How to train your Dragon bonus feature and pencil test
Quick reminder for those who own the Blu-ray version of How to Train Your Dragon. From highdefdiscnews:
That making-of is really cool, check it out!
Then, via Mike Stern's twitter, check out Matt Williams' super sweet pencil tests for the bonus short, The Legend of the Boneknapper:
“Finding The Story” (52:32 – 1080p HD) is a BD-Live EXCLUSIVE feature that will be streaming online for users on release date. The studio was kind enough to provide us with a burnt BDr (recordable Blu-ray Disc) of this entire “making of” style featurette. Again, this featurette is NOT included on the actual disc itself, it will be streamed via BD-Live and requires the user to be on a “Profile 2.0” capable Blu-ray Disc Player with Internet connectivity. This features Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo sound.
That making-of is really cool, check it out!

Reminds me a bit of Emmet Brown and Ledger's Joker? :)
I like how he calms down around 3mins which really emphasis his point. Fun guy to watch!
