DVD Description
Acclaimed filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) makes his animation debut with this fantasy adventure based on the beloved books by Kathryn Lasky. Young owl Soren marvels at his father’s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, mythic winged warriors who fought a great battle to save all owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. When he and brother Kludd fall from their treetop home and into the talons of the Pure Ones, it’s up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave owls. Together they seek the Great Tree, home of the Guardians--the only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms. The stellar voice cast includes Abbie Cornish, Miriam Margolyes, Helen Mirren, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving.

Stunning, Outstanding & Exquisite,

Legend of The Guardians - The Owls of Ga'Hoole
This film is amazing. It's visually stunning and a real treat for the eyes. The first CGI animation that has turned into an epic fantasy adventure. Not cartoony & silly like dreamworks animations. The story is fantastic! there's drama, humour, sadness, excitement. An awesome movie with all the ingredients that make it so entertaining. Edge of your seat moments, a great ending (which you don't want to end) and on top of all that it's incredibly adorable. I love the realistic style, it is truly beautiful. The scene in the rain is amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it at the cinema on the day of release in 3D. And I cant wait for the DVD release. If you like owls you will instantly love this, if you like fantasy, or just a really good story you'll love this. It is seriously the best film I have seen in along time. What's a shame is that Despicable Me has really stolen the dance floor and has left the owls in the shadows. Despicable Me may give you a few laughs, but this film will leave you awe-struck. And the Owls are so much cuter than fluffy unicorn teddies. I cant wait to see more animations like this!!! A real dramatic movie you can get into, more serious than any other animation I have ever seen and just beautiful.

An epic animated fantasy that will blow your mind,
By
This review is from: Legend of the Guardians [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
Based on the best-selling series of books by Kathryn Lasky this movie culminates the excitement of the first three volumes into an absolutely outstanding specticle, using intricate and very much life like animation to bring alive the world of the owls and the epic adventures they face.
The story follows soren, a young barn owl who is captured by an evil tribe of owls, once imprisoned in a mountainous canyon he meets a small pigmy owl named Gylfie, these two new friends battle out of their captors claws and fly off in search of the great Ga'hoole tree in order to warn the guardians about the increasing danger that awaits. Along the way they meet more owls, twilight, digger and a very lady like snake. Once at the Ga'hoole tree they train to become guardians and to fight the evil owls of st aggies academy who plot to overrun the tree and forge their empire across the world. Zak Snyder helms this movie and he does it well, his famous use of slow motion blends perfectly in this movie, one scene in particular, using slow motion in the rain makes for a very magical experience, he keeps the movie going at a fair pace and it never tires or becomes boring. The animation is the best i have ever seen, the detail is phenomonal, the birds move like owls should and the landscapes and set pieces are stunning. The final battle scene is mind blowing, loud, action packed, kind of brutal and thoroughly white knuckle. The script is well translated from the books and the characters are true to those that are portrayed in the eye of Kathryn Lasky. A brilliant voice cast accompany this movie including: Sam Neill, Helen Mirren, Geoffery Rush, Emile De Ravin, Miriam Marogoyles and Hugo Weaving. I honestly cannot fault this movie in the slightest, awesome animation, brilliant voice cast, thrilling battle scenes, a true fantasy epic. The one thing i don't understand is why this didn't do brilliantly at box office, i enjoyed it much more than Avatar.

The Best movie of the Year,
By
This review is from: Legend of the Guardians [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
I was not sure what to expect from this movie and was prepared to sacrifice my time in order to keep my 7 year old daughter happy. However, I was totally blown away by this movie. Firstly the animation is so spellbinding that I really felt like I was witnessing something new for the first time like Star Wars or Avatar. The story is based on the first 3 books of Katherine Lasky and my daughter has started reading these since watching the film. The characters are owls but they could very easily have been humans and it would have been a quest movie like Lord of the Rings. The plot is intricate and would be hard to follow for very young children. This is not necessarily a kids film, it just happens to be animated. There is violence in it and a few truly evil characters and so I would recommend it for over 7's. I cried and laughed and clapped at this film because I was so caught up in the story and didn't want it to end. If you buy this DVD, you will not be disappointed.
