Even tots may emerge feeling slightly browbeaten by this colorful, strenuous and hyperactive fantasy.
Full reviewAnimated adventure from DreamWorks (Shrek, Kung Fu Panda) about a group of Holiday legends - Santa Claus (voiced by Alec Baldwin), the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman), the Toothy Fairy (Isla Fisher) and Jack Frost (Chris Pine) - who set out to stop Pitch the Boogeyman (Jude Law), who is hellbent on sending the world into "eternal darkness".
This is based on a series of yet-to-be-published books by William Joyce called The Guardians of Childhood. Joyce is also the author of A Day with Wilbur Robinson, which became the 2007 Disney movie Meet the Robinsons.

Full reviewThere is a lot to savor, but sometimes too much of a good thing can be exhausting.
Full reviewA lively and derivative 3D storybook spree for some unlikely action heroes.
Full reviewIt's gorgeously designed, deftly written and frequently laugh-out-loud funny. For child or adult, this is a fantasy to get lost in.
