Following last night’s first look, Warner Bros. Pictures has now brought online the trailer for director Zack Snyder’s Legend of the Guardians, opening in 3D theaters and IMAX 3D on September 24.
The fantasy family adventure is based on the beloved “Guardians of Ga’Hoole” books by Kathryn Lasky. Legend of the Guardians follows Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father’s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father’s favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd’s jealousy has terrible consequences–causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones. Now it is up to Soren to make a daring escape with the help of other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga’Hoole–Soren’s only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.
