Avis sur le produitHow to Train Your Dragon (DVD, 2010)

Great Family Film!

Hiccup is the village outcast. But in his eyes, he won't be for long. Hiccup has a plan. All he has to do is use one of the creative contraptions he invents to slay one of the dragons who constantly terrorize his village. But Hiccup's aiming big. He's going after the Nightfury--the most dangerous of all dragons. With dreams of rising far above his village loser status, he manages to wound one--only to slowly discover that dragons aren't what the village has been taught they were. Now it's up to Hiccup and his new found friend to save the village from something far worse than a dragon attack, but rather from self-destruction as a result of their own ignorance.

How To Train You Dragon is a wonderful, humorous story of tolerance and bravery and from the opening line to the clever, similar-sounding closing line, my family and I were hooked and adored it. I am very happy to finally own it.Lire l'avis complet...

A Heart warming movie

Watch a heart warming story of a Viking boy. Who changes the whole attitude of a Viking village. Where they kill dragons out of sure hatred towards the magnificent beasts. He shows everyone that they are not all monsters. But they are just misunderstood, just like him. This movie shows kids, that conformity is not all that good. At least always. That being different can have it's advantage. GET IT, LET YOUR CHILDREN SEE IT. AND MOST OF ALL LEARN!!!!!Lire l'avis complet...

Have trouble relating to your manly-man dad? Kind of a loner or an outcast? Have you always wanted to prove yourself? What about always wanting the most epic dragon? This movie is for you!

I also recommend the VERY different but incredible book series, How to Train Your Dragon, by Cressida Cowell.Lire l'avis complet...

A masterpiece in a year full of them.

It's been a great year for wonderfully creative and beautifully made and acted movies from Inception to Scott Pilgrim, we've been blessed with many genre bending films in mainstream movies this year, however, How to Train Your Dragon should be placed near the top of the heap of great movies that have come to pass in 2010.

No it's not a genre bending mashup of si-fi and thriller like Inception or Horror-and slap-stick comedy like Splice, but it is one of the most heartfelt movies to come along in many years. You all know the story, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) the village screwup in a viking village is a continuous thorn in the side of his father Stoic (Gerard Butler), who of course is the clan leader and the perfect example of what a viking should be, whereas Hiccup is his sickly polar opposite. The problem that both of these men face is that Dragons invade and steal their crops and live stock on a nightly basis and it's happened for generations, as long as the Vikings have been there, the dragons have been there.

I know it's a very simple premise, but what really works here is the acting, all the characters are cast perfectly and they all hungrily and feverously play their roles to perfection, especially America Ferrera, whom gracefully and literally becomes Hiccups love interest Astrid.

Ferrera is one-uped, however, by none other than Toothless, the Night Fury Dragon who is captured by Hiccup. Toothless is quite literally the most lovable onscreen pet ever, once be becomes comfortable with Hiccup he becomes much like a cat, and behaves like your everyday domestic pet, and that entails the arch of the movie, it is truly a marvel to watch. Not to mention the best use of 3D in a film all year and that includes Avatar.

If it weren't for Toy Story 3 this movie would top my list of best movies from 2010, I recommend this movie to absolutely everybody, because thats was the intended audience for this film and it succeeds and surpasses those very high standards with "Flying" colors.Lire l'avis complet...

Good Bargain and Very Entertaining!

I am always at a loss what to get the grand kids! My 10 year old grandson loved this set
and kept him busy for awhile. I purchased these before these movies became available
on cable and they came in handy on those rainy days!Lire l'avis complet...

Delightful & Fun - A Fire-Breathing 5 stars!

A Fire-breathing 5 out of 5 stars for this wonder of a film. A winning mixture of adventure, slapstick comedy, and friendship, How to Train Your Dragon rivals Kung Fu Panda as the most engaging and satisfying film DreamWorks Animation has produced. Hiccup (voice by Jay Baruchel) is a failure as a Viking: skinny, inquisitive, and inventive, he asks questions and tries out unsuccessful contraptions when he's supposed to be fighting the dragons that attack his village. His father, chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), has pretty much given up on his teenage son and apprenticed him to blacksmith Gobber (Craig Ferguson). Worse, Hiccup knows the village loser hasn't a chance of impressing Astrid (America Ferrera), the girl of his dreams and a formidable dragon fighter in her own right. When one of Hiccup's inventions actually works, he hasn't the heart to kill the young dragon he's brought down. He names it Toothless and befriends it, although he's been taught to fear and loathe dragons. Many DreamWorks films get laughs from sitcom one-liners and topical pop culture references; as the humor in Dragon comes from the characters' personalities, it feels less timely and more timeless. Toothless chases the spot of sunlight reflected off Hiccup's hammer like a giant cat with a laser pointer; Hiccup uses his newly found knowledge (and an icky smoked eel) to defeat two small dragons--and impress the other kids. How to Train Your Dragon will be just as enjoyable 10 or 20 years from now as it is today. Delightful & fun for ALL AGES!Lire l'avis complet...

Great Kids Movie

From Dreamworks entertainment comes this animated feature film about a boy who is not like the other kids and becomes friends with a dragon while all the other kids are learning to kill dragons.
r>The movie is just long enough to keep your attention through the entire film. There is not much violence and what there is, is quite toned down as to actually be funny at times.

This is a great movie that will teach kids of all ages that there are alternatives to violence being the only answer to life's problems.

Actors and their voice characters are: Jay Baruchel, Hiccup; Gerard Butler, Stoick; Craig Ferguson, Gobber; America Ferrera, Astrid; Jonah Hill, Snotlout; Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Fishlegs; T.J. Miller, Tuffnut; Kristen Wiig, Ruffnut; Robin Atkin Downes, Ack; Philip McGrade, Starkard; Kieron Elliott, Hoark the Haggard; Ashley Jensen, Phlegma the Fierce;

The movie should be enjoyed by anyone who watches it, especially if they can watch it with their kids.

Highly recommended children's movie.Lire l'avis complet...
