Plot:
At the beginning of the story its starts off with this Viking colony being attacked by Dragons. As you find out Hiccup (the main character) wants to become a Viking. The only problem is that he is to weak to fight one. During one of the battles with the Dragons and Vikings Hiccup decides to take a weapon that looks like a cannon. Without no one noticing he shoots it at a Dragon. I will not ruin the ending but i will tell you that the boy goes and looks for the Dragon and finds it still alive. He tries to train it and to prove his colony wrong about the Dragons.
My thoughts:
I saw this movie on April Fools Day and I was very impressed. This movie is probably the best animated film I've seen since Toy Story. The only thing that upset me was that it was nothing like the book. What I think will happen is that they'll make a sequel. I recommend this to every little kid. I guarantee that they will enjoy it. The Movie
shows like friendship and it shows that not all animals and creatures are mean and bad... friendship lasts forever.
