The cartoon is different from other movies in that it does not appear in real people. Therefore, acting skills are out of the question. For cartoons, plot and animation production are the two most important factors.
As the world's second animation production company's DreamWorks production, coupled with 3D technology, the animation production of this film is needless to say. The islands and landscapes are made broad and beautiful, and the character design is exaggerated and appropriate, which perfectly matches the character's personality. The design of the dragon is exceptional. In addition to the sometimes cute and sometimes fierce "Night Fiend" toothless boy, there is also the colorful dragon, the lazy but very funny Glenn, and the weird double-headed dragon like a snake. The blazing madman who made himself full of fire, and even the huge and terrifying boss dragon in the end, are very lifelike, and can almost be fake. The flight of Toothless Boy is even more thrilling. However, in the end, the fighting scene between the toothless boy and the boss dragon was a little messy, which was a shortcoming.
A particularly good clip of nearly 5 minutes is the performance of Hekapu using grass, light spots, scratching the dragon’s neck and other methods to train the dragon. Except for a few languages, almost all of them rely on the picture to promote the development of the plot. . Although this segment is not as good as the "four minutes" of the life trajectory of the old man in "Flying House", it is also one of the best in the field of animation, which is enough to show the director's profound skill.
In terms of plot, some aspects are even better than "Flying House and Traveling Around". The Viking pirate residence is often attacked by dragons. The two sides of human and dragon are not at the same time. Almost all of the Vikings are masters of dragon slaying. There is only one accident: the son of the pirate leader, Hekapu, is weak and he is not a dragon slaying at first sight.的料。 The material. However, he always wanted to kill a dragon to prove that he was not an alien. Finally, he caught a dragon with a weapon he made. This was the toothless boy who was considered the most powerful "Night Fiend" before. But just as he raised the sword to kill the dragon, his eyes met the sad and helpless eyes of Mouya Zai, and the compassion in his heart prevented him from killing Mouya Zai, but also cut the rope for it... That’s it, Heka Pu became interested in Toothless Boy and went to see it almost every day and brought it food. They established a strange friendship (just like the soundtrack there: forbidden friendship). Moreover, Yazi also took Hekap to the Dragon Den, and found that the dragons were forced to give all the food they looted to the boss dragon. If the food is not enough, they will be eaten by the boss dragon.
At the same time, Hekap increased his understanding of dragons during his time with him, and became a famous "Dragon Trainer", but he still couldn't bear to kill the dragon. But his dad, the pirate leader, wanted to find the lair and get rid of the dragon's troubles once and for all. So the toothless boy led the way and organized a huge fleet to conquer the dragon's lair, but he couldn't fight the boss dragon at all. It was Hekap and Toothless who came forward and defeated the boss dragon. (Don’t forget that Toothless is the "Night Stalker", the most dangerous dragon that people knew at the time. The message in "The Treasure of Slaying Dragons" is "No one has actually seen it. Don’t fight with it. It’s best to hide. Get up, don’t let it find you”) The
eye contact between Hekap and Yazi’s first encounter was also very successful. Even though he raised the knife several times, he didn’t make it in the end, as Hekap said later. Said: "I saw the same timidity and weakness from its eyes."
After all this, people and dragons understand each other and live harmoniously together.
