What if Amblimation was still open?/Rise of the Guardians: The Untold Story of The Last Light

Rise of the Guardians: The Untold Story of The Last Light is a 2013 direct-to-home traditionally-animated action-adventure fantasy comedy film produced by Amblimation and The Kennedy/Marshall Company. Distributed by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and released on July 16, 2013, the film's main plot concerns upon one little boy when something terrible happens to him and has to deal with the reality of how cruel some adults can be to young children.

While it did receive positive reviews for it's writing, animation, and voice acting, it also generated a significant amount of criticism and controversy from various media organizations and critics for it's portrayal of child abuse which, unusually for a studio like Amblimation, is portrayed in a very serious manner.

NBC aired the film as four separate episodes for the Rise of the Guardians series premiere in September of the same year. NBC had several scenes cut out, new scenes put in, and other scenes altered to make it only 88 minutes long. The shortened and separated versions of the four segments were aired on September 19, 2013.
