Ben Shapiro, who is the face of the largest, fastest growing podcast and radio show in America, The Daily Wire, recently talked about How To Train Your Dragon!, Specifically its score. He’s a violin and piano player (played in a symphony at age 12) and loves classical music. So on the subject of music, he knows what he’s talking about. And what he said was wonderful and made my week! I have lovingly transcribed it here for you to read:

“My daughter for the first time watched How To Train Your Dragon, which is a really underrated film, one of the great Oscar robberies in history, people like to talk about Oscar robberies in terms of Best Picture......One of the great Oscar robberies of ALL time happened in the year 2010, when How To Train Your Dragon was nominated for best score. Now, the score is by a guy named John Powell and it is just a terrific score, a first rate score, and it was nominated against a couple of other scores. Well, one was the Social Network, Trent Reznor wrote the music to the Social Network. Which is to say he wrote four notes that repeat. It's terrible, it's a terrible score. And yeah, that won and this score from How To Train Your Dragon did not. I know people dismiss animated scores, this is a phenomenal score. Here’s the flying there from How To Train Your Dragon by John Powell:

*Plays end of Test Drive and part of Coming Back Around*

“Really terrific, terrific score. I mean-it's great. It's such a great score. It was up against a couple- I mean the Social Network winning that year, it's not just that the social network winning in 2010 was a travesty for it being chosen over How To Train Your Dragon, it was also chosen over the scores to Inception and The King's Speech. Kay, that’s just ridiculous! It just goes to show you that Oscar voters are morons. They’re MORONS. For the life of them they cannot pick a decent score. It's just UNBELIEVABLE! It's unbelievable. Okay, so, I get passionate about this sort of stuff. Talking about energy over skill that’s a good example. First of all, Social Network didn’t even have energy! How To Train Your Dragon is so great. Ever night, this is our new bed time routine, I put both my son and my daughter on my back, he climbs up first cause he's smaller and she smooshes him from the back. They climb up onto my back and I put this theme on and I just run around the house. Then I throw them into bed and they go to sleep.”

Here’s the video if you want to hear him for yourself. Skip to 52:07 if you don’t want to listen to politics.

Isn’t that last part so sweet?! And what he’s saying about our beloved HTTYD is nothing but good!

I know you’re thinking it, HTTYD 2 wasn’t even NOMINATED! Can’t wait to hear his rant after he sees it!

This made my week and I hope it made yours a little brighter!
