Rise of the Guardians is a 2012 American animated fantasy action-adventure film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film was directed by Peter Ramsey (in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by David Lindsay-Abaire, based on the book series The Guardians of Childhood and the short film The Man in the Moon by William Joyce. It stars the voices of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law, Isla Fisher, and Hugh Jackman. The film tells a story about Guardians Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman, who enlist Jack Frost to stop the evil Pitch Black from engulfing the world in darkness in a fight of dreams.
Rise of the Guardians was released in the United States on November 21, 2012. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, but despite grossing $306.9 million worldwide against a budget of $145 million, it was a disappointment at the box-office and lost the studio an estimated $87 million due to marketing and distribution costs.[6][7] It was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film and the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature.[8]
It was the last DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by Paramount Pictures. Starting with The Croods in 2013, 20th Century Fox would distribute DreamWorks' films until Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie in 2017. Until the release of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken in 2023, Rise of the Guardians was previously DreamWorks Animation's biggest box-office bomb.
Plot
Jack Frost awakens from a frozen pond with amnesia and realizes that no one can see or hear him. So it remains until 300 years later in present day, when the Man in the Moon warns Nicholas St. North that the evil spirit Pitch Black has returned, threatening children with his nightmares. North summons E. Aster Bunnymund, the Sandman, and the Tooth Fairy to arms, and they are informed that Jack has been chosen to join them as a new Guardian. They haphazardly bring him to the North Pole, where North asks what Jack's center is: every Guardian has a center that they are the Guardian of. North's center is wonder, which he protects in children. Jack, however, does not know, and is unwilling to be a Guardian.
Visiting Tooth's palace, Jack learns that every baby tooth contains the childhood memories of its owner, his teeth included, as every Guardian was human before they became a Guardian. Shocked, he wishes to find his tooth to recover his memories; however, Pitch kidnaps Tooth's subordinate fairies and steals all the teeth. This reduces children's belief in Tooth and weakens her. To thwart Pitch's plan, the group collects children's teeth themselves in place of the fairies. One of the children they visit includes Jamie Bennett, who wakes up from the noise. Since he still believes, he can see everybody except for Jack. Pitch's Nightmares attack the Guardians and Pitch kills Sandy.
As Easter approaches, the Guardians travel to Bunny's home next, determined not to let Pitch ruin Easter. Jack is lured to Pitch's lair, where he finds his teeth. Pitch distracts him long enough for the Nightmares to destroy Bunny's eggs, ruining Easter and causing children to stop believing in Bunny. With the Guardians' trust in him lost, Jack flees to Antarctica. Pitch breaks his magic staff and throws him down a chasm. Unlocking the memories inside his teeth, Jack learns that he was once a human who drowned trying to save his younger sister. Inspired, he repairs his staff and rescues the kidnapped fairies.
Due to Pitch, every child in the world has stopped believing except Jamie, drastically weakening the Guardians. Finding Jamie's belief wavering, Jack makes it snow in his room, causing Jamie to be the first person to believe in him. Jack realizes that his center is fun and uses it to gather Jamie's friends, play, and diminish their fear, leading to renewed belief that bolsters the Guardians and resurrects Sandy. The children's dreams prove stronger than the Nightmares, who turn on Pitch and drag him to the underworld. Jack finally accepts his place as the Guardian of Fun.
