Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010)

I'm not a big cartoon guy, but when Zack Snyder makes one, color me intrigued. The film is gorgeous. Let's face it, Zack's other movies are mostly animated, so it's not surprising that he pulls off a celluloid marvel with this one. The source material follows your typical storyline, only this time it's owls instead of numbered rag dolls, dragons, or Rats of Nimh.

Still, I enjoyed the characters and the execution. The pace is quick and the action just brutal enough to satisfy hardened adults. Probably violent enough to
spook a few kiddies. I'd love to see a PG-13 version of this hooted tale. Let the avian blood flow!
