This family film is the personification of adorable, with
big eyed dragons, a skinny Viking named Hiccup - whom unintentionally causes havoc - and beautiful Dreamworks
animation. Friendship for poor Hiccup, whose very build marginalises him from
his class mates, is no commodity but during an attack on his home village from
the dragon populace he discovers it in the most unlikely of places. The Night
Fury, his people’s most dreaded enemy, is found by our protagonist injured in
the forest. Desperate to prove himself, Hiccup attempts to kill the beast only
he can’t. Instead he trains the dragon, nicknamed Toothless, and crafts a wing
to help him fly. They soar the skies together and Toothless teaches Hiccup that
everything collected on the ferocity of dragons is false. Back in the village
of Berk Hiccup becomes a celebrity as he uses his knowledge of the reptilians
to subdue them in his dragon-hunting training. However, Hiccup soon must choose
which side he takes and whether remaining loyal to his family is worth
sacrificing his friend. Yet there’s something more dangerous than the conflict
between Berk’s inhabitants and the 'pests' which plague it, and only Hiccup can
unite the two in order to save the day.
I really enjoyed this film and felt it had an admirable
message, one that shows the disabled, Hiccup whose leg had to be amputated in
the battles, positively.
