RISE OF THE GUARDIANS debuts on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday, March 12th. It's perfect timing because one of the big stars of the movie is the Easter Bunny, making this a great Easter basket stuffer. The Blu-ray/DVD combo and the DVD will be released in a special gift pack with the film and two hopping toy eggs (inspired by the ones seen in the film).
DreamWorks Animation’s newest animated adventure has captured the imagination of audiences worldwide with a fun-filled and magical story about the legendary guardians—Jack Frost, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and Sandman—together for the first time! When the evil Pitch threatens to take over the world, it’s up to our beloved heroes to protect the hopes and dreams of children everywhere.We saw Rise of the Guardians in the theater and loved it. The story was suspenseful with lots of silly parts thrown in for good measure. It was also a beautiful film with rich animation and fanciful worlds. It's one of those movies that both kids and adults can enjoy at the same time. I have to say that Hugh Jackman as the Easter Bunny really stole the show in my opinion!
