The Dragons' Keep UNLEASHED: How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
Some podcasts have mythology or true crime. We have… Dragons!We're still on break, but we wanted to share something from The Dragons' Keep (before it was The Dragons' Keep) with our bonus episode about Lucy’s very favorite: How to Train Your Dragon! Just the first film this month. The sequels and TV show spin-offs (might) come later. For now, we’re examining all the reasons this might be the greatest animated movie of all time. Also, a brief Darien rant about live-action remakes represents an inherent disrespect of animation. Full spoilers for How to Train Your Dragon (2010) and How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell, as well as moderate spoilers for How to Train Your Dragon 2.EABA will return for Brisingr on Wednesday, September 2!Help Lucy meet Toothless at Universal Epic Universe AND enjoy more bonus episodes by supporting the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EABACover art by Luana PastorNo portion of this episode may be used for generative AI or large language models training purposes or to create derivative works without express written permission from the creators and co-hosts Lucy Hart and Darien Smartt.
