Title: How To Train Your Dragon (2010)Starring: Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson
Directed By: Dean DeBlois & Chris Sanders
Dreamworks' How To Train Your Dragon is a wonderful example of modern animation done right. Since the first Toy Story, animators have tried time and time again to duplicate the heart and imagination that Pixar seems to keep in a bottle. While the majority of the CG films that have come out since then are entertaining and sometimes have some heart to them, they don't usually feel as "magical" as a Pixar film. This is the exception to the rule.
The characters are all fleshed out and exceptionally cast. The animation is superb. The 3D is implemented smartly and rivals that of any other big-budget 3D blockbuster. My only complaints are minor little story issues, and easily overlooked. All-in-all, this is about as close to a "perfect" family film you could ask for.
See this movie now. Don't wait for DVD or Blu-Ray. See it in IMAX while you still can. Highly recommended.
Score: 8.5/10
