Dragons on Film:
Oh for Christ's sake ...

Rotten Tomatoes says:
Boasting dazzling animation, a script with surprising dramatic depth, and thrilling 3-D sequences, How to Train Your Dragon soars.

Apparently one of the dimensions that was not researched was sound. For some inexplicable reason these dragons do not sound anything like small french poodles. No, instead they make the typical silly roaring sounds endlessly perpetuated in Hollywood film lore.

How much longer will this effrontery be foisted onto the national, yea international, consciousness? Just because this is entertainment for children, doesn't mean that facts have to be thrown out of the window. We no longer postulate that world is flat, why do we continue to champion that dragons made this absurd sound?

  1. Please post samples. Dragons are too big to make tiny sounds.
