The magic returns… and so does the darkness. In Rise of the Guardians 2 (2025), the beloved protectors of childhood — Jack Frost, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and Santa Claus — reunite to defend the dreams of children once again. But when a new, ancient threat rises from the shadows of forgotten myths, the Guardians must face their greatest challenge yet: a being powerful enough to erase belief itself.

The teaser opens with the sound of wind and whispers as snow swirls through the moonlight. Jack Frost (Chris Pine) stands atop an icy mountain, his staff glowing faintly. A mysterious voice echoes: “When children stop believing, the light fades…” Quick, breathtaking flashes show the Guardians in action — the Easter Bunny leaping through glowing portals, the Tooth Fairy summoning a flurry of glittering wings, and North (Hugh Jackman) wielding twin glowing sabers against shadowy creatures rising from dark clouds.

Jude Law’s Pitch Black returns, but not alone — a new villain emerges from the realm of forgotten dreams, spreading fear that even the Guardians cannot control. Jack Frost, torn between his duty and his fading sense of wonder, must rediscover what it truly means to be a Guardian. The animation is richer, grander, and darker, blending breathtaking visuals with deeply emotional storytelling. The score swells with orchestral magic, evoking awe, courage, and nostalgia.
