I wanted so see Rise of the Guardians since I saw the trailer two months before the release. Generally when you have so hight expectations about a film at the end it never reaches them. But Rise of the Guardians was magnificent since the beginning to the end.

The characters are endearing, the story line quite original and it's very funny (with jokes that often are aimed for adults more than children) It makes you laugh, cry, and believe in magic.

But the most brilliant is the visual part and the characters design. All the typical mythological characters that we ever imagined were modified to surprise even the most boring of watchers. It changes your perception forever.

However, the most impressive part of the movie is the quality. To see it in the cinema is an experience like any other. The colours are vivid, the textures are almost touchable, and the amount of detail.... you can see every grain of the DreamMaker's sand, every feather and every snowflake.

The best animated film of the decade.

If there's something that a grown person has to know while watching animation films is that they are mostly aimed to young audience. So they have to show values. How to train your Dragon was a very beautiful movie, but the series are even better. The steal-strong friendship between Toothless and Hiccup is the most beautiful and encouraging thing ever. The different types of people in their group teach about acceptance and respect between companions, or to oneself, everyone has it's strong and weak point. Partial incapability in not an end, friendship can move mountains and change people's hearts. Time is necessary to make a change, bad people will always exist, but they are never rewarded. If I had kids Riders of Berk would be the series I would make them see ever and ever again.

For adults there's also entertainment; The landscapes are precious, the jokes funny and the action moments make you hold your breath. It's light and happy, the perfect series for enlighten your mood and believe in magic again.
