Right behind his romantic
comedy, “She’s out of My
League”, Jay Baruchel voices a
Viking teenager named “Hiccup”
in the new 3D animated movie
“ How to Train Your Dragon”. On
the island of Berk, fighting
dragons is a way of life for the
Vikings. Hiccup ’s father and
leader of the tribe, Stoick the
Vast (Gerard Butler) wants very
much for his son to follow in his
footsteps and become a great
Viking warrior and help fight the
dragons that attack the village
for its livestock. When Hiccup
joins the dragon training course,
he believes it will give him a
chance to show that he has what
it takes to fight dragons.
One night the village is attacked
and Hiccup miraculously shoots
one of the rarest and most
unknown dragons called a night
fury. No one believes him, so he
sets out to find the injured
dragon so that he can kill it and
prove to everyone that he was
not lying. When he does come
face to face with the beast, he
discovers that he doesn ’t have
the heart to kill it. He soon
befriends the dragon, and names
it “Toothless”. After a short time
he is able to train the dragon and
discovers that they are not the
terrible menaces that they are
believed to be. Now he must
convince his father and the rest
of the tribe of what he has
learned about dragons, before
they find the nest of the dragons
and stage an all out attack on
them.
Now just like all animated movies
that I have reviewed, my
daughters accompanied me to
see this film. They both enjoyed
it very much, and were very
impressed with the 3
dimensional effects. I enjoyed
this movie as well. It was a great
story that taught that you can ’t
always judge something you
don ’t understand. It also taught
about compassion, loyalty, and
friendship. The visuals were
amazing, as they incorporated
many different species of
dragons into the story, each with
its own look and color scheme.
The movie was funny and
adventurous and kept me
entertained throughout. The
actors and actresses who voiced
the characters in the movie did a
superb job, and it was good that
they didn’t do anything over the
top, like giving the dragons
voices. The main dragon,
Toothless expressed all of his
feelings with facial expressions
and that gave the character
warmth and charm that wouldn’t
have been there if he was
talking. Although this movie was
about Vikings fighting dragons,
there wasn ’t a time when I
thought that it was too brutal or
harsh for children. All in all it was
an outstanding movie, well
worth the price of admission. I
gave this movie 3 dragons out
of 4. Kids will be happy you took
them to see this movie, and
adults will enjoy it also. The film
is rated PG for sequences of
intense action and some scary
images, and brief mild language.
It runs 1hour and 30mins. It was
written by William Davies,
Christopher Sanders, Dean
DeBlois, Peter Tolan, and Cressida
Cowell. It was directed by
Christopher Sanders and Dean
DeBlois. It was produced by Mad
Hatter Entertainment. It was
distributed by Paramount
Pictures.
When training a dragon, always
wear flame resistant clothing.

Funny way of typing.

The movie has received some positive reviews. I also heard that the 3D animated film had a budget of $165 million.
_{These 3D animated films seem to be very expensive to make.}

Yes but at the end its always worth it cos they rake in much more cash than was used in producing the film.
I think the film ranked 1st in The US box office this week.
