The legend of the guardians is an animated film about owls.
The base of the story is that some owlets have been kidnapped by some evil owls
and brainwashed into soldiers. Two of the owlets work out when the brainwashing
is happening and look away then escape to tell the protectors of the land.
After a while they go fight evil owls and win.
There were multiple
different owls in this film which all had different
flying and walking styles. The main owl was a barn owl that walks with some
kind of elegance. But their take off seems to be a bit clumsy but when in
flight they take huge flaps of their wings and are very silent.
Emotional
effectiveness
The film is very successful in drawing you in. Each owl has
different personalities- evil owls,
the guardians etc. The young owl is very appealing. The scenes where he learns
to fly are really effective. His learning to fly shows a development, a
learning curve; this corresponds to a baby learning to crawl and walk. So the viewer bonds with the owl.
Colour, modelling,
rigging and texture
This is very close to being a real owl, except that it
talks. It flies like a real owl. Its wingspan
and proportions are realistic. The makers actually brought real owls in to
the studio when the dialogue was being recorded.
