What an absolutely amazing movie. I saw this a while ago on the IMDb list and I really had wanted to see it when it came out because I had heard a lot of good things about it. I finally watched it and instantly fell in love.
It's insanely witty, a wonderful story about friendship and first love and Toothless is adorable for a dragon. I personally love Sottish accents so having Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson in a full length movie just made it that much better for me!
The story follows the "outcast" son of the village leader and how much he wants to prove himself worthy. He finds his way to bring a resolution to the dragon problem of the village but in a way that isn't the norm. The plot is of course one we've seen, but hey, what ain't broke, don't fix. It's got a loveable cast (even if they are animated) and we see the bonds of father and son strengthen, the hardship of a first love returning the sentiment and some silliness.
I watched this film again later and everything was just even better. I picked up a few one liners by the kids in the dragon training and focused on some of the relationships a bit more after knowing the plot. It's a great film for kids since it does teach you that even if you are "different" you can still achieve, you can build great friendships in the most unusual places and if you believe in something enough you can accomplish it and have it work out in the end. Adults can love it too because who wouldn't want a dragon as cute as Toothless? :)
