I don’t really understand how HtTYD is over rated. I’m not going to defend Avatar anymore, even though I still don’t see why some of us hate it. It was a good movie.

Now as for HtTYD, I think some of us are just biased for PIXAR, and any other animated film is less good. Personally, this is the best movie I saw in 2010. I think some of us just want to glorify TS3 by bashing other good animated movies, even though trust me, PIXAR got enough money and praise from Toy Story 3. They’ll be okay.

Avatar certainly wasn’t a bad movie, I just didn’t find it as entertaining as my friends did. It sustained my interest, which is quite impressive considering the length of the movie. I think that, in my case at least, it just wasn’t the kind of movie I could really love. I didn’t really like the characters and some parts of the storyline.

I liked HtTYD a lot more than Avatar, and I think it is definately one of the best animated films in recent years. I just think that it is slightly overrated- it deserves praise, but I don’t always agree with the amount of praise given. That said, I wouldn’t argue about it if HtTYD won Best Animated (although I don’t pay much attention to awards shows, it does annoy me when movies that aren’t good win).

In the end, this is all just opinion. I think that these two films are good movies (well, Avatar was okay) but that they are sometimes given more praise than I would give them myself.

Avatar actually did reminds me of Princess Mononoke a bit, though I prefer Princess Mononoke because I care about the characters a lot more. I didn’t connect with Jake and the gang in Avatar too much.

I understand what you mean, it does make a difference with how you feel about the characters. Like Jake and whatever her blue face was never really appealed to me. However I love Dances With Wolves (which is virtually the same story, only waaaay better) and I cared more about the characters in that movie and what happened to the Sioux tribe. I really didn’t care what happened to the Na’vi really. Maybe because they don’t really exist. But in Dances With Wolves case, it spoke more to me because the Sioux were real people.

q-o-p, I see what you mean. I was just really uncomfortable and disturbed with TS3 for so long, and HtTYD was so special to me. After that movie, I wanted to go out and hug people I hate. I wanted to see things differntly. It really impacted me, while TS3, while a good movie, was not very satisfying to me unti recently. I didn’t say HtTYD was better than TS3, I just find it baffling–and mildly personally offensive–that everyone here seems to think HtTYD is over rated. It’s such a special movie; even PIXAR has only reached that peak 3-4 times(which is enough to be truly great anyway.)

I just thought that people here could be mor open-minded and accepting of good animation than that. I’ve lost a lot of respect for certain members here over this. PIXAR does not equal good, and good does not equal PIXAR. PIXAR has made more good fims and certainly more great films than Dream Works, but even the most ignorant, snobby of animation fans should give credit where it is due.

What you said is very true. Pixar does not equel the best, because opinions on aniamted films are what they are, opinions. But we all must keep in mind that this site is called Pixar Planet, so there’s a higher ration of Pixar fans to Dreamworks fans. Just like if you go to the How to Drain Your Dragon Forums, since it’s a forum for just that, there’ll be more Dreamworks fans there than here.

[YouAreAToy1]

i think how to train your dragon was awsome and im not scared to say on my list it tops some of my favorite pixar movies so yeah i give credit where it is do dreamworks isnt all bad only thing i hate them for is milking shrek dry the first 2 movies were good after that the series just became a bunch of crude jokes and some moments that were meant to be funny but ended up being awkward silence in the audience.

[IncredigirlVirginia]

YouAreAToy!!!, I totally agree with you.

EJE, I know it is. But being on a Pixar forum is not a reason to trash any other movie. Especially one this good. Now I said good, not good to my taste. I truly believe HtTYD is a good movie.

I know, but you need to remember that there’s a larger percentage of people with a more pro-Pixar opinion, and even some with biases.

I think HTTYD is a great movie, my third favorite animated one this year! (Which is saying a lot, there were a great bunch of animated films this year, even Yogi Bear had it’s moments (If you ignore the story and focus on the animation aspects of it)

Havent seen yogi bear yet the cg styles looks similar to scooby-doo like yogi’s face has alot of features scooby’s did in the eyes and stuff i think the people who worked on the live action scooby movie’s are also did the yogi bear movie.

You’re probably on to something there, both were animated by Warner Brothers.

You also should keep in mind that the originals of Yogi Bear and Scooby Doo were both done by Hanna-Barbera. I’m not certain, but most likely a fewof the authors and artists from those shows in the 60s worked on both.

But you’re missing the point. Preferring TS3 over Dragons or PIXAR over DW doesn’t make Dragons over rated.

That’s not what I’m saying. I dont’ think Dragons is overrated. I like that movie.

I like Dragons, I just feel that it’s slightly overrated. By which I mean that, comments that I read on the interenet about it prior to seeing it made it sound a bit better that I found it to be. It’s a very gpod movie, but I personally felt that it got a tiny bit more praise than I felt was neccesary.

Thanks for saying that I misworded what I said, you can still like the movie with thinking it’s overrated. I messed up my words!

Oh, that makes sense. I just…I didn’t think of that. I thought they meant they didn’t like it.

I’m sorry But I seriously think Transformers is overated,

Don’t be sorry, Lotsofan! I can totally see that. It was completely action based with little plot or character development.

[JJejja]

Okay. So in my opinion, TS3 IS a little bit overrated, but it’s also my favourite animated movie. Same with How to train your dragon, it is a great movie my second favourite I think. But also a bit overrated.(I believe someone already said this) Just because it’s overrated doesn’t mean it’s bad! TWILIGHT and AVATAR too is overrated. But I really liked Avatar… Unlike most of my friends. I get kinda depressed when people say mean things about movies I like. There was a time when I didn’t even want to hang around a forum just because someone kept saying that a specific movie I liked wasn’t good, it was bad" And “bla bla BLAAAH, bla… bla.”. And of course I respect everyones opinion, but you don’t have to repeat it like that, you know… I don’t like hearing you don’t like it over and over. No this isn’t directed towards anyone here.
