right eye (and if you rewatch the movie you can see how the baby tooth acts, for example 24:43, if you watch this full scene you can hear her saying something but in their language when is Jack talking about him having a sister and saving her. And 20:54 when Tooth fairy hugs him, the baby tooth is maybe the one who was with Jack most of the time.

Such an underrated gem of a movie. And yes, Jude Law's voice is to die for. He does an amazing job with Pitch.

[@ianburns1167]

Pitch destroying the eggs and capturing the teeth is more than just messing up the logistics of the holiday. It's a symbolic attack on the core of what the Guardians represent, like Hope and Memory. Of course, it's a bit silly that the Guardians aren't very international for global protector spirits, but what can you do.

[@blade7y156]

I just found out I didn’t have cancer. After nearly a YEAR of fearing the worst. My wife and I watched this after my appointment because we just needed to do _something_ to celebrate. This was all that was playing at the theater nearest us at the time. I was already a mixed up jumble of emotions, by Santa’s “wonder” speech, I was a wreck. In a good way? This silly little film has a very special place in my heart if for no other reason than the circumstances surrounding my first viewing of it. It’s more than that though. It’s more than that my daughter loves it. A daughter I didn’t think I’d see grow old enough to see it, let alone understand it. I think it’s because the movie’s villain is basically just an analog for Fear. I had been so scared for so long, I liked watching the bastard get his ass kicked about for a bit. Sorry to make it all about me, good reaction. Jude Law DOES have an incredible voice. Fantastic cadence. Brilliant tone. Edited: Because I can’t spell for nuts.

[@v.v365]

This movie is based on a book series and Pitch’s backstory is that he was once a royal guard for the rulers of the moon (parents of the future Man in the Moon), and he was chosen to guard a prison full of nightmare creatures. The nightmares corrupted him, and he became their Nightmare King. He wages war on the Man in the Moon and the Guardians in order to consume the whole world in darkness. That’s why he loved the Dark Ages in Earth’s history. Also another detail from the books is that his daughter goes on to become Mother Nature, she’s a force to be reckoned with but she mainly wants to be left alone and keep out of the wars of her father and the Guardians

[@js66613]

Actually, he was first a general. He had a wife, daughter and a good reputation. One day he got tricked into thinking the opposition was attacking another town and in the meantime dream pirates ransacked his home. To protect her daughter who was at the time out, Lady Pitchner used a doll and wrapped it up in cloth and ran to look like she was running away with the daughter, so when she died indirectly at their hands it tricked the people into thinking the daughter was also dead. Kozmotis - his name back then - came back to find his wife dead and daughter missing and went on a rampage, killing and trapping ever Dream Pirate and Fearling he could find. But now they needed someone to guard the surviving fearlings, so, and despite his fragile state of mind, Kozmotis volunteered - and for some reason, the Tsar was OKAY with that?! Like, seriously, the last person on Earth who should be dealing with manipulative creatures that can deadass immitate human behings, was let to guard a whole prison of creatures who could easily feed off of his mental state... especially with his daughter still missing. He also had a locket with the picture of his daughter - who canonically is named Emily Jane, but because it sounds more fantastical and fits in with Kozmotis' fantastical name better, many fans call her Seraphina. Anyway, the fearlings caught onto his longing for his daughter and started mimicking her voice, until they could perfect it, and started crying out in fear in her voice. That broke Kozmotis' resolve and he rushed into the cell, trying to find his daughter realising only to late that it was a trap. Now, literally dying of fear is possible and would have been so interesting, but nope, Joyce went for the possession trope and had him get possessed by fearlings and twisted into Pitch Black. He then went on a scaring spree and wished to give the one child whom never had a nightmare a nightmare - that being the Tsar's son. With the royal family and obstacle and wanting to also take in said child as an heir of his own, he committed regicide. The pookah race - Bunny's race - got involved and being an obstacle he also wiped them out. Nightlight - Manny's small glowing knight - also tried stopping him and eventually their fight led to earth. There the moonclipper - where Manny was - turned into the moon. At one point both Nightlight and Pitch were trapped and to free Nightlight, Manny also made the decision ultimately to free Pitch, who then apparently revelled in the dark place that was Earth before the Guardians turned up. But those are the books and frankly they can be very questionable, even mildly offensive, not very nuanced and it might have been for the best that Pitch isn't the same threat that he was in the books. It gives him more of a possibility to be redeemed.

[@samuelvincent557]

To me, it actually makes sense why the children stop believing in the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy so easily. Children, tend to, have a very black and white view of things. So when they are told that the Tooth Fairy will give them money for their teeth, and it doesn't happen, it can break their belief. Same with the Easter Bunny. Especially, when they showed older children, ones who would be hitting that cusp where it is harder to believe in such things, so one little push like this could be enough to accept that it isn't some mythical being, but their parents doing it. Also, coupled with increased nightmares, and the loss of the teeth to remind them of their happier moments, it creates a situation where it can be, very hard, to believe in something good like that.

[@kiratheusagiisworkshop5266]

Fun thing is, Jack was actually the Moons baby sitter/guardian in a previous version of himself. He was originally called Nightlight and was one of the strongest beings in the universe tasked with guarding Manny the Moon from Pitch. But he had to go so far as to banish Pitch with all he had and he became a human and forgot his past life as Nightlight and then died as a human and became Jack Frost and forgetting once again about his past. So he’s older than all of the guardians, he just don’t remember. X)

[@arjunmg7952]

Correct me if i am wrong but I think the children stopped believing in the guardians so fast only because pitch took their old memories when he took the tooths and he took care of sandman second because he was the only one who could spark the children's imagination and make them believe in fairytales through his dreams. Because if it's correct then pitch is a lot smarter and calculative than I thought previously

"He dissappear for one year, and that is all you kids need to stop believing in him? What about all the other years?" See, this is where Pitch's strategy was brilliant. He went after Tooth first, taking the teeth from the tooth faries meant taking away the safety net and backbone, no more good memories for the kids to access about happy times, hope, dreams, wonder, fun- in times of darkness. He then went after the powerhouse of the guardians, Sandy, taking away dreams from the children. Then hope, for new beginnings and a time of joy through Bunny. And without the teeth to make the kids remember the previously good times, about the things that matter, Pitch essentially places the children in a place of despair. Which leaves no wonder for North to protect. And in that despair and darkness, it'll be easy to make them afraid of the future, of even going to sleep from the nightmares, and that the world is a dark place meant to be feared. (This could even effect the adults too.) Pitch really thought this out. (He didn't account for Jack. Fun can spark joy, which is the bright light in any darkness.)

I saw the first like 30 seconds of this playing on a tv in a Best Buy and I was obsessed. Took me like a week to find out what the title was. It was the fist movie I wasn't disappointed with. I only saw the "darkness. Its the first thing I remember. It was dark and it was cold and I was scared. Then I saw the moon. It seemed to chase the darkness away. And then I wasn't scared anymore.but why I was their and what I was meant to do, that I would never know." Part and then my parents pulled me away. I ,who have excellent memory, was able to remember all I had seen. I speculated from his appearance and the beautiful frost animation that he was Jack Frost. So I soon found the newly released movie about an animated Jack Frost when I got the chance to go on the internet.(I had to wait awhile for that). I was intrigued because I knew what it was to be alone and afraid so I felt a connection to Jack.

This move is Avengers for kids; a group of likable and cute heroes beating a villain with an army.

I looooove the designs for Bunny's home and the Tooth fairy kingdom; so beautiful *O* Santa's workshop is magnificent too, loves the flying toys and the ice sculptures in his office. This movie needs a serie. That would be fantastic to know who Man in moon is (Although keeping his appearance a mystery is great cause we can imagine how he would look like.) See Jamie and his sister as teenagers, maybe the boy could have a girlfriend and introduce her to Jack. The hero could be in couple with Tooth the fairy, they got a lot of chemistry AND shared a hug at the end of the movie plus her babies formes a HEART in the air; that doesn't represent friendship, it's definitely romance/ love.

[@user-ff6dl9zr7u]

Love that you're seen Jack x Tooth energy.

[@Shanky4all]

yes !!! i needed this...i really enjoy ur videos.... !

[@tailssonicteam1604]

Sophie simping for Pitch because he's voices by Jude Law is hilarious 😂

[@jenghizsteyn3539]

Yess. One of my favorites!!

[@alexstrickland6911]

Actually Jack and Pitch have been fighting for many millenniums if you read the book Rise of the Guardians you'll find that Jack Frost was actually the founder of the Guardians Jack Frost was never human he just took human form he's actually a Celestial being basically you've been Immortal his entire life in Pitch is known as the nightmare King he was always bad his daughter is Mother Nature

I remember seeing this movie when i was younger man i loved it with all the magic, spirits, the kid that form what was and still is in my eyes an amazing movie.

[@jupitersmoon3033]

One of my favorite Dreamworks films, so glad to see you watch this!

[@thevoid6596]

I'm doing really well! I'm finally on winter break, and I get to watch another one of your videos!

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

The faeries don't "take" memories...they copy and preserve them. When children feel crappy, or lost, or anything else like that...the faeries remind them of the good times.

[@pianovii3350]

I have no idea why I've never seen you before, but I've spent the last few days watching your stuff, so yea :)

[@williamozdal7442]

I am extremely overwhelmed. Work has been kicking my rump these last few years due to Covid (I’m nothing special just the reality) and these last two weeks especially have been tough. The toughest part is feeling like my company doesn’t support us in the field so we’re constantly finding ourselves having to figure out problems that are way above our pay grade, but you don’t want to leave your teammates hanging so you suck it up and work harder but the only ones who really profit off that is our company and our bosses 😩. Welcome to America, I guess.

[@alphamorion4314]

Oh, you did the movie, nice. Also, the Sophie overtly thirsting in a unabashed sexual way about the bad guy's voice in a kids movie, is very funny to watch.

[@Ortizproductions14]

You should watch My Neighbor Totoro

[@EquinoXshowcases]

Yeah, she should react to anime

[@Ortizproductions14]

But supposed to be Ghibli

[@christianschultz4811]

Man on the moon created the gardens to stop pitch from frightening kids and bring peace and joy and hope to the world pitch was trying to do the opposite

[@frenchbreadstupidity7054]

Because man in the moon is light and pitch is dark.

[@sprout8426]

absolutely in love with your make up!! it looks so stunning on you 🥺

[@MirageAtPlay]

I love that this movie getting sooo much love this year.... but there are other holiday movies. Last holiday with queen latifah is pure wholesomeness

[@rosiebarsby6134]

I just watched this on Christmas Eve and I love it it’s so underrated. I really hope they create a sequel because I heard that the guy who created it said he might make a sequel but I dunno if that will happen any time soon or at all but I still hope he will.

[@VerchielxKanda]

If you don't want darkness at the beginning of a Dreamworks movie, avoid Prince Of Egypt. That masterpiece has slaves being beaten and babies being murdered in its opening scene- But Pitch IS an angry old man. XD All of the guardians are very old. Jack most likely died when he was 16, but he's over 300 years old. Jack is upset, because all of a sudden, he's told he's a Guardian Of Childhood when he'd been ignored for 300 years by virtually everyone. Having died as a teenager, of course he'd still think as a child would, and only want to have fun, but also acknowledgement of his existence. If you're curious about the Man In The Moon, William Joyce, the artist and creator of The Guardians Of Childhood novels, also made a gorgeous picture book of the Man In The Moon's story. Pitch is constantly giving the kid's nightmares night after night. True, there are worse things to fear, but sometimes dreams seem so real that you think they are, cause your brain feels the realism.

[@tiago9977]

This is such an amazing & underated film - it's one of my favourite animated movies tbh. I loved how it turned mythological/ holiday characters into badass heroes w/ amazing character designs & cool abilities lol. I haven't read the books, but I've heard that there's *a lot* of lore - I would've loved to hv seen it explored in more films/ sequels. It also would've be cool to see other characters in this universe, i.e. Mother Nature, Father Time, the Groundhog, the Leprechaun, Cupid, etc

[@izukumidoriya8600]

You keep talking about how it's weird that kids aren't believing anymore after one failed holiday but if I suddenly had no gifts on Christmas or no eggs on Easter despite every other year having them then I'd stop believing that they *still* existed and maybe they went away or maybe never existed

[@ajmalaika1287]

This movie's actually so sad to think of Jack frosts family and friends all passing away without him. Sandy IS BESTIE AND KILLING THE STILL HURTS!

[@Kiernimbus]

I'm doing pretty great! Just moved into my first apartment with my SO, and it's exciting to finally feel like an adult (the responsibility included).

[@marcsteiger7806]

Fun Fact about Sandman. The reason he never talks is because he doesn’t want to wake sleeping children

[@a.g.demada5263]

I like this idea

[@mogwiawolf4354]

also technically you are kinda right on the bad guy being old the moon did create pitch black also the boogeyman long before the guardians so he is kinda old but he doesn't age

[@mogwiawolf4354]

and you probably have gotten a lot of this already but its actually an easter movie but it deals with a character that is more of a winter character so it is understandable to hear you say its a christmas movie but it is okay to watch around this time of the year as well

[@carolinareis5274]

glad you're feeling good. I'm fine, today is being pretty much okay, later I'll hang out with my mother and my younger brother, hope it'll be fun. have a great day :)

[@SophieLents]

have a nice day too!

[@happily_hufflepuff9337]

How did this movie not get a sequel???

[@Your20droid]

Cause of the Box Office

[@toothguardian]

My all-time favourite! So wish they would make a sequel.

[@sammyrouge]

This is such a cool reaction, I love your energy and humor! This is honestly one of my favorite animated films, so I really loved seeing your joy watching! Another animated film I would recommend is Legend of the guardians : The owls of Ga'hoole, it often gets confused with this one due to the name lol Its a beautifully animated movie, stunning cinematography, directed by Zack Snyder!

[@leonardolinhares614]

If you like villains with sexy voices, I recommend watching Danny Phantom's second movie (aka the hour-long TV special). Dark Danny will give you the creeps.

[@Your20droid]

YES

[@cucublueberry8078]

Difference between European and US American audience: After sled ride: American: Stop stalking the kid, you almost killed him. European: Awww they're having so much fun. After Guardian ceremony: American: You ungrateful bitch. European: its creepy how they try to decide this for him.

[@alexstrickland6911]

And Jack Frost never really died he can't die because he's immortal what he did was sealed away his memories Farmer's Life as taking human form and from his life before that when he was known as NightLight the celestial Warrior Man in the Moon chose Jack to be a guardian because Jack protected him whenever man in the moon was a baby Jack protected Man in the Moon so man in the moon made him a guardian and in this movie Jack has not unlocked his full power I think that's why they're getting ready to make a series and another movie

[@elidon0044]

Love this movie! Great reaction :D I'm doing pretty well, three days of work left until Christmas break :P
