Plot
The spirit of winter Jack Frost is lifted with amnesia from the
depths of a frozen pond by the Man in the Moon only to
discover no one can see, hear, or touch him. Three hundred
years later at the North Pole, North, better known as Santa
Claus, becomes aware that Pitch Black, the Boogeyman, has
returned and is threatening the children of the world. After
alerting fellow Guardians the Tooth Fairy (Tooth for short),
the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman/Sandy of the problem,
North learns that Jack Frost has been selected by the Man in
the Moon as the newest Guardian. Jack Frost, frustrated and
hurt by centuries of isolation, declines the invitation, but
North persuades Jack Frost to cooperate by explaining their
mission and the looming threat.
Meanwhile, Pitch Black and his Nightmare minions raid
Tooth's palace, taking all the children's teeth and the
memories stored within. He also captures Tooth's helper
fairies except for a single fairy named Baby Tooth who is
rescued by Jack Frost. Resentful that he himself is not
believed in, Pitch plans to destroy children's faith in the
Guardians and thereby weaken them by preventing Tooth
from doing her work. To avert this, the Guardians travel the
world collecting teeth, and promise Jack that when they find
Pitch, they will help him regain his own baby teeth and
through them the memories of his past life. On the
expedition, a young boy named Jamie Bennett is delighted to
discover the Guardians in his room. He believes in all of them
except for Jack, whom he cannot see. Pitch learns of the
Guardians' resistance and attacks Jack and Sandy. Despite
Jack's efforts to save him, Sandy is overwhelmed and
seemingly killed by Pitch.
The dejected Guardians rally by helping Bunnymund prepare
his eggs for Easter. Although slightly complicated by the
intrusion of Jamie's sister Sophie, the preparation goes
smoothly. Jack takes Sophie home, but afterward a
mysterious female voice lures him to Pitch's lair where
Tooth's fairies and the teeth are being held. Pitch keeps him
distracted with the promise of his teeth's memories, while
Jack's absence allows the Nightmares to raid Bunnymund's
domain, shattering all the eggs, and destroying the children's
belief in the Easter Bunny.
After facing the disappointed Guardians, a despondent Jack
departs in disgrace to Antarctica. There, Pitch tempts him to
join forces, but Jack refuses, claiming that he wants to be
loved, not feared. In retaliation for rejecting the offer, Pitch
threatens to kill Baby Tooth unless Jack relinquishes his staff,
which is the source of his power. Pitch breaks the staff and
throws Jack and Baby Tooth down into an ice crevasse out of
anger, where Baby Tooth convinces Jack to unlock his
memories in an attempt to counter his despair. In doing this,
he learns that long ago, he was a mortal teenage boy who
died saving his little sister from falling through the ice of the
pond which he awoke from at the film's start. Because of that
sacrifice, the Man in the Moon changed him into a spirit and
chose him as a Guardian. Inspired by the revelation, Jack
restores his staff and returns to help the Guardians.
Due to the power of Pitch's Nightmares, only one child
(Jamie) still believes. Jack races to the boy first and
strengthens Jamie's wavering faith in the Guardians, but by
creating snow in Jamie's room, he causes him to believe that
Jack Frost is real. Jamie is finally able to see him much to Jack's
delighted surprise. The weakened Guardians arrive to
confront Pitch, while Jamie gathers his friends to support
them. Pitch's powers prove no match against the children's
faith, which allows the restored Guardians to battle Pitch.
Sandy is resurrected by this belief and joins the fight, leaving
Pitch defeated, the children's faith restored, and Jack with
believers of his own. Upon seeing that he is no longer
believed because of his defeat, Pitch attempts to escape, but
his Nightmares track down his fear and drag him away into his
lair.
At this victory, Jack accepts his place as the Guardian of Fun
and resolves to protect the world's children with his new
friends.
