Estae 06 Sep 2014, 19:39 I'd certainly want to hear about all these questions posted already.

I want to know about the life Toothless had before we met him. Where he came from, if he had siblings or parents or a gaurdian of some kind / whatever did he do when he wasn't fishing or sleeping.

And I'd also like to hear more about Astrid's backstory - what made her, well, "her". And what really defined her as the strong, fierce young woman she is?

But those aren't really technical questions, only questions we'd get from a story if it was ever animated, or implemented into httyd3.

As for technical questions, I'd like to hear more about the development behind the flying scenes - how difficult were they to animate? What were the animators' favorite scenes to create and why?

I'd also like some heafty explaination into the marketing and into the merchandise. While I loved a lot of the stuff that came from Dragons Live.. I feel like almost everything else is cheaply made from China, low quality, annd overrall a bad representation of the effort and genuinity that Dreamworks puts into the actual movie. It's insanely difficult to find good-quality merch without going on etsy and looking to pay $100+ for a small figurine that actally looks like so-so dragon/viking. :/

Not to mention, I'd like to know why the movie series itself is marketed to such a young age group (toddlers to age 9 or something)? when clearly the movies are meant for, and attract, a slightly older age group (more like 8-18 at least). While yes, the books themselves were for a younger crowd - the younger crowd who grew up with the books are older now.
