How To Train Your Dragon

Hi blog readers!

Just yesterday I saw the movie How To Train Your Dragon. It's an animated movie done in 3D by Dreamworks Entertainment. The movie is about a boy called Hiccup who's the son of the Viking chief Stoick. Stoick, who wishes Hiccup was more of a dragon-hating Viking than the clumsy, sarcastic person that he is instead, puts Hiccup into dragon training class. Meanwhile, Hiccup captures and befriends a wild dragon, who he names Toothless. I really liked the way the background was done. There was lots of detail and it was colourful.

Another thing I really enjoyed about this movie was the design of the dragons. They were simple and the way they were animated was really well done. Below is a picture of the main character's dragon, Toothless. I liked how expressive the animators made him because he couldn't talk so they made him express what he was thinking through the sounds and expressions he made. I recommend this movie for everyone who loves dragons and Vikings.
