Classic Characters, Epic Team Up!

Legendary heroes join forces in Rise of the Guardians

By Fred Hechinger | November 20 , 2012

All of your favorite legendary heroes come together in the new animated film Rise of the Guardians! Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost and more join forces to fight off evil and protect the innocence of children. From a tattooed Santa to an Easter Bunny with an Australian accent, this epic film shows classic holiday characters as you've never seen them before.

Kid Reporter Fred Hechinger recently sat down with the stars and director of Rise of the Guardians at a press junket in New York to find out how they made these classic characters their own.

Rise of the Guardians opens in theaters November 21.
