You know, on the topic of How to Be a Pirate...the more I learn about the book, the less it seems to be about pirates. Its about the vikings finding treasure.
What I hope is that the sequels work on, say, a nugget of the plot in the book (like how the basic Stoick and Hiccup theme and "how to treat a dragon" theme were in both the book and the movie, and the rest was vastly changed). For example, HTBAP would still be about them finding the treasure of a Viking from times back, but it would be more epic. Or if we want to look even further ahead to How to Speak Dragonese, the basic Romans kidnap dragons plot would be there, but maybe the effects on Hiccup would be nearly mind-shattering or something.
And as long as Alvin's in there, I'm happy. ^^

Oh, lordy, that would make for an EPIC sequel...Well, okay, that alone wouldn't, but that very premise would certainly be interesting enough!

Given that Hiccup's voice seemed to be in the middle of puberty, they MAY change him but they would probably have his actor speak more naturally deep. That kind of actor change is the only I would like. ....NOOOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE DON'T DO THAT!!!!! I'm not singling this comment out to flame. Just.... Jay Baruchel is the BEST Hiccup (as always with the original voice of anyone in animation)... plus his voice is sexy.

A treasure finding movie could be fun! I haven't read "Be a Pirate" so I can't say much about that, but I have read "Speak Dragonese" and I could see how it could inspire a sequel (though I'm also worried because the scene with the caged doves creeped me the hell out). Really, the only thing I want from the sequel is to see how they'd handle the deal with Hiccup's leg. Obviously it would cause some problems but I don't want it to be treated as if it's something that will make him a nuisance or fragile. I'd like to see it treated as something that has changed him but he can still live his life without stressing over it.

I've been away for a few days and I already missed a lot! Wow, this made me very happy. Sure, I find it hard to believe it'll be as good as the first movie, but you never know. Definately looking forward to it!

Well, they have 3 years to make it, so one hopes they use their time wisely and give us a sequel worth rejoicing over! ...is really all I can say at the moment, who knows what they'll have for us in that amount of time.

My feelings
(Movie)
Mixed of course, 3 equals? What will they be about?
I am - as many of you are - cautiously optimistic. The reason I am optimistic is this -
There's only so much you can do with Shrek sequals and movies like it. There is no continuing storylie, there's NO WAY you will feel attached to the characters as you do to continuing storylines, there's still alot you can do with the HTTYD world.
The creators of the movie series also have more heart in the movie then the people who make Shrek and movies like it do. They seem to care about the characters and setting more, like it's their "baby". I don't also feel the "milking it" feeling BECAUSE of that as well. I may be wrong, but I do think they care about their movies, like the Toy Story franchise.
Cautiously? Well, because most sequels usually suck :l.
Tv Series -
After I watched the movie I immediately thought, I bet they're going to make a series about it. And I was surprisingly right.
I have mixed feelings as well, but it could go amazingly well.
I hope it's 2D animated (and if it's on nick and is 2D I hope it takes the route of avatar in terms of animation quality) though I see that as being highly unlikely. That being said, I won't mind a nice 3D short-animated series focusing on character backgrounds like 6 or so episodes. Enough time to give quality storyline, and good animation in the 1-2 years before it's supposed to air. Being that the series is not the main franchise, which the movies are, I'm not expecting something more then a mini-series or stand alone episodes. Though I do wish for something more.

Apparently they're making THREE sequels now. Along with SIX more Kung Fu Panda movies. And FOUR Madagascars as well.

Some news on the series, which I'm actually quite happy with. Hopefully they stick with their plan.

I'm still not so sure about this idea, just like I posted before, they're going to ruin the movie. Every single time I think about the sequel or the series, I really feel lots of hatred againts the movie, as if the sequel and series had already ruined it.
