That could be.
I’m hoping the next trailer will be a little bit better. The problem with the first trailer was that it focused too much on the comedy while trying to get the story across to the audience.
That’s what I thought^^.
I don’t get why people are comparing this to HHTYD. The only simularities I see are the midevil setting and some of the Scottish voices. Other then that, I barely see a resemblence between the two.
I don’t there’s much to compare other than the two you mentioned, I guess people just like to for some reason.
It’s a fairy tale, a lot of them are located in England.
Neither HTTYD nor Brave are located in England, so that’s definitely not a similitude.
I also don’t see any dragons in this.
Oh, i’ve heard it’s quite a common misconception that Scotland is in England 
. Whilst they’re both part of the same nation, they’re not the same country.
Exactly
And, anyway, I think the most common setting for fairy tales is either Germany or Nordic countries, as the most famous stories were written there.
And I will state a slightly irrelevant rant about the comparsions to this film to HTTYD:
How To Train Your Dragon is not set in Scotland! Getting Gerard Butler to voice a character does not make the thing Scottish. Heck, with the nothern lights, and with Viking history, and the fact that the characters have Scandinavian surnames (Hofferson, Thorston) and that Jonsi does the song at the end, actually suggests to me that the film is set in Iceland.
Rant over.
And yeah I agree with that most fairy tales are Norse 
.
I’ve made the same rant about HTTYD not being set in Scotland about two times too!
I can’t believe it escapes people!
I don’t think you should be blaming viewers of those films for getting Scottish culture confused with Viking/Nordic culture. Rather, one should blame the filmmakers for consciously choosing to have Scottish actors portray characters in the film. My dad pointed that out before anything else when we saw the movie in theaters because it bothered him. Now, I don’t know what accents would have fit the film otherwise, so I won’t really complain about casting Scottish actors in HTTYD.
Also, I noticed some physical similarities between Brave and HTTYD, such as the muted color palettes and grey, overcast skies, which remind me of Scotland landscapes. And yes, some of the apparel worn by men in the Brave trailer reminds me of the Viking gear in HTTYD, and the two fathers of the respective films have similar builds. This is NOT to say that Pixar nor Dreamworks are copying each other, but the similarities are there, even if it only appears that way to an ignorant American (and even I have Scottish ancestors).
That said, this is a rare chance for Pixar to immerse a story in another culture, and knowing how they pay attention to little details (cleaning the undersides of drawers 
), I’d like to see how much justice they give Scottish culture. And I acknowledge that it’s not their fault if Dreamworks decided to use stereotypes of Scottish men in HTTYD.
I alway’s thoght most took place arond medieval England.
^ Most originate from Europe (Brothers grimm),can’t think of many from england though.
It will be interesting to see Pixar do a film set in another time.
I hope we get to see more stills sometime in the distant future.
That would be nice^^.
We probably will. Why wouldn’t we?
Well, the island that served as the inspiration for Berk was a place off the Scottish coast the author spent her summers on as a child.
