Enter our heroes, a group of legendary guardians who have been watching over children for centuries. Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Kratt), a mischievous and adventurous spirit of winter, is recruited by the Guardians to join their team. Alongside Santa Claus (voiced by Ed Asner), the Easter Bunny (voiced by Hugh Laurie), the Tooth Fairy (voiced by Isla Fisher), Cupid (voiced by David Koechner), and the Sandman (voiced by Jeffrey Tambor), Jack must learn to work together with his new teammates to defeat Pitch and restore faith in the holiday season.
The heart of the story belongs to (Chris Pine). As the spirit of winter, Jack is invisible to the world because no one "believes" in him. He spent 300 years in isolation, playing pranks to mask his loneliness.

Where most animated villains seek world domination or magical MacGuffins, Pitch Black (voiced with silky, wounded menace by Jude Law) seeks something far more relatable: relevance. His plan is not to kill the Guardians but to make children stop believing in them. By spreading nightmares, he converts the golden dreams of childhood into a gray, fearful silence.
