I think the reason people are using dreamworks to hate on Disney is because Dreamworks relies on more of a fantasy element where there's magic and fairies and it's all set in the past or in a magic land where everything's interesting whereas Disney relies on pixar and Marvel to make shitty movies that all have the same character tropes and the same morals that are all set in the modern world or the future
Dreamworks can acknowledge that people don't really like the present because of the whole screen addiction thing so they stick to a timeline and a theme where screens are rarely and sometimes never necessary while Disney likes to focus on being inclusive so they modernise all their stories.
Also Dreamworks is more open to experimental work and the animators have more creative freedom to draw things in different styles or give the characters different features and personalities and details and little mannerisms and habits (Take Hiccup for example: handicapped, left handed, talks with his hands alot, adventurous, smart but stupid about it, very peaceful) while all Disney's characters are hollow and a sort if copy and paste theme.
Dreamworks takes more risks to put out movies with plots and characters that no ones ever seen before while Disney just takes stories they've already done, changes up the characters a little bit and them adds a message about generational trauma.
This leads to my rant about how much I hate httyd 3.
The soundtrack was too melodramatic. And the visuals were all bright and colourful to get the attention of 2 year olds. The light fury design was pathetic. The only reason the light fury exists is to be Toothless's girlfriend. Then they went against everything they'd worked for within the first 2 movies. In the first 2 it was all about how Hiccup and Toothless are bestfriends and stick together no matter what. That was even the moral in the 2 shows, first Christmas special and one of the short spin off films. But the third movie went against all of that and made them separate. It ruined the trilogy! The second movie however. The soundtrack fit perfectly for each scene and the colour scheme was perfect. In the scenes where Hiccup discovered his mother and the bewilderbeast nest the colours are appropriate and bright while not bombarding the screen with flashing lights and colours while the scenes featuring Drago had a more dark and sinister colour scheme, as well as the music becoming more heavy and ominous. Where as in the hidden world the colour scheme always had bright colours which made it feel less dark and scary. They modernised the Viking age so that it would be more appealing to younger generations. But the thing about the how to train your dragon fan base is that it mostly consists of people aged 12-27.
What if hiccups right shoulder wasn't dislocated in book 2?
What if Hiccup hadn't grabbed toothless in the cave in book 1?
What if Hiccup listened to Wodens fang and didn't help snotlout in book 11?
What if Eggingarde hadn't told him about the sand dragon?
What if Stoick didn't have Hiccup's book in his breast pocket when madguts the murderous shot him in book 6?
Someone needs to give Lil boy a mullet.
I adore Ruffnut
Ruffnut httyd is the character of all time, especially in rtte. She would set her brother on fire if it was funny. She almost killed a guy with dragon venom trying to save her brother. She’s a dumbass. She’s outwitted the gang’s most cutthroat enemies. Her family’s achievements are a point of pride. She hates her loser cousin for letting her brother down. She canonically smells like fish. Guys are tripping over each other trying to ask her out. Her middle name is Eugene. She’s even bisexual.
What was the best book in your opinion?
please please down on my knees does anyone want to talk about the httyd books everyone ik is getting sick of me talking to them about it omg
I will accept the ship name being kachako (ka/chako) but kacchako is crazy work to me. Mama a deku behind you
Should I make a fishlegs character ai to go with the other 2?
EVEN DRAWING IN THE REFLECTIONS 😖😖🙏🙏
The brain worm made me
I spent too long on this
I told my sister about this and she got mad at me because he's ugly but like, that's the best part 🤷
Confession: when I was 5 my sister would read the httyd books to me and I had the fattest crush on Hiccup
Anyone else ever think about their special interest and just start violently stimming or is that just me because I swear if someone asks me about the httyd books and then gets weirded out when I start flapping my hands and kicking my feet then I swear to God I'm gonna lose it
