Released:   September 2010
Movie Rating:  PG
Star Rating: ««1/2   

Movie Summary:
Sorren is an adventurous barn owl who’s eager to start flying and venture out of the tree in which he has lived in since he was an owlet with his family.  Soon he and his brother are bird-napped and taken to a dark kingdom ruled by an evil owl, Nyra, and her husband, Metal Beak, who plot to take over all the owl kingdoms and rule over them.  Sorren befriends an owl there named Gylfie, and together they manage to escape the kingdom.  They, along with some new owl friends, embark on a perilous journey to the Great Tree, where the legendary Guardians of Ga’hoole live.  Sorren and his friends team with the Guardians to defeat Nyra and Metal Beak and save the owl kingdoms from ruin. 

“Legend of the Guardians” contains many dark scenes and violent battle sequences, which may frighten young viewers.   Although there was some impressive animation and cool flying scenes,   I thought “Guardians” could have been a much better movie.
