It's supposed to officially premier tonight. It had an hour preview a few weeks ago.

It was pretty good. As a base I thought the movie was one of the best animated movies ever made, and I think the other two Dreamcast CG series range from to good to excellent.

Nothing spectacular so far. The animation is a little better than you'd expect for television. It features a lot of the same voice cast or reasonable facsimiles.

There wasn't mush in the way of story, but they have been aswering some questions that logically extend from the ending of the first movie.

I give it a B- right now.

Dreamcast?

I didn't know they were making a show. Does it take place before or after the movie?

I watched the preview with my nephew, and we thought it was alright. Neither of us have seen the movie, though.

Also, lol at "Dreamcast CG" in the OP.

It was actually pretty great. We went to see the "Walking with Dinosaurs" live show a few years ago. Both are made (put on?) by the same company. Quality stuff -- very innovative.

Be warned though, they'll take all the money you have and then some. Lots of cool HTTYD stuff for sale.

I look forward to reading more impressions. I'm always very cautious when it comes to watching animated series like this.

Looks like it's starting to hit it's stride.

There was a string of mediocre lesson of the day episodes, but the last couple have been legitimately good to great.

Really starting flesh the world out and getting an overarching story of sorts going.
Some changes might even impact the sequel.

It's no Tron: Uprising yet.

But it's getting pretty good.

The first season has come and gone.

And it still has more potential than it's lived up to. A solid B.

It was more about building on the characters and expanding the world. Season 2 better bring it though!

I really bumped it because I didn't want to start a new thread with no trailers or screenshots.

HtTYD 2 has been shown off to the press.

It sounds like the characters have been aged up, which is pretty awesome if true. But that was a shitty article and headline in general so that could just be unclear writing.

With Kung Fu, Dragons and Rise of The Guardians it really feels like Dreamworks wants to say fuck it and make a straight animated action cartoon.

Now that ILM is Disney's slave, I think the action movie AND PG-13 barrier is on Dreamworks to break.

Surprised this thread is so empty. Thought people loved the movie?


Anyway, I caught like two episodes, and it's actually pretty dang good. Writing is great, and it seems they received a pretty decent animation budget (unlike say, that horrendously shitty Kung Fu Panda series). Still a bit below Penguins of Madagascar (the best thing DW has created in over a decade), but very good nonetheless.

Yeah the animation was pretty Godly for television.

I guess it wasn't so popular because there wasn't any huge developments.

It spent so much time expanding on the characters, changing dynamics from the movie, expandnding realistically from the film's ending it had no time to tell an interesting arc.

Hopefully with the way the season ended, the next has an actual season long plot.
