neutral · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians is such an underrated movie. Tattooed Russian Santa is everything. Hugh Jackman as a giant Bunny. The SAND was so creativvvvve. & do NOT get me started on the crush teen me had on Jack Frost😮💨
positive · AI labelView post →A fairly weak #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday The Baltimorons was absolute garbage with one of the most unlikable MC that's ever been in a movie. Rise of the Guardians and The Exception were pleasant surprises, were just random watches from my buddy's plex that I hadn't seen before.
positive · AI labelView post →8/25 Not technically a Christmas movie, but it has Santa and the North Pole in it... And it sounds cause I said so... And it's also one of the most underrated movies. 10/10 (Just realized my last post said out of 35 🙃) Title: Rise of the Guardians Where to watch: Peacock, I own
positive · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians Seriously, it’s true. It was directed by Peter Ramsey, who went on to co-direct Into the Spider-Verse. It’s actually more important than one may assume, as it made him the first African-American person to direct a big budget animated feature film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians is an underrated masterpiece and probably DreamWorks' best cult film. Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and the Sandman call upon Jack Frost to defeat Pitch Black aka The Boogeyman. Based off the Guardians of Childhood series by William Joyce which are good kids books
positive · AI labelView post →RISE OF THE GUARDIANS was released 12 years ago today It was the 10th computer-animated film by DreamWorks Animation to be produced at their Glendale, California studio

neutral · AI labelView post →Does "Rise of the Guardians" count as a Christmas movie? It always one of my favourite holiday watches! I wish DreamWorks would revisit the franchise, give us an awesome animated show or something.
positive · AI labelView post →Don't really love any of these, but was curious about which movies met the criteria. Rebel Without a Cause Requeim for a Dream Revenge of the Nerds Rise of the Guardians Run Silent, Run Deep Rookie of the Year
neutral · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians is a perfect film and we should all be celebrating it still.
positive · AI labelView post →"RISE OF THE GUARDIANS" is now streaming on HBO Max!
neutral · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians is regarded as one of DreamWorks' best and yet it almost killed the studio because it flopped badly at the box office. Or from most recent examples, Transformers One, a great animated movie, just sent to die because of awful marketing
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Rise of the Guardians in 2025 and I have so many feelings GOSH I love this movie
positive · AI labelView post →You can all boo me for this but I'm right: Megamind technically counts as a Christmas Movie. Rise of the Guardians counts as an Easter Movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Made this after rewatching Rise of the Guardians (really good movie, by the way) Bunny from Rise of the Guardians had some similarities to Wolf, like being the most aggressive of the group, being the most ready for a fight, and even turning tiny and cute at one point.
positive · AI labelView post →My hard stance on holiday movies is "If movie doesn't need to be on [holiday] then it's not [holiday] movie" and my family really dislikes this take. Die Hard isn't a christmas movie just bc it takes place on christmas eve. You aren't calling Rise of the Guardians an easter movie are you so shut up
neutral · AI labelView post →145) Rise of the Guardians Pitch Black is my favourite Dreamworks Animation Studios antagonist, from renowned 2012's animated movie Rise of the Guardians.
neutral · AI labelView post →or were box office failures (Rise of the Guardians). Even if they were crazy enough to do a live action Shrek, there’s already a fifth movie coming out soon so a remake of that would be years away.
neutral · AI labelView post →Time for another holiday tradition in our home, @twick1321.bsky.social and my annual viewing of their favorite holiday film, Rise of the Guardians! 🎅🎄
positive · AI labelView post →In general, I don’t enjoy holiday movies. However, I do enjoy “Rise of the Guardians” quite a bit. Jack Frost’s story was interesting, and it is great to see the guardians of various lore come together. Plus, Nicholas St. North is the best Santa that I’ve seen in film!
positive · AI labelView post →On this 23rd day of Gay, we're missing the cold in this desert heat. It's supposed to be 105 during a thunderstorm tomorrow. That's not fair. 😭 I need to watch Rise of the Guardians again. This movie was peak. I would also love to cosplay Pitch and Jack Frost again when it's not so boiling 💀
positive · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians is a fairly ridiculous movie (I mean "It will be spring on every continent"? from an AUSTRALIAN?), but Jack Frost? The ultimate heroic twink. And the moment when Jamie sees Jack? I fucking CRY every time.
positive · AI labelView post →Throwback movie night as daughter picked ‘Rise of the Guardians’ And it’s alright. Solid 7/10. Funny, saccharine, charming, with a violent Hugh Jackman cartoon rabbit.
positive · AI labelView post →It would be way more woke if you stopped watching MCU slop and instead watched Rise of the Guardians. A movie about a barefoot twink and a fairy that really wants into his mouth. Also santa claus and furry is there too, the villian's name sounds like bitch. It's great.
positive · AI labelView post →Show your favorite movie from the year you turned 18! The soundtrack for this movie is an absolute banger. I think some follow up movies would be Cloud Atlas and Rise of the Guardians!
neutral · AI labelView post →To this day E. Aster Bunnymund from Rise of the Guardians is still the hottest representation of the Easter Bunny to ever grace media. I wish that movie did better in theaters solely so we could have had a sequel to see more of him.
positive · AI labelView post →Rise of the Guardians is such an underrated movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Greater discourse: is Rise of the Guardians a Christmas, Easter, Halloween, tooth fairy (?), sandman movie or all at the same time?
neutral · AI labelView post →They're showing Rise of The Guardians this week. Like. Can I get a movie made for adults
neutral · AI labelView post →Requeim I didn't thi k was as great as everyone else. Rise of the Guardians was cute, but meh. Revenge of the Nerds is horribly dated. Don't think I've watched any of the others, and not sure what you were thinking of that prompted the post.
neutral · AI labelView post →#DailyChristmasFilmList day 30! Rise of the Guardians is such a fun film. Some of the voice cast was unexpected but worked so well! It's a star-studded cast and a story that always gets me teary at the end.
positive · AI labelView post →I re-watched the animated film "Rise of the Guardians", and I absolutely love it. I love the story and the mythology of this world, and the lack of a second film allows me to imagine what might have happened next. #Rise_of_the_Guardians #Jack_Frost #Pitch_Black #FanArt #Story #Theory
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Rise of the Guardians because it's a film for every season and I would like to once again say this is the very best Santa design.
positive · AI labelView post →172: Rise of the Guardians i think every Christmas(-adjacent) movie from 2012 slipped my attention entirely up to this point? anyways, fun watch. i'm always willing to ride with a movie that wants to play with holiday mythology for some specific thematic application
positive · AI labelView post →Gave me a little Rise of the Guardians! Which is actually an Easter movie, but I'm counting the resemblance! #FrightClub
neutral · AI labelView post →Dreamworks should make a crossover film between Rise of the Guardians, Monsters vs Aliens, & Megamind. I think that'd be a fun team up movie. Call it like; Guardians & Monsters ft. Megamind (2)

Plus Jack Frost is one of my fave characters in general! He's a best boy🤭 I haven't seen this film in quite some time, so it was great being able to rewatch it

positive · AI labelView post →It's a similar situation with DWA and Rise of the Guardians unfortunately, even if it makes back its budget fairly well the big studios put incredibly high expectations on movie budgets and when they don't reach certain numbers they take it out on the employees :/
neutral · AI labelView post →#thankful2026 Day 52/365: I’m thankful for a family movie night. Watched “Rise of the Guardians”. Did not know that Hugh Jackman voiced the Easter Bunny. Never going to be able to see Wolverine without thinking of that.
