The kids and I went to see How To Train A Dragon 3D yesterday and loved it! My son left the movie and was asking me if we could buy it. My daughter left the movie begging to go to McDonalds to get a happy meal and another dragon toy.
The kids had very different experiences at the movies. The girl who is 3 was very confused at the beginning of the movie during the raid scene. She was under the impression that all dragons are good. I couldn’t see her face but I think she may have even wanted to leave. Towards the end of the movie, she was very excited that you could train a dragon and it would be good. There may have been a point at the beginning where she was even scared. Again, it was hard to tell because it was dark. Her favorite dragon was Toothless because “he is the nice one.”
My son who was six was enthralled by the movie the whole time. I think he was mentally cataloging all of the different types of dragons. His favorite was the two-headed dragon.
For me, I thought it was very entertaining and wouldn’t mind seeing it again. The 3D was just so-so and the story was fun.
