They tied a ball to a cat's tail for reference when animating Toothless

I had a cat who was basically Toothless. All black, same weird jumping. No energy bolt breath though...
robotsfromspace
It might just be me, but...there’s no ball?

@PETA. They hurt the cat!! Oh wait it’s not twitter.
HeyTaterTot
The maker of Toothless based all the characteristics off of his cat. Which is awesome.

I need more of this background research.

No animals were harmed in the making of this movie... But we sure fucked with them. #TechnicallyLegal
ChuckWeiss
So... could they still put the "no animals harmed" thing at the end of the credits?

I've got a black floof of a cat and his nickname was toothless for a while after seeing this film.

I always see cats as little hairy wingless dragons
NeroSphere
Some of the same animations were used for Baymax as toothless.
eihposnostam
Toothless was animated as a cross between a cat and a horse

Or was the cat just a brilliant actor?

If anyone doesn't recognise it, this is from the 'Gift of the Night Fury' christmas short.

I was thinking this scene had a lot more snow than I remembered seeing in the movie.

I might be alone in this but I loved Race to the Edge

It was dope

I did it once to my cat and he zoomed in a circle too fast to be seen and took off on a straight shot. Never laughed so hard in my life.

I can't wait for the 3rd movie.
srslydude
I heard they're going to end it about the same as the book series, which is super duper depressing.
Sutashi
Never read it.

This might be exactly how the animators got it to look so natural

Lol literally in the description

That's what I loved about these movies: they did their research, right down to some of the most subtle behaviors! 1/

The dragons really felt like creatures that could plausibly exist, in terms of how they moved, behaved, etc. Especially Toothless. 2/
Raith93
But still Some1 had to come to work high or a kid was there n suggested this idea to study.
Taxicat
Or just someone with enough experience with cats. Pretty sure every cat owner has seen their cat panic over tape.

nicepersonbadbreath
They could use that for dragon too

Everything about Toothless is just a hairless cat. I always thought so.
MrAsianGuy90

Don't promote that BS myth that it creates "crazy cat lady syndrome". It doesn't.
