Wait what?! Yes i decided to write about other awesome film moments because there is more out there than just Pixar! :-) so my favourite non-Pixar movie is definitely HttyD.
To me this was the first time that Dreamworks catched up with Pixar in terms of story and animation. (Kung Fu Panda was close... but not quiet as awesome)
A very cool soundtrack and very cool characters did the rest. Also there are some amazing visuals like the one in the beginning when hickup walks up to his house with the blond teacher guy (sorry dont remember the name) the whole picture looks more like a painting than a scene from a movie... same for the scene in the end when stoic walks over to toothless who is lying on the ground... again... a painting not a scene from a movie... beautiful!
My first highlight, animation wise, for this film is the one that is cool for everyone... toothless... His character and also his moves specially in those sequences when the two get to know each other is just awesome... The combination of all the animals the animators have studied works so nicely together and some of the character stuff is simply hilarious.
And the scene when hickup holds up his hand and toothless puts his nose in the hand... that one is soooo beautifully subtile... no words needed...
Thats when the movie took a huge leap and didnt feel like animation anymore but like a big film.
The next thing that amazed me is Stoic. They really gave him so much depth... such a huge character... but how he holds hiccup there when he thanks toothless... thats another goosebump moment... and his character arc over the movie is definitely as big as hiccups. Maybe im so amazed by him because he reminded me of my own father. Its just so cool to feel that inside he loves his son but he is very insecure about how to deal with him because he doesnt understand why hiccup is doing all that stuff that seems unimportant or weird to him.
His beard is amazing!
And i love gerard butlers voice! :-)
Very beautiful movie!
