I really enjoyed How to Train Your Dragon when I first saw it back in January and I have been calling it one of the best movies of the year. Thus, I wanted to watch again to make sure this film I saw almost a year ago was truly deserving of top honors in my mind. In short, it was.
How to Train Your Dragon is breathtakingly beautiful to watch and delivers great comedic lines. The relationship formed between the two main characters is strong, loyal, and loving. It is real true love between them as they embrace each other in the face of fear and death and set an example that others become willing to follow. The film contains deep themes of feeling like an outsider, finding one's place in society, seeing people for who they really are, sacrifice for another, and benefits of abandoning fear.
I love that an animated film is capable of this and this is when it should be praised.
The fyc posters that Dreamworks launched are great. The above poster is perfect in my opinion and really displays the heart of the film: two who turn away from fear to believe in the good of the other despite what they have believed their entire lives.
