It may not do that much to differentiate itself from the original, but at this point, I'll take a remake that barely changes a good story, over one who's changes contradict the original's message. *cough* Lilo and Stitch *cough*

How To Train Your Dragon’s live action remake is BIG PROOF that live action movies can be good if they keep the spirit of the animated original movie strong. Live and Learn, Disney!

Nico and Mason’s chemistry is actually insane on their interviews. I guess we’ll see more of their dynamics on the second movie where Astrid isn’t noticeably loathing on Hiccup. lmao

This is how you do a live action remake. I hope they do the rest of the series!

This really is the best live action remake 😍 so many frame by frame shots that made it into this from the animated. I just saw it 2 days ago again in the cinema and I cry and get constant chills every time I think about it. You just feel how much love and time went into the making of this❤️

My Dad was a big dude with a big beard like Hiccup's Dad. He passed away of leukemia in 2002 when i was 12. I am now 36 years old sitting here crying because his Dad told him he was proud to have him as a son.

Nico and Masons chemistry might not show in the movie, but their interviews together are crazy??? The chemistry they share in real life is amazing ❤

@15:04 - she's not played to be overly sassy which was necessary for the animated version because voice acting requires nuanced exaggeration. i think nico did a stellar job bringing astrid to life and mason was the right amount of awkward. seriously this is the most i've enjoyed a live adaptation of any of the animated films they've done. glad i caught this one in theaters and genuinely excited for the next one.
