Finally, the movie buffs get to witness the live-action adaptation of the classic animation movie ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ . The makers shared a live-action teaser on the last day, which is nothing short of perfection.
From the teaser, it seems that the live-action version will follow the same story of the first part of the animation movie, but with more realistic and live visuals to engage mature audiences in theatres.
Following the teaser reveal, netizens are in awe at how perfect the live-action film re-imagines the original animated movie ‘How to Train Your Dragon’.
Netizens are dropping scene-by-scene comparison videos hailing the details of the live-action film.
On dropped a comment that read, “There’s no denying it. We have to admit that the CGI for Toothless and the dragons are looking pretty good.” Another commented, “I am excited for this scene in the live-action movie where they become friends.” A third commented, “They captured the realism of the dragon perfectly, but I miss his puppy dog eyes from the original.” A fourth comment read, “his looks so good. I thought they were gonna pull a Sonic.”
Keeping all these positives regarding the animation style, there are also criticisms at the necessity of spending big bucks on a scene-by-scene live-action adaptation. One Tweet read, “Why even make a live-action.” Another commented, “Why? What’s the purpose? The movie was only 15 years when it was released, and its CGI animation was flawless, and the technology is still not mature enough to be remade.” A third criticism read, “Why tho? Are the kids only watching live-action content now?”
Directed by Dean DeBlois, ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ live-action will hit the big screens on June 13, 2025 in IMAX.
