How to Train Your Dragon
(That’s what she said!)
Remember those old fairy tales you used to watch as a kid that made you want to go outside and play? To pretend to be a part of them? To make you feel alive? Its amazing how every so often a movie comes along that can make you feel like that even as an adult. How to Train Your Dragon is exactly that kind of feel good movie that lifts you out of your seat into the unexpected; of course, the flying helps with that, too.
Hiccup is your village runt with something to prove. As the son of lead Viking, Stoick, he dreams of being the hero, getting the girl and of course being the first to kill a Knight Fury. Thankfully, he is also a super brianiac with an amazing heart which leads to the ultimate journey of attempting to unite the Vikings with the oh so misunderstand fire breathers.
After building an unyielding bond over a couple of raw fish heads with the cuddlesome Toothless, Hiccup defies his father and the rest of the town in order to save his friend from certain death. A stereotypical plot with a surprisingly unpredictable finale, Dragons will leave you guessing what will happen next. Plus the flying was really cool. Did I mention the flying yet? One thing about this one if for sure: dragons + Vikings + unlikely heroes = total awesomeness!
