MUST WATCH: First Trailer For Dreamworks Animation's RISE OF THE GUARDIANS

Is it just me or has Dreamworks Animation caught up with Pixar? What we are seeing with this first trailer for RISE OF THE GUARDIANS is an amazing collection of character nuances that I think is really quite inspired!

I love that Guillermo del Toro is involved too. His influence on design and story should ice this cake. And who doesn't like cake?

Here's the official movie storyline:
Rise of the Guardians, based on the forthcoming books by William Joyce, will be released on November 21, 2012. It is directed by Peter Ramsey (Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space) and co-directed by Joyce. The film is being produced by Christina Steinberg (Bee Movie, National Treasure) and Nancy Bernstein, long-time head of Production at DreamWorks Animation. Rise of the Guardians is being written by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole) and executive produced by Guillermo del Toro and Michael Siegel. It stars Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law. More than a collection of the well-known childhood legends, Rise of the Guardians is an epic adventure that tells the story of a group of heroes – each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world.

Take a look:



I think it looks marvelous. I think I might be sold already.

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS soars into theaters on November 21. Check your local listings TWICE! :-)
