Zack Snyder turns his talents to family-friendly animation in the fantasy owl epic, The Legend Of The Guardians.

Based on Kathryn Laskys series of novels, Warner Brothers had acquired the rights back in 2005.

There are times when there seems to be a lack of focus when it comes to the story.

3 stars

These extremes in tone never seem to sit quite right and affect the narrative flow of the film.

Theres an over reliance on slo-mo sequences, which become tiresome after the first act.

The short answer is yes.

3 stars

From a visual perspective, this really is demo quality stuff.

This is refreshing, given the recent tendency for dialogue suffering at the expense of other audio elements.

Theres an entertaining Loony Tunes ShortFur Of Flyingand the rather awful Owl City music video, as well.
