Impressionable young barn owl Soren (Jim Sturgess) and his chick sister Eglantine (Adrienne DeFaria) hang on the every word of their father, Noctus (Hugo Weaving), when he tells them about the legendary guardians who have protected their feathered kind for generations.

Based on Kathryn Lasky's 15-volume series, kiddies will love this animated tale of adventure whose message concerns the oft-used theme of good against evil (though they might have to explain to their parents what the stories are all about . they're all about owls!)
