Acting in "How to train your dragon"

Hi guys,
I thought I would share my thought on the acting in "How to train your dragon".
I liked the movie and I thought it was refreshing to see a different animation style.

Here is an example from a clip that I like (00:49 - 00:55). I feel the movie has shown very good acting there.
The action already gives a clear message - when the main character (the guy on the right) is trying to touch the dragon but he's looking away.

He knows the dragon is dangerous and probably he could die any moment. He wants to communicate with the dragon but he doesn't know anything about the dragon at all. He's willing to take risk not knowing what's going to happen to him.

The action is already strong, the line "It's Ok. I'm not gonna hurt you" probably not necessary anymore. Try playing it without sound and this piece of action is even better.
What do you think? Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for reading :)
