OK GUYS STOP WITH THE GUARDIANS FEELS!

There’s a concept of the movie that I really like, and it’s Jack pretty much asking the guardians, “When’s the last time you actually spent time with children?”  Like, the guardians are the great and powerful protectors… but… when’s the last time they actually spent a second with the very children they want to protect?  Think about it.  The Sandman comes to give you sweet dreams, meaning you’re sleeping when he shows up.  Children are told to leave cookies and milk for Santa, then to go to sleep (and Christmas is only once a year, which means he only does this one time, and that one time isn’t even spent directly with children).  You put a tooth underneath your pillow for the Tooth Fairy (and in the movie, she’s not even the one who collects the teeth) and the Easter Bunny hides the eggs before the children can see him.  Jack’s the only one who, you know, was playing with the kids.  

I think this is important for any protective figure: parents, siblings, friends, whatever.  Sometimes, we spend so much time “protecting” that we forget to, you know, enjoy the thing we’re protecting.  And this scene, right here, you can tell that Bunny gets what Jack was talking about as far as, “When’s the last time you did this?”  Sophie looks so happy seeing him, and just look at how happy Bunny looks to be around her?  It’s really touching to me.
