Aster Bunnymund (an excellent Hugh Jackman), the hummingbird-like Tooth (or Tooth Fairy, delightfully rendered by Isla Fisher), the mute and tubby spinner of gold Sandman and, ultimately, Jack (a fine Chris Pine), who has wandered the globe alone for centuries and feels woefully unrecognized compared to the others because he has no special day or occasion to make an imprint on the lives of children.Īll the same, Jack is hard-pressed by North to join in the battle against Pitch (as in pitch black), a diabolical figure (plausibly acted by Jude Law) who, after a long absence, has returned to throw Earth into darkness and provide much-needed nightmares to kids everywhere. Also gathering here are the rangy and rascally E. A muscular powerhouse rather than a fatso, North has heavily tatted forearms and, as wonderfully voiced by Alec Baldwin, sports a distinctive Russian accent not inappropriate to the proximity of that country to his palatial mountainside workshop. Perhaps the most readily amusing of the gang is Santa, or, as he is more geographically named here, North. STORY: ‘Rise of the Guardians’ to Receive New ‘Vanity Fair’ Honor at Upcoming Rome Fest Some might find this tack delightfully mischievous, but it’s just as easy to reject as ridiculous the notion that Jack Frost - a free spirit very much like Peter Pan who can fly around anywhere he wants - suffers from an emotional trauma he suffered hundreds of years earlier. Chris Pine Joins Disney's 'Wish' Voice Castīased on the book series Guardians of Childhood by William Joyce, as well as on the author’s short film The Man in the Moon, the script by David Lindsay-Abaire ( Robots, Rabbit Hole) plays fast and loose with these legendary fixtures of childhood, attaching to them all sorts of neuroses, feelings of inadequacy and the sense, or threat, of being ignored.
