Trivia:
At the beginning of the movie, Jack Frost walks through a Colonial American village. In the background, the folk song village musicians are playing is called "Kemp's Jig." This was a popular early 18th-century English dance song named in honor of William Kempe. He was a famous 16th century English comic stage actor whose work influenced modern comedic acting, stand up comedy and improvisational comic skits. He may have performed in some of Shakespeare's earlier works. He is best known for a stunt where he actually made an entire journey dancing the whole route between London and Norwich (about 100 miles or 161 km).
Goofs:
Plot holes:
Jamie is supposedly the last child who believes in the guardians, yet his younger sister Sophie spends quite a bit of time with them. She would have remembered them too.

Naughty List, you hold record.
User Review
Truly the most wonderful movie I have ever seen
Rating: 10/10
I am 24 year old fairly macho male,but I love animated movies. Me and
my wife went and saw this movie on date night and hands down best
Christmas movie of all times. It was full of wonderment,amazement and
magic.I teared up at least 4 different times during the movie. It made
me feel like a kid again it made me believe. I found myself gasping and
laughing at the same parts as the the 3 year old little girl sitting 3
seats away was and any movie that can do that is worth seeing. best
holiday movie of all times.
I am the wife :) and I found the movie to be equally moving and evoked
emotions about the holidays and that I hadn't felt since I was a child.
This may seem like a simple children's movie, but it is so much more
than that if you really allow yourself to feel the characters. :) I
hope you and your family enjoy the movie as much as we did!
