Warner Brothers just released the first official movie trailer from the upcoming animated film Legend of the Guardians by director Zack Snyder and featuring the voices of Emilie de Ravin, Abbie Cornish, Hugo Weaving and Geoffrey Rush.

Soren, a young barn owl, is kidnapped by owls of St. Aggie’s, ostensibly an orphanage, where owlets are brainwashed into becoming soldiers. He and his new friends escape to the island of Ga’Hoole, to assist its noble, wise owls who fight the army being created by the wicked rulers of St. Aggie’s. The film is based on the first three books in the series.
