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.

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 a cartoon that will just burn itself into your memory. Lately, I feel like there are a lot of good animated films being made. How to Train Your Dragon is absolutely stunning in some scenes, both in terms of plot and visuals. It's also nice to know that the second film is definitely worth watching as well.

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.

DreamWorks can claim one of the most incredible and amazing animated films of 2010. Absolutely perfectly crafted animation that commands respect. Amazing and unforgettable soundtrack. The story may be another case of the old cliché, but I was hooked. I must commend the great imagination in the variety of dragons. The best scenes were those where Hiccup was getting to know Toothless. I've always wanted a dog, but after seeing this film I'd happily take a dragon like Toothless. And when he rolled his big eyes... yep the cat from Shrek has some serious competition. So I can only recommend it - it doesn't lack action, wit, adventure and even a hint of romance.
