For me, this is the first animated film that fully utilized 3D in all it's glory. Based on the children's book by Cressida Cowell, How to Train your Dragon carries the universal theme of a son trying to prove himself to his father. Set in the world of Vikings, Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel of Tropic Thunder, Knocked Up and recently She's Out of my League) is the son of the village cheiftain Stoic (voiced by Gerard Butler) who always leads his people when the village is constantly attacked by dragons.
Unlike the people in the village, Hiccup is smaller and therefore looked down upon. Therefore he is also not expected to fight the dragons. But an accidental encounter with the mysterious Night Fury dragon changes everything.
This film is fun, entertaining and in the end surprisingly touching. I had low expectations watching this film but in the end, I believe like most people, were pleasantly surprised. See it in 3D. It's worth it.
