Universal is officially in the live-action remake game with their release of How to Train Your Dragon. Their live-action version of the 2010 franchise-launching animated hit is less a reimagining and more a re-creation, according to critics and fans who have seen it. The movie even features the same director as the animated version (Dean DeBlois), the same composer (John Powell), and a returning key cast member in Gerard Butler, who voiced Stoick the Vast in the original.
