When I stepped into the movie theater, Coke Icee in hand, I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much. A cute, cheesy little kids' movie. Boy, was I wrong.
HTTYD was, to begin with, was aesthetically gorgeous. The animation was spectacular; I can't even describe how detailed everything was. The artists left no stone unturned- it was clear that they spent as much time creating the sunsets as they did on the dragons themselves. I was completely blown away. I'm not really a fan of 3D movies, but I think this one would be really awesome, especially with all the flying scenes.
The storyline was SO. ADORABLE. First of all, Vikings? And not just any Vikings: dragon-slaying Vikings! It was original and had a sense of humor. I just completely fell in love with it. And there was a kick-butt girl, Astrid, who I just adored. Girl power!! I was so excited to learn that this was also a book. I've gotta get it now!!
So, if you're looking for something funny and sweet and obviously a labor of love, I'd go get your tickets now! This is a must-see. :D

I'd better invite my friends then! I thought it looked good but it seemed too much like a children's movie... oh, and you know the girl who voices Astrid is none other than America Ferrera?? :D
This movie was wonderful! I didn't really want to see it, but I took my niece and nephew and I ended up loving it.
Great review! I can't wait to see it!

I started the book in 3rd grade and didn't like it then, but I will totally go see the movie now-thanks!!! ;0)
