REVIEW: Hiccup is the awkward and gawky son of a great
Viking and the chieftain of their village, Stoick the Vast, and Hiccup wants
nothing more than to make his father proud. Nothing would please his father
more than for Hiccup to slay a dragon and become a brave Viking, so one night
when a dragon is terrorizing the village, Hiccup sets out to catch it with a
catapult he built. What more, he thinks it may be a rare Night Fury – a dragon
none have seen. Hiccup did manage to hit the dragon, is overcome with remorse
when he finds the dragon injured and unable to fly. Hiccup helps the dragon,
and learns lessons greater than how to be a great warrior.
OPINION: The
movie is based on a series of books by Cressida Cowell which I have never read,
but even still I absolutely loved this movie. Toothless is adorable and the
message the movie aims to teach is a valuable one.
IDEAS: Tweens and
Teens love free snacks, so what better than to have a movie event playing How to Train Your Dragon with popcorn
and candy.
