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.
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!

@@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.
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.
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.
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 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
It’s so cool that Universal is helping smaller creators gain more recognition by putting their fan-made trailers out on the official RUclips Channel. Awesome
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?

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..
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
@@olive9097 nah, that would be EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE to do, since some dragons are harder to train than the others, plus the need for Dragon Trainers that are as good as Hiccup... IMAGINE THE BUDGET IF THEY CAST THE REAL RED DEATH
@@olive9097 I think studios learn from sonic nowdays and choose to stick to the source material as close as possible. realistic design is cool and could be work too but imo only IF the design is somehow globally accepted. which is harder to achieve and more risky than the latter (?) maybe we'd see the that in the character design BTS tho, I'm too curious on how it'd look.
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.
I'd love to see animated remakes of live action films. I'd love to see an animated Phantom of the opera, Les Miserables, Harry Potter, Never ending story, and an animated Lord of the rings with a bigger budget
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.
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
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😂
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 ^^
I miss my cat. He used to hear the music when I would put the movie on and come running, demand I put his costume wings on him, and curl around my neck to watch with me
@@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.
And they seem to be doing basically a shot for shot remake. I mean why not, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Too many of these movie companies try to remake it in their own way and end up ruining the live action. This seems fine
and I enjoy that to make it fit more with the live action vibes they added in all these little details, like the hints of pink around his eyes and nostrils, and the third eyelid opening too
The Toothless motions are so similar to the original that I really believe they're even utilizing the same rigging. I've had enough of live-action remakes.
I guarantee you they are not even remotely using the same model, rigging or materials. Referenced it sure, but this is 100% made for this film. Any clue how far this technology has come since the last film? This will be utilizing the lastest and most up to date 3d software has to offer. And that old rigging is rubbish. It can't handle most of what can be done now. They have done a very good job of matching the movement style. Potentially they played back the old rig and exported it to a motion capture format, then imported it to the new model and retargeteded the the key joints on the new to at least drive some base model movements.
I'm crying, How to train your Dragon is my favorite trilogy, it's my whole childhood. I'm still fan of it, hearing the music brings back so many memories
this one seems genuinely pointless as well, the trailer shows exact recreations of animated scenes… if they wanted a live action that badly it would’ve made way more sense to adapt the original books faithfully
@@koiloyloYES! 😃 The sword fights, done with everything Hiccup, the shockingly dark scenes, Camicazi, book Alvin, the dragon Furious... If the cards were played right, it would be INCREDIBLE!!
I agree that Live action remakes are getting old, however I give this one a pass because as far as I'm aware, it's the only DreamWorks film to get the live action treatment
This tho. Like not only were the animated movies really good and not in need of live action, they also just recreated the movie? Like I’m glad its not some race swapping and worse character designs, but this is too faithful to the original to the point that watching it is useless since its LITERALLY the original but real humans.
Why I don’t like about turning a classic animated movie into a live action is that it makes it so the modern kids never know the animated version, which is always the best version.

I'm just praying that it doesn't end up like ATLA or the Dragon Ball Z live action. 2 beloved series that didn't deserve those catastrophies.
Httyd remastered let's say
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..
…then don’t watch…

The actors playing Toothless and Stoick the Vast are spot on!
Well, Gerald Butler, the guy who voiced Stoick, is also playing him in the live version. So, that's pretty cool as well!

Wait it was 15 years ago original came out? Ffs now I truly feel old.
@@dungeonmaster16 it came out almost almost 14 years ago
@@dungeonmaster16 It came out 14 years ago, but by the time this remake will come out, it will have been 15 years since the original came out.
Go look at cast ...😢 not saying bad actors/ actresses I'll give them a chance but vikings were dei ... well shouldn't of be dei
as someone who grew up with these movies...why? this franchise has so much potential, it didnt need a shot-for-shot "live action" remake
@@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.
Hey Hollywood, I'd love to see some animated adaptations of live action classics. How about it?
what it must be like to be 14..
@@brightdaygaming5692 animation isn’t solely for kids lol
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.
Shoutout for Toothless!
Keeping Gerard Butler just makes me want to see a version with Jay Baruchel walking on his knees the whole time
Honestly kinda mad it's not Jay Baruchel. They should've dubbed the voice 😂
ye but they made toothless black
@@jjeteuati264No, they made Astrid Black.
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
15 whole years? I suppose I was in kindergarten when it came out.
Omg it really has been 15years 😭
glad they chose the animated style for the dragons
Actually I personally kinda wish they cast real dragons, woulda been cooler imo
@@olive9097man I agree, have you seen Dragon Pratt’s or Dragon “The Rock” Johnson’s performances? I wish they would’ve cast one of them for toothless
@@olive9097 nah, that would be EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE to do, since some dragons are harder to train than the others, plus the need for Dragon Trainers that are as good as Hiccup...
IMAGINE THE BUDGET IF THEY CAST THE REAL RED DEATH
@@olive9097 I think studios learn from sonic nowdays and choose to stick to the source material as close as possible. realistic design is cool and could be work too but imo only IF the design is somehow globally accepted. which is harder to achieve and more risky than the latter (?)
maybe we'd see the that in the character design BTS tho, I'm too curious on how it'd look.
What did u expect a man in a lizard costume 😂
These movies were my childhood- I hope it’s good! Also the dragons look awesome!!
But why do this, already animated version is masterpiece
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
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.
things like monster house for example, things that had some very good parts, but were dragged down by the rest.
You're so real for that!
@@candlestone5397 I like this idea better than the OP's.
Monster House is great from start to finish.
I'd love to see animated remakes of live action films. I'd love to see an animated Phantom of the opera, Les Miserables, Harry Potter, Never ending story, and an animated Lord of the rings with a bigger budget
Im assuming that is sattire and if so I support u, this film is 1000% going to be a clownfest....
Well, I guess once we remake all of the animated movies there won't be much else to do.
@@tanislater6845 They'd have to come up with a new idea 😱

No, wrong franchise
Does it look good, yes.
Do we need a live action version of this? No, the animated movies are perfectly fine and hold up today.
Right!?!
I'd welcome a remake of 3, just for the possible chance of bringing back Drago as the villain.
@@kamikazelemming1552Draco died tho
We was supposed to be the villain of the third movie tho but he didn't
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.
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

I worked on the original "How to Train Your Dragon" for three years. This trailer is SOOO wonderful. I cannot wait to experience this!
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.
Chris Sanders? I don’t think so.
It's not a remake. It's just a live action version of the original
It will still be a dogshit remake for the sake of money and nothing else and yet dipshits will still go watch it

Aaand why did we need this? The animated version is perfection 👌. Why do I need live action of the same exact movie??
They didn’t screw up toothless design. They just ripped him right out of the animated world and it’s perfect
And they seem to be doing basically a shot for shot remake. I mean why not, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Too many of these movie companies try to remake it in their own way and end up ruining the live action. This seems fine
@@MrE_well whats the point of new version if its just exact same thing as previous one?
and I enjoy that to make it fit more with the live action vibes they added in all these little details, like the hints of pink around his eyes and nostrils, and the third eyelid opening too
don't look at my nickname lll
@@MrE_ then why make it?
The Toothless motions are so similar to the original that I really believe they're even utilizing the same rigging. I've had enough of live-action remakes.
Nah! Jit tripppin

@@gorskix W But this one is 100k times better
I guarantee you they are not even remotely using the same model, rigging or materials. Referenced it sure, but this is 100% made for this film. Any clue how far this technology has come since the last film?
This will be utilizing the lastest and most up to date 3d software has to offer. And that old rigging is rubbish. It can't handle most of what can be done now.
They have done a very good job of matching the movement style. Potentially they played back the old rig and exported it to a motion capture format, then imported it to the new model and retargeteded the the key joints on the new to at least drive some base model movements.
The animated movies are so good already, i don’t think we need a live action for this, but here we go

In a world of unnecessary live action remakes of beloved animated properties, this somehow manages to feel especially unnecessary.
I absolutely agree, not a very good cast for hiccup either
Go back acting like a pseudointellect
Seriously, you could tell me this is a shot-for-shot remake and I would fully believe you
I agree that Live action remakes are getting old, however I give this one a pass because as far as I'm aware, it's the only DreamWorks film to get the live action treatment
This tho. Like not only were the animated movies really good and not in need of live action, they also just recreated the movie? Like I’m glad its not some race swapping and worse character designs, but this is too faithful to the original to the point that watching it is useless since its LITERALLY the original but real humans.
I like how they kept the most memorable moments almost the exact same.
I don't know how this isn't a bad thing.
yeah, that's called "exploits the nostalgia"
Is like… this movie doesnt have a reason to exist
That is what live action remakes are
The only difference is the movements are less cartoonish
I don't. It's an excuse to make money without being creative.
Why I don’t like about turning a classic animated movie into a live action is that it makes it so the modern kids never know the animated version, which is always the best version.
