Starring (voice): Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera
Welcome to the Viking village of Berk. Most villages have mosquito's and houseflies as pests to deal with but the people have Berk have dragons. The dragons burn down the village and steal the sheep's and the villagers desperately try to get rid of them. Hiccup (Baruchel) is the son of the Viking chief Stoik (Butler) and wants to try his hand at killing a dragon. However, Hiccup is too young and doesn't have the physical fitness of a normal Viking and is hence kept away from the line of action. A particularly dangerous dragon known as the Night Fury has never been seen by any living person because it moves too fast and is too dangerous. Out of sheer luck, Hiccup manages to capture the Night Fury and when he tries to kill it, he realises he doesn't have the heart to do so. The Night Fury is injured and cant fly and Hiccup starts nursing him. Slowly the two become the best of friends and Hiccup realises that the dragons need not be killed but can instead by trained. He now has to simply convince this to his father before he goes on a killing spree and kills every one of the dragons. The movie is different and thrilling right from the word go. A fresh and highly entertaining plot is just what the doctor ordered. Most animation movies try to improvise on graphics and make them come as close to reality as possible. Thankfully, the movie doesn't look too realistic and it feels like an animation movie and not a movie that tries to be life-like. Its not just for the young but appeals to people of all ages. A must watch with the entire family.
Thumbs up: Thrilling and entertaining
Thumbs down: Some more humour perhaps?
Rating: 8.4/10
