Wish I had one
- How to Train Your Dragon review by CS
This film makes me want to go out and get my very own dragon. Although I'm all grown up now, i still like to live like a kid now and then. This is a great family fun film, just very likeable, lovable characters and I'm sure that everyone will have their favourite. What can I say that won't give the plot away? Err, Vikings, Cute and not so cute Dragons, obligatory but not nauseating love interest, geeky hero and lots of action. This is a well made and very high quality piece of animation. Good Subtitles for those with hearing loss. All in a fun film that if you like cartoons with amore grown up edge to them, I can highly recommend.

Can’t wait to get the sequel

Much better than I was expecting, great animation and characterisation and the 3D is breathtaking. Like MH I would definitely watch it again, one to buy and keep I think.

To me, the best animated film I've ever seen. The perfect film in every way
- How to Train Your Dragon review by TB
This film is perfection. It takes a well-worn story (social outcast finds another outcast and they bond before showing everyone how just because you're different, doesn't mean you aren't also deserving of the same respect and love,) and takes it in the most unexpected and wonderful places.
The animation is flawless. You feel like you are actually flying up in the clouds with Hiccup and Toothless, whilst the magnificent score acts as your guide.
The voice acting is also great. There isn't a better voice for Hiccup than Jay Baruchel. It just works in every way, as does the rest of the cast. Special mention must go to Gerard Butler & Craig Ferguson, really using their Scottish accents to magnificent effect.
And the script is phenomenal. Every character feels real, like a genuine person you would meet. And the life lessons & precious moments aren't forced. Unlike today where there has to be an almost hammerblow attitude to things, it is so light but yet so powerful.
I love this film. It is everything you would ever possibly want from a movie, along with magnificent production values. Movie magic
