Frozen vs HTTYD:

Disney animated snow here to be soft and heavy. I think they even developed a whole software just for animating snow! They add a lot more vivid color, like the blues in the shadows and the oranges in the light. Obviously, the way they animate catches the eye easier because of its strong color and bouncy movement. Characteristic and still reminiscent of the classic Disney movies.

Dreamworks made the snow here look powdery, like it had just fallen. Look how it kind of “explodes” and clouds up like dust when it’s hit with such a great impact. It’s less colored by light, but it still looks very real. Dreamworks puts so much love and detail into their animation, making it look so real you feel like you can reach out and touch it.

William “Billy” Windsor I is a cashmere goat who served as a lance corporal in the 1st Battalion, the Royal Welsh, an infantry battalion of the British Army.[1] 

oh yes. read that again. let it sink in. Billy is a goat. But he is also an officer.

Well. Most of the time.

He served as a lance corporal from 2001 until 2009, except for a three-month period in 2006 when he was demoted to fusilier, after inappropriate behaviour during the Queen’s Official Birthday celebrations

what kind of inappropriate behaviour, you ask?

The deployment to Cyprus with the 1st Battalion was Billy’s first overseas posting, and despite being ordered to keep in line, he refused to obey.[13] He failed to keep in step,[16] and tried to headbutt a drummer.

disgraceful

Billy was charged with “unacceptable behaviour”,[10] “lack of decorum” and “disobeying a direct order”,[16] and had to appear before his commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Huw James.[10][18] Following a disciplinary hearing, he was demoted to fusilier.[1][16] The change meant that other fusiliers in the regiment no longer had to stand to attention when Billy walked past, as they had to when he was a lance corporal.

I have often dreamt of seeing soldiers salute a goat. haven’t you?

But this is not the first army goat to cause trouble, oh no.

Another royal fusilier goat earned the nickname “the rebel”, after he butted a colonel while he was stooped over fixing his uniform’s trouser-strap.[20] The incident was described as a “disgraceful act of insubordination.”[20]

And where is Billy now, you ask? Why, retired to the zoo, of course. But that didn’t mean he didn’t go out in style

Billy retired due to his age.[1] Soldiers from the battalion lined the route from his pen to the trailer as he left the camp for the last time, in ceremonial dress that included a silver headdress which was a gift from the queen in 1955.
