Overview
As the son of a Viking leader on the cusp of manhood, shy Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III faces a rite of passage: he must kill a dragon to prove his warrior mettle. But after downing a feared dragon, he realizes that he no longer wants to destroy it, and instead befriends the beast – which he names Toothless – much to the chagrin of his warrior father.

Viewing Notes
Not many movies can make me feel like a kid again. How To Train Your Dragon did. There are scenes in this movie that are beautiful and even emotional, it’s easy to lose yourself, especially in the flying scenes and the introduction to Toothless the dragon. Also, the score by John Powell is one of my favorites of the year.
While the story is a simple “Hero’s Journey” it’s well executed and brilliant to look at. One of my favorite animated films of 2010.
