Children will get it right away: A cartoon about Vikings fighting dragons? Take me. Take me. Adults, however, who may think that going to see an animated movie is strictly for kids may have a little trouble surrendering to the idea of going to see How to Train Your Dragon. Well, get over it, because everybody -- young, old and in between – will find something to enjoy in this thoroughly entertaining film about a young Viking who proves his worth to his clan by doing the unexpected and becoming friends with the Viking’s mortal enemies, the dragons. It’s not only filled with action and comedy, but the film has the kind of strong, well developed characters you just don’t find in many movies today. Of course, you wouldn’t expect less from directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders, the creative team who made the classic Disney film, Lilo and Stitch. The two films actually have a lot in common: They share the same spirit of adventure, the same sense of humor and the same understanding that a film needs to be about something (in both cases, the need for family) to be truly worth watching. How to Train Your Dragon just does it all with a lot more action.
