How to Train Your Dragon

Hurray time for yet another post that no one will read...woo... anyways, I will not be ragging on a movie today, but rather praising one. This movie is How to Train Your Dragon.

Personally, I loved this movie. I loved everything about it. The animations, the graphics, the story, everything. I thought that the story was very cute and heartfelt. But it also had some good action in it, which balanced the movie nicely.

The animations in the movie were awesome. They did a very good job at animating the characters, especially Toothless. I also really liked how the fire looked in the film, it was very realistic. Just as the fire was realistic looking, I thought they did a good job at making the human people look realistic while still keeping a cartoony look to them as well. Like on Hiccup, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but he has a little scar on his chin, which I thought was cool of them to add something so small like that, to really give the characters..well..character.

I'd also like to mention that I really thought Toothless was adorable. I thought his design was very sell thought out. I noticed that it was quite obvious that the designer for Toothless was the same as the one for Stitch from the movie Lilo and Stitch. I also thought it was cute how they made him act like a cat when he was in his cute mode.

Another note on the design: I found it very interesting that they designed him with a short neck. Most dragons you see have longer, snake like necks, but he didn't. This being intriguing to me, I decided I would have a go at drawing a dragon in the Toothless style, so here it is:


This little guy I like to call the Greenland Dwarf dragon. He's much smaller than Toothless, only standing about three feet high, or less. He's not exactly rideable, but even if he was, he wouldn't let you. They have temper problems.

Anyways, moving on. Overall I really enjoyed this movie thoroughly(I watched three times in one weekend), and I must recommend this to you to watch if you have not. It is a wonderfully cute movie, that is fun to watch over and over. 

Goodnight!
