Ok I am going to rant a bit here about my favorite movie series: How To Train Your Dragon
When you hear that title you may think: are you talking about that kids movie that came out a while ago? Yes, it may be directed towards kids but I feel that adults can appriciate the film to, if not for the story if for the animation. HTTYD is the most beutifully animated movie I have ever seen and while the story writing does struggle in some areas, *cough* side characters *cough*, for the most part it does a very good job at making a thrilling yet emotional story, and (quick spoiler here) the ending of the third movie I think demonstrates this best. Also may I say that (SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT!!!) the two most beautiful scenes in my opinion are two scenes from the third movie. While the third may not be the best story wise I think that the animation was the best, especially in two scenes: The scene where toothless and light fury were flying above the clouds, and the scene where hiccup and astrid first go down to the hidden world. I like how the youtuber “Hello Future Me” put it for the first scene (and this may not be verbatI'm as this is from memory but I fully agree with it): “the most stunning scene in the third movie was the scene where toothless and light fury were flying above the clouds, it is ambitious to make a character that can’t talk but it is even more ambitious to make that character be able to show enough emotion and to make your audience know exactly what he is thinking, and they really tried this by giving that character a scene all to him self, no words were spoken in this which was really nice. I also noticed another thing which may or may not have been intentional, through the entire scene we never see the sky above or the ocean below, that gives you a kind of Weightless-ness where you don’t know what’s up or down, and I really like that”. I fully agree with this, he also mentions the score which was consistently great throughout all three films. The second scene I mentioned hit me not because I was bewildered by the animation and them going down and see the hidden world exposed, although that was great, it was really the song that did it for me. The song they paired with it was so perfect and it always seems to simply capture my imagination. I know that I am ranting here I just don’t think the HTTYD series gets enough credit (although it does get quite a bit of credit!). I just feel like people should try the movie even if they think they won’t like it. BTW if you want to watch the review “Hello Future Me” did there is a link at the bottom. I think he does a very good job at reviewing it, and I agree with him on a lot of what he says.
