I'm just saying if your movie needs to be 90% animated to work, you might as well just make it 100% animated

I think this comment on the new live action HTTYD trailer sums up my feelings on the matter pretty well
#i also have issues with the casting but thats neither here or there#the animated httyd franchise (idk about the books) have such strong themes of exploring and accepting the unknown#you could straight up have a movie where the gang makes it to like africa or something and it would be totally believable#and then they'd also have an opportunity to explore other cultures and non-european dragons/ other cultures relationships with dragons#but nah- they slapped a coat of paint on a preexisting character who was in the in group of the isolationist society#but whatever- dreamworks made it pretty clear they have no interest in doing anything creative with this franchise awhile ago#important disclaimer: i do not care about colorblind casting when a character's race or ethnicity isnt important to the story#like I have no beef with the percy jackson. little mermaid. wicked. or she ra casting and redesigns
