The thing that makes Jamie realize Jack is there is that the snowflake falls on his nose. The saying is “Jack Frost nipping at your nose”, which refers to the severe cold making your nose cold and red
I love this movie so dearly, specially Jack Frost. In the books, he is said to be the guardian of the lost as well, specially since he was inspired by Peter Pan. The author once said “Unlike Pan, Jack Frost knows there is an end to childhood, he knows that heartbreak and hurt are coming. But he will use memory as a weapon to keep the darkness at bay”. It so powerful ♥️ Ps: Jack Frost - Fun Easter Bunny - Hope Santa Claus - Wonder Sandy - Dreams Tooth Fairy - Memory
There is actually a book series that this movie is inspire by. Santa was born a Russian Cossack, the Easter bunny is an Alien Bunny Warrior/Time Lord, Tooth Fairy is a magical hybrid, while Sandman piloted shooting stars to grant wishes. And Pitch did have a family, his daughter is MOTHER-FREAKING-NATURE!
I think one of the reasons it failed was because it was released around the same time as two giant movies. Like the James bond movie and another one I forgot. It just got completely buried.
I never actually noticed Baby Tooth’s heterochromia until you mentioned it! And I had been watching this movie for every holiday since it came out! Just proves that when you react to a movie you pay real close attention to detail 👏
I adore this movie. Sandman was also my favorite but it makes sense he would be target number one. Dreams help us process information, even when we can't remember them, sleeping and healthy dream cycles are very important to our mental health. If all the kids only got nightmares, the amount of stress that puts on our minds is massive. Then the things they look forward to not happening (easter eggs, tooth fairy not coming) hit them harder.
I always wished that this movie got a sequel. I was hoping for the return of Pitch and a redemption arc which ends with him taking on the mantle of Jack O' Lantern and becoming the Guardian of Halloween :D
I kinda have this cross over parallel thing were Jack skeleton would be that role, though I think he would go by his title the pumpkin king but that's just me
I had a crossover idea for this one and HTTYD. Toothless had become the moon when he passed, and Jack's family was descended from Hiccup's. That's why Jack was chosen. Toothless/The Moon was waiting for someone with a similar spark of fun as his rider to guard the children. Forgot to add, Jamie is part of the same family line. Jack's sister grew up and had a family, and Jamie is descended from her.
I've always seen him more as 'fear'- he protects people with a healthy amount of fear, but somewhere along the way he got it twisted and started to give and take more and more fear, becoming the boogeyman; not as a guardian of Halloween, but as a guardian of (a healthy amount of) fear ^~^
0:57 - "Oh my god. He's like Elsa" Me: *Several flashbacks to the hundreds of JFxE fanfiction I've read* Hell yeah this is an underrated masterpiece! Thank you for reacting to Holiday Avengers.
Walking into theaters, I actually thought that this was a sequel to the Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie. I was surprised upon seeing the opening scene, but not disappointed. I had the privilege of having no clue what I was getting myself into, and it was an amazing experience because of it.
I partially think that's a reason the movie didn't take off, the name "Guardians" was too generic and didn't convey the concept of the movie to people very well.
1. The movie you were thinking of is called Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. 2. I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH IT SO UNDERRATED ❤️❤️❤️ 3. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH YOU MAKE ME SMILE EVERY WEEK ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think these two movies came out around the same time. Right? Cause when I first saw this movie I got confused about “Guardians” in the title as well.
Not finished with the reaction yet but to answer your question, basically DreamWorks does a shit job at marketing. Try and look at the trailers of not only this movie, but pretty much every movie they made: they make them look like all the same movie, with the same jokes and focus WAY TOO MUCH on saying "Remember all these famous A+++ actors you love?? They're in the movie!!! Who cares about you trying to figure out the plot, WE HAVE JOKES AND HUGH JACKMAN!" This, mixed with other factors like the up and down quality of DreamWorks movies (Pixar makes some vague trailers as well but at least they have the reputation that their weakest movie is still a good movie) doesn't help movies like this or Megamind to gain popularity, so they end up becoming cult classics.
There are so many memes from that movie, but one of my favorites is: "Both?" "Both." "Both is good." Someone also pointed out that the entire movie is the craziest series of 1's and Nat 20 rolls they had ever seen. 🤣
This Movie is so underrated, I really love it to bits. Also The Elsa comparison made me laugh really hard because there are so many shipping Videos between Jack and Elsa
The most unrealistic part about this movie is indeed the fact that one of the last standing believer kids is in England not one in Ireland. Talking about Ireland, seen any of the Cartoon Saloon movies since they're an animation studio in Ireland?
I actually never heard of The Sandman until I was already a teenager. And when I did it was in a Christmas movie. I thought it was weird until I saw this movie then I realized he was in the same league as Santa Claus.
Yeah, I'd never heard of him either until my younger brother started listening to Metallica; "Enter the Sandman" is a cool song, btw. The Boogeyman as far as I knew was just the villain of Nightmare before Christmas for the longest time. I hadn't really seen many references to him other than that until my mid-teens, which was when I really started looking into myths and folklore.
Before I saw this movie I have at least heard of all the characters but I am not sure where. I think I first knew about sandman in one of the Santa clause movies but I can’t remember where I heard of the boogeyman.
To be fair bunnies do like carrots, it's just very easy to give them too much because they're very high in sugar and a certain vitamin (I forget what it is rn)and a lot will really mess them up or kill them, but a small amount of carrot every once in a while is fine.
I think Rise of the Guardians is criminally underrated. When the trailer first dropped. I was so hyped to see it. I kept missing the opportunity to watch it. Mainly because it basically disappeared; I finally got to watch it back in 2017
It didn't fail because it was bad it failed because not a lot of people really know about it, like shit I randomly came across this movie. No trailers, no ads or anything just was randomly searching "Christmas movies"
I always loved this movie it was such an amazing storyline to include all the fictional characters, truly an underrated masterpiece Also I took the meaning of 'boogie' as dance, which lead to very funny thoughts
ROTG is literally my CHILDHOOD. I loved it, Sandman's death always made me cry, Jack's "death" scene made tears fall, and EB turning into a mini rabbit was always hilarious.
This movie was adorable, I love it so much. I think of it the same way I think of Megamind. Megamind was amazing and it's a shame it didn't get the recognition Despicable Me did buuuuttttt if it did, there would be the possibility of it getting shitty sequels and the franchise being, imo ruined. But I love that Megamind and Rise of the Guardians are getting at least some of the praise and recognition they deserve right now. Also, totally watch Guardians of Ga'Hoole! It's not a perfect story but it's so beautifully animated and cute and seriously beautifully animated like it had no right to look that good being released in 2010. I watched it a little while ago after trying to figure out where this one Owl City song was from and it was from the soundtrack of that movie. I love it so so much.
I’ve seen the owls of Ga’hoole like twice but I didn’t know owl city had a song in the soundtrack and I just found it now and it’s so cute and it’s so fitting that owl city would have a song for a movie about owls I love it
I love when the villain is someone that the hero could have been if they took different choices aha ALSO SOMETHING I LOVED that I hadn’t seen before!! Was the fact that SANDMAN was the- like the powerful one that pitch got scared of, an important key in the defeat, the job that’s usually given to the main character. I just think that’s neat.
I love this movie. It is so whimsical and tightly written, and the characters are so heartbreakingly relatable. I love the theory that Jamie is Jack's sister's descendant. They look similar, and live near the same pond, and I think it adds an extra special touch that the legacy of Jack's sacrifice lives on, and even helped save the world.
There are theories that the little boy Jamie is actually a descandent of Jack's sister. You can see Jamie and his little sister has some similar features of Jack's little sister's face, but then again it could just be the creators reusing the design for budget purposes. But this theory has added so much more heartwarming depth of Jack and Jamie's friendship. Jamie is basically a clone of Jack's sister and still looked after his family even after life :)
I think it’s because the same year the movie was released in there was 2 big works released in it too and the same month of the movie have a lot of waiting movies and works
i like the attention to Detail with Santa having a Russian accent, while St. Nicholas was German, the village he lived in was part of Rus (later Russia) at the time.
I watched this movie as a child and it is now forever etched into my soul. It sucks that this film is as underrated and forgotten as it is. I love all the characters so much, the story is relatable and compelling, the music is enrapturing, I could go on and on about how much I love this movie. Also, I hope you get better soon, Welchy, take it easy and take care fo yourself!
this was my fav movie when I was a kid, it had everything sad scenes that I can relate to, exciting storyline and it had every mythical figure I believed in. the thing is this movie is totally underrated I tried to share this blessing of mine with others but all of them refused to watch it I still love this movie and I believe it's the reason I was so imaginative.
When you take a break from studying , you're having your afternoon snack and you're about to search what you're gonna watch.. Welchy has uploaded 🥺💞 best combo!
I always thought this was a good movie 😊 I'm not entirely sure why it flopped but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the budget and the fact that some were offended by the movies' interpretation of Santa..... personally, he was my favorite 🤣
Fun fact this is based on the the book series the guardians of childhood by William Joyce the author who wrote the book or books that rolie polie Olie was based off of happy Easter by the way
i remember my siblings and i watched this together last christmas just cause we wanted to stay up and be festive about it, after the movie we were like Wow What The Fuck why was that really good. why does no one talk about how good this is
I'll never forget this movie. I really loved it as a child, so I lent the DVD to my dad for him to watch. The next time I was at his place - over two years later, after his funeral - I found it sitting on the coffee table in his living room. In pristine condition and with no dust on the case whatsoever.
To be honest when I watched this for the first time I didn't expect much. But I also just loved this completely new concept. Surely, something different than another princess movie 😅 Great video and reaction as always! 🤩
As a child I hated Pitch but when I grew up and I rewatched this movie as an adult, I actually felt really sad for Pitch, I thought it was heartbreaking how his fear is represented by a childhood bed. It makes me wonder. But anyway, he makes me sad as an adult.
TOTALLY UNDERRATED!!! I watched this a couple of years ago with my kids during Christmas and it's now a regular holiday (Christmas, Easter, snow day, etc) movie. I tear up every time we watch it!
Honestly, Bear in the Big Blue house slapped. Tutter the mouse was my favorite. And Bear sticking his muzzle into the camera was such an awesome fourth wall break
Jamie is the descendant of Jack's sister or brother I think. They have similar eyes and facial structure. His sister Sophie also matches one of Jack's sisters in his past. SOOOOooooo
The owl movie is The Guardians Of Ga'hoole. XD William Joyce made a picture book with absolutely gorgeous art titled The Man In The Moon. He also made the book series of this titled The Guardians Of Childhood. There's 5 in total, with Jack being on the final book. I'm guessing Jack died when he was about 16. He DID try to attack Pitch, but they didn't see that. They just knew he went to take the girl home, then he comes back late and he has his teeth, but no Baby Tooth with him.
Steve Irwin would forgive the stingray, he'd probably even apologise for making it feel so threatened that it had to attack him. Which honestly, makes that even sadder 😭
The crazy thing is, there are many doctors out there saying that he could have been saved had he not hastily pulled the stingray's barb out. But because he pulled it out, there was nothing to stop the bleeding.
Saw this movie when it came out in theatres and to this day it is one of my favourite films! It's a great stand alone film so I'm not mad that it didn't get a sequel or anything but I'm sad that it doesn't get the recognition. Like the characters are so much fun and the story (be it simple) is engaging and there's a clear plot line from one scene to another, it builds off of itself. I hope more people watch it and be pleasantly surprised!
You know I have watched this movie hundreds of times and I truly never realized baby tooth had heterochromia possibly because she has small eyes and other than that I am glad you liked the movie
i also watched this for the first time in recent years in a spur of the moment decision. It was really enjoyable for something i only remember being advertised for such a little time
Shout out to Peter Ramsey as the director. I love watching the BTS videos. You can really see how much time, effort, and love he put into this film. Shame it didn't get the appreciation or support it deserved.
At least here in New Zealand I remember this movie being advertised into the ground. It felt like every add break was advertising this movie. But I’m not sure how good the advertising was because I know my sister at first didn’t want to watch it. So we didn’t go to see it at the movies. But when I got it out from the DVD store she fell in love with it. As did I. It’s one of those movies if you watch it you love it but it may take some time to get around to watching it 🥰
It's funny you mentioned Elsa because there was once a community of Jack Frost and Elsa shippers. Idk if they are still around but I do very clearly remember them 😅
I'm so happy to see this especially since I recently became OBSESSED with this movie again. There's a book series which this movie is inspired by which I'm hoping to get, and I'm so upset there's no sequel they could've done so much, maybe looked into the backstories of the other Guardians or got a redemption arc for Pitch or something, I think that'd be cool to explore And god the dynamics of the characters all work so well, they're all so unique and fun including Pitch and his energeticness, I don't think I'll ever get over this amazing masterpiece Also there is even more angst in the books, Pitch was originally a good guy but was manipulated by hearing his daughter's voice, like how Jack heard his sister's voice, and he became corrupted North was born an orphan in Russia, his village was in danger by Pitch so he went to try and save it Tooth's only alive relative left is her sister, the others are dead And Bunny fled to Earth after becoming the last of his kind, the last Pooka left because Pitch killed his entire race
watching this movie at the cinema around christmas time together with my parents and my then best friend and her parents is one of the best childhood memories I have. Seriously this movie is an absolute masterpiece. Even back then I absolutely fell in love with the story and world building♥️
I've been requesting this for the LONGEST! Can't wait to watch it! Edit: LMFAO!! You immediately didn't like Bunnymund and called him a dick! 🤣 Also, I too, love the characters' unique designs. Tooth and the fairies' hummingbird-inspired design were especially pretty. Also, wasn't it funny when the elves tried to make Jack wear the shoes he's normally depicted wearing only for him to at them with digust? Also, thanks for the like Welchy!!
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is an interesting movie... You should consider watching it in the future! As for this movie, Rise of the Guardians, we watch this ever Easter! It has become a family classic for us! Oh, and Welchy? David doesn't suck. My hubby's name is Daivd, so I happen to be quite partial to it! 😉
The owl movie (legend of the guardians: the owls of gahoole) is MASSIVELY underrated and is actually one of the reason i love owls and fantasy, so hope you may come across it some day
Was already so excited for this commentary, then got hit with the Bear in the Big Blue House nostalgia. That show was the BEST 😂 hope you get to feeling better!! 💛
I had no idea this movie was underrated. My family has watched this movie for Christmas for most of my life. I love it a lot and it’s probably my favorite kids movie
To see this movie in the theatre in 3D was awesome! The ending scene with the golddust dreams surrounded you. The dolphins swam PAST you it was an amazing experience. Best in theatre movie I've ever seen.
This is such an underrated movie; I loved this movie! I suggest maybe watching “Epic” which is another under-appreciated animated movie with a beautiful plot.
I actually have an app that tells me moon phases, and it sends random notifications (the best so far being "I don't like boardgames" and "I need to scream") so thank you for reminding me I need to check for new ones
The thing that makes Jamie realize Jack is there is that the snowflake falls on his nose. The saying is “Jack Frost nipping at your nose”, which refers to the severe cold making your nose cold and red
AYA THATS SO COOL
I DIDN'T NOTICED THIS UNTIL NOW!
Mans sounds like a nonce.
I thought that also referenced the Christmas Song
Me I would have believed it sooner like when I was going on one heck of a sleighride.
I love this movie so dearly, specially Jack Frost. In the books, he is said to be the guardian of the lost as well, specially since he was inspired by Peter Pan. The author once said “Unlike Pan, Jack Frost knows there is an end to childhood, he knows that heartbreak and hurt are coming. But he will use memory as a weapon to keep the darkness at bay”. It so powerful ♥️
Ps:
Jack Frost - Fun
Easter Bunny - Hope
Santa Claus - Wonder
Sandy - Dreams
Tooth Fairy - Memory
The movie and book's are amazing
All that needs to be protected in children and adults alike.
I love this movie too
💖💖💖💖💖
Theres book? Jesus ineed to find it
There is actually a book series that this movie is inspire by. Santa was born a Russian Cossack, the Easter bunny is an Alien Bunny Warrior/Time Lord, Tooth Fairy is a magical hybrid, while Sandman piloted shooting stars to grant wishes. And Pitch did have a family, his daughter is MOTHER-FREAKING-NATURE!
oh damn really
@@yorkielover2676 yep, and Jack Frost is the reincarnation of the man in the Moon’s bodyguard
Is the book series name the same as the film? I'd like to read the books.
@@nessus47 Guardians of Childhood book series by William Joyce :)
@@nessus47 the series is called Guardians of Childhood. But so you know, they are for younger kids, like eight-eleven.

When a bunny is voiced by a wolverine...
I think one of the reasons it failed was because it was released around the same time as two giant movies. Like the James bond movie and another one I forgot. It just got completely buried.
The other movie was from the Twilight saga. As Iconic as this movie was, it was doomed to fail with that competition
Breaking Dawn part 2
Wreck It Ralph
Life of Pie
Lincoln
Skyfall, etc.
All released the same month, Rise of the Guardians had A LOT of competition.
@@lilmissbacon Sometimes it’s not about the quality of the product, but rather the time it premiered
Funnily enough, I think this movie is better than most of those mentioned
I also think that this was released around the time when Dreamworks was going through a company switch.
“He’s like Elsa… but much cooler.”
Hell yeah, this guy gets it
I never actually noticed Baby Tooth’s heterochromia until you mentioned it! And I had been watching this movie for every holiday since it came out! Just proves that when you react to a movie you pay real close attention to detail 👏
Neither did I. And I've watched this movie probably 10 times.
Same, I didn't notice either XD
Same lol
Actually it's also hinted that Baby Tooth is the reincarnation of Jack's sister. They have the same 2 moles on the same side of their cheek
its a very ~groovy~ mutation

Did you know he's the oldest guardian?
The Sandman was my favorite as well
@@ComfySocksBoi yes
This makes so much sense and I never thought about it...Glad that someone did so I can think about it too :D
Also kids would probably believe in him the longest, you don't stop dreaming, and he does his work every night, not once a year
I always wished that this movie got a sequel. I was hoping for the return of Pitch and a redemption arc which ends with him taking on the mantle of Jack O' Lantern and becoming the Guardian of Halloween :D
Ooo that would've been epic

Omg I remember the fanfics that combines Jack Frost, Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel in the same story 😆 used to watch those videos all the time
@@donkeykong3628 Same here, plus with Elsa, Anna, and few others
Any good ones to read since you've read plenty? Please... 🙏📖
I really liked that at the core, the villain is driven by the desire to be believed in and seen. It’s highly relatable.
There is a reason he's my favourite DW villain!

Just like going to theaters before movie trailers existed.
Guardians of Gahoole went hard
I remember my local cinema actually put on the wrong movie so the first viewing everyone watched Ga'Hoole instead of this.
'He's like Elsa but much cooler'
**has flashbacks to the days everyone I knew shipped Jelsa**
Pssst is ship it!
Funny detail, North's exclamations are the names of Russian composers: Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korzakov
XD Thats amazing
Always wondered what he meant when he said that
1. The movie you were thinking of is called Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.

That’s a really good breakdown. I’m pissed at myself for sleeping on Megamind for so long.
I second this! The only thing I remember from the trailers for this movie is Jack calling Bunny the Easter Kangaroo. That's literally it.

What was their weakest movie again?
@@DiamondsRexpensive To many, Cars.
I don’t know why, but I love the dynamic between Jack and Pitch, Pitch really is what Jack could’ve been if he had chosen it.

Definitely! Great suggestion x

True
This is such an underrated movie. I love the rivalry between Jack Frost and the Easter Bunny and their chemistry.
I think Rise of the Guardians is criminally underrated. When the trailer first dropped. I was so hyped to see it. I kept missing the opportunity to watch it. Mainly because it basically disappeared; I finally got to watch it back in 2017
Apologies if you notice how unwell I look or acted, I was close to my death bed filming this 😂 However, Happy Easter everyone 👊🏼
S'okay dude. If memory serves, last guy who died today came back without a problem.
Honestly didn't notice it at all! Hope you're doing better now!
Happy Easter welchy

I love the theory that Jamie is Jack's sister's descendant. They look similar, and live near the same pond, and I think it adds an extra special touch that the legacy of Jack's sacrifice lives on, and even helped save the world.
There are theories that the little boy Jamie is actually a descandent of Jack's sister. You can see Jamie and his little sister has some similar features of Jack's little sister's face, but then again it could just be the creators reusing the design for budget purposes.
But this theory has added so much more heartwarming depth of Jack and Jamie's friendship. Jamie is basically a clone of Jack's sister and still looked after his family even after life :)
Oh, this is TOTALLY underrated, I really love this film! I’m not sure why it failed, maybe because of sabotage like with Treasure Planet?
I think it’s because the same year the movie was released in there was 2 big works released in it too and the same month of the movie have a lot of waiting movies and works
@@HoneyPooOoO So similar to Treasure Planet.
@@DarkFoxKirin But not intentional.
i like the attention to Detail with Santa having a Russian accent, while St. Nicholas was German, the village he lived in was part of Rus (later Russia) at the time.
I watched this movie as a child and it is now forever etched into my soul. It sucks that this film is as underrated and forgotten as it is. I love all the characters so much, the story is relatable and compelling, the music is enrapturing, I could go on and on about how much I love this movie.
Also, I hope you get better soon, Welchy, take it easy and take care fo yourself!
0:13 Trollhunters is such a good series. I highly recommend it. It’s the one underneath Rise of the Guardians. It’s so good❤❤❤❤
this was my fav movie when I was a kid, it had everything sad scenes that I can relate to, exciting storyline and it had every mythical figure I believed in. the thing is this movie is totally underrated I tried to share this blessing of mine with others but all of them refused to watch it I still love this movie and I believe it's the reason I was so imaginative.
When you take a break from studying , you're having your afternoon snack and you're about to search what you're gonna watch.. Welchy has uploaded 🥺💞 best combo!
Appreciate you
@@Welchy We appreciate you too!! (◕ᴗ◕✿) Happy Easter!
I always thought this was a good movie 😊 I'm not entirely sure why it flopped but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the budget and the fact that some were offended by the movies' interpretation of Santa..... personally, he was my favorite 🤣
This is the only Santa I like lol
Literally just understood why Pitch’s lair had a bed over it. Jesus I’m dumb.
Omg same hare I literally just saw this comment and it clicked 😂
I Never got it. Is it because he‘s the Monster under your bed?
Fun fact this is based on the the book series the guardians of childhood by William Joyce the author who wrote the book or books that rolie polie Olie was based off of happy Easter by the way
18:37 when jack frost said "when moon tells you something believe it" ... Marc Spector aka Steven grant aka Jake lockley took it personally
I love Moon Knight
i remember my siblings and i watched this together last christmas just cause we wanted to stay up and be festive about it, after the movie we were like Wow What The Fuck why was that really good. why does no one talk about how good this is
He called the Easter Bunny kangaroo like when I feel that’s the point since EB is Australian which is a super cool detail
I'll never forget this movie. I really loved it as a child, so I lent the DVD to my dad for him to watch. The next time I was at his place - over two years later, after his funeral - I found it sitting on the coffee table in his living room. In pristine condition and with no dust on the case whatsoever.
This is one of the best movies
Jack frost was my first crush
And this deserves WAAAAY more love
I grew up with this movie, it's such a good comfort watch. It's hilarious to see you watch it for the first time
To be honest when I watched this for the first time I didn't expect much. But I also just loved this completely new concept. Surely, something different than another princess movie 😅 Great video and reaction as always! 🤩
As a child I hated Pitch but when I grew up and I rewatched this movie as an adult, I actually felt really sad for Pitch, I thought it was heartbreaking how his fear is represented by a childhood bed. It makes me wonder.
But anyway, he makes me sad as an adult.
TOTALLY UNDERRATED!!! I watched this a couple of years ago with my kids during Christmas and it's now a regular holiday (Christmas, Easter, snow day, etc) movie. I tear up every time we watch it!
Honestly, Bear in the Big Blue house slapped. Tutter the mouse was my favorite. And Bear sticking his muzzle into the camera was such an awesome fourth wall break
This movie is impeccable I will die on this hill comfort movie
Jamie is the descendant of Jack's sister or brother I think. They have similar eyes and facial structure. His sister Sophie also matches one of Jack's sisters in his past. SOOOOooooo
16:08 was the most adorable reaction I have ever seen loolol
To answer the question about leaving the kids on the ice, look at the credits and the end credit scenes
pitch was the ultimate sass king and i love it
LOVE how the TOOTH FAIY LOoks like a humming Bird
I love how they put the entrance to Pitch's hide out under a bed because the boogie Man live under your bed!
If you look closely at Baby Tooth, the little hummingbird that follows Jack around, the beauty mark on her cheek matches Jack’s sister too.
The owl movie is The Guardians Of Ga'hoole. XD
William Joyce made a picture book with absolutely gorgeous art titled The Man In The Moon. He also made the book series of this titled The Guardians Of Childhood. There's 5 in total, with Jack being on the final book.
I'm guessing Jack died when he was about 16.
He DID try to attack Pitch, but they didn't see that. They just knew he went to take the girl home, then he comes back late and he has his teeth, but no Baby Tooth with him.
Steve Irwin would forgive the stingray, he'd probably even apologise for making it feel so threatened that it had to attack him. Which honestly, makes that even sadder 😭
The crazy thing is, there are many doctors out there saying that he could have been saved had he not hastily pulled the stingray's barb out. But because he pulled it out, there was nothing to stop the bleeding.
@@Salinestra yup, sucks even more cause he of all people would have known that. But the panic caused him to react and yank 🙃
10:11
Actually, bunnies do like carrots. But they prefer the green stem and leaves, as opposed to the orange root (which is what we eat).
Saw this movie when it came out in theatres and to this day it is one of my favourite films! It's a great stand alone film so I'm not mad that it didn't get a sequel or anything but I'm sad that it doesn't get the recognition. Like the characters are so much fun and the story (be it simple) is engaging and there's a clear plot line from one scene to another, it builds off of itself. I hope more people watch it and be pleasantly surprised!
You know I have watched this movie hundreds of times and I truly never realized baby tooth had heterochromia possibly because she has small eyes and other than that I am glad you liked the movie
i also watched this for the first time in recent years in a spur of the moment decision. It was really enjoyable for something i only remember being advertised for such a little time
Shout out to Peter Ramsey as the director. I love watching the BTS videos. You can really see how much time, effort, and love he put into this film. Shame it didn't get the appreciation or support it deserved.
“you dare have fun in my presence” he jus like me fr
At least here in New Zealand I remember this movie being advertised into the ground. It felt like every add break was advertising this movie. But I’m not sure how good the advertising was because I know my sister at first didn’t want to watch it. So we didn’t go to see it at the movies.
But when I got it out from the DVD store she fell in love with it. As did I. It’s one of those movies if you watch it you love it but it may take some time to get around to watching it 🥰
It's funny you mentioned Elsa because there was once a community of Jack Frost and Elsa shippers. Idk if they are still around but I do very clearly remember them 😅
Yeah the Jelsa fandom is still alive!
I'm so happy to see this especially since I recently became OBSESSED with this movie again. There's a book series which this movie is inspired by which I'm hoping to get, and I'm so upset there's no sequel they could've done so much, maybe looked into the backstories of the other Guardians or got a redemption arc for Pitch or something, I think that'd be cool to explore
And god the dynamics of the characters all work so well, they're all so unique and fun including Pitch and his energeticness, I don't think I'll ever get over this amazing masterpiece
Also there is even more angst in the books, Pitch was originally a good guy but was manipulated by hearing his daughter's voice, like how Jack heard his sister's voice, and he became corrupted
North was born an orphan in Russia, his village was in danger by Pitch so he went to try and save it
Tooth's only alive relative left is her sister, the others are dead
And Bunny fled to Earth after becoming the last of his kind, the last Pooka left because Pitch killed his entire race
watching this movie at the cinema around christmas time together with my parents and my then best friend and her parents is one of the best childhood memories I have.
Seriously this movie is an absolute masterpiece. Even back then I absolutely fell in love with the story and world building♥️
I was in grade two when it came out- I’m in grade 12 now and it’s still one of my favourites
For real Bear in The Big Blue House was my EVERYTHING.
I'm sad that not many people talk about it.
I've been requesting this for the LONGEST! Can't wait to watch it!
Edit: LMFAO!! You immediately didn't like Bunnymund and called him a dick! 🤣 Also, I too, love the characters' unique designs. Tooth and the fairies' hummingbird-inspired design were especially pretty. Also, wasn't it funny when the elves tried to make Jack wear the shoes he's normally depicted wearing only for him to at them with digust?
Also, thanks for the like Welchy!!
This was literally one of my favourite movies when I was younger. I'm so happy you're reacting to it. (I hope you get better soon)
“He’s like Elsa but so much cooler”
Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons: **slowly slips out of the room**
Lmao
*Rise Of The Brave Frozen Tangled Dragons
It’s a much better fandom
Never forgot this movie, it was and always has been one of my favorites and it's sad that it doesn't get as much love as it deserves.
This movie is absolutely a masterpiece and hilarious
I like how this Movie is getting attention again as a kid i used to watch it like every weekend bc i really liked it
OMG YESSS
I fully agree with the title 😌✨
NOW ONTO WATCHING~
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is an interesting movie... You should consider watching it in the future! As for this movie, Rise of the Guardians, we watch this ever Easter! It has become a family classic for us! Oh, and Welchy? David doesn't suck. My hubby's name is Daivd, so I happen to be quite partial to it! 😉
The owl movie (legend of the guardians: the owls of gahoole) is MASSIVELY underrated and is actually one of the reason i love owls and fantasy, so hope you may come across it some day
This litterally was one of my favorite movies and still is to this day
Was already so excited for this commentary, then got hit with the Bear in the Big Blue House nostalgia. That show was the BEST 😂 hope you get to feeling better!! 💛
I had no idea this movie was underrated. My family has watched this movie for Christmas for most of my life. I love it a lot and it’s probably my favorite kids movie
To see this movie in the theatre in 3D was awesome! The ending scene with the golddust dreams surrounded you. The dolphins swam PAST you it was an amazing experience. Best in theatre movie I've ever seen.
OML BEAR IN THE BIG BLUE HOUSE, my brothers and I used to watch that when we were really little oml the memories
This is such an underrated movie; I loved this movie!
I suggest maybe watching “Epic” which is another under-appreciated animated movie with a beautiful plot.
watching this video feels like showing a young cousin a movie you love, but they dont know of yet
Ah this is such a fun movie I'm happy to see you react to it! ^^ ♡
Your “Bear in the Big Blue House” reference had me hit subscribe in a second! Been binge watching your stuff and I love it!
I've always thought this movie was a masterpiece. I still don't understand why it was so ignored.
I actually have an app that tells me moon phases, and it sends random notifications (the best so far being "I don't like boardgames" and "I need to scream") so thank you for reminding me I need to check for new ones
I love this! Thank you, Welchy! Been waiting for this one a while. It's so good!
I remember seeing this in theatres with a friend, that movie was such a blast.
