Critica del nuevo remake live-action de How To Train Your Dragon.

James Cameron-Wilson finds the live-action remake of #1 How To Train Your Dragon a disappointment, lacking much of the original's charm. He points out that the perfectly woven farce The Wedding Banquet is still around, suggesting people catch it while they can. On Netflix, he watched Straw, a state-of-the-nation melodrama from the phenomenally successful Tyler Perry. But while it has some nice moments, it's formulaic and unrealistic. He much admires the beautiful restoration of Darling, 1965's satire of Britain in the swinging 60s. Starring Dirk Bogarde and Julie Christie as a self-obsessed model, it has sparkling dialogue and won Oscars for costumes, script and for Christie. The extras are great too.

Co-executive produced, written, and directed by Dean DeBlois, How To Train Your Dragon is the fantasy adventure film that is a shot-for-shot live-action remake of the 2010 animated film of the same name – itself loosely based on the 2003 novel by Cressida Cowell. On the rugged isle of Berk, a Viking boy named Hiccup defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. However, when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader. We break down all things re-imagining the animated film into live-action, the cast, the look of the dragons, and how this version does or doesn't differ from its previous version.

#226 How To Train Your Dragon, Ballerina, Bone Tomahawk In the height of generational turmoil between humans and dragons, a boy befriends a dragon most feared and learns to find his place in the world and a different solution to war. After witnessing the death of her father, a young woman becomes an elite killer and is on the hunt for the assassins' cult responsible. A ragtag group of determined men embark on a journey to rescue kidnapped townspeople from a savage tribe of cannibals.   Recent Discoveries Ralf: Predator: Killer of Killers, Lily & Stitch (2025), Final Destination: Bloodlines Luke: The Phoenician Scheme, Lost in Starlight Oscar: Dangerous Animals, Karate Kid: Legends, The Phoenician Scheme, Predator: Killer of Killers, Knives and Skin   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:02:24 Recent Discoveries 00:40:51 How To Train Your Dragon 00:57:05 spoilers 01:13:37 From the World of John Wick: Ballerina 01:44:09 spoilers 01:59:06 Bone Tomahawk 02:34:34 EXIT

You want more live-action remakes of contemporary animated films? Well you got it! The boys are back this week to review the live-action remake of Dreamwork's high flying film How To Train Your Dragon

Send us a textFather's Day 2025 finds our podcast fathers contemplating the curious state of cinema, where animation remakes break box office records while prestige directors struggle with creative stagnation.Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme" becomes the focal point for a larger conversation about directorial signature styles calcifying into self-parody. Even devoted Anderson defenders are feeling fatigue as his meticulously composed dollhouses and deadpan performances edge closer to parody than innovation. Despite the welcome presence of Benicio Del Toro and glimpses of experimentation with violence and sports sequences, the film ultimately disappoints by prioritizing aesthetic consistency over emotional resonance.Meanwhile, "Ballerina" emerges as a surprising standout in the John Wick universe. Ana de Armas commands the screen with physical prowess and surprising comedic timing, elevating creative action sequences featuring improvised weapons from ice skate nunchucks to television remotes. The film's narrative structure might be front-loaded with unnecessary exposition, but once it finds its rhythm, it delivers the kind of inventive, visually striking action that established the franchise while carving its own identity.Family-friendly features continue their theatrical dominance, with "How To Train Your Dragon" joining "Minecraft" and "Lilo & Stitch" as box office champions. This enduring trend speaks volumes about audience priorities in an era of rising ticket prices – when families invest in theater outings, they gravitate toward reliable entertainment with broad appeal. On the horizon, Danny Boyle's "28 Years Later" promises to revitalize the rage virus saga with innovative iPhone cinematography and the return of original writer Alex Garland.Join us next week as we dive deep into Danny Boyle's filmography and explore how his latest compares to the groundbreaking original that helped redefine zombie cinema for a new generation.Support the show

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas revisit the 2010 animated hit How to Train Your Dragon, celebrating its powerful themes, stunning animation, and emotional depth. They explore what makes the original film stand out even today, how it compares to the new live-action version, and why Toothless became one of DreamWorks' most beloved characters. From world-building and sound design to the bond between Hiccup and his dragon, the duo digs into every corner of Berk and beyond. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00:00 Welcome to the show 00:00:06 Why How to Train Your Dragon still works 00:02:44 Full movie breakdown 00:05:30 World-building and dragon lore 00:08:00 Toothless' animal-like behavior and animation details 00:10:26 Relationship building through invention 00:13:38 Astrid's role and growth 00:16:05 Flying scenes and metaphor for trust 00:17:15 Disability representation and character arcs 00:19:49 Hiccup's friendships and social shift 00:21:00 Training montage and smart storytelling 00:23:03 Themes of empathy and understanding 00:26:48 John Powell's score and musical impact 00:29:03 Cast shoutout and voice acting highlights 00:31:02 Dean DeBlois directing both versions 00:34:43 Comparing to the Lilo & Stitch remake 00:36:12 Final battle and visual design 00:37:30 Emotional beats that still hit hard 00:39:12 Era of emotional storytelling in animation 00:40:00 Fun facts and trivia 00:45:13 Does it make the Top 100? 00:47:00 Next week's pick: Jaws 00:48:38 Wrap-up and call to action Key Takeaways: How to Train Your Dragon holds up through its heartfelt story and layered characters. The film uses inventive animation and sound to bring Toothless to life in a relatable, pet-like way. Hiccup's journey is about empathy, invention, and identity, making him a rare and compelling lead. The flying sequences, scored by John Powell and designed with input from Roger Deakins, are still cinematic highlights. The story's approach to disability and emotional growth gives it depth that resonates with audiences of all ages. The new live-action remake stays true to the spirit of the original thanks to director Dean DeBlois returning. Quotes:

Justin Bieber yells at the paparazzi for trying to provoke him. Kanye showed up at the Diddy trial, but they wouldn't let him in. In Box Office news, ‘How To Train Your Dragon' topped the charts this weekend. ‘Luigi The Musical' premiered in San Francisco. The biggest manhunt in Minnesota history has come to a close. A fake flight attendant was caught after taking 120 free flights. What's the punishment for something like this? Dads show their love acts of service, but don't be afraid to say “l love you” too!

It's a mixed bag of summer movies with a special guest stopping by on the latest episode of Breakfast All Day. We begin with a review of "Materialists," Celine Song's follow-up to her Oscar-nominated 2023 drama "Past Lives." Dakota Johnson plays a New York City matchmaker who must choose between Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. It's the eternal conundrum. In theaters. Then our good friend William Bibbiani drops in to help out with a review of "How to Train Your Dragon." If you've seen the beloved animated original, you've seen this live-action remake. Mason Thames, Nico Parker and Gerard Butler co-star. In theaters now. And we wrap up with a re-watch of "Rogue One," the 2016 "Star Wars" movie about the mission to steal the Death Star plans. Now that the phenomenal prequel series "Andor" has finished, we wanted to see how this film plays with fresh perspective. Have you seen "Rogue One" lately? Let us know your thoughts. No news this week, but we hope to catch up with you next Friday. Have a great weekend, and if you're going to a No Kings protest on Saturday, stay safe!

A remake of the Academy Award-nominated animated feature of the same name from 2010, the live-action remake skews so closely to the original film that we're left wondering if there's any justification for its existence beyond the studio to make money.
