E. Aster Bunnymund's Warren

Day 26 - So the day that was supposed to be the day after Christmas isn't too soon to post something Easter related is it? ;3

As you may or may not have been able to tell from the title, this is the home of one E. Aster Bunnymund. But you probably know him better as the Easter Bunny. :3 He just made his newest debut in Rise of the Guardians, but it turns out that a series of books came out first (I don't know why I'm surprised since pretty much everything is based off of books nowadays. I'm not complaining exactly, just wondering why I'm surprised.)

I Want To See It Again!

I am of the firm belief that stories are important to people. They influence the choices we make, how we chose to live as human beings. They can show us a new way to look at the world around us or they can reinforce what we believe already. No matter what form we hear them as -- books, movies, or oral tales told around the Thanksgiving table -- they influence us. They are important.

The most recent story that reminded me of this was a movie I saw the other day with my Dad and my sister. It was Rise of the Guardians, one of the newest Dreamworks films for last year. Now personally, I think Dreamworks have been doing a stellar job, both in their well known animation style and their storytelling, and Rise of the Guardians did not disappoint.



So I felt going into the theater that I would like the movie. I'd been itching to see it since it came out, but the timing was always wrong or no one else was in the mode to see it with me. And really, what's the point of going to a movie if you can't enjoy it with someone else?
