A new title to the collection

Rating: 7/10 (2 April 2010)

I went to see this movie (In 3D) with my family which consists of my parents me and my two younger siblings. And if I should boil the review down to one word I would choose this word: Success! If you - like me - worship "Madagascar" and "Shrek" this movie is a must.
But... "How to Train Your Dragon" is unfortunately too focused on the 3D-effects, so some of the other elements of the movie is not as well- made as they could've been. But, I guess it's unavoidable as these effects are so "new" (of course not new, but you know what I mean). The creators are so excited about this new level of storytelling that they focus too much on this part and leave others behind.
The story is classic, and not as funny as some of Dreamworks previous movies. It works fine, but it still pulls down my vote since it only functions as a frame instead of the center of the movie. But having said that I need to tell you: "How to Train Your Dragon" will still be worth watching.
My youngest sibling doesn't understand English, so I won't be able to tell you about the Voice-acting for the original language, but if any Danes wanna know, the Danish-dubbed voices works good (Compared to other dubbed movies). The main character's voice is a bit weird, but won't disturb you.
The animations are done in the classic Dreamworks-style. It works nicely, since the caricature-like faces works good to express feelings. Summed up this movie is a must for any sane family. If you're going to watch it remember to enjoy the little bits, cause that is what's in focus.
