Plot: Hiccup is not much of a Viking. His body is scrawny, his personality is contrary, and his actions are disastrous. Still, he is determined to live up to his father's expectations and kill a dragon. However, when he successfully downs a nightfury, perhaps the most dangerous dragon of all, he suddenly finds himself unable to harm it. Naming the crippled dragon "Toothless," he sets out to train it, while slowly learning the truth of the reptiles' actions. Yet, his lessons seem for naught after he fails to kill a dragon in front of the village. Hiccup and Toothless may never be the pair any Viking would expect, but they may be the duo the village really needs.
Genre: Animation
Reading Level: Rated PG
Similar Titles: Despicable Me, Toy Story 3
Personal Thoughts: I have mixed opinions about the movie. The plot is not especially original and the adults and kids seem locked into impenetrable archetypes. The graphics, particularly in the village and flying scenes, are nice. Also, the designs, particularly of the dragons and armor, show character and creativity. Additionally, the movements of the dragons remain believable. If users want a new story, recommend another title. If they wish to enjoy a movie with good graphics and creative design, offer this animation.
P.S. Dreamworks dragon approves, +5
