How To Train Your Dragon
My family and I were dying to see this one. Everyone we knew that had gone to see it had loved it, and with Pixar’s track record, who wouldn’t trust this animation powerhouse with a film that contained dragons and Vikings? I mean really?
This was stars such voices as Jay Barchuel, Craig Ferguson, and of course our beloved, can-do-no-wrong Gerard Butler. It stars main character Hiccup, the town loser and nerd, who wants to fight dragons, but lacks the skill, courage, and basic muscle to do it. He also is son of the most feared and respected dragon fighter in the village, voiced by Gerard Butler. (Which, if you’re wondering, how all the Vikings ended up with Scottish accents) Hiccup is a wonderful inventor though, and uses his inventions to snare the most dangerous of all the breeds of dragons, the night fury. Together they learn about each other, and realize there are more to each other than they had been taught.
They teach each other about camaraderie and acceptance, and how important is to be yourself, despite of what everyone thinks of you, and by the end, you are so proud of Hiccup, you almost want to smack Hiccups dad for everything he puts him through to force him to be accepted by the village. SO worth the ticket. Get there. NOW.
