Another great animated film that wasn’t pretentious and didn't try to fool me into believing that it had a deeper meaning (no, I'm not talking about Anomalisa). It did make me laugh and reminded me that we need to help each other, even between species. Both the animation and the story were great. The older I get, the more enjoy a good animated film.

I am usually repelled by cute animation films with kids and supernatural animals in the main roles, but this one was great. The story has no surprises, but the animation is captivating and the dialogues are like out of a good sitcom. I laughed more often than with most comedies. I’m giving it 9/10 and wonder what happened with Wall-E, Up and Ratatouille…

This is an animated movie that simply somehow engraves itself into your memory. Lately, I have the feeling that there are quite a few high-quality animated films being made. "How to Train Your Dragon" completely astonishes with some scenes, both in terms of the plot and visually. It's also nice that the second installment is definitely worth watching as well.

Even though I was sitting in that movie theatre surrounded by little kids (or their parents), I enjoyed it and didn't find it weird at all that the average age was around 12 because this film is for everyone and you just need to relax a bit and enjoy it. The big plus is that it didn't stop entertaining me even when I had a headache, and you know how it is with attention when something hurts... :-) Funny, the kawai dragon (which has the intelligence, the behavior of a cat and a dog and looks like a frog) and dispensed with the sappy speeches in honor for friendship, understanding, and I don't know what all. Just no pathos and that, when it's not in a US movie, is just awesome... X-D 4+ for sure and without hesitation.

A little environmental ideology doesn't hurt, especially in this (un)fairy tale about finding harmony between the elements. It's very sweet, visually dizzying and has beautiful sound. From the beginning, I didn't like the form of the characters, but the pleasant surprise was that the script and everything else is so well done and tolerably naïve that there was no time for any animosity. For a 2010 production, How to Train Your Dragon is going to very high places.
