A great entry in the Dreamworks canon, easily takes the top spot!

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2010)

Oh a new Dreamworks movie... I think I'll skip. WHAT! CHRIS SANDERS IS DIRECTING! COUNT ME IN! That was my first reaction when I first introduced myself to How to Train Your Dragon. After the disappointment of Chris getting the boot from Disney after working hard on a film that I was anticipating with bated breath, I needed my Chris Sanders fix. And let me tell you this film did not disappoint me in the least bit, the animation was beautiful, the story was great (not entirely original but that is forgivable) The characters were real and likable, and you just got sucked into this whole new world for the duration of the film. The film pushed CGI to its limits and the 3D worked really well during many of the scenes, especially the flying sequences. I need to talk about the score... One of the best I have heard from ANY movie! So good! This is definitely a new entry in my top ten favourite animated films, and it may be a little closer to the top than I ever anticipated. Excellent Film! I encourage everyone to see it, I really think that this is a film that everyone can get something out of!
