New Dragon trailer

The second trailer for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is now online, though searching far and wide, I can’t seem to find it in HD anywhere. A good third of the new spot is dedicated to reminding you that Dreamworks has in fact made other movies you like, therefore you should also like this one. It may seem a bit desperate, but remember that Pixar also does the same thing from time to time whenever the premise of one of its new movies seems questionable.

As for the film itself? I’m willing to give it a chance as it’s outside of Dreamworks’ usual formula of “animals doing things animals wouldn’t normally do,” and the plot would seem to be pretty original (relatively speaking, as it is based off a kids’ book). Jay Baruchel’s uber-nasally voice seems to have been turned up to eleven for some reason, and it’s pretty distracting, but other than that, the film looks like it could be…fun. You never know.
