How to Train Your Dragon (2010)
Draggin' Dragon
By Jeffrey M. Anderson Like most computer-animated movies, this one moves very nicely with some gorgeous flying footage and a real emphasis on height, speed, air, and maneuvering. It has some fun character designs, a good message, and some fairly typical jokes, and then last of all is the characters and the story. Jay Baruchel voices the hero, Hiccup, the scrawny son of a mighty Viking. For generations, this village has battled and slain dragons, but Hiccup is the first to actually capture and tame one. This leads to all kinds of trouble as he upsets generations of tradition and history. Comic actors like Kristen Wiig, Craig Ferguson, and Jonah Hill are on hand to voice the various quirky, funny sidekicks. I watched this animated feature on the small screen, and so its effect was most likely diminished, but it's really not much more than average.
