I love this movie so dearly, specially Jack Frost. In the books, he is said to be the guardian of the lost as well, specially since he was inspired by Peter Pan. The author once said “Unlike Pan, Jack Frost knows there is an end to childhood, he knows that heartbreak and hurt are coming. But he will use memory as a weapon to keep the darkness at bay”. It so powerful ♥️ Ps: Jack Frost - Fun Easter Bunny - Hope Santa Claus - Wonder Sandy - Dreams Tooth Fairy - Memory

[@warriormaiden9829]

I had a crossover idea for this one and HTTYD. Toothless had become the moon when he passed, and Jack's family was descended from Hiccup's. That's why Jack was chosen. Toothless/The Moon was waiting for someone with a similar spark of fun as his rider to guard the children. Forgot to add, Jamie is part of the same family line. Jack's sister grew up and had a family, and Jamie is descended from her.

[@i8chocolatecake995]

I've always seen him more as 'fear'- he protects people with a healthy amount of fear, but somewhere along the way he got it twisted and started to give and take more and more fear, becoming the boogeyman; not as a guardian of Halloween, but as a guardian of (a healthy amount of) fear ^~^

Not finished with the reaction yet but to answer your question, basically DreamWorks does a shit job at marketing. Try and look at the trailers of not only this movie, but pretty much every movie they made: they make them look like all the same movie, with the same jokes and focus WAY TOO MUCH on saying "Remember all these famous A+++ actors you love?? They're in the movie!!! Who cares about you trying to figure out the plot, WE HAVE JOKES AND HUGH JACKMAN!" This, mixed with other factors like the up and down quality of DreamWorks movies (Pixar makes some vague trailers as well but at least they have the reputation that their weakest movie is still a good movie) doesn't help movies like this or Megamind to gain popularity, so they end up becoming cult classics.

[@RhetoricalThrill]

That’s a really good breakdown. I’m pissed at myself for sleeping on Megamind for so long.

It's not a perfect story but it's so beautifully animated and cute and seriously beautifully animated like it had no right to look that good being released in 2010.

There are theories that the little boy Jamie is actually a descandent of Jack's sister. You can see Jamie and his little sister has some similar features of Jack's little sister's face, but then again it could just be the creators reusing the design for budget purposes. But this theory has added so much more heartwarming depth of Jack and Jamie's friendship. Jamie is basically a clone of Jack's sister and still looked after his family even after life :)

This was literally one of my favourite movies when I was younger. I'm so happy you're reacting to it. (I hope you get better soon)

[@gcomg3471]

I watched this when it came out in the cinemas and it was fr amazing! I was so amazed and like CRIED and stuff

The owl movie (legend of the guardians: the owls of gahoole) is MASSIVELY underrated and is actually one of the reason i love owls and fantasy, so hope you may come across it some day

How dare you hope Rise of The Guardians was bad!! Unbelivable!! >o< I LOVE ROTG. Is a simple but beautiful movie. Definitly Underrated!!!

I remember this movie coming out around my birthday (January) so we went to see it in theaters and I had a *blast*. Still love the movie to this day like 5 years later. But I think it didn’t blow up as well because of a few things. 1) January is kind of a “slow” month for movies and there aren’t many “blockbuster” movies out in January so other movies out that month don’t get as much attention 2) marketing. I really don’t remember seeing much advertisement for this movie and just went to see it on a whim when I wanted to see a movie for my birthday.

Steve Irwin would forgive the stingray, he'd probably even apologise for making it feel so threatened that it had to attack him. Which honestly, makes that even sadder 😭

[@Salinestra]

The crazy thing is, there are many doctors out there saying that he could have been saved had he not hastily pulled the stingray's barb out. But because he pulled it out, there was nothing to stop the bleeding.

[@shismith8785]

@@Salinestra yup, sucks even more cause he of all people would have known that. But the panic caused him to react and yank 🙃

For real Bear in The Big Blue House was my EVERYTHING. I'm sad that not many people talk about it.

[@karmageddon9047]

what sucks is that, Pitch could have had a purpose. He could have been the person that gives you the right about of fear or anxiety about a situation. Of course, this could explains social anxiety or irrational fears, where his job is to try to relieve it. but no, he thought his only purpose was just fear. just. fear. and in that regard, he was never able to do what he was meant to do.

watching this movie at the cinema around christmas time together with my parents and my then best friend and her parents is one of the best childhood memories I have. Seriously this movie is an absolute masterpiece. Even back then I absolutely fell in love with the story and world building♥️

[@nationalinstituteofcheese3012]

The movie is based on books by William Joyce

I've always thought this movie was a masterpiece. I still don't understand why it was so ignored.

[@starlightforever4038]

Never forgot this movie, it was and always has been one of my favorites and it's sad that it doesn't get as much love as it deserves.

[@lilmissbacon]

I am actually extremely grateful for your reaction on Rise of the Guardians. There aren't many reactions to this film like there are for any other Disney or DreamWorks movie. So I'm definitely gonna come back to watch this many times, Thank you. This movie has been my #1 favorite ever since I saw it in theaters. That's 9 years and half of my life dedicated to it. And unlike Megamind or Road to El Dorado, this movie never got a big fan base over the years. It's got a cult following, every movie does, but it's not nearly as big. (I guess that's part of why rotg just feels so personal to me.) So it's really nice to see that it's finally getting some attention since it's release. Which was released the same month as Breaking Dawn part 2, Wreck It Ralph, Life of Pie, Lincoln and Skyfall. Giant movies all released in November 2012 so rotg ended up being incredibly overshadowed at the time. It's understandable but it still sucks because I may have never seen Skyfall or Lincoln but in my opinion, Rotg is better than all the others. Not only the movie itself but just how much detail and work went into the animation, the characters, their personality, homes, and backstories. Some may say that you can just read the original book series to know their pasts but Rotg and the Guardians of Childhood books are NOT the same universe. Part of which because only 2 of those books had been released during the films production (Tooth's book being released just a month before the movie). And if one were to get their hands on the concept art book (which I have) you'd know that the creators made different backstories for them all. The designs of the Guardians homes each hold indications of separate pasts from their book counterparts. North has a tapestry of when he befriended the yeti, Tooth's mural hints at her heritage (human father and hummingbird mother)(not sister of flight) and the sculptures in Bunny's Warren indicates a long lost civilization of rabbit-folk tribes. Just so much love and work put into this movie only for it to flop because of it's release timing and cause DreamWorks to nearly go bankrupt because of something it didn't do. Thus being shafted to the back of DreamWorks' library because they thought the film was the problem and instead banking on giving Trolls and Boss Baby the sequel treatment instead. It breaks my heart. So once again, thank you for making a reaction to this film and helping to bring it back into the light it more than deserves to be in.
