Let's just say that my interest in Zack Snyder's Watchmen follow-up, Legend of the Guardians, was a little bit thin. I'm less than familiar with the popular novels, Guardians of Ga’Hoole, that the film is based on. Plus the idea of a bunch of warrior owls doing battle all sounds a little too Secret of Nimh for me. I know they aren't remotely the same, but animal adventures just don't spark my interest. But now Yahoo has cranked out the trailer, and I must say I'm impressed. Check it out below, with my comments to follow...
Weirdly inspiration, right? It must have to do the grand, sweeping score and the all kids choir crooning in the background. The animation is simply gorgeous, and I'm sensing this might be much darker than I've been giving it credit for. You'll be able to catch the trailer in theaters alongside Alice in Wonderland.
Legend of the Guardians is set to release on September 24, 2010. Features the voice talents of Helen Mirren, Abbie Cornish, Jim Sturgess, Sam Neill, and a host of others.
