HoW To TrAiN yOur DRAGON!

Hey guys, I just went to the cinema and saw "How to train your Dragon", the new film from Dreamworks. I must say I came out happy, but personally expected more. First of all the story is really good, I loved it. The animation was great, such as effects. But let's talk about the 3d design...

1. CHARACTERS
They were created with a fresh style, influenced by Nicolas Marlet. They were cool, the eyes expression, the gestures, really well done.

BUT... THE DRAGONS
I really expected more from them. The design reminded me of POKEMON, that movie from a couple of years ago. Isn't it weird the way "CHIMUELO" looks alike to MEWTWO? Even to STICH, the little monster of Lilo. Even though I loved the expression of the eyes, how they worked the pupil was nicely done to produce the ideal feeling.


The other ones, definitely looked simple. I know is a different style, new kind of look, but even people that don't know about animation told me that they could look better. I totally agree. Being a huge fan of eyes, those looked just like spheres.

 2. TEXTURE
It looked really good, can't deny it. The people skin loves it.

3. ANIMATION
No words, totally great. Dynamics look so smooth, the hair... I mean that is so good.

I guess people will have different opinions, but this is a potential proof that even the new ideas have influence or realte to another project... even if it is original someone could have created a similar one. Anyway good movie.
