Filmmakers Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders faced a tough deadline when they were brought in to rework the animated film.
Animated movies can take forever to make — three or four years is well within the ordinary. “How to Train Your Dragon,” which tells the story of a scrawny kid destined to prove his hecklers wrong through an unusual relationship with a dragon, moved at a radically different pace: the two filmmakers behind March 26’s 3-D adventure had just 12 months to make their film, inheriting a project needing a top-to-bottom overhaul.

Everybody comes in for a skewering on Comedy Central’s new animated series.
It’s not enough to be illustrated and funny anymore: These days, animation is a place for subversion and hidden meaning. It’s also the place for overt political posturing: Since “The West Wing” went off the air, liberalism and conservatism have been largely absent from television as prominent story lines or attributes. Live action television starring humans, that is. When the characters are drawn, partisan knives come out, even if the results often fizzle like ABC’s “The Goode Family.”
