HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (2010) — dir. Chris Sanders

i'm not even joking how to train your dragon is in my opinion one of the best films ever made in terms of its themes and the messages it wants you to take away from it alone. but it doesn't stop there. it ALSO has an incredible score, compelling characters, and beautifully designed and animated dragons. what more could you possibly ask for.

next dragon up

WIGGLY TOOTHLESS!! {x}

Best quality: his wiggles

I, a lover of these movies, am incapable of scrolling past this without sharing Toothless and his happy wiggles. 

“film majors” mad at me for calling how to train your dragon the pinnacle of cinema how does it feel to know i’m better at your degree than you

Ah yes, the pinnacle of cinema. What was the moral of that story again? *checks notes* Ah yes, if you severely injure and kidnap an endangered species, Stockholm Syndrome will turn it into a pet you can use to vaporise people

don’t just leave this in the tags op

the way how to train your dragon completely ruined my internal scale for good and unique dragon design for the rest of time

dreamworks was confronted with 2 really important questions regarding creature design in how to train your dragon. one: “how do we make the dragon scary but loveable?” two: “how do we make the dragon- a creature that’s nearly a millennia old- fresh…but still recognizable as a dragon?” and they literally just went “cat” and it WORKED

it’s so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like

WHY IS SHE MORE FRENCH THAN THE REST OF THEM???

WHY ARE THESE GUYS MORE SCOTTISH THAN THE KIDS??

(also, aren’t they Vikings or something?)

To be fair, almost everyone in Ratatouille does have a French accent. The real question is why Linguini and also all the rats sound intensely American

If it was just the rats I’d say it’s because the movie can be interpreted to mean that the rats understand but don’t necessarily speak human languages so the rat dialog isn’t literally taking place the way we see it but that doesn’t explain why Linguini has a rat accent

LINGUINI HAS A RAT ACCENT 

anyone else remember being like 13 years old and watching that scene in how to train your dragon (2010) where hiccup carefully navigates the maze of lines toothless has drawn between them without breaking or stepping on any of them and with his back to toothless and eyes shut to demonstrate how he’s willing to put total faith in him not to harm him or run away and to show humility and a desire to establish a natural bond of mutual trust instead of the arrogance to try to force toothless to submit to his will and hearing the music crescendo and fade into silence as he finally crosses the last obstacle so that they’re standing mere inches from one another, tension built on years of bad blood between their two races, so immense it’s almost like a physical barrier, separating them, and after what feels like forever toothless presses his nose gently into hiccup’s outstretched palm and it fits perfectly like it was made solely for that specific purpose, and feeling all the hairs on your neck stand up and a stifling sensation that brought actual tears to your eyes rise in your throat as it touched something profound and full of unspeakable yearning inside you

You just want a dragon

Well of course I want a fucking dragon
