Low ratings prompted the network to cancel the Emmy-winning comedy after four seasons. The final episode airs April 14.

While Ferrera is saying farewell on TV, her movie career is blossoming.

Her character, Astrid befriends a misfit named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who teaches her that the fire-breathing creatures are misunderstood. The supporting cast includes Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, aka McLovin from "Superbad."

The dragon film is hitting theaters just two weeks after the debut of "Our Family Wedding," starring Ferrera as a beleaguered bride. The culture clash comedy features Carlos Mencia and Forest Whitaker as squabbling fathers.

We chatted with Ferrera about the lighter side of dragons and Vikings via phone during a press day.

Q. I was wondering if you recorded some sessions with the other cast members. I know a lot of times with animation you're kind of working as individuals.

A. Most of the time, it's you alone in front of a microphone in a booth. I did a couple of sessions by myself and a couple of months into it, I got to do a session with Jonah Hill and Jay Baruchel. Before that, I'd never met the guys. I didn't know what energy they were bringing to the characters so it was nice to have those sessions for reference when I was in the booth by myself.

Q. Interacting with them helped you find your voice as Astrid?

A. Absolutely but ultimately in animation, the people who create the performance are the directors and the animators. Mad Men DVD Seasonare also very good, I hope you like itThey pick and choose what you give them that works for their vision.

Q. What was your reaction when you first saw the whole thing visualized in 3-D?

A. To be honest, I have not seen the finished film. When I saw it, it wasn't in 3-D and there were still some scenes that were essentially stick figure drawings but I was blown away by the scenes that were fully animated. It was cool to hear my voice that I did alone in a little booth, to hear it interacting with all these The Two and a half men DVD is very good.. if you Charmed DVD want to buy one tree hill dvd it is a good prison break dvdcharacters and seeing, "Oh, that's the dragon I was reacting to."

Q. It seemed there was some subtext about natural resources and animals that was like the environmentalist message of "Avatar."

A. Absolutely. I hadn't looked at the environment aspect of it but I definitely saw the thing about the "other," the enemy, thinking you know the facts of this unknown race, thinking your job is to fight and you don't ask why. When this one character, Hiccup defies all of that, he discovers that they're all fightingThe L Word dvd on our website.
Our items are Supernatural DVD very good Lost dvds it is a good choice for you Walt Disney 100 Years Of Magic (164 Discs) for e example the Doctor Who dvds and Criminal Minds dvd for the same thing, which is self preservation and survival.

Q. The dragons are adorable and the Viking era doesn't really look so bad.

A. They did such a wonderful job of making it seem welcoming. They talk about the island of Berk as being a place where you're always fearing for your life. Yet the way it was animated made seem like "Oh, I want to go La Femme Nikita DVDs all are good items Dexter dvd season,welcome you come to our website to have a look.if you are a tv fan.

Q. What did you think of the look of your character in terms of being blonde. Was there ever a conversation about making her a brunette.

A. Astrid is a Nordic Viking.

Q. Not a lot of brunettes.

existed in that space and time.

Q. It would be implausible.

A. The great thing about animation is you don't have typecasting. You find the voice you like and you put it in there. It's not about matching the visual character.

Q. In the production notes it says that Jeffrey Katzenberg was courting you for a number of years to be in a film.

A. That's news to me. The second I got the call, "Do you want to be in a DreamWorks movie?" I said, "Yes, yes and yes."

Q. That was the courtship?

A. I did not play hard to get.

Q. I was wondering about the different genres you're branching into. This new movie was something different. Are you looking to do something next that's completely in the opposite direction?

A. I don't have any set ideas of what I want to do next. To be honest, I could have never foreseen "Betty" coming into my life. I could have never guessed five years ago that I'd spend four years on a television series.

Q. Looking back, there was never any reticence in terms of the title?

A. It was all excitement. I honestly didn't think that I would be doing television and when this character came around, I thought, "This is a wonderful character." Her journey was what made me want to do the show. I could have my own ideas, a blueprint of what the next five years of my career should look like but chances are, it's not going to turn out that way.
