I think the reason people are using dreamworks to hate on Disney is because Dreamworks relies on more of a fantasy element where there's magic and fairies and it's all set in the past or in a magic land where everything's interesting whereas Disney relies on pixar and Marvel to make shitty movies that all have the same character tropes and the same morals that are all set in the modern world or the future

Dreamworks can acknowledge that people don't really like the present because of the whole screen addiction thing so they stick to a timeline and a theme where screens are rarely and sometimes never necessary while Disney likes to focus on being inclusive so they modernise all their stories.

Also Dreamworks is more open to experimental work and the animators have more creative freedom to draw things in different styles or give the characters different features and personalities and details and little mannerisms and habits (Take Hiccup for example: handicapped, left handed, talks with his hands alot, adventurous, smart but stupid about it, very peaceful) while all Disney's characters are hollow and a sort if copy and paste theme.

Dreamworks takes more risks to put out movies with plots and characters that no ones ever seen before while Disney just takes stories they've already done, changes up the characters a little bit and them adds a message about generational trauma.

This leads to my rant about how much I hate httyd 3.

The soundtrack was too melodramatic. And the visuals were all bright and colourful to get the attention of 2 year olds. The light fury design was pathetic. The only reason the light fury exists is to be Toothless's girlfriend. Then they went against everything they'd worked for within the first 2 movies. In the first 2 it was all about how Hiccup and Toothless are bestfriends and stick together no matter what. That was even the moral in the 2 shows, first Christmas special and one of the short spin off films. But the third movie went against all of that and made them separate. It ruined the trilogy! The second movie however. The soundtrack fit perfectly for each scene and the colour scheme was perfect. In the scenes where Hiccup discovered his mother and the bewilderbeast nest the colours are appropriate and bright while not bombarding the screen with flashing lights and colours while the scenes featuring Drago had a more dark and sinister colour scheme, as well as the music becoming more heavy and ominous. Where as in the hidden world the colour scheme always had bright colours which made it feel less dark and scary. They modernised the Viking age so that it would be more appealing to younger generations. But the thing about the how to train your dragon fan base is that it mostly consists of people aged 12-27.

ONLY ONE WILL FALL

Quick requested thing for @mrbeastie87

It’s been a while since I drew these 2 but it is what it is

Toothless Window Cling

Hiii! So, I did a little art project the other day! so, I made a window/mirror cling of toothless from How to Train Your Dragon! It took two hours but it was totally worth it! Instructions are underneath the picture!

Supplies you need: 1. Contact paper, 2. Black construction paper, 3. Two or more hours, 4. Duct tape, 5. Scissors (optional: tissue paper- to add color and a printout of what you want to draw).

How to make: Take your contact paper and lay it down on a flat surface, sticky side up. Under the contact paper, put down the printout if you have one, design side up. Tape down the top and bottom. if there is a piece of paper on top of it, put the tape under it. take off the piece of paper if needed (don't throw it away in case you don't want to attach it to a window or mirror). now, you have the contact paper, sticky side up, tapped down to the flat surface and the printout underneath if you have one. cut your black construction paper into strips and keep your scissors handy! you can cut the strips as you wish and just stick them onto the contact paper in whatever design you want. if you have a printout, you can put the black strips of paper on the outlines. if you choose to use tissue paper, you can put that on after the outline is done.

Tips and tricks:

When you pick out a printout, make sure it isn't too complicated or you will get frustrated easily!

When you are putting the construction paper down, make sure to note that it may be hard to peel off after you put it down

Tissue paper will not come off easily. use with caution.

You can replace tissue paper with something else if you want :D

Have fun with it!

I would rather choose To love and lose - Than to never have loved you.

I wrote this a long time ago, but I went to see How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World today, and this suddenly seemed very appropriate.

Love - real love, the kind that lights your chest up and rushes in your throat and is selfless - is always worth it. We lose everything in the end. Some things we lose sooner than others, and some losses are more painful than others. But the choice to love is always worth it, even when it hurts.
