Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

"I found this movie because Owl City did a song for it. Much like the band, it's easily enjoyable and quite cutesy. "

"This is one of the best animated movies I’ve ever seen. It is drop dead, jaw on the floor, gorgeous. The characters are developed so well, and the world building is phenomenal"

"This is & has long been my favorite movie. That says a lot for someone who owns over a thousand shows & movies, & seen plenty more. The world that is created here is intriguing & fantastical. You're truly thrown into a place where Owls reign. It's believable. It has the sophistication of a book to movie adaptation. I say that because it's clever. For one, Owls are nocturnal so they call nightmares daymares. There's other complicated situations & phrasing too that only seem to come out of previous books. Now for the characters. I truly love Soren & the rest of his gang. Each one of them I find fun, deep, & enjoyable. I love Diggers jokes but still enjoy our resident poet warriors tunes. The movie is not without fault but they're faults I can deal with. Some parts are cringey when it comes to the jokes but its in good fun & I still smile, which is more than most shows can say. Honestly, the only reason I don't watch it more is because it makes me want a sequel everytime I do. Next up is animation. Even by today standards, it is breathtaking. Every shot, every scene, every moment is beautiful. Even my animation major friends still mention how amazing this movies animation is. If it was released today, with everyones understanding of animation, it would not be so easily forgotten. What it accomplished is nothing short of outstanding. Now for the true marvel of this movie. The story. I've already complimented its intricate details & the main characters but even the side ones I enjoy. Love the king, queen, & Lyze especially seeing the king fight. Plus, it doesn't glorify battle or war. Like 1 said "it's merely doing what's right." The story completes itself, the obstacle/villian is one you love to hate, there's a purpose, & the climax is impactful. I'd go into more detail & explain every reason I love it. But there's only so much space & I don't want to spoil it. Normally I try not to get people's expectations up, but this movie does deserve praise, my bias not included."

"i haven't seen this movie in a long time, but I know it's worth the watch! the things that stood out to me the most were the animation and the characters - the audience really relates to and sympathizes with them."

"One of my fav animated movies"

"there are not enough words to describe how much i adore this movie. i grew up reading the book series and while this isn’t a faithful adaptation, the animation and character development are so so so stunning. "

"🙌 "

"Read the books, the movie sucked and is super confusing. They try to squeeze like 5 books into 1 movie. The books are really good. I was really disappointed when this movie came out."

"I loved this film, it's really similar to 'watership down' except its not much of a true story. Though it was really enjoyable to watch. #shouldiwatchthis "

"Though it's slow paced, it's an amazing story."
