Starting point is 00:01:17 Let's go, Chris Sanders and Dean de Bois. Oh, my gosh. And I believe this is a book, so these must be the illustrations. Yeah, I think so. Oh, wow. Based on the book by Christina Cowell and John Powell on the music, certainly a lot of credits under his belt, but not who I was expecting to see on this. Jay Berershow and Jerry B. Craig Ferguson. Nice call, yeah. America Ferreira. All right, let's go. Let's go. Jonah Hill. You knew his voice.

Starting point is 00:01:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chris Min's Plois, of course. Actually. McLevin himself. T.J. Miller and Chris. This was that era where, like, T.J. Miller was in everything before we pulled him from the rotation. Before that got out of hand, then we pulled him from rotation. Oh, man. Wow, guys.

Starting point is 00:02:13 You know if there's a post-credit scene of this? I have no idea. I guess we can just start chatting or actually I can start pulling up some cues that we have from our lovely patrons to start us off. if you haven't seen any of the recent videos. This is a kind of new thing we're trying out. Heck yeah. Chitty chatting with the patrons, getting some Q&A out of the way first and foremost,

Starting point is 00:02:39 and then jumping into the review. That's right. Some chitty chat. Chitty, shitty, bang, bang. All righty. Game night. J-14. All right.

Starting point is 00:02:49 Get this. This movie is an adaptation of the book, but changes so much of the story that really only one of the characters' names stay the same. Oh, wow. As well as the concept of Vikings and Dragons. What do you guys think of this kind of adaptation, one that changes so much, but is still beloved by fans? That's a great question.

Starting point is 00:03:08 That is a really good question. I think as long as it's coming from a genuine, authentic place, if you use the source material as a form of inspiration, but you still want to tell an authentic story with whatever that foundation building blocks are, I think by all means go for it. I think there's a lot of really great ground to... Dude, Robin Atkin down... To uncover. And David Tennant was in here too. No freaking way. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:03:34 What you look at that? Yeah. But yeah, to answer your question, I feel like there's a lot of really great ground to uncover. If you're coming at it from an inspired, genuine place when you have something to say with your story, I'm all for changing adaptations. Because in my mind, I'm thinking, well, you know,

Starting point is 00:03:52 in the day and age we live in, the multiverses, a thing so you know we can have the book version but if the movie version does something that is just as interesting or heartfelt or you know expands upon a mythology in the way that maybe the original source material didn't in a way that makes sense that's additive to the story or enriches the world i think that's great i love that what do you think i'd be curious to to see the book basically but generally speaking yeah i mean as long as you're in the spirit of the piece and you're honoring whatever is at the core

Starting point is 00:04:27 of whatever your source material is I have to imagine that you know I think that's what people respond to when an adaptation is particularly unfaithful or whatever is some sort of betrayal of the major themes or the aura the quality that the piece has

Starting point is 00:04:43 so yeah it's like as long as you're in line with that stuff you know I'm of the mind that every adaptation especially an adaptation from one medium to a whole other medium you know, is going to be subject to the perspective of the person, the people adapting it. So, yeah, it's like, I'm happy to hear that if this is very different from the book, people love it.

Starting point is 00:05:05 And clearly, this has been a hugely successful franchise. And it makes me wonder what the live action movie is going to do. And part of me expects the live action movie to pretty much one-to-one translate this. And I, in this moment, again, being kind of confronted with this question, I'm sort of curious to see a version of reality where they kind of mix the two or bring some stuff out of the book that's maybe a little different from this animated movie experience to give the live action movie just an additional dimension of flavor or something like that. Not that I would be mad at a one-to-one adaptation, obviously. This is great. Yeah, I know that at least one or two people who have seen the original version, which granted, I've.

Starting point is 00:05:52 I really didn't know anything about this one. But I've heard that the new version, the live action one, does things to justify its own existence. It's not an exact carbon copy of this one. So I'm excited to find that out, you know, if you guys want us to watch that one. Yeah, I feel like that's impressive to me to know that, again, if this changes so much of the book story and people still love it,

Starting point is 00:06:18 like, I feel like that's a much more rare occurrence. Definitely. Unless your story, unless it's like a Forrest Gump situation where a lot of people would kind of agree. The book is way different. There's a book. There's a book. What? And it's a way different experience from the movie.

Starting point is 00:06:34 I didn't even know there was a Forrest Gump book. That's crazy. Yeah. That's one of the rare occasions where most people, yeah, look at the movie as like the definitive Forrest Gump when actually, yeah, it's adapted heavily from source material. Have you read the book? We read, yeah, in high school English. we did a project basically where we read the book and watched the movie and did a comparison

Starting point is 00:06:55 because again, yeah, the book does a lot of the same kind of travel logging of that era of history, but oh, the attitude and the vibes and the things that happen. Like, he goes to space at one point. They crash land on an island

Starting point is 00:07:12 with pygmies and stuff. Like, it's a bonkers book. It sounds more like Walter Middie. A little bit. It's madcap, as I remember it. And it's certainly more overt in its, like, political perspective. Is it worth a modern miniseries remake? Only as, like, a geek show, I get.

Starting point is 00:07:37 I don't know. I mean, again, I don't feel like folks who have read the book, who I have spoken to have been overly, like, positive about it in the way we're, like, it's like the shining, like Stephen King, like, oh, the movie's super different from the book and a lot of people also love the book and sort of recognize like, yeah, this movie's great, but you could do a more faithful adaptation

Starting point is 00:07:57 and justify that. I don't know if anybody is calling for that from Forest Cup. Wow. But yeah, generally, yeah, from just to wrap up your question, Game Night. Yeah, I mean, I love that collaborative process.

Starting point is 00:08:11 Like, I appreciate a faithful adaptation, but I do love when an adaptation is very collaborative and, you know, adapts heavily sometimes, what it's bringing just because you're adding more, hopefully more creativity and more flavors to it. So yeah, as long as you're not betraying the spirit, the core of what the thing is, make it your own

Starting point is 00:08:29 because the original thing will always exist or, you know, such that it is on our timeline, you know. Cody Enos, thanks for chiming in as well. Thank you, Cody. And you've been on a few of these now. So, and so you, so few game night. You guys have been really stoking the fires of conversation.

Starting point is 00:08:47 Okay, game night. We see you a little love you, I appreciate you. Yeah, Cody Inos, Toothless is adorable. Who are your favorite cinematic dragons? There's so many. That's a good one, man. That's a great question. I don't know if this is my favorite.

Starting point is 00:09:06 My mind went to Donkey's wife in Trek, another DreamWorks dragon. Yeah, yeah. There's so many good dragons, though. I mean, Smog is, was cool, Ben of the Comberbatch, but I don't know if that's my favorite. Um, I mean, you have a favorite? I'm trying to think, doesn't, doesn't Hagrid, like, hatch a little one or something in Harry Potter? I've seen them. I was going to say, Dragon Heart I was really into as a kid, with Sean Connery as the voice of the dragon.

Starting point is 00:09:35 I've never seen that. Oh, yeah. Dragon Heart, I really liked when I was growing up. I haven't seen it since then, though. He said only cinematic dragons, right? Yeah. I was like Dragon Tales that show on PBS. Okay. That was fun growing up. yeah i mean dragon heart would probably be the first one that comes to mine dragon bozzy anyway dragon ballsy sure why not uh mooshu mulon oh musho's a great cinematic pretty pretty good cinematic dragon do got some love for musho i would love to watch uh uh rain of fire on this channel i feel like rain of fire has come back in terms of its cultural

Starting point is 00:10:09 assessment and people are like rediscovering it as like a fun what is that late 90s early 2000s gem and then of course you know like does king giedra count you know it's like kind of a dragon from three headed from Godzilla oh sure yeah it's kind of a dragon it's a dragon yeah why not it's in the family yeah those are those are

Starting point is 00:10:28 those are the first ones that sort of pop into my mind this is another one of those questions where I'm like I'm sure there are like a thousand movie dragons to choose from but but yeah yeah but yeah that's essentially our answers the dragon tattoo the dragon tattoo I've never seen

Starting point is 00:10:45 those movies either version nor have i we got one more question one more question and uh then we can just you know unpack our review here but uh let me thinking about cinematic dragons so if another one pops up check back later in the review and i'll shout it out but anyway letrees mcclary cool name thank you for chiming in as well how to train your dragon always you can't wait for the live action i've watched terran andrew's reaction on the trilogy many times i'd love to view someone else's reaction. Well, you are in luck. You're stuck with us now. That's right. It's Jaron's turn, baby. Jaron. How to train your Jaron. That's right. You can't tame us. We're untameable. Yeah, man. We're unstoppable. Unclockable. Rock topable. Kim Possible. Hey.

Starting point is 00:11:33 What'd you think of the movie? How are you feeling? I'm feeling good, man. I really enjoyed it. It definitely lived up to the hype. And the fandom and the love. love and i understand it i want a train a dragon i want a dragon toothless is adorable hiccup is so endearing and so smart he is a true underdog that nobody believed in and it's not about you know how well you fight the dragons i will you kill the dragons but how well you understand the dragons i really like that this movie was a commentary on non-traditionalism and breaking the norms breaking societal norms, but also breaking the norms of this world's perception of what it means to be a man, what it means to participate in this society's version of masculinity.

Starting point is 00:12:26 And like that challenging that status quo and being able to find your own path and then being that descending voice to inspire change within your community is something I really resonated with. And I really like that this movie is foundationally about that, foundationally about a boy and a dragon finding companionship and developing that companionship in a way where it made them dependent upon each other to operate in harmony. And that only became even more true by the end when Hickup lost his leg,

Starting point is 00:13:04 which is something I'm surprised the movie did Because that's super bold for, you know, an animated movie, especially one that came out in 2010 to have a paraplegic character as our star and our lead. And he's going to, obviously, I imagine not going to grow a leg in the next two movies. It's that universe. He's part chameleon. He's part chameleon. He can grow back. Yeah, he's bonded to the dragon so much.

Starting point is 00:13:27 He's able to regrow limbs. But the game will be that he'll keep losing more limbs as the series goes on until the last one. He is just like a torso with like half a grownback leg and then a bunch of stump appendages. I hope that's in the sequel because I don't know if I need that in my life, but I'm not mad if it happens. But anyway, those are my my quick thoughts. John, how did you feel? What you think? This is super lovely.

Starting point is 00:13:52 And yeah, like I remember when this came out and certainly it's gained this, you know, status as being one of the better regarded, you know, animated series, analogies especially and I thought this really held up both in terms of how great the animation looks as well as just yeah the grace of the story and going off of those early patreon questions like it does make me I can imagine this being a book that would be like a lot more slight than the you know I imagine you would have to do a lot of expansion or at least I don't know I guess that's the word for it to I don't know I don't know if this is like a full on like oh it's 150 pages or if it's a 50 pages or if it's a fit I don't know I don't know if it's a full on like oh it's 150 pages or if it's It's, you know, like a, you know, kids picture book or anything like that. But, yeah, I thought this really gracefully told its story. It nicely jumps you into the world of Burke. And, yeah, this well-worn kind of motif that, yeah, the Vikings, you know, and these mythic beasts are at war with each other. And, you know, that's how it's been for ages and ages.

Starting point is 00:14:55 And then, yeah, it takes just somebody to come along who sees things a little differently to realize what might be missing or what, you know, greater systems might be a play to create or play into this conflict and, you know, then just using the conscience as the guide toward, you know, proactive change. It's weird. It's like, yeah, on the one hand, you can look at it and just see the fanciful, you know, dragon-based story that it is, this fanciful, mythical tale. But at the same time, yeah, like, it is very gracefully about some stuff in a way that's, yeah, like not overbearing, it's not preachy, but it is sort of like, yeah, you know, consider who you're at conflict with and maybe why that's happening or if they might be afraid rather than just aggressive and you know what on both sides is happening to feed this and i liked yeah that you got this reveal that like oh there's this like big bad nasty and we don't even know if it's a big bad but just you know there's this huge formidable dragon that does really seem like it can wipe out you know whole cities in one fell swoop and you know we got all kind of unite against this common threat

Starting point is 00:16:04 And by the end, you know, we're all sort of integrated. It's like a version of this could exist that would be a lot more rote and a lot more, you know, um, slight. But I thought, yeah, this really like nicely unfolded. We got a lot of nice time for hiccup to, you know, assess the situation. It's like he shoots down toothless. And then there's a lot of like back and forth of like, he's going back and forth from town to the woods. And at first, you know, there's like no contact at all.

Starting point is 00:16:31 And then slowly it's like, okay, well, I got to bring you some food or whatever. really believed the step-by-step way in which they were sort of opening up to and warming up to each other. And that tension and release makes for some really rousing cinema, because once you get to the point where, you know, toothless trusts hiccup enough to let him on his back and they go flying or they attempt to fly. And then you get this other additional motif of, you know, the missing wing flap, this missing fin that, you know, creates an inroad for toothless not only, or for Hickup not only to bond with this character of Toothless, but to also, you know, bond in a more, in a deeper sense, you know, it's like you're actually helping this creature to fly,

Starting point is 00:17:15 you know, or to walk in a proverbial sense and you're, you know, repairing things that are missing from one another with your uniqueness. And the fact, too, it's a nice mirror. It's like this Night Fury is one of the most rare. nobody knows anything about it it seems like the most different it's it's one of a kind amidst at least the dragons that we see here and that is a nice mirror to hiccup whose dad is this giant hulking viking man you know and it's just yeah there are a lot of nice little mirrors and and things that are tied around the supporting cast is you know comprised of comedians and is certainly there largely for comic relief especially among his peers but even they were the right amount of fun and flavor for me nothing no but he was too obnoxious, even if I wasn't always laughing at every recurring joke thread. I thought the voice performances were charismatic. I really love Gerard Butler in this role. I love Craig Ferguson in his role. And the relationship between Hickup and Stoic, I thought was really nicely handled.

Starting point is 00:18:18 Because, again, that could be a lot more rote than it appears. You know, the sort of son's not living up to the ideal that the father has set. But like the, when he comes in and he thinks that he is. excelling at becoming a dragon killer and he's like so excited and he's like sitting down he's like can't wait to talk to you uh like there's little flourishes like that that hint at the humanity beneath the fun and the games and the whimsy and the imagination um yeah and i yeah it's it's funny because that scene is you know i'm sure a common experience for a lot of people um outside of the context of dragons of course you know like myself you know i was somebody who you know i'm a very

Starting point is 00:19:00 big and tall person so i was expected to be a football player expected to kill those dragons i was supposed to kill those dragons you know and when i when i personally made on the football team in ninth grade my dad was so excited and so happy that i was able to you know be a part of that world but the truth is i was just a thespian i was i was an artist and i didn't want to play football i wanted to create art and be silly and you know eventually you know you come to form your own identity within the context of how you perceive yourself within the world that you kind of inhabit and you know you learn to accept yourself through that world but also the world kind of mold to see oh this is where your skills are and then because you are the the stepping stool for that the world

Starting point is 00:19:47 can change around you but it makes sense that his dad would want that because not only a form of connection between the father and the son but also it's it stems from fear it seems from a fear of one him being defenseless or him not being able to take care of himself

Starting point is 00:20:09 which I imagine is like the the larger thing because I'm like okay if my son can't take care of himself and I failed as a father and then we all as a society

Starting point is 00:20:19 try to take down these dragons because if we don't then they're going to take us out first and really that was never the situation it was going to destroy our way of life Yeah. And, you know, they go through this cycle of violence, both from the dragon side and the human side, because they're both in fear. The dragons are in fear of losing their lives. So this big dragon, and they're, the humans are in fear of losing their lives from all the other dragons. But really, they're all just trying to survive and do what they think is necessary for, you know, endurance of their species. Everybody feels backed into a corner. Exactly. Which, which I appreciate. And I feel like it did it in a way. way that felt organic like i i felt like a lot of stuff with the fear was was

Starting point is 00:21:05 maybe someone was text but like the level of it and like that foundational thing within humans was subtextual which i i really appreciated and i enjoyed the journey and the revelation and the way that things were able to change over time with seeing that oh this is another way and oh isn't riding dragon so much cooler than slaying them yeah yeah like We can work in peace with one another. Yeah. And I'm excited to see how that sort of changes or evolves over time as the, you know, the next two movies sort of unfold before us. There's going to be a major fish shortage.

Starting point is 00:21:44 Yes, for damn sure. Near the island between humans eating the fish and the dragons, you know, the dang fish. That whole ecosystem is about to change. Oh, really about to change. The hierarchy and power in the ocean surrounding Burke is about to change. Oh, yeah. I don't know what they're going to do about their sheep or they're going to maybe form an agreement with the dragons

Starting point is 00:22:02 to not eat their sheep anymore because they're feeding them all this dang fish. They're going to have to genetically modify the sheep to be like giant. Giant super sheep to keep up with the dragon demand. GMO sheep. I want to see it in the sequel. Let's go sheep M.O. Let's go sheep M.O. I also really dug the relationship between Hickup and Astrid.

Starting point is 00:22:23 I thought that the development of them becoming this thing of her disrespecting him to then her being jealous of him because like what the hell? Why is he getting all the glory and just for her to be enlightened and shown the world and the alternative way of

Starting point is 00:22:40 being a dragon rider which is very beautiful. The whole sequence, all the flying sequences were gorgeous in this movie. It really was super visual and captivating in the way that they were able to put you in hiccough's perspective

Starting point is 00:22:55 in the way that he was toothless was able to soar through the skies the way the music was accompanying the visuals and the clouds and how yeah extremely sweeping I was blown away I would love to watch this movie in 40X that they would do like a 40X free release of this that would be amazing

Starting point is 00:23:15 all right Reject Nation summers here in between workouts filming traveling stain hydrated has never felt more important I actually get really excited to talk about these guys because I use them every single day. Yes, I've mentioned it in several videos. At the start of this year, I weighed 218. I basically dropped about 42 pounds thus far starting January 25th.

Starting point is 00:23:35 And if there's one thing I've learned during this entire fitness journey, proper hydration makes a huge difference in how you feel and how you perform.

Starting point is 00:24:04 no fake aftertaste there are definitely moments where i'm hit with fatigue or that midday slump i think you guys all know how that feels and genuinely a lot of the time a hydration boost like this does more to turn my energy and move around more than a caffeine or some stimulant one stick 16 ounces of water it hydrates better than water alone sometimes i'm Mix it with my protein shakes as well.

Thank you again, Liquid Ivy for sponsoring this video and making my day to day so much better. I know I've seen some stuff from these movies in 3D, which, like, I think 3D is always kind of debated as to like, oh, how good is the 3D?

Starting point is 00:25:18 But like what I remember of that was very spectacular and really, you know, utilized the breadth of the ability of that technology where like and so I can only imagine what a 40x experience of a movie like this like this is perfect for 40x because it wouldn't be too overbearing no but in the scenes where it's really kick in and you're flying and the chairs are moving and the winds on like I bet that would be spectacular then combined with the 3D because just yeah the the perspectives on those sequences when you get you know you're going through the clouds and everything and you know there's there's one to where they're doing a lot of motion and a lot of spinning or whatever and just like the way the background is moving is just so it really throws you into the immediate sensory experience of the scene and it really we were talking about something else recently that was animated that kind of gave me this feeling uh sometimes when you're watching animation i think you can get caught up in the moment and in what they're expressing and feel like you're actually you forget about the animation and you think you're just looking at a a living image, you know. And some of the flying sequences here especially kind of had that effect on me where I was sort of momentarily transported out of the awareness of watching an animated movie and just like, wow, these flying sequences are amazing. Like, you know, the similar to how you'd feel when you're watching, not that they're one to

Starting point is 00:26:41 one, but, you know, like a Top Gun Maverick, you know, you're like, wow, what they achieved here, you know, by really going up there. And this, you know, has that feeling. And it's, I'm fascinated to kind of pick that apart and figure out what it is because there's lots of stuff that does aerial sequences and often quite well but uh yeah like these ones especially were very gripping and for a movie about dragons and dragon riding about flight uh i thought they really used those moments not sparingly but they were like the right amount of flying sequences and when you had them they were typically very

Starting point is 00:27:16 striking and very again sensory and immersive and sweeping and and they really encapsulate a especially in this, you know, earlier period in history, so to speak. Like, they really capture, like, what magic that must feel like. You know, it's like, wow. Like, for, you know, we have airplanes at the very least. But, like, for them, it's, this is probably the first time you're experiencing any version of flight. And that would be life changing. And I feel like it, it nicely encapsulates that sweep and that feeling and that sort of awesome nature of what that is.

Starting point is 00:27:53 Yeah, I think they also do a really good job of establishing what it's like to bond with a new animal. A little peek into my own life here. I have spent some time, dog sitting for some friends, but I've also spent some time with some new people in my life trying to get their cats to like me. Oh, yeah, you're out here slow blinking it up. I'm out here slow blinking because I learned recently that you have to, one, not pay attention to cats because, you know, avoid attachment type of energy. But also, when you catch their eye, you have to slow blink. You have to hit them with one of these, you know, a few times. Casually, you know, not too much.

Starting point is 00:28:43 You don't want to look like put them off, but love me. love me oh but yeah it was funny seeing hiccup you know bond with toothless and seeing the influences of both cats and dogs and how you go

Starting point is 00:29:08 about trying to get both of those animals to try to warm up to you and show affection I thought it did a really great job of finding that balance line between the two but also being a dragon at the same time like all of it was beautiful chef's kiss absolutely yeah looking up dragons that are great from cinema is teaching me what movies i need to go back i'm always i'm always like

Starting point is 00:29:35 what did i forget and i'm like never-ending story is a movie i definitely haven't seen since i was a young child and i feel like some people would definitely name check that one never seen a movie i have seen but i could not tell you a single detail about it is riah the last dragon let's go i i we We did watch that. Yeah. You tell me a detail about it? There's at least one dragon in it. Okay.

Starting point is 00:29:57 I think his name's Raya. No, that's the lead character's name. I remember that much. Isn't, I think Aquafina was the dragon. Yes. Yeah, I think you're right. I'm sure someone's going to be mad that we didn't mention anybody from Game of Thrones. That's not a movie, though.

Starting point is 00:30:13 It's cinematic. I mean, but it's not TV. It's HBO. This is true. It's the slogan. It's in the slog. All right. yeah this was really lovely and i'm really excited to watch the next couple because uh again this is

Starting point is 00:30:27 one of those family movies that obviously can appeal to kids but isn't just aimed at kids solely and yeah it's like there's just enough it's like that whole thing with his uh his leg at the end is like it's not too harsh but it is like a real like oh you will be forever changed and and there is a physical element to this that we can't even though the physics are different and obviously it's heightened we we're not going to ignore the fact that yeah like this is destifying in a way and there is chance that you'll be you know like it's funny with the craig ferguson character and i loved his little like interchangeable hand thing that was just like always you know holding a turkey leg or a pint or you know his tools or whatever but yeah just like this this had really nice uh balance between

Starting point is 00:31:16 whimsy and heart and also some level of like honest to goodness stakes you know it's like we're fighting for our way of life i get why the conflict exists and i also appreciate that you know now toothless and hiccup match but also yeah like this has cost you a pound of flesh so to speak and uh you know again it's not getting heavy and grim but it is something that kind of i think for young people beholding this will be a bit of a sort of expansion on just how you look at the world. Yeah. Yeah, like this was really graceful and

Starting point is 00:31:50 I dare I say in certain ways for again, a family oriented comedy, kind of elegant in how it does its thing. This was very rich. It's like there's a lot of stuff that's easy to appreciate and that you could easily plop a kid down in front of. But like this was really rich. I thought this was like

Starting point is 00:32:06 really nicely handled and I could see why this is like DreamWorks, one of their top line properties, so to speak. Plop children, learn some life lessons. Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said and I look forward to watching the next one. But before we leave, I want to let you guys know you want to thank Prepper for cutting down these highlights. Oh, yeah. We should have done that at the top of this.

It would be a cool way to go, especially for her who seems so timid, but now, like, we've met before, now we're going to spend some quality time to get. And I imagine in that qualitative time that we have had, I have made you cry from my inspiring stories about me. It's a very eventful dinner. It's a very eventful dinner. We sat down,

Starting point is 00:33:52 we went to veggie grill. And I proceeded to only talk about me the entire night. And you were so moved and wowed by everything about me.
