Also disagree about HTTYD2 being "all over the place". Everything about the two movies is very, very tight. You just have to know where the structure is.

<r><br/> Have been thinking about this today. I'll clarify a few things, then I'll make my official guess (or what I would like to see happen)<br/> <br/> I think the theme for the overarching story might be "Understanding". Hiccup spends much of HTTYD trying to understand this mysterious dragon, the...

<r>What puzzles me is this--<br/> <br/> A continuing franchise is the most profitable, at a point where Dreamworks is trying to build itself as a franchise-based company. If this "There were dragons when I was a boy" is taken literally, that ends the franchise (unless it becomes "How to Train Your Y...

For HTTYD2 Randy Thom added a camel's voice to the Toothless vocalization mix. Now Toothless sounds more like Jay Baruchel. And me, come to think about it. And most people from Beijing. Hmmm....

Ah that's right; the actual quote is "There were dragons when I was a boy"--

References to the books--Image of Snotlout going "What do I do?"--that whole storyline would fit nicely in HTTYD3

<t>Also negative space:<br/> <br/> The Black Stallion books made a big impression on me when I was a kid, and were my very favorite, right up to 7th grade, when I found a copy of The Two Towers in the library rack.<br/> <br/> You may know that the "Forbidden Friendship" scene was based on the "Black...
