    • Trivia
      Bunny mentions that Jack Frost caused a blizzard on Easter Sunday of 1968, a reference to an actual event.
    • Goofs
      Every tooth collected by the Tooth Fairy has roots, like a pulled adult tooth, but most of the teeth are supposed to be baby teeth, those that have wiggled loose after being displaced by permanent ones. They should be hollow shells without roots.
    • Quotes

      Jamie Bennett: You're leaving? But what if Pitch comes back? What if we stop believing again? If I can't see you...

      Jack Frost: Hey, slow down, slow down! Are you telling me you stop believing in the moon when the sun comes up?

      Jamie Bennett: No.

      Jack Frost: Okay. Well, do you stop believing in the sun when clouds block it out?

      Jamie Bennett: No.

      Jack Frost: We'll always be there, Jamie. And now, we'll always be here.

      [points to Jamie's heart]

      Jack Frost: Which kind of makes you a Guardian too.

    Truly the most wonderful movie I have ever seen
    I am 24 year old fairly macho male,but I love animated movies. Me and my wife went and saw this movie on date night and hands down best Christmas movie of all times. It was full of wonderment,amazement and magic.I teared up at least 4 different times during the movie. It made me feel like a kid again it made me believe. I found myself gasping and laughing at the same parts as the the 3 year old little girl sitting 3 seats away was and any movie that can do that is worth seeing. best holiday movie of all times.

    I am the wife :) and I found the movie to be equally moving and evoked emotions about the holidays and that I hadn't felt since I was a child. This may seem like a simple children's movie, but it is so much more than that if you really allow yourself to feel the characters. :) I hope you and your family enjoy the movie as much as we did!
