In animation, no one gets to see your face, so you can really mess up with your voice like I did 'ParaNorman;' I was a bully in that, which was so much fun to do. In 'How to Train Your Dragon,' I'm a little Viking character. So, it's kind of exciting...

Stoick: [presenting Hiccup with a helmet] Your mother would have wanted you to have it. It's half of her breastplate. [Hiccup quickly takes his hand off the helmet] Stoick: [tapping his own helmet] Matching set. Keeps her... keeps her close, you know...

[Po gazes upon the Dragon Scroll and screams... ] Po: It's blank! Shifu: What? Po: Here, look! [Po holds out the scroll] Shifu: No, I am forbidden to look upon... [Sifu grabs the Scroll and looks for himself] Shifu: Blank!... I don't, I don't underst...
Tai Lung: Finally... oh, yes... at last, the power of the Dragon Scroll is *mine*... [He opens the scroll - and stares at it] Tai Lung: It's nothing! Po: It's okay. I didn't get it the first time either. Tai Lung: What? Po: There *is* no secret ingre...
