but nope this makes much more sense and it looks hella cool
Also, I liked Nick's tattoos.
The trailer didn't seem to have Jack Frost, but instead the Sandman
turns out he's both
he's a jack of all trades you see
Jack is meant to be the main/PoV character that brings the team together from what I've read and since I can't find anything about someone voicing the Sandman and he doesn't speak a word in the trailer I think he might be mute. What with the whole sleeping thing.
Steaaaaaaam
I just looked up the books, it doesn't look like much of the series is actually published yet
Also the Man in the Moon is a figure there
It definitely seems interesting
Hah yeah for some reason I made the same connection and I've never even seen that owl movie
why isn't his skin deathly pale and his eyes hidden in shadow under a mess of black hair??
Pixar films about the wonder of childhood never interest me that much
on the other hand, can't doubt that cast and I do like attempts to use mythology and magic beliefs in a modern way
seems like this might be something Neil Gaiman or Alan Moore would write
so yeah, might check it out if it ticks those boxes
that movie was pretty dang good actually!
also this looks great and how to train your dragon was incredible
also del toro
this... isn't a Pixar film
and I can't really think of any Pixar films about the wonders of childhood?
so what the fuck are you even saying
I stayed because you weren't joking

Ah, it's dreamworks. Fair enough.
Toy Story and Monsters Inc are about taking elements of childhood and exploring them quite deeply
and the idea of being a child allows access to a state of wonder and fantasy
How to Train your Dragon was actually a dreamworks film and it also had themes about the wonder of children (in that only a child could be so trusting as to accept the idea of the Dragons as allies and friends, not enemies)
anyway, films about the wonder of childhood are not really my thing anyway, but as I said, this does long interesting in a Gaiman inspired kind of way
maybe don't say "what the fuck are you even saying"
because that's actually really fucking annoying
toy story and monsters inc. ????

That had nothing to do with Hiccup being a child or particularly trusting and everything to do with him being unusually thoughtful, observant and empathetic.
Also if you say bad stuff about pixar on these forums you are gonna have a fight on your hands.
I was not expecting anything good from How to Train your Dragon and then it was amazing!
Before that I thought dreamworks was just kind of shitty overall. But that regained my trust in them. Now I'm hoping this is going to be as good.
Also I do not think how to train your dragon had anything to do with child something whatever.

I dunno
there is often an element in stories about children being unusually thoughtful, observant and empathetic
generally it's the empathetic and thoughtful parts which are linked to the idealism of youth
but anyway, it did seem to me when I watched How To Train Your Dragon that it was certainly a story about children and their nature and the relationship they have with adults and that included elements of children being more naive and willing to trust than adults. If we consider that Hiccup was unable to kill his dragon because he had not yet seen them kill enough of his friends to destroy any empathy for them, then his youth does factor in.
Anyway, that whole area doesn't interest me much and it seems to be something that this movie will look at
but like I said, from a fantasy/fairy tale perspective it seems like it could be fun and the Voice Acting is likely to be superb so who knows. I wasn't that blown away by the trailer and I'm unlikely to go and see it in the cinema but maybe if people whose opinions I often agree with on the forums like it I will check it out.
we can drool over how pretty this movie is
together

when was the last time someone focused on the 'sand' part of sandman rather than the kind of creepy nature of his job!
he looks adorable and fun and him miming everything or communicating via sand constructs would be the best
Steaaaaaaam
But its pretty cool
