A hapless young viking, Hiccup, aspires to kill dragons and to become accepted into the society. But after finding the Night Fury he brought down and releasing him, he learns that there are much more to these creatures than they once thought.
The storyline itself is really good but I guess it's hard to go wrong when you're following a book right? The whole message was very Avatar-like in a good way. What separated this movie from other animated films for me was just the quality of the animation itself. Each person moved the way he was supposed to and reacted in the right way. It was just really well thought out. Toothless' almost feline appearance really separated him from the rest of the dragons with his sleekness and strength. It was amazing how his whole appearance changed depending on whether his pupils were slits or dilated.
Although not as cute or cuddly as the creatures in other animated films, these dragons managed to become as, if not more, loveable.
Jay Baruchel did an amazing job with Hiccups voice as did Gerard Butler with Stoick's.
I definitely recommend this movie to anyone. It's not only a kids movie and I've seen it 2ce, neither time in 3-D, so if you do get that opportunity, it'll probably be even better!
