Ahh Dragon movie<3. I only got to see it once it came out on dvd, and kicked myself for not seeing it in the theaters. I liked the fact that it made me forget it was in 3d at all because it didn't feel like it forced it on you like other DW films coughmonstersvsalienscoughmegamindcough. But I think my absolute favorite thing about it was thinking the entire first time I watched it, "wow, Toothless reminds me of Stitch, how great.." Then the credits roll around and the FIRST credit is 'Directed and Co-written By Chris Sanders'. I died, i thought it was so awesome.
Also How To Train Your Dragon is one of the VERY few cg movies I've gotten my father to watch and actually ENJOY. And oddly, the first thing he said when he saw big-eyed Toothless is, "Hey, its Stitch!" And yes, I know this is not the Disney thread, but I think that's one of the reasons I liked this movie, because it didn't feel like many other of the DW movies ('cept maybe KungFu Panda as far as design went), but it wasn't completely gooey, it had a good balance on the humor and violence. I love Dreamworks, and Chris Sanders needs to do more for them, he would do well.
