Quotes from Cate Blanchett

  • “The whole process of trying to bring something to life in advance of the animation — purely with your voice — I found it a really interesting challenge.” (THR, May 2014)

Quotes from Others

  • Dean DeBlois:
    — “It’s such a rare opportunity to tell a story in three acts, and bring it to its finite end, but to do so in a way that we planned, and not have it go off the rails, or suddenly get turned into a bunch of other sequels we didn’t want. It feels like we kept ourselves honest, and tried to do the best we could with the characters. Now that it’s done, it’s bittersweet because we’re not working together on the same projects, but we do feel like it’s a feather in our cap. So, it was worth the decade.”
