Only issue I have is his eyes in the first film are much smaller and they get bigger throughout the films, I interpret this as a portrayal of how tame he is. So it's kindsnweird to have the big puppy eyes when they meat when he originally had somewhat intimidating eyes - especially when he wakes up
While I do not see a point in a live action HTTYD Because the original movie is and always will be on of the best pieces of cinema to ever exist. I will award points for the casting of Hiccup and for the dragons actually looking like "real" versions of their animated counterparts. So long as the characters retain their personalities (including the dragons) I think you've got something here.
Exactly what I've been thinking. Still skeptical with the myriad of live action flops that have come out, but with the same director and toothless' parallel design, I'm hopeful!
Nope, pure garbage. Universal is doing what it always does, see's Disney doing something and copies them late, poorly, and with the wrong IP. HTTYD3 is only 5 years old, which means this is an active franchise, not like literally every live action movie Disney has made which has been of an inactive classic. Lion King, Mermaid, Cinderella, etc, all of those were classics with nothing new added in over a decade. Not to mention, it's a shot for shot remake, which means you can get the same effect by watching the original, which will always be better since they aren't limited by the real world problems live-action created.
@MoonLmao Cause the industry doesn't favor creativity, they've realized their bad new titles and bad sequels to previously good titles are all bad so they do a bad reboot of something that was succesful. It's just soulless, they do this because of executives looking at marketing numbers
@MoonLmao Well because there is nothing cool about this. It's just the disney trend of recreating already great and timeless animated movies into live action because nostalgia bait and money. The first movie was a passion project, a new story to tell in a new original world. It wasn't a successful franchise from the start because it wasn't a franchise at the time of release. This one is just telling the same story again. Not a new story, not creating anything new or even following what we knew, just the same thing but this time with real actors instead of animation, something that in my eyes is even a downgrade.
This is DreamWorks' first remake of one of their animated movies. Pretty much a test run and if it's a success, they'll probably do more. Give me Prince of Egypt and Road to El Dorado next!
@truthyahweh9877 they did it with Avatar, the Last Airbender... if this Director perfects this ... we need him to take over Live Avatar The Last Air Bender.
*The audience:* we want a new film with an original story. *Hollywood:* I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's not in the list of available options. Can I interest you in one of our more reliable choices?: a) Live action version of an animated film. b) Biopic. c) Unwanted sequel or prequel.
Even though this doesn't look terrible it's just so unnecessary. The animated movies are to this day one of my all time favourites and so far it doesn't seem like there will be added anything new with the live action version. Animation is a perfectly valid method of portraying a story and sometimes it's even way better when something is animated. (arcane for example) Httyd also falls under that category!
Artist: “I have this great pitch for a new innovative film” Investors: “Nah let’s just remake another hit and cash in on nostalgia. Being original is scary.”
I mean it's basically just upscaled animation. Don't get me wrong it's impressive but I'm kind of with you. Why? More than 80% of the movie will be CGI or in other words animation. Idk. Seems kind of money grabby.
Wooowwww! They actually managed to keep the nostalgia from the animated movie. That is so great. Can't say that I can say the same for many other life action remakes.
exactly! most live action adaptations have to base themselves on things that already exist, loosing the majority of the cartoonish flare about them in the process, but i have genuine hope for this movie, dragons aren’t real so their not bound by how the SHOULD act in the wild or whatever
I’m a bit torn on this. On the one hand, some of this is shot for shot with the original, very faithful in terms of adaptation and design. On the other hand it makes me think: what is the point of remaking this movie in live action? It’s not old or outdated. It’s an amazing film. There's no reason to do this.
Because live action films traditionally pull in bigger audiences at the box office, with some people still holding on to the concept that animated = for children,or cannot accept that HTTYD is as worthy of the big screen as, say, Narnia, LOTR, or other epic fantasy films. So yes, because money.
@@SpongeBobFanatic2K6 Speaking of, if James ever got to voice act in anything Transformers related, I believe he would’ve been great as Alpha Trion or Megatronus Prime AKA The Fallen.

Hear me out. There should only be remakes of bad movies. They feel like the only time that remaking is necessary. Not to say there haven't been a few exceptions, but the ratio speaks for itself.
They managed to do what Disney has failed to do so many times. They managed to bring an animated animal to live action without it looking creepy or emotionless.
@angelozenstudios718 bright side she is 80% white Plus, I don't think all of the actors & actresses are from Slavic or Scandinavian descent. Meaning none of them are ethnically accurate. If we just put a blonde wig on the actress playing Astrid she is basically white.
If she can capture the essence of that character and bring something new to the role what does it matter what her racial make up is? I'm not buying movie tickets based on what level of white/black we are seeing. It's a movie about fantasy dragons.
@@Kreenceconsidering Astrid is about as real as dragons, I really don’t see why the skin color matters. Especially considering how different the animated trilogy is from the books. (The OG source material).
@@jonathanking9954 by that logic, you wouldn't mind if the humans had three ears. Like come on dude, these people literally call themselves Vikings. You need to stick to SOME fundamental real world details.
Whats even the point of this? Why not just make a continuation with a new branching set of characters or something? Why is modern movie making so stunted they think making it live action is great? Its so silly. Or better yet just take the time to ya know make another actually worthwhile animated story and concept?
@@bearminthosit's way to soon and completely pointless just a clear cash grab recreating the original in live action for no reason I'm tired of people thinking live-action is the ultimate form for a movie to take making something live action is not an improvement in most cases
I'm so nervous about this. The live action scene where Hiccup turns his head to touch Toothless is off. The actor turned his head in a way that looked like he knew that's what he should do, instead of the original Hiccup who's unsure and insecure and hoped maybe it would work. I know it's a small thing but it's the subtle character nuances and voice actor inflections that are what make a character special. Just not sure the live actors can compare to originals.
Unfortunately, money talks. Despite how many of us don't care about live action remakes, they make a lot of money somehow. Plus, original films have been performing poorly.
that's practically shot-for-shot taken from the animated movie! only Hiccup seems a bit older here than he was in the first animated movie, but about the right age for the second movie.
they found an actor that was exactly the same age as hiccup when he was casted and only a year older when filming hiccup is 15 in the first movie the actor is 16 on film since it was shot at the beginning of the year, hiccup is 20 in the second film and has visible facial hair
@@The_MEMEphis then Hiccup simply looked younger in the animated version, as I've thought he was 13-14 years old. and I also wouldn't scorn them for picking an older actor for this role, as it's probably a lot easier to work with a teenager/young adult instead of a child actor and you have to take into consideration their age for the second and third movies as well (should they be made).

@@marleyeversley19 It's the start of the first movie. Don't remember if that's how any of the three shows start, but if it is, it's originally from the first movie
@@Orion_44 I distinctly remember the first two movies had a monologue intro, but the 2nd one was like an evolution of the first one. I don't recall the 3rd movie having it or it just wasn't as memorable.
Some stories are best left animated. To be honest, you're just rewatching the same exact story you have already seen but with new flashy colors. It's a remake that was never needed nor wanted. Edit: for those saying "then don't watch it" or something similar, do comprehend I never had any plans to do so. Why else would I make this comment? Remakes ruin the magic of animated stories.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT THEY KEPT THE DESIGN THE EXACT SAME AND KEPT HIM CARTOONY INSTEAD OF MAKING HIM OVERLY REALISTIC LIKE WHAT THEY DID IN THE LION KING REMAKE
Agree. People are complaining it’s the same as original but that’s what I want. The original is perfect and if they make a live action it better be this perfect
@@StarngestBee30boohoo they took casted a Black woman for a fictional character. Astrid wasn’t even in the original books and so what if her character was altered for a live action. Big deal. Grow up.
@@RUclipsBlobMcFishwhat’s there to kid about? It would be really nice if there was an animated version of this made by dreamworks starring Jay Burrachel
It’s looking like they did this one for one with the animated version. Even hiccup’s individual fingers are in the same locations when he pets toothless for the first time.
I feel like they're trying desperately to not mess up like Disney did with their live action stuff. I hope they don't overcorrect too much by making it too similar to the animated version. There is definitely a fine balance where it needs to be similar to recapture the magic of the original while being different enough to justify its own existence
I'm truly convinced they're even using the same rigging of the original film because Toothless animations are the exact same. I'm so exhausted of these live action remakes.
Why? They don't affect the originals whatsoever. Actually technically it's been proven that remakes bring more attention to the originals so I don't see how this could be anything other than positive Even if you don't like it..
They never do it for a simple reason - adaptations are always made to sell a story to the wider audience, and live action films have a much larger audience than other media like books, comics or animated films. So it makes sense to make a live action adaptation of animated movie. But the opposite never happens.
I have only one question: WHY?! there already exists an original perfect animated movie! why every time they decide to make a live action movie of already existing masterpieces?! have you run out of imagination?! For example there are thousands of cool bestselling books in the genres of fantasy and sci-fi, why not try to screen something new! No, remakes will be made, all for the money. I love the original animated movies, this creation is an absolute secondary thing
@@evandugas7888 It does look nice, but it is the same thing with actors. I mean if anything thats boring. I know the story, I know scenes, I know characters... Its like updated textures to the game you already played.
Hey Universal, thank you for surprising me with the quality of this trailer. This proves to me you kinda understand what we as fans are expecting. Please continue to respect this beloved series Edit: Hi! I fully expected this to get lost in the comments and not get noticed. I'm not a bot just someone who loves HTTYD. Someone's beloved comment made me giggle, I can't explain why I used it, just because it is a beloved series. I am in no way saying this trailer is something amazing or that this movie was needed at all! I am just having a positive outlook because if this film is going to made (which it has been) I want to keep an open mind until I have seen the full film.
lol if Star Wars has taught me anything it’s not to trust any studio to recapture what made a series great. Rather avoid every spoiler you can watch it with an open mind and then weep for joy or sob with sadness😂
It's always money, primarily. Playing it safe with remakes and reboots, plus a touch of creative bankruptcy whereby nobody has any worthwhile new ideas, or nobody is willing to back a new IP.
To be fair it doesn’t look to bad granted Disney made the whole idea of live action, remake stinky, but this is DreamWorks were talking about they can cook when they are able too
Nah, instead they should focus on remaking Bad or mediocre Films, giving them a second chance at being great. things like monster house for example, things that had some very good parts, but were dragged down by the rest.
The moment I heard the director of the original trilogy was involved, that gave me hope. Seeing this teaser for the remake turned my hope into anticipation.
@@Jonathanest90s Chris was only the director of the original movie. Dean DeBlois was the co-director AND full director of both sequels... and of this live film adaptation ^^
My thoughts prior to this trailer: _-"This is going to suck."_ _-"I don't understand why we need this."_ My thoughts after this trailer: _-"I don't understand why we need this."_
Seeing the original in 3D with my five year old daughter was one of the greatest moviegoing experiences of my life. I still tear up when I hear the soundtrack. She's almost twenty now, and perhaps not surprisingly, studying to be an animator. We'll be there opening night together again.
@@davidpalmer3407 I mean, AI can't make actual physical art nor can it animate a coherent movie... so I would say that digital still-picture artists are the only ones at risk here
I wish they didn’t take out the little, hesitant motion Toothless did first, before the nose pat. It was small, but it said a lot about his thought process.
Fun fact- That hesitation was actually an error one of the animators did, when they reviewed it they keep it in for the reason you stated, it added emotion to the scene
Agreed. It’s a shame that they are following Disney’s example of remaking older movies instead of coming up with new material.🤦♀️ Was REALLY hoping they wouldn’t go that route!😞
@@kamikazelemming1552 Same. Don’t touch 1 and 2, but 3 could use some improvement. Like give Hiccup some masculinity. I get he was a wimp (and yet strong where it counted) in the first two, but now he’s chief and needs to man up, take a stand, and fight. He’s Stoic’s son after all.
While I don't have much of an issue with this version, this just made me realize how incredible the animation was 15 years ago. So many shots in the animation seem to have just as much detail and look just as good as live action
@@william3100 It's a trailer and a lot of the time they'll polish up performances in scenes that were in the trailer to make them better. Or at least that should be the goal.

Whats even the point of this? Why not just make a continuation with a new branching set of characters or something? Why is modern movie making so stunted they think making it live action is great?

@@manuelorozco7760 and why is that?
@@bearminthosit's way to soon and completely pointless just a clear cash grab recreating the original in live action for no reason I'm tired of people thinking live-action is the ultimate form for a movie to take making something live action is not an improvement in most cases
Which was the same age Hiccup was when he met Toothless
I'm so nervous about this. The live action scene where Hiccup turns his head to touch Toothless is off. The actor turned his head in a way that looked like he knew that's what he should do, instead of the original Hiccup who's unsure and insecure and hoped maybe it would work. I know it's a small thing but it's the subtle character nuances and voice actor inflections that are what make a character special. Just not sure the live actors can compare to originals.
I knew that something felt off about that scene but I couldn't describe and you explained perfectly, thank you
Yeah I don’t know why they needed to do this
Fun fact: that slight hesitation from toothless was an animation render mistake. But they kept it anyway because it looked authentic.
true
I haven't seen the animated version. So this one seemed perfect to me considering how you described it was in the animated version.
I like how they used real dragons unlike the 2010 GCI film.
Yeah real dragons work better I wonder how much money toothless took to cast him
@@CakeNinja-7 Might have bribed him with fish

I actually was dreading this day to be honest.
The day Dreamworks decided to stoop down to Disney’s level of “Know what this animated classic needs? A soulless live action remake! MONEEEEYYYY!!!”
Unfortunately, money talks. Despite how many of us don't care about live action remakes, they make a lot of money somehow. Plus, original films have been performing poorly.
so um are you joking, cuz like I've thought of this constantly
I’m happy toothless stayed mostly the same I might watch this now :)
that's practically shot-for-shot taken from the animated movie! only Hiccup seems a bit older here than he was in the first animated movie, but about the right age for the second movie.
It's the same!?!?! yeah idk what I think about that. seems lazy honestly but if it were any different I'd probably be mad too.
Hiccup’s actor is 17, possibly 16 when filming this. That’s young enough.
they found an actor that was exactly the same age as hiccup when he was casted and only a year older when filming hiccup is 15 in the first movie the actor is 16 on film since it was shot at the beginning of the year, hiccup is 20 in the second film and has visible facial hair
@@technocorpus1 better be a perfect replica than a scuffed adaptation
@@The_MEMEphis then Hiccup simply looked younger in the animated version, as I've thought he was 13-14 years old. and I also wouldn't scorn them for picking an older actor for this role, as it's probably a lot easier to work with a teenager/young adult instead of a child actor and you have to take into consideration their age for the second and third movies as well (should they be made).
“This, is Berk. It’s twelve days north of Hopeless, and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It’s located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word, sturdy.

You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have… dragons.”

Some stories are best left animated. To be honest, you're just rewatching the same exact story you have already seen but with new flashy colors. It's a remake that was never needed nor wanted.
Edit: for those saying "then don't watch it" or something similar, do comprehend I never had any plans to do so. Why else would I make this comment? Remakes ruin the magic of animated stories.

@@beithrr the shot-for-shot situation is probably one of the biggest backlash for this film.
I saw this in theaters when I was 8. I think a 90-95 percent shot for shot remake is the sweet spot
I take the live action rather than the sequel. Dragons: Nine realms is terrible
well there is no way they should make a 4th
Finally! Someone who shares my opinion.
It’s looking like they did this one for one with the animated version. Even hiccup’s individual fingers are in the same locations when he pets toothless for the first time.
If it ain't broke...
That’s INSANE!!!!
I feel like they're trying desperately to not mess up like Disney did with their live action stuff. I hope they don't overcorrect too much by making it too similar to the animated version. There is definitely a fine balance where it needs to be similar to recapture the magic of the original while being different enough to justify its own existence
I mean honestly I'm happy that they at least seem to be respecting the orriginal unlike some other companies...@bighillraft

Sadly, the words " Animation " and " Cartoons " will still and forever been ostracized by general audiences if such a thing were to happen.
No silly! Animation is for babies.
They never do it for a simple reason - adaptations are always made to sell a story to the wider audience, and live action films have a much larger audience than other media like books, comics or animated films.
So it makes sense to make a live action adaptation of animated movie. But the opposite never happens.
Wow, how beautiful. It seems to be identical to the cartoon
I have only one question: WHY?! there already exists an original perfect animated movie! why every time they decide to make a live action movie of already existing masterpieces?! have you run out of imagination?! For example there are thousands of cool bestselling books in the genres of fantasy and sci-fi, why not try to screen something new! No, remakes will be made, all for the money.

It's always money, primarily. Playing it safe with remakes and reboots, plus a touch of creative bankruptcy whereby nobody has any worthwhile new ideas, or nobody is willing to back a new IP.
To be fair it doesn’t look to bad granted Disney made the whole idea of live action, remake stinky, but this is DreamWorks were talking about they can cook when they are able too
They are adding scenes from the books that were not in the original film which is nice
Because people keep watching them for some reason
No John Krasinski as adult Hiccup = not watching
That's your only concern? How about Astrid being black? It's 2024 almost 2025 buddy we're in a world full of w0keness in all media
They should honestly consider making HD animated remakes rather than live action. I would love to see the original with a little more polish.
VERY MUCH AGREED.
Nah, instead they should focus on remaking Bad or mediocre Films, giving them a second chance at being great.

A good story can be told one more time.
I wish they didn’t take out the little, hesitant motion Toothless did first, before the nose pat. It was small, but it said a lot about his thought process.
To be fair, the scene is edited short just before that moment. It may still be there, and left out of the trailer deliberately.
im glad im not the only one who noticed that, I hope @fukurouyoru5929 is right
Fun fact- That hesitation was actually an error one of the animators did, when they reviewed it they keep it in for the reason you stated, it added emotion to the scene

@@kamikazelemming1552 Same. Don’t touch 1 and 2, but 3 could use some improvement. Like give Hiccup some masculinity. I get he was a wimp (and yet strong where it counted) in the first two, but now he’s chief and needs to man up, take a stand, and fight. He’s Stoic’s son after all.
While I don't have much of an issue with this version, this just made me realize how incredible the animation was 15 years ago.
So many shots in the animation seem to have just as much detail and look just as good as live action
