As my weekly movie review, I chose to study 'How to train your dragon' directed by Chris Sanders and Dean deblois. It was produced by dream works animation loosely based off a british novel written by an author called Cressida Cowell.
The art style for this movie is actually extremely interesting to me as its just so different, especially the concept side of the productions. As I will show an example below. The theme is strongly influenced by the celtic and nordic cultures with the style of layout, buildings, character designs and even the chosen accents.
How to train your dragon was actually nominated for academy award for the best animated feature and best original score at the 83rd academy awards. It won 10 annie awards including the best animated feature award.
Personally, I actually love this movie and I even teared up in the latest release 'how to train your dragon 2'. Its characters are flawless, the animations are flawless, the settings and moods are flawless just everything about this movie was extremely appealing to me but to be fair, its a movie where vikings fight dragon and even end up riding them. Thats just about as good as things get, right? ...
