Never be afraid of loving a story that’s pure fucking awesome. The reason kids movies so often are that engrossing, is because they can’t get away with useless fluff or “artsy-ness.” It means that it’s entirely about the story or it will lose its audience. But that’s all a film ought to be anyway.
As someone who has watched more films than likely most people, went to film school, seen hundreds of super “out there” film work, and has made a few myself — after all of that I’ve come full circle to “kids films are the truest expression of the art of telling story on film.”
How to Train Your Dragon is an incredible story. I’m a huge fan of The Last Airbender too.
