HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON THE HIDDEN WORLD – The Kidz talk to Writer/Director Dean Deblois
What’s your favourite film you’ve ever made and why? Con age 7
Dean Deblois – Wow…that is a difficult one. I would say…..I would say this one. I would say How to Train Your Dragon 2 is my favourite film that I’ve made because it’s the first time I’ve had a chance to write and Direct my myself. So it most closely reflects my own tastes. We love Stitch.
I’m very proud of all of them so I find that a very difficult question. Bit I think this pot ocular film gave me a chance to really explore my own tastes. Every other film I’ve Directed was with Chris Sanders so it was a combination of our sensibilities.
If you was a dragon what element/powers would you have? Hag age 10
Dean Deblois – Well I’ve always loved the ability to turn invisible. So I think if I was a Dragon I would love to be a ‘Stealthy Dragon’. And a very agile Dragon one that could canal age against any environment. Or have the ability to genuinely go invisible.
Have you seen a pink Dragon that would cuddle me? Bex age 3
Dean Deblois – (Laughs) That’s very sweet. I have in fact. There’s a version of a Groncall that was done as a stuffed toy for the Dragon arena show. It was big and pink, fluffy and I think it would be a great cuddly pal.
If you had a dragon – what would you call it and why? Hag age 10
Dean Deblois – I think I would call my Dragon Bone crusher. I think it’s a nice tough name for a large Dragon. It would have to be a large Dragon to fly me around because I’m a large person. So I think a big tough rock textured dragon called ‘Bone Crusher’.
What do you think is the biggest threat to any Dragon? Con age 7
Dean Deblois – I think the biggest threat to any Dragon is human that want to abuse them – like Drago (In How to Train Your Dragon 2).
Like most animals they’re tough on the exterior but also quite vulnerable.
Drago is the type of character who wants to force everything to do his bidding. So I think like most animals in the world – I think the biggest threat are humans that don’t expect nature.
Can I watch How to train your Dragon 3 this Christmas please? Talia age 5
Dean Deblois – (Laughs) I wish I could entertain that request. Sadly animated movies take three years to make, so we’re just getting started and it’s gonna take a little while. Please have some patience. (Its out Feb 1st 2019 and took three years to make)
Does Hiccups Dad come back into How to Train your Dragon 3 OB1 style? Hag age 10
Dean Deblois – Interesting. Well – that’s an interesting notion. And I do have something planned that’s not quite that – not quite OB1. But…..I think we will see a little bit more of Stowak in the story. In the way that there might be moment revisited. Where Hiccups trying to figure out what to do and he remembers times with his father that gives him some guidance.
But if he ends up being a ghost like OB1 it’ll be because I mentioned it yeah? Hag age 10
Dean Deblois – Yes! (Laughs) Yes!!!
