Saw the trailer to this movie and I have got to see it, of course. But something that kept bugging me is the black dragon looks awfully familiar. Then it hits me. It reminds me of Stitch, from Lilo and Stitch. Now I can’t get it out of my head when I see the dragon. Does anyone else make the same assessment?

It does remind me a little of Stitch. It has the same shape of head and also the teeth.

The main human character is what looks familiar to me. Everyone at my work thinks that I look like him.

Ian, come to think of it Hiccup, the main character, does remind me of a previous character. Kinda reminds me of Justin Timberlake’s role in Shrek the Third (Artie or Aurthor)?
