IMDb's new "HTTYD" quiz!

Think you know How to Train Your Dragon? Take our quiz and find out how much of the cast and crew you can identify!



So IMDb has a new section called IMDb Movie Quiz & TV Quiz, where users can generate and share their own quizzes.

This one for HTTYD is only a automatically generated one, in which it asks you the names of the cast (Just the one on the front page). There are some others, which include guessing the movie titles in the Top 250, oscar winners etc.

I think this is pretty cool. You can make your own quiz, but as far as I know, you can't ask specific questions like "Is Hiccup Right- or Left-handed" or something. I've only just discovered this though. I hope they'll enable that soon.

Cool. That is pretty hard... guess I shouldn't have chosen "hard". I couldn't even guess the first few.

The quiz is flawed also When it asked for the director I correctly entered Chris Sanders, but it said it was incorrect, then I entered Dean DeBlois and it told me the correct answer was Chris Sanders.. lol. I guess having two directors confuses it?

Yes, it can be pretty difficult. It sometimes asks the actors of minor roles like Spitelout, whom I have never heard of before. It's pretty cool memorizing some other actors of this movie though, not just the main ones.

The system is definitely a little flawed, but I think this could be a cool thing, especially if they enable customized quizzes.

Edit: I also just noticed that the link to "Make and share your own quiz" leads to an 404. It's definitely just in the beta phase.

Fun fact: the voice of Spitelout was done by the same guy who read Cressida's "How to" books for the audiobooks versions. His name is David Tennant.

Fantastic Scottish actor, probably best known for playing Dr Who for five years, but he also played Hamlet with the Royal Shakespeare Company - doesn't get much better than that.

Shame, in a way, that he didn't have a bigger role in HTTYD.

Ah, right, that name definitely did sound familiar, but I thought I must have confused him for someone else. I would have never thought they got such a well-known actor for such a minor role. Did he even have a line? I don't remember one, except from maybe saying "Right!" to Stoick when the Death attacks, but even that is extremely brief. And even if he wasn't a well known actor, it's awesome to have the same guy who read the books for the audiobooks voice a role. But that just doesn't really pay off if he barely speaks. Maybe he was in a scene that didn't make the final cut?

It reminds me of "Kung Fu Panda", for which they got Jackie Chan to voice Monkey - Only to have him say a total of 5 lines. Wasted Potential... Seems to be the same here. I don't get it.

He has approximately 4-5 lines in the whole movie.

At the beginning during the dragon raid you can hear him saying "Get inside" to Hiccup. In another scene during the raid he shouts "Hoist the torches".

Apart from that he says "I'm with you Stoick" after Stoick mentions that those who stay on Berk will have to look after Hiccup.
That's just weak songwriting. You wrote a bad song, Petey.
