My aunt saw the CGI Lion King and talked about how good it was and asked if I saw it. I said no, I saw the original which I heard was better so there was no reason for me to see it. She continued to say how this one was better because its so lifelike. I asked if she saw teh original and she said with derision" No, thats a cartoon". There is still a bias against animation.

Hey, alteori! I love your channel! And also, no you're not alone. I honestly thought I was alone seeing everyone else's reactions to this garbage. Imo, toothless looks horrible. And I think you said this in your video, and I agree, the trailer looked fan made. Like, everything from the costumes, to the casting, to the setting, to the CGI all looked like a college/fan made project.

The question is would it really kill you to have a favorite movie that is available to watch in 2 mediums? It feels like unnecessary hate and rejection if you're eating good as a HTTYD fan.

@gamewriteeye769 I don't care for darker. The books weren't darker. It's diverging even further from the source material on greater scope that the original.

[@nikibogwater6598]

The thing that actually makes me furious about all of this is that it feeds into and strengthens western culture's bias against animation as an art form. Animation is still largely seen as "lesser" than live-action. I've known people who have to be all but pressured into watching an animated movie--even if they think the plot sounds interesting! And even when they do end up enjoying a good animated movie (such as HTTYD), there's that underlying sentiment of "Well, it was ALMOST perfect, except for the fact that it wasn't live-action (or hyper-realistic uncanny valley CGI pretending to be live-action)." And this ticks me off more than just about anything in the world because it's basically the same thing as looking at a beautiful painting and going "Well, this is good, but it'd be better if it was a photograph." Animation is not the cheaper, easier alternative to live-action. It's actually much more expensive and time-consuming. The artists who love this medium and choose to tell stories with it deserve to be respected and held in the same (or heck, even HIGHER) regard as the greatest live-action filmmakers.

And, even if you do equal the REAL movie, it will always only be a derivative copy of the original. But, as you mention, the point of this movie is feed people member berries and to be a ($250 million commercial) for Universal Studios HTTYD ride.

I genuinely thought it was a fan trailer because it was a shot-per-shot remake.

[@kayleighdriessen]

CGI Toothless doesn't seem too different from animated Toothless but obviously animated Toothless takes the cake because he looks more akin to a cute goofy cat just by his eyes while the other one looks only like just a big lizard.

Pete's Dragon was also a pretty decent Live Action remake that did something different from the original. It wasn't anything amazing but it was ok.

[@brittanyh003]

When I saw it announced on a public FB post the other day, I commented "I just don't understand why we need this," and *hundreds* of people responded to me. Some agreed, some said it was a money grab or that it was about Epic Universe (okay, yeah), but a lot of people said they really want it, called me a Karen, said I'm not the target audience, and verbally attacked me for questioning it. I think the original trilogy is near perfect. I think these remakes are lifeless when you compare them to the expressiveness of the original animation. I just don't get why people keep consuming this stuff.

[@atobosrolloutyoutube7886]

Honestly to me so far it looks good but will see with the final product cautiously optimistic

[@AKATenn]

That is not how I reacted at all, i was disappointed and disheartened... it's not how it's the same that makes me angry, it's how it's different. They need to make new things, not remake old things.

[@emmanuelsilvera8032]

Was that middle finger at 3:13 intentional? 😅

[@wjzav1971]

Yeah, I had the same reaction. Read the comments below the official trailer on YT and everyone was like "Wow, this looks so cool" "Hype" "Great to have Gerald Butler back as Stoic". I have three possible explenations: -Bunch of twenty somethings. Most of them say they saw this film as a kid, so perhaps they have not been burned yet with life action remakes as we older ones have. -The trailer included interviews iwth the director and staff and apparently its mostly the same creative team, including the same director, and in the interview, he talks very passionatly about how he wants to make this movie. So my guess is that many believe him and that this one will actuall be good. -Its not Disney, and apparently Disney is the only company that can hoark up life - action remakes.

[@KamiAnimeS1]

Yeah, all these films as a kid and love them. And I would also do chronological timeline from all the TV shows and Netflix shows to prepare for the third movie. It was fantastic. But I’m hype for this live action remake, especially since the original creator still involved and some people from the animated movie reprise their role

[@ThePrincessCH]

Universal has done some live action remakes in the past. They did a couple of live action films of "The Flintstones" and one of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas."

[@matityaloran9157]

0:24, and the trailer indicates, it has nothing to do with the original book either

[@terrywalters4917]

I agree. No race-bending. Astrid should be blonde like before. At least match hair colour, match character physicality and scenes, and add new characters, a new plot line, and nuance if you go that live-action version route.

[@matityaloran9157]

@ I would actually go much further than that. Turn Astrid back into Camicazi, Toothless back into what he was in the book, have the dragons speak Dragonese. Have Snotlout be Hiccup’s bullying cousin and Fishlegs be Hiccup’s best friend. Have How To Train Your Dragon by Professor Yobbish be a book that Hiccup reads. Embrace the source material

LMAO Exactly! Videos like this are why I'm subscribed 😊😂 JesterBell gets sees through the b.s.

[@BigSal51]

Haha! I love the hysteria over how insane you thought the reaction was, kinda looks like this broke you just a bit 😂 I grew up in the 90's, live action remakes were a thing then too. The ones that stood out to me were The Flinstones, The Jungle Book (with Jason Scott Lee that had real animals that didn't talk) and 101 Dalmations. I remember being really hyped to see them because it felt like the stories and characters that you knew and loved "coming to life". Animation feels almost like a dream when you're a kid, whereas live action movies felt more real, and when you see an animated and live action version of the same thing, it felt like the live action version was the "real", "grownup" version. I felt the same way when watching the very first TMNT movie for the first time, after having watched the cartoon show, same with Ghostbusters; in that situation, the live action versions actually did come out first. It just inspires curiosity more than anything. Of course as an adult, I now feel differently. When you realise that animation isn't just for kids and in fact many of the animated shows and films you grew up loving are still great in adulthood, you realise you don't need it to be live action to enjoy it. You also realise that whether its live action or animated, all film is artifice; yes it can be more easy to relate if something has real humans in it, but animation has that power and more, and considering how many big movies now are more than half CGI, seems like filmmakers realise that there's only so much you can achieve in live action. So I think these remakes will definitely have a greater appeal to kids than adults, even though they're marketed to adults who grew up with the originals. But of course it'll be the originals that'll end up enduring, which is already happening with the disney remakes, even though they of course all have their fans. HTTYD will be the same I imagine, coz like you, when I saw this teaser, all I saw was the original but with real humans in silly costumes, and a CGI dragon that looks almost identical to what was already an exaggerated cartoon design, totally out of place in live action; it would be like if they manipulated the Hiccup actor's features to be more like the animated version with massive eyes, large head, pencil neck and extra thin, gangly limbs, that would be ridiculous because of course the features were exaggerated in the animation because its ANIMATION! They didn't even attempt to create something that might pass off as a real dragon; yes okay, its fantasy so there are no rules for this, but even something like Smaug in The Hobbit or Draco from Dragonheart, both very expressive, talking dragons in live action, had designs that felt like they belonged in the real world. That's what live action remakes should be doing, translate and change to fit the medium. The designs in the original HTTYD were very stylized as all Dreamworks movies are, they fit that particular aesthetic. The live action doesn't look stylised from what I can tell, with the real actors, real costumes and sets, location shooting, the dragons should reflect that. But instead they're capitalising on nostalgia and fan service, it looks like a fan movie, not something you'd think a serious filmmaker would do. Early days though, we'll have to wait and see. But till then, in my opinion, live action remakes that cater only for fans of the originals are just trying to live up to a child's impression of what "real" and "grownup" mean. Fine for kids, but for the rest of us we should be demanding more.

[@GIJoeFan97]

Like, who even wanted this movie? The original animated version of How to Train Your Dragon is already perfect, it doesn't need a remake.

[@PLKinka]

Also I always say that I see hate for fantasy and animation as a sign of lack of intelligence: if you can’t understand abstraction and analogy, you need to have things simplified and made real. Basically “how would you feel if you didn’t eat a breakfast” exercise.
