How to Train Your Dragon

Somehow this one eluded me when it first came out (2010) - I have no memory of even seeing a trailer for it. And to my surprise, it somehow sneaked (snuck?) its way into our house in DVD form, again without my knowledge.

So, I was delighted to 'find' it this past holiday season. I liked the story about the coming-of-age young man who is supposed to slay a dragon and instead... well, you guessed it.

I liked the voices of Jay Baruchel (whom I liked in The Sorceror's Apprentice and also in the not-my-usual-style She's Out of Your League) and America Ferrara (The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants - both), and recognized Gerald Butler (P.S. I Love You) also.

The movie is fast paced without any noticeable dragging spots. It is funny while also being thoughtful. I liked it very much and will take it off the shelf again. (Now, if I could only find the case it came in...)
