The best animated movie since Wall-E

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2011)

I remembered hearing my cousin stating how much she enjoyed this movie in the Spring-time upon it's release. Feel sorry I missed it's outing in the theater. It is a gem of a production - better than Toy Story 3 or Despicable Me. "How to Train Your Dragon" captures the magic that any good live-action movie has done in the past with animals. It is masterfully put together with a great balance of humor and adventure. The dragon training scenes and friendship alone is worth watching the movie - the other core characters and story are just "icing on the cake". I just hope they leave it alone for sequels. Great movies do not need them.
