That part got to me too. I mean, it doesn't relate to anything in my life, but it was such a powerful moment, firstly for a kid's hero to have such drastic consequences to his bravery, and just...yeah, his face. It was really well done.

IMHO, the movie is miles better than the book. Maybe they get better down the way, but they were kinda unpleasant to me. I probably would've liked them more at age ten, I think, because Toothless reminds me a lot of Rudolph in the old "My Friend the Vampire" series.

But whether or not it's being compared with the book, the movie itself is such a good story that's well-told. It just succeeds in doing everything that a movie is supposed to do for an audience. I dunno, ever since H2G2 and reading Douglas Adams' view on adaptations, I've gotten more and more okay with adaptations being different from the source material, as long as they're good.

(just to clarify: I like adaptations that are different from the source material. But I want them to have great themes&storylines&characterizations of their own. And I don't think HTTYD the film is a good work in this regard. - different strokes, though.)
