            The movie How to Train Your Dragon was a very cute and entertaining tale.  We went into the movie expecting to see a childish production.  When we sat down in our seats, we were uninterested and already ready to leave, and when the movie started, we were still not willing to engage in the movie.  After the first fire breathing dragon appeared, ferocious in its demeanor, the movie got slightly more interesting.  As more of the dragons appeared I became more and more interested in watching them fly about destroying the village.  The effects were great, and the movie theater boomed with the sound of destruction.  The story begins when a Viking named Hiccup captures Night Fury, a dragon.  At this point it is no longer a movie about destruction; it is now about the unexpected friendship between the dragon Toothless and the scrawny Viking Hiccup.  The way the dragon caringly interacts with Hiccup made us want a sweet dragon of our own.  Another fun part of the movie is Hiccup’s love interest, Astrid, who is a very strong warrior.  This is a very touching movie, and we really enjoyed it.
