How to Train Your Dragon

Family, Animated
4 stars
Loved it. A boy (Jay Baruchel; She’s Out of My League) befriends a dragon, despite the fact that dragons regularly ransack and plunder his Viking village. Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson voice a couple of the beefier Vikings. We loved all the different, imaginative dragons (especially the black one which resembles our black pug quite a bit), fun adventures, and of course the boy who acquired a better appreciation and respect for the dragons than his fellow villagers – he was sort of a “dragon whisperer”. Kids of all ages (and adults too) will root for the underdogs in this wonderful tale.
