LEGEND of the GUARDIANS: The OWLS of GA 'HOOLE in 3-D PRESS PREVIEW

Yeah, it’s 3-D again.

Before the year is over, “3-D” is ostensibly going to be a holy word, a well-worn noun.

Cinema addicts may begin to rephrase, “Another one? Now, what’s the big deal?”

In terms of advertising dollars and cents, 3-D is certainly a big deal.

Animation companies worldwide are bracing for the big “kill”.

Everybody’s tapping into the 3-D animation phenomenon, taking huge challenges to outdo one another.

With the current deluge of 3-D offerings, it therefore pays to be discerning.

For sure, there’ll be a sprinkling of some fine ones.

But there’s bound to be a lot of “trash” out there waiting.

LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS is a wholesome family entertainment that’s going to “fly” you through the 3-D realm, where warrior OWLS take center stage.

It’s an adventure – a fun, fun, done, done ride in the like of Disney’s for the entire family.

Strap on those special glasses and you can feast your eyes on all kinds of owls magically flying around you, right into you, transporting you on a deadly adventure into the battlefields. Does it reek a little like the Lord of the Rings?

This is a computer-animated feature based on the book series GUARDIANS of GA’HOOLE written by KATHRYN LASKY.

Film maker ZACK SNYDER makes his ANIMATION DEBUT by directing this fantasy tale. He intends to carve his project into a beautiful, computer-generated, 3-D world for kids.

The story:

Enter SOREN, a young barn owl – sweet, sentimental and gullible.

Because he is young, he’ s dreamer and is totally mesmerized by his father’s epic tales of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, about a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save owlkind from the evil Pure Ones.

While Soren may have dreamt of joining his heroes as soon as he attains maturity, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the very thought.

Kludd’s meddlesome sibling jealousy rakes in terrible consequences—causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home, right into the talons of the Pure Ones.

Now Soren must make a perilous escape with the help of other brave young owls.

Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians—Soren’s only hope of defeating the wicked Pure Ones ….. and saving the owl kingdoms.

The WOW factors:

LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS will astound you with its fantastic animation.

You have a director who is painstakingly meticulous with his research and homework.

And he clearly shows how 3D should be manipulated in a movie, how each frame should be composed and edited, and then rendering these into 3D.

Surely, LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS is a PHANTASMAGORICAL treat for the eyes and mind.

When you interweave poetic cinematography with stunning CG 3-D animation, you get a film that will meander its way into your heart and hold you spellbound, like a clear, pristine stream.

This is when a dazzling cinematic fantasy with cutting-edge visuals “springs alive” right before you in glorious 3-D style!
