Much better than Kung Fu Panda

Kung Fu Panda, the main line small characters become heroes, and the secondary line fights monsters. The specific scenes are copied from Hong Kong operas, the characters are OK but the background of the picture is rough, and the music is OK.
How to Train Your Dragon, the main line of the human-dragon war, the small characters of the sub-line become heroes, and the specific sections are old and new. Except for the protagonist, the characters are all very good, and all of them have distinct and vivid personalities. The picture is very mature.



Technology: Hair, water, grass, all the details are well done, and the aesthetics are relatively harmonious, without the inferior feeling of the emerald green background of the Kung Fu Panda. But the expression is still difficult to match the rich and interesting expressions of real people.
The reference scenery during the flight is not well done, and the flight sound is also not well done. The processing of the picture and sound is not as good as the top-secret flight in 2005. I love watching top-secret aerial chases, but there are very few of them.


Story: Rich plots and lovely characters. Sturdy Vikings, all kinds of interesting dragons. Toothless is very cute and cute, but it is too Japanese. The whole thing is the summoned beast of the Pokemon. The violent and powerful Viking at the beginning made my blood boil. His father Zhang Fei really looks like Zhang Fei, or Zhang Fei looks like a Viking. Later, the protagonist used the wisdom of craftsmen to help Toothless return to being unpleasant and become a partner. This design is also very reasonable. Toothless is very old-fashioned after being caught, and the boss fight is not exciting. You can win by flying up and down and squirting electricity. The boss's weakness should be hidden. That's wonderful.

Taming and pets are always a bit ugly. Dragons and humans are equal enemies. Can the Vikings help the dragon to defeat the big bad dragon together, can they control the dragon? Just because people are smarter? Just like a dog is a wolf, it loses its wildness after being tamed, and can live in harmony with its owner for a long time. Once the owner has any dissatisfaction, it will be abandoned or abused. If both sides are strong and can survive independently, and if both sides have difficulties in survival and development, they will cooperate together. After defeating the big bad dragon, the relationship between dragons and people is obviously more in line with the first state.

The most touching part of the whole film is still when the father really recognizes his son. This old stalk that every moviegoer can experience is always so tearful

How to Train Your Dragon quotes

  • Hiccup: [Stoick has just thrust a large battle axe into his hands] I... don't wanna fight dragons.

    Stoick: [chuckles] Oh, come on, yes you do.

    Hiccup: Rephrase: Dad, I *can't* kill dragons.

    Stoick: But you *will* kill dragons!

    Hiccup: No, I'm really, very extra sure that I *won't*.

    Stoick: It's time, Hiccup...

    Hiccup: Can you not *hear* me?

    Stoick: This is *serious*, son. When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you. Which means, you walk like us, you talk like us, and you think like us. No more of... this!

    [gestures to all of Hiccup]

    Hiccup: [miffed] You just gestured to *all* of me.

    Stoick: Deal?

    Hiccup: This conversation is feeling very one-sided...

    Stoick: *Deal*?

    Hiccup: [sighs, giving in] Deal.

  • Gobber: [to Hiccup during dragon training] Don't worry. You're small and you're weak. That'll make you less of a target! They'll see you as sick or insane and go after the more viking-like teens instead.
