Sweet, fun movie

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2016)

Sweet, fun movie.
A viking boy, Hiccup, is hardly your average viking. Weak, and quite useless at fighting, he is often the brunt of jokes in his village. Unfortunately, his father is the chief of the village, and that just makes things worse. Then he befriends a massive dragon. Dragons are the sworn enemies of his village...
Good fun with a sweet, feel-good message. Didn't always look that way: in the beginning it seemed like your average animated action movie. However, from a point (that point being where he meets the dragon), things kick up a gear. The movie then becomes a story about a boy and his dragon friend / pet, and this adds a another dimension to the plot.
Good animation and decent voice work, though not sure why all the adults had to be Scottish...
