"How to Train Your Dragon" is the riotous story of Hiccup's quest to hunt down the fiercest dragon, bring it into submission, and-hopefully-pass his initiation. Instead, he ends up with the smallest, most ornery dragon - it's even toothless! Thus begins the hijinx of the world's most lovable, unlikely hero and a most reluctant "beast."
A surprisingly, sweeping and lush animated film of a boy and his pet dragon, especially coming from Dreamworks who are now learning a thing or two from Pixar. Even though I would complain about Jay Barucehl's annoying nasel voice and the not-so-subtle scene translation from humorous to sweeping epic, I still had fun with the imaginative designs on characters and dragons, the great orchestral score, good voice performance (san Jay Baruchel) and the thoughtful and well-written story. And its kinda funny that all the Viking kids sound very teen American while the adults sound stone-cold Scottish. Viking girls really do drop their balls.
4 out of 5 starsP.S - Toy Story 3 is still better
