Script, animation, music and heart make for a fantastic sequel

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2014)

When I watched the first How to Train Your Dragon, it was a pleasant surprise that blew me away. The expectations were high this time around, and the movie did not disappoint. The animation is top notch, with scenes that transport you to flying amongst the clouds. The excellent soundtrack is also back, with "Where No One Goes" by Jonsi being a standout track. Fortunately it is used many times in the film. There are some emotional punches that I won't spoil. Also, I like how the film further uses characters that have been maimed. Something that you was a surprise Hiccup's peg leg in the first movie, and continues in this one. I definitely will be looking to the next part of this franchise that appeals to all age ranges.
