How to Train Your Dragon

     How to Train Your Dragon is a 2010 computer-animated fantasy film by DreamWorks Animation loosely based on the 2003 book of the same title. The film stars the voice talents of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Gerard Butler, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, and David Tennant.


     The story takes place in a mythical Viking world where a young Viking teenager named "Hiccup" aspires to follow his tribe's tradition of becoming a dragon slayer. After finally capturing his first dragon, and with his chance at finally gaining the tribe's acceptance, he finds that he no longer has the desire to kill it and instead befriends it. The film was released March 26, 2010, to near universal acclaim.

                                                                          Development

In initial development, the plot followed the original novel closely but was then altered. About halfway through production, Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the writer-directors of Disney's Lilo & Stitch, took over as co-directors. The original plot was "heavily loyal to the book", but was regarded as geared to a too-young demographic and too "sweet" and "whimsical", according to Baruchel. In the novel, Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, is incredibly small for a dragon. In the film, Toothless is a Night Fury, the rarest of all dragons, and is large enough to serve as a flying mount for both Hiccup and Astrid.

The filmmakers hired cinematographer Roger Deakins (known for frequently collaborating with the Coen brothers) as a visual consultant to help them with lighting and overall look of the movie and "add a live-action feel".

Dragon Species

Night Fury
The rarest and most intelligent of the dragon species.It can fly higher, faster and longer than any dragon, and its incredible power-to-weight ratio renders it capable of vertical takeoff.

Monstrous Nightmare
This dragon can attack any time of the day or night, from the air or on the ground.It is highly aggressive, and will never run from a fight.

Gronckle
Gronckle are lazy.They are slow in the air, but make up for this with their maneuverability. A Gronckle can fly backwards, sideways, and even hover. Gronckles attack from the air, where their primary weapon is most effective

Deadly Nadder
Perhaps the most beautiful dragon. Nadders are quick and agile in the air and can fly for long distances.The blast of a Nadder can melt steel, or turn a man to ash in seconds. It possesses the hottest fire in the dragon world.

Zippleback
The Zippeback is one of the largest dragons one may ever encounter.Zippelbacks are solitary, preferring to hunt alone.Instead of breathing fire, a Zippel makes explosions. One head breathes gas, and the other head ignites it.

Terrible Terror
Smallest of the dragons is the Terrible Terror. The largest on record was a mob of Terrors over two hundred strong.even the strongest Viking can be overwhelmed, and the biggest sheep can be stolen.

Bonsai kitten SO CRUEL!!!

its a cruel act that has been done..but now has stoped..maybe you know about it, maybe you dont..

Bonsai Kitten was an internet hoax that claimed to give instructions on how to grow kittens in bottles as a form of decoration, similar in fashion to a Bonsai tree. Soon after birth the kitten is supposedly placed in a glass container, allowing the kitten to grow to fill the vessel that contains it.


The kitten allegedly breathes through specially drilled holes in the glass and may be fed and expel waste through tubes, and their purpose is supposedly as an elaborate ornament, instead of a pet. While the website is no longer online, mirrors with copies of the website content exist and are generally referred to.

The hoax


Despite a massive negative response and much belief otherwise, the entire site was an elaborate hoax by a group of MIT graduate students.

The site was in part a parody of the Japanese art of bonsai, but also resembles the mythical practice of comprachicos (in which the subjects are human).

The hoax suggested that people could buy the required equipment through the website; this turned out to be entirely false, like the rest of the site. The hoaxer went so far as to create a falsified guestbook on the site, containing user responses, but checking these email addresses proves fruitless, as none of the users are real. Further support for the hoax came in the form of a falsified mailing list.

The original registrant for Bonsaikitten.com was falsely listed with the address for the Department of Art History and Archaeology, Columbia University.

What is anime?

What is anime?

Anime is actually a shortened version of the word "animation" and refers to the distinctly unique Japanese animation. Anime originated back in 1963 when a man named Osamu Tezuka produced the first truly successful Japanese animation series known as "Testuwan Atom," aka "Atom Boy." Testuwan was a big fan of popular Western cartoons, particularly those produced by Disney.


Like any other type of visual entertainment, anime has its own set of genres, demographics and yes, even ratings. Unlike American cartoons, anime is not strictly intended for young children. Quite the contrary, there is an entire anime subset devoted strictly to older viewers (18+), as well as all the maturity levels in between.


Both hand-drawn and computer-animated anime exist. It is used in television series, films, video, video games, commercials, and internet-based releases, and represents most, if not all, genres of fiction. Anime gained early[when?] popularity in East and Southeast Asia and has garnered more-recent popularity in the Western World.[
Today's anime has made leaps and bounds in terms of storylines and animation techniques. Think of the old Popeye cartoons and then compare them to a more modern Family Guy or Kim Possible and you get the idea.


Anime also displays some cultural differences. For example, casual nudity is accepted in Japan so shows rated for young teens might feature some content that American parents might feel was mildly suggestive.
