08 Toothless - How to Train Your Dragon - suggested by30 Character Challenge
Other Characters: [link]
Anna suggested Toothless which is a GREAT suggestion, especially since the movie came out on DVD only a couple days ago and I've been meaning to draw a picture of him that looked decent since I saw the thing in a theater.
Toothless is super-adorable brave and loyal friend to Hiccup, the twiggiest viking. If you have not seen the movie then redbox that bizzness because you must. And I dare you not to fall in love with Toothless because I don't think it's possible.
(ps, I think I know what everyone's gonna color in this round's coloring competition... because I wanna color it ^^)
But enough from me, Anna, what would you like to share about Toothless?
A: "HE'S THE CUTEST DRAGON EVER AND HE REMINDS ME OF MY CATS!!... and He's one of the most unqiue dragons I ever seen."

Gah, I love Toothless and the way he moves--those animators really did their research. I like how you've fit his wings and tail into the picture, like he's just spun around. Great!

Aww, Toothless! Thatwas a good suggestion. I've seen it about five times now overall (thrice in theaters and twice since Monday), and I still completely enjoy it every time.

It's a very very very good movie. I'm rooting for it for Oscars. I mean, I love Pixar, but if Toy Story 3 wins over Dragon I'll be a sad panda.

Toy Story 3 was also a very good movie. But Dragon really stood out from the crowd. From a purely technical standpoint, I found the visuals much more impressive too.

I thought it was better from every angle, myself. I had a real beef with ToyStory3's story...

I remember. You didn't like all the obvious reaches at your heartstrings. Personally, I find most of Pixar's movies to have that saccharin sweetness to them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not that blatant though. Up got my heart but it got my heart legitmately- through emotion and building character. The tricks in Toy Story 3 lacked all subtlety. It lacked even the subtlety that existed in Toy Story 2. Everything was SUPER BIG and SUPER FAST and SUPER SAD... there was no time to breathe and there was not a lot of contrast. No quiet times like Jessie sitting by the windowsill dealing with the tough memories of her past, there was no Marlin taking Nemo's little fin in his hands the same way he held his egg when he was a baby, realizing that he's been too protective of him because of the love he has for him and the fear of losing him, there's no Sully having to say goodbye to Boo....
... but How to Train Your Dragon had those things. The scene at the end when we realized he'd lost his leg and seeing that he and Toothless were the same - and that they completed each other... that was an awesome moment. It was both surprising and moving and in a way very 'real'. The end of toy story 3 where Andy nearly cries when Debbie(?) makes Woody wave at him? That was campy to me. It didn't help that I was pissed that the whole message of the movie was "You have to leave your childhood behind when you grow up" either. I'll be the first to admit that part of my resistance to it was that it was lecutring me about how I wasn't an adult because I still have the dolls I played with when I was little.

Hm, I don't quite agree with you on all of that. See, I find stories about inanimate objects always have an undercurrent of... hmmm, impending tragedy? I think that describes it. Growing up, I personified everything around me. I still do, it's just automatic. Heehee, I could tell you the life-stories of all the cutlery and cups in our kitchen, to say nothing of the toothbrushes in the bathroom! Toys, well, that's a no-brainer of course. But over the years we've lost a few. (er, toothbrushes especially) And I don't know about you, but my family moved around a lot while I was getting older, and every time it was a battle to hang onto our toys through another move (a rather stressful battle that usually involved hiding our favorites among the rest of our stuff so Mom wouldn't find them after she'd already put them out in bags for us to give away). Incidentally, we've finally hit upon the perfect excuse: "We babysit all the time Mom, and you know the best babysitters are the ones with a full toy box!"
Sooo my point is, right from the first Toy Story there was this dreadful feeling that things were not always going to be this way for the characters (in fact, doesn't Woody say something about that right at the end of the first movie? "When that day comes, I'll have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company"). I got that same feeling from The Brave Little Toaster actually.
Also, I didn't really get that the point was that you need to give up your toys and move on from your childhood; the point I got was more along the lines of "If you're not using your toys, then instead of putting them in the attic maybe you could see about giving them to a kid who might get more use out of them?"
Not that I intend to follow that advice either.

I wasnt trying to belittle the idea of giving inanimate objects personalities or saying that the idea was a bad one. I just didn't like how it was done. We can have tragedy without the swirling vortex of fiery death, and we can have Andy giving his toys away at the end without making it go so far that I got sucked out of the movie.
Whatever my argument is, the fact is that when the really mushy stuff was happening, I wasn't feeling it. I was watching the movie going "golly this is mushy". With the fabulous track record that Pixar has had so far and with all the tears they've make me shed there has to have been some way for them to tell the same story with the same themes without crossing that line from emotional to campy. I might just have a finer line than some.

Perhaps it's just a matter of people having different camp-thresholds... There are parts of Finding Nemo I find hard to stomach for that reason, and I don't even KNOW why Cars did so well... There's an amount of campyness in every animated film even remotely connected to Disney (certain Ghibli films aside, but they don't really count cause Disney's just the Western distributor). Sometimes I'm willing to play along and sometimes I'm not. I related to Toy Story 3, so while I was not blind to its tactics, I played along.
All in all though, HTTYD was better.
