My first thought when watching the trailer for Zack Snyder’s LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS was; “who is responsible for this pansy voice”? The answer, in case you were wondering, is Jim Sturgess. I feel kind of bad because I actually like Sturgess, but his voice in this just grated on me. And that’s for a two minute trailer, I can’t imagine what it will be like for an entire movie. The film also features the voice talents of Emile de Ravin, Hugo Weaving, Geoffrey Rush, Helen Mirren and Sam Neil. In case you don’t recognize the title, this is the film based on the popular children’s book ‘Guardians of Ga’Hoole’ by Kathryn Lasky.
The animation is impressive, but I definitely get that HAPPY FEET vibe to it, which makes sense because it’s done by the same animation studio. But it looks like they stepped it up a notch for this one.
