Description Quick sketches of the main cast for How To Train Your Dragon (opens March 26th 2010 in North America).

It is different from the original book, so if you have read or are planning to read it...yes. Big differences.

The movie itself doesn't reinvent anything: it is an often told story with known themes, so no big surprises. What is important though is trying to tell it well, and for a movie that was done in barely more than a year (feature animated films usually take 2 to 4 years), I believe it has succeeded.

The more fun to draw are the other kids (the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Fishlegs and Snotlout), Gobber and Toothless. Sorry Hiccup and Astrid!

that kitty-dargon was the best thing about the entire movie.

All the "vikings" sounded like skrek.

Maybe Shrek could have hidden amongst the vikings. Time to rewatch the movie, see if he can be spotted, heh heh!

The fanships are taking position, soon the sky will be lightened with the fires of the shipping war.

And that's not yet the worst, what's really creeping me out are some 34's that are already started invading the net...

rufftoon In reply to UncleFester84 [2010-03-30 06:29:43 +0000 UTC]

Depending on the fandom, the shipping wars may be mild.
I'm not surprised that there are some 34's out there already. Man those artists work fast.

I just saw the movie last night. Absolutely loved it! I was positively blown away by the sprawling, lush landscapes and flying sequences, and I only saw it in 2D! I really liked the designs for everything, from the village to the dragons to the endearing characters. Everything went together really well. Great soundtrack, exciting action sequences, and overall a fantastic movie. Definitely two thumbs up from me!

I'm jealous: I would like to see this movie without the 3D glasses. No 2D version is playing in my area.

I just saw the movie this afternoon, and I must say, it blew me away! It is one of the best movies I've seen to date. The characters were phenominal, and even though the story line was predictable, I was still surprised at a few points along the way. I have never read the book, so I can't say if it was a faithful adaptation or not, but I know that I will be reading as soon as I can.

rufftoon In reply to ShoyDragonrider [2010-04-02 07:29:34 +0000 UTC]

Oh, there are big differences between the book and the movie. The two should be enjoyed on their own merit. You could see the movie almost as a prequel to the books if you squint hard enough.

ShoyDragonrider In reply to rufftoon [2010-04-03 17:51:32 +0000 UTC]

I may have to seek the book out then. I'm surprised I hadn't read it before... *dragon-nerd*

Anyways, the movie was fantastic. And while I fear what the internet will come up with (note to self: stay AWAY from ff.net for a while) I'm glad it's getting such a positive response.

rufftoon In reply to ShoyDragonrider [2010-04-03 20:23:27 +0000 UTC]

The book is geared towards young readers. Depending on your age, it may have easily flown below your radar.
Ha ha, you may have to stay away from ff.net forever! It's just going to keep growing.

rufftoon In reply to azartti [2010-03-31 05:52:25 +0000 UTC]

You'll have to take them as separate entities. The movie could almost be seen as something that happens before the books.
