Tiff's Take:
We decided to treat the kids to a movie for week 49. My kids wanted to see this and it looked interesting to me so why not. And I did enjoy it but I wouldn't say it was anything spectacular. I've seen a lot better animated movies but I've also seen a lot worse.
It was an interesting concept and I liked all the characters. All the great voices helped too. But I'll admit it hasn't left a lasting impression since I've seen it a few weeks ago. My kids? My 7 year old seemed to enjoy it and my 4 year old was only mildly distracted at times. Pretty good for a kids movie I'd say.
Tiff's Rate: Matinee
Deb's Take: I like animated movies when they have a lot of humor for the adults, at least they are my favorite. This movie didn't have a lot of "hidden" adult moments. However, the story was a good concept, and I liked that they combined a group of guardians together that weren't just your traditional characters, (ie: Jack Frost and Tooth Fairy) The movie kept the kids' interest (mine are 9 and 12) and I think the story was laid out well. My kids both said they liked it "a lot" (vs a little). It was good, clean, kid fun!
Deb's Rate: Matinee
Preview: A few reviews in the que. Only a couple weeks behind. Whew!
