How To Train Your Dragon (2010) 7/10

Starring : Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Director : Dean DeBlois & Chris Sanders
Running Time : 87 mins

A clumsy young Viking named Hiccup (Baruchel) would like nothing better than to help his village fight off the invading dragons that are constantly attacking them, but his father, Stoik The Vast (Butler), won't allow him as he thinks he isn't up to the task. But when Hiccup is finally faced with a dragon he becomes friends with it, names it Toothless, and realises that the Vikings and the Dragons have been acting upon a complete misunderstanding of how each species works.

This was a nice story with an important message for kids, but it wasn't Dreamworks finest animated feature to date. The characters were fun and the flight sequences looked great, but there wasn't enough of a story to keep this 100% engaging from start to finish.

I took my nephew to see this and loved it. Didn't care for the 3D aspect because there's no difference. But my nephew's laughter was worth it.
