Ep1120: Here We Go Again: How to Train Your Dragon (2010 / 2025) - Live Roundtable Review
Dreamworks has entered the "live action remake" arena with How to Train Your Dragon, and Earth's Mightiest Critics have a take or two on the déjà vu!
Dean DeBlois returns with an update of the 2010 animated hit, which he co-directed with Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, The Wild Robot). He's riding solo this time and, depending on who you ask, the "new" version is either so faithful that it puts Disney's recent live-action efforts in their place--or renders the whole experience "toothless"!
This week's EMC panel promises fire-breathing spectacle nonpareil, as our animated animation fans present both POV's with gusto!
Join us for a look at the good, the bad and the repetitive. We also take your questions, comments, and SuperChats!
