anthimeriaJust saw "How to Train Your Dragon" for the second time, and it is just as fun on the next go-round as it was on the first!
It's not a complicated movie, but it's fun, well-written and well-executed. There's just nothing bad about this movie. It's a wonderful version of the boy and his dragon story (of which I have read a lot, so I know what I'm talking about!). If you're five, fifteen or fifty, this movie is worth seeing.
HTTYD has a bunch of breathtaking flying scenes, more than enough for me to want my own dragon. Toothless (the dragon) is scary and adorable at turns, Hiccup (the boy) is smart and funny and determined, the art is beautiful, the character/dragon design is quirky and unique, and it doesn't shy away from consequences. Also, the dialogue is awesome.
Now I really want to read the book, but in one of those good news/bad news situations, my library has three copies--that are all checked out. I hope this means kids are reading them!
(PS: on a similar note of good, recent children's movies, I love the soundtrack for "The Princess and The Frog")
