A very happy December to all of you! To echo what everyone and their great-aunt says at this time of year, I can't believe we're here already! I do hope you're having a lovely start to your December! It's the last month of the year, so let's do our best to make it a good one!
Today I'm sharing two trailers. I've no idea if the actual movies will be good or not, but whoever edited and sound designed the trailers did an excellent job! And both movies seem like something I'd enjoy, especially the last one.
How To Train Your Dragon
The fact that they included that iconic shot where Hiccup holds out his hand to Toothless was just *chef's kiss*! Like, it's literally frame for frame! It looks like most of the teaser's camera angles are frame for frame from the animated version! And not just the way scenes are done, but Hiccup's clothing and the design of the arena and the design of the dragons are all direct from the older film! And a new epic version of Test Drive! We can never have too many epic versions of Test Drive! Then there's the sound design and the visuals of a Scottish-like land, it just all looks really good.
White Bird
Oh, is Dreamworks going the live-action-remake route now? Hmm, interesting. I've heard really good things about their most recent film The Wild Robot, so hopefully they'll continue their streak and this one will be really good too!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I just watched the trailer for White Bird, and it looks very good!
Personally speaking, I'm rather interested in the new Wallace and Gromit movie coming out, heh. It's hard to tell from the trailers if it will be good or not...time will tell, I suppose.
I've never heard of The Wild Robot until now! I googled it, it looks interesting!
DeleteI know, right? I'm hoping White Bird especially doesn't disappoint.
And I didn't know Wallace and Gromit were getting a new movie! Oh, LOL! I just went and watched the trailer!! That looks hilarious!!! Wallace and Gromit always crack me up! Thank you for sharing and for your comment!
(Whoops, forgot to identify myself the first time! :P)
DeleteWallace and Gromit are such fun, aren't they? I'm so glad that they kept the clay-mation in the new movie - that unique style and texture is just part of the charm!
I 100% agree! It’s the clay-mation and the facial expressions and lack of expression that it gives characters that makes it the most funny to me!
Deletethe HTTYD remake looks very promising! you can tell they paid a lot of attention to details that made the animated film so breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteI struggle to watch very sad movies like Wonder, as I am very very empathetic. (I started crying when the DVD homepage loaded. there's something wrong with me.) so, I don't know if I will venture to watch White Bird, but the story seems very moving and beautiful.
Yeah, it might actually be good, we'll have to see!
DeleteLOL. I'm the same! It's crazy because I used to never get emotional in movies when I was younger. But I as I got older, I understood, like, 'no wait, what this character is going through is /actually/ painful,' a lot more than I did in my youth, and then all of a sudden my eyes are stinging! The very first movie I can remember that had this different effect on me was when I watched The Fault in Our Stars for the first time in 2020. Despite hearing for years how bad it was, I still thought I could handle it. RIP me.
All that being said, White Bird just looks too good, so I'm going to chance it and watch it this weekend! Wish me luck!
