Any film studio would kill for a movie that earns north of $400 million domestically while drawing near universal raves from critics.one 2010 features managed both feats,a one-two punch that normally would generate serious talk of an Oscar for best picture.Too bad the film features an animated Toy named Woody.

"how to Train your Dragon" routinely demolish the competition at the box office,and animated films hold slots on the list of the 10 top-grossing films this year.
"Toy Story 3","How to Train Dragon","Sherk for ever After and Despicable me."

"Disney feelings was purly personal,and based on their pwn memories of Disney experience in their past,rather then some quentified design formula or art style.
