As endearing as it gets

Rating: 8/10 (11 January 2015)

It is a damn shame DreamWorks Animation had to be the one to step up and fill the Viking movie void. C'mon, studios.
That said, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON is one hell of a movie and worth any wait involved. And it's not just Vikings, but also adventure movie . . . everybody learns something here, but they keep things light. It's loaded with heart, memorable characters and beautiful animation (I'm sure the flying scenes were pretty cool in 3D). The sentiment's genuine, the humor razor sharp; it's got an impressive cast, a heartwarming story and It's just a lot of fun.
It's not every day you find a modern animated movie so well-packaged.
8/10
