One of the best animated movies of the 2000s

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2014)

Ciaran: How to train your dragon is up in the top 10 animated movies of all time for me. I just love this movie, it takes an over used storyline and paces it into a brilliant film and then mixes it with good actors, experienced directors and perhaps the greatest animation viewed in 3D of all time. From start to finish how to train your dragon shows how tradition changes and the world is ever changing, there are many messages that can be drawn out of the movie such as an environmental statement, one with animals or in the case of the movie- one with dragons. You could praise this movie so much, but what stands out for me is the constant WOW moments i experienced whilst watching this movie, the visuals and the angles just made me feel as if i was riding the dragon or fighting off the dragons, i felt immersed in the world the animators had created, and that is a very large accomplishment. Even though the plot line has been used a million times before the pacing and twist on the plot supplied to us by the directors makes How to Train your Dragon all the more enjoyable. To conclude i really would like to see more of the world of How to train your dragon, i look forward to the new sequel, but i just hope this film isn't ruin but its successor.
