The poster for Zack Snyder’s animated film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole is now online.

Legend of the Guardians is based on the first three books of Kathryn Lasky’s series, Guardians of Ga’Hoole. It follows Soren, a young owl enthralled by his father’s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole, a band of warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. When Soren and his owlet siblings fall out of their treetop nest, it’s up to him to make a daring escape with the other brave young owls. Together they soar across the sea and through the mist to find the Great Tree, home of the legendary Guardians of Ga’Hoole, who are Soren’s only hope of defeating the Pure Ones and saving the owl kingdoms.

The film features the voice talent of Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Hugo Weaving, David Wenham, Emily Barclay, Abbie Cornish, Emilie de Ravin, Ryan Kwanten, Jay Laga’aia, Miriam Margolyes, Helen Mirren, Deborra-Lee Furness and Jim Sturgess.

Legend of the Guardian is released across the US from September 24th, 2010.
