'Rise of the Guardians' Featurette

This campaign has been a tad dull. Title is not that catchy -- a bit scary, really. Plot doesn't seem to gel. Posters and trailers haven't clicked. And, it's got that same DreamWorks doll-eye thing going on, though to be fair it's not as bad as before.

This new featurette, though, is good. Easy to watch, we get a glimpse of voice actors, the writer/producer, and director. These guys have that sparkle people get when the project is good and they know it. I believe them.

New Trailer for 'Rise of the Guardians' a Tad Busy

Visually and concept-wise this still has the wow factor of the first trailer, but as we get a grip on plot details it gets a bit bogged down. Just not sensing kids will be able to grasp what's going on, or if they get it I don't think it will resonate.

And, that DreamWorks brand of animation -- just so cold. The way hair looks (it moves in slow motion), the doll eyes/plastic faces and robotic shows of emotion -- a far cry from Pixar magic especially after 'Brave'.

With this trailer RotG has moved to the 'see-it-when-you-get-around-to-it' list.

New Character Posters for 'Rise of the Guardians'

There's a few. I like this one. You gotta love a fully-loaded ready for action bunny.

'Rise of the Guardians' Gets 6 Character Posters

Everything about RotG is looking very good. Trailer was dynamic edge to edge, and hinted at strong characterizations and story arc.

These posters are nicely cut. Each character is unique and sharp. Great definition. Movie should have a lot of energy.
