How to Train Your Dragon

This movie is about a young boy growing up in a Viking village. Dragons are often pillaging the village. Hiccup is the boy’s name. His father is the leader of the village, and knows he is different and not meant to be a warrior but an inventor.  Hiccup wants to be a Viking warrior, until he captures the most dangerous dragon. He realizes he can kill the dragon, he has too much heart. He released the dragon, but it turned on Hiccup, and then flies away. Hiccup finds that the dragon is injured and wants to help him. He names the dragon Toothless, but he has retractable teeth. He becomes best friends with the Toothless, and creates a fake wing for him. Teaches him to use it, and rides Toothless. While training Toothless, Hiccup is going through his own dragon killing training. Hiccup’s father tries to kill the dragon, and you will have to watch to find what happens next.
There aren’t any inappropriate references that I noticed. So I would say it’s appropriate for most children. It had a really good moral to the story as well. This whole time the Vikings thought that Dragons were bad, but in reality they weren’t.  They just needed to open up more. It deserves an A-: because it's cute, shows that friendship has no boundaries, and Hiccup is funny to watch because he is so dorky.

  7. I watched this over Christmas with my niece and nephew. I thought what happened to Hiccup at the end was really interesting, but you didn't mention the monster Queen Dragon!
