How to Train Your Dragon in a nutshell

Who doesn't love Dreamworks films? I mean there's "Shrek" (awesome), "Madagascar", and "Kung Fu Panda." The newest addition to these characters is Hiccup, a scrawny son of a viking king who constantly has a pest problem on his hands...dragons. Hiccup was never meant to kill a dragon with his bare hands like everyone else. Instead he tries to use his inventions to do the job and one day it works. Hiccup doesn't catch just any old dragon, he catches the fastest, most dangerous kind of dragon called a Night Fury. When Hiccup realizes he can't kill the dragon, he decides to train the dragon and comes to name it Toothless (due to the fact that at first, the dragon seems to have no teeth.) The two embark on an adventure as Hiccup realizes that the dragons are nothing like the vikings make them out to be. This journey includes laughs, thrills, and a dragon so big that, if this wasn't a kids movie, would have killed all the dragons and vikings. Like all Dreamworks films, the animation is stunning. The different kinds of dragons, variety of vikings, and the scenery showed that the people at Dreamworks are moving in the right direction. The script was funny and contained absolutely no cheesy material. The films plot was firm and didn't wonder off into unneeded side stories *cough* Transformers 2 *cough* and the story was enjoyable and original. By the way, for some unknown reason, knowing that the head viking was voiced by Gerard Butler (300) made me enjoy the character more (like when he was laying the beat down on multiple dragons). So, in a nutshell, go see "How to Train Your Dragon." It's just proof the Dreamworks is getting closer and closer to topping Pixar.
