About the night fury's gift

[secondlina]

I love Astrid. After watchign the new short “gift of the night fury”, it’s pretty much convinced me she’s basically an over-achiever. When the whole viking deal was about kicking ass, she was THE ass-kicker. Now that Berk is all about innovation (mainly Hiccup’s), she tries really hard to be innovative and kind. When the situation seemed bleak, she worked hard to keep up morale and invent traditions. Of course, she’s more of a battlefiled maiden then anything else, so her innovative ideas were met with so-so results, kinda like Hiccup’s at first. So, yay, Astrid!

Hiccup is awesome, as usual. And his bromance with toothless is the best. :D The short really showed more of their abilities and their friendship. And honestly, that's why we are watching this in the first place. Dragon bromance. 



The other vikings are amazing too. Gosh, the EXPRESSIONS. I was disappointed by the lack of textures and lighting, but the facial expressions really made up for it. Especially Astrid's smugness. 

Also, be warned, the short features baby dragons.

Please ignore herp-dee-derp Toothless in drawing.

Astrid! <333333333333333

I am so thrilled that there will be a film sequel, but we got to wait two years! @_@

And OMG, a third one is also being planned!

I refuse to ignore the herp-dee-derp Toothless, because he is awesome.

Heee... Awww, Hiccup and Astrid. So much cuteness! ♥ And Derpy Toothless is totally terrific! XD

I'm totally with you here, I LOVED Astrid in Gift. She totally is an over-achiever, sometimes too much for her own good. XD I laughed waaaay more than was probably necessary during the whole "The eggs explode!?!??!" scene. XD

"...the eggs explode ^^;;" *BOOM!!"

They did such a good job with the character animation on this one. Also the clouds (I'm such a sucker for fluffy bilowy clouds).

I only wish it was an hour long. XD

I almost picked this up today, but I decided to hold off for now. (Everything is coming with Blu-Ray. I don't want an extra disc. Argh!) I did notice from the trailer that it wasn't as smooth or detailed as the movie, but that's pretty much to be expected. As long as the voice cast came back, I'll be happy.
