    DreamWorks has stepped up its game and problably thought "Well, we can do better than Disney in the live action trend too". However, though I believe they will put more effort into the script, the main issue remains: these movies were animated for good reasons. They work in that media, not as live actions.

      As much as I hate Dreamworks doing a live action remake, I do believe they will handle it better. For one, the original directors are in charge of it, and two, there was a play made for HTTYD, so there is a chance.
      My argument does fail in the latter as I have not watched it and dont know if its good or not, but I want to have hope that it could be good or at least ok and not downwrite horrendous.

      I'm also tired of traditional animators not stepping up, and making new content for cinemas, and television as an alternative to the crap that the big media conglomerates churn out. Almost as if they fell they couldn't compete with CG, or live action, or they would be shamed out of business for not 'conforming' with what they think the public wants. (It's like of certain game developers didn't bother to put out classic looking 2D games in A market that's got way too much 'Tripple A' 3D games to fill A void left by companies that took pride in making 2D games.) All animation veterans, and anyone who makes 2D animation for UA-cam, or Newgrounds need to step up, and fill A void left by the big media conglomerates if we ever want to see traditional animation survive.

    Dreamworks did one of the BEST pieces of representation and immersion I've ever seen in the original HTTYD film. You want to know what it was? They had an Icelandic singer Jónsi sing the credit song Sticks & stones in Icelandic in the second half of the song. Now, Name a single scandanavian actor/actress. Bet you can't. Where is their representation? When does mutilculturalism work and not work, is what the producers should've asked themselves. They should've had a scandinavian cast. That would've increased the immersion and world building. But by having multiculturalism in this specific scenario, you lose the immersion of the film. It's the same as having white people in Asian period dramas as casting. It's the same as casting white people in the ATLA live action years ago when they were in a very Asian setting. It ruined the immersion and world-building.
    Can all us HTTYD fans just agree to not watch this in cinemas? I'm sick of studios sucking the life and magic out of incredible animations by using realism. Sick of them shitting on the face of animators.

If they wanna remake something they should do their more underrated pieces: Road to El Dorado or Sinbad.

    I have always loved HTTYD movies and the entire franchise (except for those modern series) and I am so worried about how this is gonna look in love action. The charm of dragons lies in their expressions, in Toothless’ funny cute face and how the dragons are so similar to their Vikings. Making them live action either means creating grotesque creepy monsters which is not really suited for children’s movie or designing something like live action Pinocchio which we all know how it went visually. HTTYD has unique design for characters and backgrounds realistic enough to not need to be remade. Besides the animation of these movies is just gorgeous for 2010/2014/2019 and I see no need to take away all the magic it has as is.

    Also im disagreeing with the casting because imo the guy looks more like spiderman than hiccup.. he isnt giving lanky little viking to me. like maybe we could pull out Scandinavian actors out instead of american ones if we’re trying to be realistic about it

    The best way for this type of films to end is not going to see them. If you don't want them to make more don't buy a ticket for it. Companies will go where the money is, If this remake is a flop they won't risk to make more.

    I agree. I also find many of the live action remakes annoying. I mean, come on. There is so much more that can be done with animation (e.g., creating scenes involving fire with a much lower risk of a serious accident occurring). In fact, one the few times I can remember a live action remake being better than an animated movie is when Peter Jackson decided to create his adaptation of The Lord of the Rings triology. The reason for this is because, having seen both the animated movie from 1978 and the live action triology from 2001- 2003, it is obvious that there was a significant amount of passion behind every detail, from the battle scenes to the way in which the CG elements are carefully blended into the triology to really make the world of Middle Earth come to life on screen. As for How to train your Dragon, I think that the main franchise is perfect just the way it is; Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, and all the other cast members are the perfect fit for their respective characters. As such, I think that a live action remake would completely eradicate the most important elements of the original franchise (e.g., Hiccup's incredibly powerful bond with Toothless), meaning that I have no intentions to see it. Besides, there are times when a movie simply demands animation as the medium of choice, regardless of which type of animation it is.

    When I heard they were doing a live action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon" I was actually heartbroken. Not only is it one of my favourite movies ever made but also the subject of viking culture and mythology is very important to me personally - and judging by the casting they won't do as good of a job in that aspect. I definitely won't be watching the remake cause I don't want it to taint my memories and fondness towards the original.

He said that "Well maybe it will make so much money they'll have to make another one" or something along those lines.
    At the time I didn't know to say "I hope not because then it'll just be a cynical cash grab and it will ruin the franchise." But now looking back after the Nine Realms and now the announcement of the live-action remake...
    Let's just say that life has a way of cruel irony.

  • @danielcontreras561

    Good job!
    While watching this, near the end, I immediately thought of Doug Walker's criticism with 'The Cat in the Hat' (2003) - which is that what works in animation might not always work in live action and he used the Things as an example because of how terrified he felt while watching the film. To paraphrase Walker, the reason why the original Things worked was because the artist can get away with odd facial features while maintaining the cute appeal of their designs. And I agree with him. I think those, the fish voiced by Sean Hayes, the Who's from 'The Grinch' (2000), and even Sebastian from this year's 'The Little Mermaid' go into uncanny valley and make me uncomfortable to watch since these live action remakes underestimated the power of animation.

Attack on titan & Fma: Brotherhood are 2 of my favorite shows of all time but I also love the live action Rurouni Kenshin movies. They have the advantage of still being amazing martial arts samurai movies on their own. The live action Alice in Borderland is also pretty good. I'm not fully against live action retellings & adaptations.

    The only way I don't see this as being disrespectful to the original is if DreamWorks is doing what Disney isn't
    Completely accurately adapting the original work, the books so we have two different films not trying to have one replace the other
    I could actually still respect DreamWorks going down this route effectively double dipping on IP but like how Sony made different Spider-Man series
    And in this matter they COULD justify stopping at just this and Shrek
    Like I could get behind Disney making the live action Little Mermaid follow the original fairy tale

    • @crystallion1269
      @crystallion1269 Рік тому +2

      Legit… actually p cool to imagine, the books are incredible. I also think it’d be difficult but… idk, some of the books’ plots can be filler-y (don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of character development, but you could still have that along the way over different adventures). That and the charm and eventual darkness of the books is totally different than the series we’ve got, and I think you could get both comedy and serious dread from more realistic-looking dragons (the latter being the villain at the end of the series, a dragon named Furious. He’s terrifying just to imagine by words).
      Unfortunately I really don’t think that’s what this’ll be. Same directors? It’s funny bc in the past I think people immediately took that as a hopeful sign but… yeah… honestly feel a little bad for them considering it’s their baby that’s probably gonna get butchered even if it’s not the script or whatever - the CGI alone might kill the movie, we’ve seen it before over and over. They might regret signing
      up for it by the end, cuz I doubt they’ve just gone in it for the money and hate their films or whatever, last I heard they only had fond sentiments for HttyD.
      I’d still put my ticket on this concept if I could influence this tragedy somehow.
      Oh and unfortunately, if it’s been confirmed that someone is “Astrid” then… unless they’re doing a name swap… she’s the animated HTTYD’s original character. In the books her counterpart is a somewhat similar girl (who does have a not remotely bird-like dragon called Stormfly. She can speak Norse!) called Camicazi, who’s Hiccup’s BFF besides Fishlegs (who’s totally different in the books) and also from another tribe entirely. So unless they just swapped out the names for nostalgia/IP appeal, but again, I REALLY doubt it 😢
