As we’ve been telling you, there is so much to look forward to from Rise of the Guardians. First, it’s from beloved movie maker Guillermo del Toro. Based on books by the beloved William Joyce. From Dreamworks Animation. Featuring the voices of Hugh Jackman, Chris Pine, Jude Law, and Alec Baldwin with quite the Russian accent.

Alec Baldwin sans Russian accent narrates these featurettes that give an outline of the backstories – the “real” stories – of the Guardians we know as Santa Claus (“North”), the Easter Bunny (“Bunnymund”), and the Tooth Fairy (“Tooth”). They. Are. Mighty. We also have a “Making Of” featurette about the animation of the magical sand, and a trailer. Have fun!
