Bought it for a friend's birthday since he loved the film so much. He really enjoys the book and hopes to get the rest in the series.
I’ve been fairly rude about the world-conquering animations of DreamWorks in the past. “From the makers of Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda” tends to be a virtual guarantee of slick, smirking entertainment — wise-cracking creatures embarking on a hip quest for Happy Meals, essentially. But there comes a time when words, hats and humble pie need to be eaten, because How to Train Your Dragon, based on Cressida Cowell’s children’s book, is DreamWorks’ most idiosyncratic and genuinely charming film in years. This Viking romp, wonderfully set on something called the Island of Berk, is about a misfit teen called Hiccup, voiced with meek exasperation by Jay Baruchel. A downtrodden blacksmith’s apprentice, he feels far too wimpy to earn his stripes in the hard-living, dragon-slaying environment he’s grown up in. Everyone except him, like his father Stoick the Vast (an unusually welcome Gerard Butler), is a man-giant with a forest for a beard and a thick Scottish accent. Whereas Hiccup is a spindly loser who sounds nasal and Jewish, and can’t do much other than cower during the frequent dragon raids on their village.Read full review
