Dragon Slayer Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Awesome news!!! I assume this is a very prestigious award? Go HTTYD!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heISmyGspot Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Awesome news!!! I assume this is a very prestigious award? Go HTTYD!!!! The Annies are to animation what the Oscars are to motion pictures. I'm so excited to see Dragon getting recognition. I LOVVVVEEE everything about this movie! I'm thrilled there's talk of a sequel, even WITHOUT Gerry being attached to it. (Although I have to admit it IS an odd sensation finding yourself "squirming in your seat" while at a "children's film" as a result of the accents. Gerry and Craig gave some GREAT "aural sex" and Stoick's mannerisms mimic Gerry so much it's verra easy to "go there" And I have "gone there" ... repeatedly. ) The soundtrack is extraordinary. I have as many copies of the Dragon ST as I do POTO - and that's saying something! It's so "rich." I'm glad to see John Powell getting some buzz, too!

Dragon Slayer Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have the soundtrack and I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbandonThought Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ooooh, I really hope that John Powell wins for the music for HTTYD! I bought the soundtrack after watching it the second time, and I love it. I listen to it all the time when I'm working on school work or writing, or anything when I can't get distracted by lyrics! It's right up there with the Gladiator soundtrack for me! And of course, GREAT to see Gerry himself nominated! He really did a great job with the voice acting! He made Stoick who he was!

shirsan Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 It always bothers me that they list Gerry after Jay. I know that Jay was probably the lead to kids, but Gerry was listed first in the credits in the film and I don't see why they don't list him first when talking about the movie. Love the music, love John Powell. I bought the soundtrack to PSILY and love it. I bought the soundtrack to HTTYD and love it too. I also have other CDs by John Powell. He was around long before PSILY, but I know many here were introduced to his musical genius through PSILY. I hope this movie wins in all categories. I hope it is a clean sweep and that Gerry is there to accept his award. Love him absolutely, Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary_SA Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well I think they list Jay first as he was in effect the main character in the movie? Usually that do that? The fact that Gerry's name was first in the credits was I think, due to him being a big name and a huge draw card. He was one of the reasons I went to see that movie above other animated movies. Well done HTTYD .... AWESOME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heISmyGspot Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Tom Kenny, the guy that does SpongeBob's voice, is hosting the Annies. Should be interesting!! I can't wait until February 5th! (This award show stands out for me because it's also my oldest son's birthday; so it stays in my noggin. LOL). I hope we celebrate with Gerry & Dragon winning Annies!
