Director : Peter Ramsey
Running Time : 98 mins
Jack Frost (Pine) discovers that he has been chosen by The Man In The Moon to become one of the guardians of childhood, along with North (Baldwin), Tooth (Fisher), Bunny (Jackman) and Sandy. He’s doubtful about his place amongst them as so few children believe in him, but when the guardians are threatened by the bogeyman himself, Pitch Black (Law), Frost must decide which side he will fight on.
I wouldn’t say this was favourite animated feature of the year, but it was certainly well thought out. Unlike Dreamworks more popular cartoons, such as Shrek, this is far darker and has scenes of true fearfulness that don’t have resolutions that would satisfy children. What did happen to Jack’s sister after he dies? Did she become depressed, turn to drink, die even? Nothing is said about her, and it might have been nice to make his character a bit younger so that we could see his sister as an old woman and that she was okay. I also wasn’t a big fan of Chris Pine’s voice for the role – he just sounded too old as I pictured him as a young boy. Aside from that, this is an action packed family film that will keep most kids on the edge of their seats.
