That's awesome! Goes to my favs immediately.
The composition completely denotes the relationship between hiccup and toothless.

It's popular for a lot of reasons. Being a weirdo who enjoys analyzing these sorts of things, I found myself wondering WHY it appeals to all of us so strongly... and among many, many other reasons, I've come to the conclusion that it's so appealing because the film itself is everything we look for in a movie without any of the negative aspects of either children or adult films. Unlike most children's films, the characters and story take themselves very seriously, and unlike adult films, this movie is free of the foul language, gory violence, and sexual themes that generally permeate the screen. (I'm still impressed that, in spite of the main theme [killing dragons], not single drop of blood is shed on screen, and the only death in the film is of the terrible Green Death, which is just a horrible explosion of fire.)
Overall, it's a very well-rounded piece of literature with an uncomplicated plot, purely endearing characters that are portrayed expertly, and an antagonist that takes itself seriously and forces us to take it seriously. And of course, above all this, there is a cohesive, exciting, brilliant score which enhances the film in all the right ways. I've never listened to a movie score that's appealed to me this much--I can't bring myself to skip a single song. That says a lot. And there's so much depth even to the score, with its interweaving of melodies and textures within the themes. Often Hiccup is portrayed as the flute while Toothless is portrayed by the violin. It's incredible to listen to their melodies intertwine and dance, changing according to their moods and perceptions just as they do on screen. (Notice how Toothless's theme, although it begins as a haunting, foreboding violin solo, eventually becomes the playful, bouncing rhythm in "Forbidden Friendship?" Just as that scene shows us a new, playful, endearing side of Toothless, the musical theme that accompanies him shows us a new, playful, endearing side of the previously haunting melody.
I could go on and on and on...
But the bottom line is that it's perfect for all ages. Kids know when they're being "talked down to" or "treated like kids," and this movie does the opposite. Its depth (in addition to many other aspects) draws the kids in for reasons they can't describe, and draws the adults in even more because we can relate to the the film and understand our reactions.
And golly, what respect for the characters to treat them as real people who can and do get hurt when they do crazy things.
But enough ranting about the movie (it was inspired by some of the initial comments I saw in the picture--sorry!). The picture is great. You've captured their personalities very well. It's a wonderful tribute to this wonderful film, and I especially love the color palette. Fave.

I couldn't agree more.
If I could I'd just copy and paste that and post it as a comment of my own.
Perfectly describes it, very analytical c:
And the Sountrack...oh god <3

I had a wonderful time reading your impressions and anlysis of the movie, and I agree with you!
I especially liked what you said about the music, how it fits perfectly both characters. I like how Toothless' theme is very dark and ominous, the first time you hear it. You realize this creature IS dangerous, it's not a fluffy harmless puppy... Then the movie developps the character and shows us all the different aspects of his personnality. I find that very well done, very well integrated throughout the plot.
Anyway, wonderful movie, I've got to see it again! And again and again and again...

Aww, you're killin' me with cuteness!
Just saw this movie yesterday and it's literally the best thing I've seen in years as far as DreamWorks or Disney/Pixar is concerned (although 'Up' is a very close second 
One thing I really love about this is the dark colours; normally, they might make it seem gloomy, but these two are such a cheery duo that it almost enhances how different they are from the world around them.
Bottom line: great job.

The soundtrack IS beautiful. And so is this picture!
The sky is very ominous looking, which is the perfect contrast to such a nicely paired friendship.

ooooh trop bien ! J'ai a-doré ce film ! Je crois que c'est l'un des meilleurs films d'animation que j'ai pu voir ces dernières années, et j'en ai vu un paquet ! En totu cas j'aime beaucoup les zibouigouis du rocher et la faço dont Toothless surplomb Harold (ouaip je me souviens plus comment s'écrit son nom en vo ...)

Yes, the soundtrack really brought the movie to new levels of awesome. Seriously, it's the only thing I've been listening two for a solid straight week now.
Anyway, I love the picture so much! It's looks as if it's about to rain and Toothless is shielding Hiccup. X3

What a cute pic 
I reeally want to see this movie, the history looks interesting, do anyone know if the movie is made from a book?
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh, fantastic! I watched HTTYD yesterday, and I swear I was squealing and cheering louder than the kids all around me. Such a great film, and Toothless is ADORABLE, something that you've done a great job in capturing in this piece. There's something about this film that means it cannot and will not leave your head once you've seen it - not that I'm complaining!
Favourited!
