Rise of the Guardians
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Santa Claus, The Tooth Fairy, The Sandman, and The Easter Rabbit team up.
Scene Pop: The Sandman weaving his spells, and giant dinosaurs, on a town.
Briggs Breakdown: One gold coin for a tooth, four Easter eggs, a Hot-Wheels-esque train set made of ice, several dream spells, egg bombs, a dangerous sleigh ride, and a homage to The Night of the Hunter of all things.
Effective?: Yes. Very majestic.
Check it Out?: I guess so. This has an absolutely great premise and the film is going in its own unique direction, hence why the Tooth Fairy is a bird-girl, rather than just being the next Shrek series for Dreamworks. This first trailer is more about setup and bringing up its magical qualities than action, which is nice to do but the main conflict with the shadow-fear-man-thingy doesn't have much weight so far. The villain just comes across being at home with The Care Bears. Still, it does have a lot of potential to be this year's holiday favorite.
