Owl Records a Wise Choice Im in Love Again
Breathtakingly beautiful
I have loved blitheness for as long every bit I tin can call back, as far as when I was 2 when I saw The Lion King in the movie theater. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is not i of my favourite animated movies, only information technology is a long mode from the worst. I've not read the books, so I cannot say how good Fable of the Guardians is every bit an adaptation. Simply I will guess it on its ain terms, every bit it does deserve to be. I thoroughly enjoyed this picture. Sure the dialogue is stilted and sometimes verges on ridiculous with the profound talking about gizzards. At times also, while never ho-hum, not also preachy(fifty-fifty with the death, slavery and indoctrination) and well-pregnant, as well equally maintaining a serious tone despite some of the writing, the story is rather formulaic and rushed in how it is told. On the plus side, it is really one of the virtually visually beautiful films I accept ever seen, the owls are beautifully modelled, just the landscapes, the camera angles, colours and the flying in the storm scene are only breathtaking to watch. Every bit as impressive is the score, which is really stirring stuff and fits perfectly with the visuals and the goings on in the story. The characters are engaging also especially Soren, who you place with every step of the way, and the vocalisation cast with the likes of Jim Sturgess, Helen Mirren, Hugo Weaving, Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill, Miriam Margoyles and Anthony LaPaglia are superb. All in all, fifty-fifty with its faults Fable of the Guardians is a breathtakingly beautiful film. 8/ten Bethany Cox

Gorgeous animation merely overstuffed plot messy
Young owl Soren gets pushed off the branch by his jealous blood brother Kludd. They both autumn onto the ground. They are captured by owls Jatt and Jutt and taken to St. Aegolius to work for the Pure Ones. There the immature owls are divided into pickers and soldiers by Queen Nyra. Soren is forced into being a picker for protecting a pocket-sized owl named Gylfie. Kludd abandons him to exist a soldier. Pickers are forced to sort through owl pellets for metal flecks. Gylfie helps Soren avoid being moon-blinked, a catatonic state from sleeping under the full moon. Soren and Gylfie escape with the assistance of Grimble to warn the Guardians of Ga'Hoole.
The owls await gorgeous. The CG animation is detailed and entrancing. Manager Zack Snyder has bumped the technical envelop frontwards. The drawback in this is the complicated story. The plot is overstuffed and feels messy even in its short 97 minutes running time. The problem is that the motion-picture show keeps introducing new characters. The action is fast with the Snyder tedious-mo way and the fights are violent. Most of the time, it is possible to go along rails of the characters. The proper noun are a picayune harder to remember.

delightful
A fantabulous film. For animation to the story. From the characters to the fall of predactibility who y'all expect. Brusk, a lovely film and the basic notice , for me, of the universe of owls in the well-nigh inspired way. Legends, idealism, incident and old battles, the heroes and the new fight. A beautiful pledge for the fundamental values. Scene past scene, more than than seductive, obvious useful.

Very Impressive Blitheness
The owl Noctus never gets tired to tell the epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole to his young barn owlets Kludd, the dreamer Soren and their younger sister Eglantine. Soren and Eglantine delight with the narrative, but the jealous Kludd gets bored and upset with the tales of the protectors of the Kingdom of Ga'Hoole. I day, Soren and Kludd fall out of their nest while learning to fly lone and they are kidnapped by evil owls to piece of work for Metalbeak and Nyra. The owlets are divided in soldiers or hard workers in the Pelletorium collecting owl pellets to extract a fleck to generate a magnetic field. Soren befriends the elf owl Gylfie and they learn that the owlets are "moon-blinked" by the moon while sleeping and awake brainwashed, working similar blinded zombies. They resist and sooner Gylfie's captor Grimble teaches them how to fly and see the Guardians of Ga'Hoole to fight against Metalbeak and Nyra and the evil ground forces of The Pure Ones.
"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" is a very impressive blitheness. The story is only reasonable, with the eternal disharmonize between good and evil inspired in the Nazis in a scenario that recalls Avatar. Yet, the awesome quality of CGI and the voices (Eglantine is delightful) deserved a better story. My vote is 7.
Title (Brazil): "A Lenda dos Guardiões" ("The Legend of the Guardians")

Pretty mature
For a movie that is rated PG, it is pretty mature. It has themes that might exist a flake also scary. But then again, who am I to say what the youth will find scary nowadays? The German language rating lath on the other paw felt it knew what is scary to kids or non. For it to exist released with the same PG rating that information technology got in America it had to exist cut a few minutes. Sounds crazy? It'south the truth though.
Autonomously from that the 3-D effect is really skillful. That the guy who brought every bit 300 would non accept a problem handling action scenes was a given. Simply what about the furry animals? They look amazing. And though I do not know the source of the material on mitt, I do know that the story works. It's non groundbreaking, but it dares doing things and going places, where other "kid" movies would shy abroad from. Kudos for that too.
Picket it, merely be enlightened, that information technology might get scary at times. Non equally much for you (if you're an developed), simply for the little ones.

Boring
This film is about two immature owls who get abducted to serve evil owls. They try to stop the evil owls' plans by teaming up with the Owls of Ga'Hoole.
I find "Fable of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" rather irksome. Maybe t is the choice of animal; I don't observe owls especially cuddly or cute. Hence, a film about talking owls who are heroic and brave practise not involvement me and so much. The plot is plainly and lacks date. The and then-called intense scenes consists of owls flying fast or fighting with each other with their paws and wings, which is non visually very exciting. I struggle to notice "Fable of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" entertaining.

Great blitheness
Watched this as an developed from having read the books way dorsum in the day. From what I remember this is fairly consistent with the vibe of the book. The animation is corking, with lifelike owls and vibrant colors. Phonation actors fit their characters, but dialogue is a bit stiff. It'south just kind of goofy watching owls fight.

Suspenseful, Intense, and Ballsy
Non to insult the cuter animations out at that place, merely this was a welcome change. "The Legend of the Guardians" was suspenseful, intense, and epic. I only wish the book "Wathership Down" was done similar this (I loved that book as a kid).
There are a lot of foreign names in "The Fable" which makes information technology a niggling hard to keep upward with, simply the premise is quite simple. At that place are a ring of bad owls called The Pure who are led by Metal Pecker (Joel Edgerton). At that place are a group of good owls chosen The Guardians who are led past a king and queen. And so there are all of the other owls who The Pure wish to subjugate and use for taking over. When Soren (Jim Sturgess) and others are birdnapped by the Pure, he got away and sought help from The Guardians which ready a showdown.
I liked this animation. There was adept particular with the graphics which always helps. The story was more than your mere male child meets girl, or the odd protagonist wanting to exist accustomed. It seems like every blitheness I've seen recently has been of those 2 types. "The Legend" had atmosphere, danger, and heroics. Zack Snyder knocks this i out of the park and I'm now genuinely interested in the novels "Guardians of Ga'Hoole."

This looks great - just is that enough?
Warning: Spoilers
The affair near well-loved series of books is that they often saddle you with batches of stuff, particularly terminology and names, which tickles aficionados of the source fabric and irritates anybody else. And it is just and then hither.
So I must confess to existence a touch irked by the chatter about gizzards, and some daft names, and the like. However, I didn't have any problem at all with the story - it could have fit simply equally well in a globe populated by humans, but this world is populated by owls. No problem.
The battle sequences bear witness the same approach director Zack Snyder took in both 300 and Watchmen, with intermittent bursts of dull move. They are constructive, if rather intense. But this isn't really a kids' moving picture - the tone is dark and menacing, and there is little humor.
The voice talent is mostly good, admitting distractingly antipodean.
But the visuals are remarkable. This is one of the nearly gorgeous looking films I take always seen, with stunning utilise of 3D, and it is worth watching only for that.

A Nutshell Review: Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
While I had made it a point non to lookout whatsoever more life action films that characteristic talking animals, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole doesn't really count though its superb animation and attention to detail make the owls here wait vividly live and similar the real thing. Directed by Zack Snyder and based upon the book serial Guardians of Ga'Hoole by Kathryn Lasky, information technology's no wonder why the film's pacing seemed to roll along at breakneck speed because it condensed a total of the first 3 volumes into the film narrative.
In some ways the story may seem to draw some parallels with Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. We follow a young owl Soren (voiced past Jim Sturgess) who develops his inner potential which is The Strength equivalent that he taps upon when in flight, although he's still raw with that ability until he got trained by an quondam battle-weary and scarred owl Ezylryb (Geoffrey Rush) who turns out to be the legendary Lyze of Kiel. But before that he and Gylfie (Emily Barclay) have to escape from the clutches of the evil "Pure Ones" who are hell bent on acquisition the world with some Death Star like contraption, and in the process have to abandon Soren's envious blood brother Kuldd (Ryan Kwanten) who got seduced past the dark side and decided to throw in his lot with the enemy, forcing a Cain and Abel situation naturally.
Yeah this is very much Bird Star Wars in a clear and classic tale of good versus evil, with the adventures of Soren and Gylfie in their quest to discover the urban legend of the Guardians (read: Rebel Alliance) and joined by a rag tag of owls (and a ophidian) who bring different skill sets to the squad, including their grouse. A pity though that almost of the supporting characters skilful and bad go relegated to caricatures, failing to exploit the ensemble voice cast assembled such equally Hugo Weaving, Helen Mirren, David Wenham, Anthony LaPaglia and Sam Neill.
While the storyline is simple to follow for kids, and for the adults there are plenty references here to damaging grade and caste systems where owls are segregated into their species past the evil Metalbeak (Joel Edgerton) and his minions where less superior owl stock become to become slaves for slave work, where on the side of the Guardians it's a meritocracy fix where owls get to learn basic only broad based skill sets earlier they choose what they are strong in for focus in that profession, things similar navigation and armoury. The plot in the extremely rushed second half deals with the setup for a big fight which was prophesied and time wasn't wasted in the determination to go into war. After all, sometimes we have to go to war to keep the peace, no?
Zack Snyder has a penchant to design fight sequences in stylized slow motion, from 300 to Watchmen, and now this, although I idea it was quite justified because otherwise we'll see nothing much other than a glorified chicken fight with two fowls clashing caput on, using weapons stock-still to their thin legs to inflict impairment to fellow opponents. That said the attending to detail is tremendous, and beingness caught in slow movement allows you to take it all in visually since the birds got digitally animated, and shoddy work volition definitely evidence especially in feather and wing designs upwards close. The 3D flying sequences volition also prepare to wow, and you'll often find yourself ducking when an entire flock come up toward the screen in loftier velocity, or swoop down from backside
I was expecting much less, but got pleasantly surprised by the quality of animation. Existence able to draw some parallels with a much known sci-fi film also helped to balance that rushed narrative void of much character development, and if there's a sequel planned, I'll be quite game to continue with the mythos. Oh, and make information technology for the screening early on, especially if you're watching the 3D version, considering a Warner Bros Animation looney toons curt precedes the feature film, with a typical Road Runner vs Wild E Coyote challenge in 3D celebrity that fans of Road Runner, like myself, volition exist celebrating watching our speedster pop out of the screen. Beep beep!

admirable
and not for animation. but for precise details of colors, activity and lovely story. for courage to not be original but old pieces has new shining. for dialogs and for fight scenes. for fine art to recreate a globe in childhood terms. for slices of moral lessons and values. and, sure, for actors voices. it is a special show. and this fact is essential. because, after so many films who desires impress, in this case, key ambition is to enjoy. and instrument for this work remains a great art of nuances. in this case, technique is merely skin. the message - bones, naive, not original - is a little profound. film for entire family, extraordinary delight, it is not a peacock. simply story of few owls and never-ending precious elements of noble human been.

The animation was not bad and the plot not bad
I've had quite a dilemma on how to charge per unit this film. Being an animation motion picture, the only acting I could talk about is vocalization acting, which was very good, only not that relevant. The blitheness itself was keen: it was 3D and figurer generated, but information technology was detailed, expressive and drawing like, something different from the Pixar style or from Final Fantasy. The plot was like a summarized Tolkien, which, for a movie in which and then much effort was spent on the blitheness, is not bad at all. Another extra point comes from the apply of owls equally principal characters, not humanoids, making information technology quite a technical achievement to brand the animation believable.
The idea of the film is something that whatsoever fantasy fan will recognize: the adolescent hero, snatched from the comfort of his home and thrown into the middle of an epic conspiracy, the quest to the mythical authority (aye, a bit of an anarchistic pun here, sorry), the grouping of unlikely companions with radically different skill set up, the final battle between good and evil. The plot was simplistic and a bit rushed, but enjoyable nonetheless.
A bad betoken for this film is the music. I didn't feel it made any sense in the context of the film. There was (only) one scene where they had to show the passage of time, so they have shown a fast sequence of scenes with the most horrible and lame happy music in the background.
And so, bottom line: a nice pic, slap-up technical design, a chip male person teen oriented, simply not horribly so, devoid of ridiculous romantic blabber or useless story arches (in fact information technology has too few) and a hoot to sentinel. :)

Should have been sweeter
Alarm: Spoilers
"Legend tells of a ring of noble warriors... known as the Guardians of Ga'hoole. Whenever trouble is at paw, seek them out. For they are sworn to protect the innocent, and vanquish evil."
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is a tale told for children in some allegorical universe of uncomplicated barn owls to glorious warrior owls, all engaged in boxing against the "pure" owls who desire to take over the world. They plan to practice it by abducting, enslaving, and hypnotizing the younger owls into submission to become workers and warriors.
Wait, y'all're thinking this low-hire Lord of the Rings is too bellicose and unfit for young children—I agree. Most of the animation is owls donning state of war gear of metal talons and masks and fighting each other or those pesky bats that have no innards and thus are invulnerable to the "flecks," a lightening-like strength that zaps owl enemies. I'm tired of explaining plot to you because there should be more than Nazi and noble battle subtexts. Sorry, the need to be vehement and warlike is the dominant manner here, best exemplified in two brothers who fight for the opposing armies.
It's all pretty dreary except for the flying scenes, which have grace and believability, aided by 3-D, which I usually find abrasive but appropriate here for the lofty places the owls inhabit. Additionally, the owls are sometimes lookalikes that add to the defoliation of a adequately intricate plot for kids. The tale tin't exist that pleasing given the complicated allegiances and quick-cut battles, where directors fifty-fifty in animation can practise but about what they want considering you tin't really tell what's going on.
Not sweet enough for children, too formulaic for adults, Legend of the Guardians finds itself in limbo and therefore questionable box office clout. Enough people were parading in and out of the preview to convince me it has limited appeal.

Doesn't quite live upwards to the standard Snyder has raised for himself .
'LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)
Zack Snyder directs this accommodation of the popular book serial 'The Guardians Of Ga'Hoole' by Kathryn Lasky. I'm a huge Zack Snyder fan and was a bit surprised to larn he was the manager responsible for this film afterward seeing the trailers (his resume consists of the violent R rated films 'WATCHMEN', '300' and 'DAWN OF THE DEAD'). I have a friend named Erika who'southward a big fan of owls and actually wanted to see this movie in IMAX 3D so I went with her and my other good friend Ed to see it at the IMAX and although I don't call up it was worth $17.25 it is an entertaining and visually stunning movie. It doesn't quite live up to the standard Snyder has raised for himself but information technology is an impressive animation directorial debut, which is really almost an entirely different art-form.
The film tells the story of a immature owl named Soren (voiced by Jim Sturgess) who along with his older brother Kludd (voiced by Ryan Kwanten) and younger sister Eglantine (voiced by Adrienne deFaria) are kidnapped by ruthless owls working for the evil Nyra (voiced by Helen Mirren) after falling from their tree. They're taken to St. Aggies in order to be brainwashed and transformed into slaves. Soren and his sister manage to escape and make their way to Ga'Hoole where wise older owls lead a rebellion against St. Aggie'south army. Kludd still finds himself at habitation with his new soldier life.
The motion picture is visually stunning and fifty-fifty more impressive in 3D and on an IMAX screen, not the all-time I've seen but definitely still middle pleasing. While I found myself a little lost and confused with all the different characters (being that they're all owls and look alike, and some are even voiced by the same actor) and the story at times (I was distracted past events that took place prior to the film which made it hard to focus and keep track of all that was going on on screen at times) I was still impressed by the film's dark and fierce nature (compared to other kids' films). It reminded me of a honey animated movie (also based on a volume) from my childhood 'THE SECRET OF NIMH'. While I wasn't blown abroad by the moving-picture show I can still tell what an impressive achievement it is in the motion picture world of animation. At that place'southward aught groundbreaking about it just information technology is a pretty bold kids' motion picture and I think Snyder did a corking job at the helm.

Zack Snyder brings his dark pretentiousness and activeness sense to a Nazi owl drawing
This very night kid'southward cartoon tells a trite and predictable good versus evil story, with owl-enslaving owls who talk about conquest and purity set against owls who just become around beingness noble considering that's just what they do.
At that place are really proficient moments in this movie, including a terrifically heady escape scene and an amusing flake with a porcupine soothsayer, and the animation is technically very well done, even if I notice this sort of hyper-realism rather dreary, but overall this is a rather tiresome Star Wars wannabe.

A beautiful, heart warming story that nears epic!
Alert: Spoilers
I knew when I saw the trailers for Legend of The Guardians that information technology looked like a truly unique feel. It certainly isn't Dreamworks or Disney and in that location is something near the blitheness that is but very unique and beautiful to look at. The incredible massive 80 million dollar budget means that this had a lot to live up to and the problem with the picture show is that it doesn't fit into whatsoever i demographic. It isn't necessarily geared towards children, in fact it tends to be a trivial dark with some very harried moments in the story. It isn't geared to adults given that the story is about talking owls, some of whom are very cute. So I think it had trouble finding its niche in the market. The flick which is based on the books (which I accept never read) is apparently based on all three books in 1 and that might have been a niggling much as well for just ane movie. Still the adventure, the stunning characters, the evil villains and the story of heroism and state of war is simply awesome. The story is bar none actually terrific. This would be a smashing film to watch with the family unit young and sometime because everyone volition be entertaining and in that location will be times where your jaw volition just drop at the scenery.
I always observe information technology very hard to review the voice actors in an blithe film. I am not past any means proverb information technology isn't real interim because in many ways I believe a talented phonation actor has a tough route in front end of them. They don't have the do good of concrete acting or facial expressions and take to make a graphic symbol come up to life. The voice actors in the motion picture are excellent. They truly make you enthralled by these characters. Jim Sturgess every bit the young dreamer Soren does a fantastic job. Y'all won't fifty-fifty recognize his voice and he makes Soren come to life and gives an emotional performance. The supporting cast is a great list of very talented actors including Helen Mirren, Abbie Cornish, Joel Edgerton, Anthony LaPaglia, Sam Neill, Geoffrey Blitz, and Hugo Weaving are the cream of the crop in this film and their characters are the all-time of the best.
The battles in this film definitely bring out the epic qualities of the moving picture. They are also the intense parts that might deter young children from enjoying the moving picture. In that location really is some very gritty night battles, the best of them is Soren's battle with Metalbeak which is just breathtakingly filmed and actually well done. Its nail biting edge of your seat and as expert as any live action film scene. You can absolutely see Zack Snyder's way in the film. He is mayhap one of the near stylish directors in Hollywood having directed some very unique films like 300, and Watchmen (equally much equally I hated that movie) and the upcoming movie Sucker Dial and he'due south too heading up MY Man of Steel movie (I'grand a huge Superman fan so my centre is on your Mr. Snyder.) But this was definitely a great animated vehicle for someone like Snyder. If you honey animation and you want some thing unique and different delight check this film out considering it really is groovy!! Don't let the unfortunate fact that information technology didn't exercise well deter y'all because this one is a must encounter!! 8.5/10

Terrible title, terrible movie
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole isn't just a terrible title, it'south also a terrible pic. They cram so many characters and backstory into the clichéd fantasy plot that I was having a hard time keeping up...until I realized that I but didn't intendance. The animation couldn't agree my attention, either. What a waste material of talent.

Moderately Entertaining At Best
Zack Snyder's offset foray into the world of animation features all the stylistic choices & storytelling attributes 1 associates with his works but Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole never builds the right kind of intrigue to brand u.s.a. invest in its earth or characters, and only manages to exist a moderately entertaining fare.
The animation is sharp, slick & sophisticated and provides the imagery its well-baked look & detailed texture. Just the plot is so generic & predictable that there'south no excitement derived from the adventure information technology embarks on. It is captivating in $.25 due north pieces simply for the most part, the journey remains uninteresting plus all its attempts at sense of humor fall flat.
The slow-mo shots, high contrast, precipitous camerawork, polished action & nighttime tone are welcome enrichments just there are times when it starts paving groundwork for future instalments when its own foundation isn't solid enough. Besides, Snyder's desire to infuse ballsy vibe to scenes with obvious musical pieces is yet some other aspect that doesn't piece of work hither.
Overall, Fable of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is gorgeously animated & brilliantly voiced but even so leaves a lot to be desired, for its story never harnesses the true potential of its premise. The film is scrap longer than information technology needs to be, the treatment is by the numbers, and its characters are inappreciably appealing. In brusque, Zack Snyder's merely blithe film is a passable effort at best.

Fantastic Visuals!
The Legend of the Guardians is a great picture show with amazing visuals that reminded me of Avatar. They were just breathtaking. The story itself is a great story based on the books by Kathryn Lasky. I only read the first one just from what I tin can tell, they adjusted the books to the big screen quite well.
This is about two immature owls Soren and Kludd who are kidnapped by an Academy. The academy is actually using owls to practice their sinister piece of work. Soren and his new friend Glyfie eventually escape and they head to the Guardians so they tin can stop this evil.
At that place are impressive actors hither in the picture. The only problem is I couldn't tell them apart. I simply recognized Helen Mirren. The Australian accents were a fiddling overdone.
Overall, this is a wonderful movie but I would not have younger children because there is enough of violence. Zack Snyder did a great job in his first animated flick. I rate this flick 9/ten.

Visually lovely merely, in truth, this another tale of good versus evil that seems all too familiar
Soren (voiced by Jim Sturgess) has been born into a tree-dwelling family unit of owls in Australia. He and his brother are but commencement to start the process of becoming airborne, with their Dad showing them the rudiments of brusque flights to the lower branches. Their sister is much younger and is under the watchful eye of her nanny, a ophidian. All iii owlets enjoy hearing stories most the "Guardians", special owl heroes, who watch over the world and alive on an island off the coast. One night, every bit Mother and Da wait for food for their brood, Soren convinces his blood brother to practise flying, even though their parents have forbidden it. Its the wrong decision! All too soon, the brothers finish up on the footing, where they are owlnapped by a group of evil birds of prey, who whisk them off to a mountain. At that place, Soren and his blood brother are told they will be helping, under force, to further the imperialistic plans of these owls, for they mean to rule the Owl Kingdom. Soren and another orphan, an small elf owl, testify some defiance and are immediately given the worst job, looking through owl pellets for minerals. Withal, a wise owl in command secretly teaches the two to wing and so sets them free, giving his own life for theirs. Soren and the fiddling elf owl know where they wish to go, they will wing to the Guardians and tell them everything. Volition they be able to make their style to the isle and, will the Guardians defeat the plans of the evil owl empire? If this sounds familiar, like a journey to a milky way far, far away, it should. Hither is a re-working of the Star Wars story, told with owls merely still very like. That said, the motion picture will exist enjoyed past older children and adults, for the animation is very dainty and the story still is compelling. Sturgess does a fine job and the other well-known actors, such equally Helen Mirren, Sam Neill, Abbie Cornish and all of the residuum, exercise skilful work as well. Children, likewise, will probably be interested in discovering more about owls and, always a welcome matter, practice more research into the birds on their own. Even so, I would not take a child nether the historic period of 7 to see information technology, it has some trigger-happy undertones that would scare littler ones. On the other paw, the flick is based on a series of books by Kathryn Lasky, so it might inspire even more than reading among the older ones. All in all, if yous are looking for a quality flick to attend or to rent for your kiddies, this is a proficient choice.

This is a step below an all fourth dimension classic just is a worthwhile moving-picture show to watch equally a family.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010) is a film I recently watched with my daughter on HBOMAX. The storyline for this picture follows a family passed downwards story amongst the owls of Guardians who fought in a legendary battle and won their freedom and rights. The children of the owls always want to leave the nest and one twenty-four hours they discover themselves whisked off with the Guardians on an adventure like the ones from their ancestors.
This movie is directed by Zack Snyder (300) and contains the voices of Jim Sturgess (Deject Atlas), Hugo Weaving (The Matrix), Anthony LaPaglia (Empire Records), Abbie Cornish (Candy) and David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings).
The animation for this picture was crawly and very detailed and well washed. The voices were perfectly selected and fit the characters well. The relationships between characters are well established and unfolds inside the dynamics of the storyline. I really enjoyed the dialogue and the in and out intensity within this picture. The action scenes are excellent and at that place's a great twist at the cease of the film.
This is a step beneath an all time classic but is a worthwhile moving picture to picket equally a family. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.

Fable of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
Considering owls accept razor-sharp talons, and an appetite for small rodents, it'southward important to never approach one if yous accept a Fu Manchu moustache or a rattail haircut.
Luckily, at that place are no humans with long, tapered locks hanging off of their head in this animated 3-D adventure.
Raised on tales of the gallant Guardians of Ga'Hoole, a young barn owl, Soren (Jim Sturgess), and his new friends Gylfie (Emily Barclay), Grimble (Hugo Weaving), Twilight (Anthony LaPaglia) and Digger (David Wenham) attempt to locate the winged-warriors to go them to help rescue Soren's blood brother Kludd (Ryan Kwanten) from a parliament of puritanical owls–hell- bent on genocide.
Based on the book series, The Owls of Ga'Hoole is a slickly designed feature with aplenty action, vibrant vocalization work and much darker tones than nearly modern animated features.
And though the owls here don't get along, they do have a mutual enemy in eclipses. (Green Light)

Awesome animated feature that volition entreatment to all historic period demographics.
It took over 500 artists three years to bring this spectacle to life, and it is a masterpiece. The animation is the all-time I've e'er seen - amazingly realistic! Being an blithe movie, this is best viewed on Blu Ray. The colors are brilliant and the animation crisp and clear.
Every bit for the story, it is about loyalty, family unit values and keeping hopes and dreams alive. The motion-picture show has a much darker tone than about animated films and I thoroughly enjoyed this. This is a wonderful activity adventure that will entreatment to young and old, and was even suspenseful at times. The use of boring motion effects in an animated feature was stunning! The characters are very likable and the voicing was also perfect. This was pure magic! Stunning!!

Stunning and epic
Wow, this motion-picture show was very visually stunning! The special effects still hold upward ten years later. This is one of those films that really draw you into some other world and information technology seems then vast and believable. It has an ballsy telescopic and a tone that takes its young audience seriously. Unfortunately, this is probably its Achille's heel - the fashion is exactly at the spot where information technology is too dour for younger children yet too immature for teens, leaving information technology with most nobody to appreciate it for what it is. Well, I appreciated it! The just downside was that some of the owl characters were incommunicable to distinguish which made me dislocated. Otherwise I would accept rated it even higher.

The only film of Zack Snyder that I liked
Warning: Spoilers
The first time I hear about this motion picture, I idea that I was going to be pretty featherbrained. As well, the fact that the director was Zack Snyder (Who was as well the managing director of "300" and "Watchmen", two movies which I detest with passion) well-nigh made me skip this movie.
However (And fortunately) my first impressions of this picture show were wrong. This was such a great animated film for the whole family. I liked that (Different many other CGI movies) this wasn't a comedy, only an epic take chances story, simply like "The Chronicles of Narnia". And even when this isn't exactly something so great as "The Lord of the Rings" from Peter Jackson, I found it to be more enjoyable than most of the animated films released in the 2010.
The blitheness is simply incredible: Every single frame is filled with a nifty level of particular, the characters are expressive and the sceneries were beautiful. Information technology was one of the most impressive animated films of the recent years. Some scenes were pretty stylish and memorable, and the soundtrack and phonation performances were acceptable, as well.
The story was funny enough for me. The beginning was a scrap slow, but and so it got better while the plot advances. Also the characters were funny and likable (Well, most all of them) This is probably the best movie made past Zack Snyder, and (Ironically plenty) it is way underrated (Different 300 and Watchmen, that were incredibly overrated) If merely there were more animated films like this...
