to Rate: to Train Your Dragon is a wonderful film, not only for children. This film is worth (in 2D) really, because rare form of action, characters, style and effects such a harmonious whole, as in this strip. The message is right and leaves a feeling of satisfaction. Again, I can only stress how rare something like a positive message for children's films has become and how well one is doing when you spot them first with a work, it has everything a little to be desired in this area.
I just can these fun, creative and simply beautiful film put your heart - whether child or adult. Train Your Dragon is made easy is really worth to be looked at.
And especially anyone who knows cats, and loves, will find themselves in the dragon one or the other Samtpfoteneigentschaft;)
