Acclaimed filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) makes his animation debut with this fantasy adventure based on the beloved books by Kathryn Lasky. Young owl Soren marvels at his father's epic stories of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, mythic winged warriors who fought a great battle to save all owl kind from the evil Pure Ones. When he and brother Kludd fall from their treetop home and into the talons of the Pure Ones, it's up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave owls.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2025The Blu-ray was delivered on time. The movie was factory sealed and plays perfectly!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2024The quality of the movie was really good. It’s a beloved movie to watch with friends and family. The director and the producers did their research on owl.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2011Being a bird lover and fantasy buff, I greatly enjoyed this movie. The first thing which struck me was the jaw-dropping graphics and animation - some of the best I have seen in recent digitally animated films. The voice actors do a great job for their character's role, although Soren's voice did get a little annoying at times - funny because he is the main character. The story was fun to watch unfold and entertained me even though there were really no new concepts explored - the characters and story are typical for fantasy/adventure titles. I love how the owls move and act realistically for what you would expect for talking warrior birds. This movie is a little darker themed, which for me was an interesting and almost refreshing change from watching other overly cheery/happy digitally animated movies of it's kind. A caution to parents with kids under eight though - depending on the child, they may not be able to handle some of the battle scenes and strong character conflicts which occur later during the film. Personally I loved the battle scenes - they are very well directed and amazing to watch. The owls fight fiercely and simply use crafted helmets and metal claws; which once you see it looks more realistic than it sounds. Some people love it, some people hate it - I give it a 9 out of 10. Although it is full of under-developed characters and has a usual 'good warriors versus bad warriors' plot with plenty of cliches thrown in, it has become one of my favorites (even though I am normally very annoyed by cliched movies) and I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy stories, owls, or spectacular digital effects.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2024It's a beautiful movie with some lesson to learn, suitable for any age.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020I saw this (as an adult) when it first came out, not having read the books. I'm a huge animation buff so of course I had to see it. As everyone knows and has said, the animation is truly stunning. It is BY FAR the most visually beautiful animated film out there (and I've seen almost all, including anime which I love). The one thing that matches it are the Pandora scenes in Avatar. It is worth watching for the visuals alone, and 3D pushes it to an even more amazing level. If you don't usually watch or buy 3D, this one would be the one I'd say to make an exception with.
As for the overall movie quality, I enjoyed it enough to buy it when it was first released, so it wasn't only the visuals that I liked. You can certainly watch it without having read any Ga'Hoole books, but it is more enjoyable if you have. My 12yo and I just finished reading the first 3 books (which are what the movie is loosely based on), because I like to have her read the books before seeing any film adaptation whenever possible. We enjoyed them and she was very eager to see the movie. It was easier to follow this time because of the familiarity with the characters and plot from the books.
The movie takes some big departures from the books, but we didn't mind the changes at all, and felt that some were an improvement, as they were more plausible. The author Kathryn Lasky was one of the Exec. Producers, so I assume that she was involved in the adaptation process. Even though it's apparently based on books 1-3, from the book descriptions it seems to me to be also based somewhat on 4-6 (which is when war takes place).
She watched it again the day after we saw it, and I predict more repeat viewings!
As for age appropriateness, I'd say 8 and up, as it is more serious and intense and doesn't have a cartoony or upbeat feel of most Disney movies but is definitely more action-adventure. But there are some good moments of humor thrown in, largely provided by the bard-warrior Twilight who, for example, sings a particularly funny lullaby.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2011I watched this movie in 3d with my lady. This movie will just WOW your eyes. I am a movie buff, and this was the most stunning visuals i have ever seen. The owls are freaking gorgeous...lol...while watching this movie i thought to myself i actually wanted that white owl:0 The 2d version is great also. A friend came over and the kids were watching the dvd on their 37 inch hd tv...my friend was like WHAT IS THAT! lol. he couldn't stop looking at it(no joke it was that gorgeous). Had he seen it in 3d on my panny, he'd have tripped for real. If you want to get the most out your tv's visual's...this is a must buy. The 3d was better than Tangled 3d(which i still love) Step Up 3d(which is cool) and Tron 3d can't even come close...
The trees, water, flying and fighting of the owls, the shiny feathers of the owls...everything about this movie...ridiculous in detail. GET THIS MOVIE!!! I know my review is saying the same thing...but i mean...you just got to see it to know what I mean. I have a panny gt25 3d tv also if that helps anyone out there looking to buy this movie. The greatest thing about this movie is that the story keeps you interested. Its not a movie where you buy only for the 3d. You will actually watch this movie...the 3d and beauty will just AMAZE you and the story is quite suspenseful. Also, I treat my 3d movies like a movie theater...meaning I wait til its nighttime, turn off the lights and enjoy.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024Sit back and watch the beautiful colors in this move. Actors voices are amazingly clear. I loved it!

TorstenReviewed in Germany on February 28, 2011
5.0 out of 5 stars Schöne Kinderbuch-Verfilmung auf einer technisch erstklassigen Blu Ray
Ich möchte mich über den Inhalt zu Die Legende der Wächter nicht groß auslassen. Das haben hier schon andere Rezensenten teilweise sehr ausführlich und sehr gut geschildert und geht ja auch aus der Inhaltsangabe des Films gut hervor. Vielmehr möchte ich ein paar Worte zur technischen Qualität der Blu Ray los werden (Abspielgeräte TV: Samsung UE40 B6000, Player: Philips BDP 7200):
Zur Bildqualität des Films gibt es eigentlich nur ein Wort, dass zutreffend ist: Fantastisch! Die Legende der Wächter verfügt, meiner Meinung nach, über ein ein absolutes Referenz-Bild. Die Bildschärfe ist, egal ob in den Nah- oder Panorama-Aufnahmen, sehr hoch und strotzt nur so vor kleinen Details. Allein z. B. die Feder- oder Fellfasern der Eulen, alles ist bis ins kleinste Detail erkennbar. Auch die Bewegungsschärfe ist sehr gut. Vor allem bei den vielen Zeitlupeneffekten sitzt man teilweise staunend vor den Fernseher. Gleiches gilt für die Tiefenwirkung des Bildes, die ebenfalls enorm hoch ist. Man hat zu jeder Zeit das Gefühl, das man in das sehr räumliche und plastische Bild hineingucken kann. Hier sieht man deutlich, dass als Master für die Blu-Ray-Produktion, die 3D-Fassung hergehalten hat. Der Schwarzwert ist ebenfalls sehr hoch. Schwarz ist schwarz und es werden in Dunkelszenen keine Details verschluckt. Die Farbpalette ist satt und sehr kräftig, wirkt aber keinesfalls überzeichnet, sondern rundet den Gesamteindruck des sehr guten Bildes ab. Verschmutzungen oder Kompressions-Artefakte sucht man vergeblich. Im Vergleich zu anderen aktuellen Animationsfilmen, wie Disney's Weihnachtsgeschichte, Drachenzähmen leicht gemacht, #9 oder Shrek 4 liegt Die Legende der Wächter einen kräftigen Flügelschlag vorne. 10 von 10 Punkten.
Der teilweise wuchtige 5.1-DTS-Sound überzeugt durch seinen direkten, räumlichen und klaren Klang, sowie teilweise mächtigen Bässen. In der Szene, in der die Jungeulen ihr Flugtraining, während eines tosenden Sturmes absolvieren müssen, kommt der Subwoover nicht zur Ruhe. Da freuen sich die Nachbarn. Auch die sehr häufig eingesetzten Surround-Effekte kommen immer im richtigen Moment aus der Richtung, aus der sie kommen sollen. Die Dialoge sind überwiegend Center-lastig und die Musik kommt überwiegend aus den vorderen Satelliten-Boxen, wird aber, je nach Szene oder Situation, auch über die hinteren Satelliten-Boxen ausgegeben. Die deutsche Synchronisation ist ebenfalls sehr gelungen. Statt Jeanette Biedermann, Nena oder Bill Kaulitz hat Warner Brothers zum Glück auf professionelle Synchron-Sprecher zurück gegriffen (u. a. der deutsche Synchronsprecher von Russel Crowe). Der Sound ist, meiner Meinung nach, satrk Referenz-verdächtig und verdient sich ebenfalls 10 von 10 Punkten.
Zum Schluss möchte ich kurz noch anmerken, dass die Blu Ray eine Spielzeit von 97 Minuten hat. Auf dem Cover sind 93 Minuten angegeben. Das einzige Extra, das wir uns angesehen haben, war der animierte und sehr witzige Roadrunner Kurzfilm, der ebenfalls mit einer sehr guten Bildqualität und einem wuchtigen 5.1-Sound daher kommt.
Meiner Frau und mir hat die Kinderbuchverfilmung von Regisseur Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen) wirklich gut gefallen. Die Geschichte ist spannend, mitreißend und zum Teil auch humorvoll erzählt und die lebensechten Animationen der Tiere können auf voller Linie überzeugen. Wer einen Blu Ray Player sein Eigen nennt, sollte sich diese technisch erstklassige Disc nicht entgehen lassen.

5.0 out of 5 stars un blu ray sompteux
Que dire de plus que "WOW" ?! Les images sont superbes, les animations parmi les plus belle que j'ai pu voir ; et la 3d est dès les premières secondes du film étourdissante (dans le bon sens !). Alors certes, c'est plutôt destiné aux enfants, le scénario est quelque peu déjà vu (quoique l'univers des chouettes est une trouvaille excellente !) mais ce blu ray est pour moi ni plus ni moins qu'une oeuvre d'art, comme bon nombre de films de Zack Snyder d'ailleurs. il se dégage des images une poésie, un hymne à la vie et aux sens dans presque chaque scène de ce film et le transfert blu-ray le rend encore mieux qu'au cinéma. La seule déception pour moi vient de la fin ouverte qui appelait à une suite (comme dans les romans dont est issue cette adaptation) qui ne vit malheureusement jamais le jour en raison du peu de succès du film lors de sa diffusion en salles, et ce malgré sa cote de popularité acquise depuis lors. Dommage ! Quoiqu'il en soit ce blu ray 3d mériterait amplement une édition prestige steelbook afin de trôner fièrement parmi les meilleurs films d'une dvd-bluraythèque ...

ELETTRA 3DReviewed in Italy on February 8, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Recensione BLU-RAY 3D!
La versione Blu-ray 3D offre una qualità video eccezionale, con una profondità e una chiarezza straordinarie, che rendono ogni dettaglio dei gufi e dei loro ambienti visivamente sorprendenti. Le scene di volo e di azione sono particolarmente coinvolgenti visti in steroscopia, mentre l'audio DTS-HD Master garantisce un coinvolgimento sonoro emozionante. Gli extra includono un breve documentario sulla vita degli gufi e un cortometraggio animato dei Looney Tunes.
Il film si distingue per la sua straordinaria animazione, che crea creature realistiche e affascinanti.
Si tratta del primo film d'animazione diretto da Zack Snyder. Basato su tre libri di Kathryn Lasky, l'opera racconta la storia di Soren, un giovane gufo che, insieme ad altri coraggiosi gufi giovani, cerca di sconfiggere i malvagi Puri e salvare i regni dei gufi.
