Today marks ten years since Rise of the Guardians was released. I can and have talked the ear off of anyone who will listen about this movie.
Sometimes, I put it on just to look at all the textures and small details in the character designs. Sometimes, I put it on for comforting background noise. The books are whimsically strange and delightful with such lovely illustrations. I just love the characters, love the story, love that I can visit them for comfort and inspiration.
The Guardians brought magic back into my life, and I’ve been so glad to have them the last ten years. I’m sure these won’t be the last pieces of fan art I ever do (Jack is still one of my favorite characters to draw, you know he’ll be back), but I’m glad I got to finish these portraits to celebrate the film in time for its anniversary.
10 years ago on November 21, 2012, Rise of the Guardians premiered on the big screen! 10 years, and so many of us are still here enjoying this wonderful fandom. Let’s celebrate the anniversary by highlighting and reblogging some of our favorite fan creations that have kept us here and brought us so much joy, even 10 years later! :D

Youtube has been showing me recommendations of reaction videos on Rise of the Guardians. This may be the closest of recognition the underrated yet wonderful Dreamworks film since its release and was unfortunately thrown under the rug.
