In a surprising turn of events, the latest installment of the ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ franchise has soared to the top of the US box office, leaving audiences roaring with laughter and excitement. The film, which follows the adventures of a young Viking named Hiccup and his dragon Toothless, has captured the hearts of viewers of all ages with its thrilling action sequences and heartwarming message of friendship.
Meanwhile, in a not-so-surprising turn of events, Pixar’s latest film ‘Elio’ has marked a new low for the animation studio, leaving audiences scratching their heads in confusion. The movie, which tells the story of a sentient cactus who embarks on a journey of self-discovery, has failed to resonate with viewers and has been dubbed by critics as “the worst Pixar film since Cars 2.”
In response to the success of ‘How to Train Your Dragon,’ director Dean DeBlois released a statement saying, “I am thrilled to see the positive reception to our film. It just goes to show that audiences still appreciate a good old-fashioned dragon tale.”
In contrast, Pixar’s director, Pete Docter, seemed to take the box office flop of ‘Elio’ in stride, jokingly saying, “Well, I guess we can’t all be winners. Maybe next time we’ll stick to talking toys and lovable monsters.”
Fans of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ have taken to social media to express their excitement over the film’s success, with one user tweeting, “I would ride Toothless into battle any day! #DragonRiderforlife.”
On the other hand, fans of Pixar have been less enthusiastic about ‘Elio,’ with one commenter writing, “I never thought I would see the day when Pixar would stoop to making a movie about a cactus. What’s next, a film about a talking rock?”
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is for sure – ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ has proven once again that when it comes to animated films, dragons will always reign supreme. As for ‘Elio,’ well, let’s just say Pixar may need to go back to the drawing board for their next project.
