Teaser Prediction: How to Train Your Dragon

November 4, 2009

Since this trailer is officially labeled a “Teaser,” I’m going to wait on the full “official” trailer to write up my predictions. Still, I can’t help but make some observations.

First, the voice acting is just not working for me. If the human characters were goofy caricatures, the comical delivery of the main character might fit, but I have a hard time believing that that voice won’t wear really thin by the time an hour or so has passed. And forget about any real pathos. This movie had better be comedy through and through, or else the protagonist is going to sink it.

I do like the dragon design, though. It’s original.
