"Tonight we dine...on mice!" -- come anticipate or at least acknowledge 'Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole' as directed by Zach Snyder

The bad guys were driven by some sort of owl eugenics wherein barn owls are the master race, and the metal flecks give them power.

I think the whole thing is a troll on Don Bluth, if anyone...after so many years of him making movies with evil owls, giving a whole movie about evil owls and very very obvious Pure of Heart Goodness themes to Zach Snyder.

So wrong, to do that to the great man.

I predict that this will be the better than any other movie that Zach Snyder has made to this point...

also can I just affirm for a moment the undiluted awesomeness that is The Secret of Nimh?

Feel free. Hey, revive this, even:

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH/The Secret of NIMH

Rock-A-Doodle, however...best not to think about it. But it did have a lot of evil owls. They sing a song, even.

iirc the song is about batteries

Haha, I was about to post that link.

I am amused & shocked that this memory was correct.

havent read the thread but saw this last night—so it's basically lord of the rings, but with owls sporting war-helmets and australian accents?

I think this explains it pretty well

I still think about this periodically and crack up to myself over it. Esp great if you imagine an emo owl saying it & like thumping his back leg around in crazed doggy desire.

haha i think about it all the time!

Finally saw this last night. Really has to be one of the most insane fantasy films ever. The almost palpable realism of the face fluff, making us want to pet the screen. The relentless cognitive dissonance of the premise. The Dead Can Dance Moment (so glad you warned me about this Abbs). My wife loved it so much I think she was having an irl out of body experience.

We also watched this at like 1 in the morning so there was an added layer of hypnagogic delerium on my part.

ga'hoole

ga'hoole

OTM

OWLS, never forget

There are so many movies (2) with "Guardians" in the title the past couple years and it's like – why are you fucking with me and using the word "Guardians" if there aren't Zach Snyder golden hour owls carrying buckets of fire to Dead Can Dance songs?

Weeks on, I am *still* briefly disappointed every time I see the title "Guardians of the Galaxy" and realize it is not a sequel to this movie.

Hahah

Legend of the Rise of the Guardians of the Ga'hoolaxy

So where's the Snyder Cut of this
