I went to the 3-D version of How to Train Your Dragon and found once again that the animators are excelling themselves, particularly when it comes to 3-D animation. I cannot imagine how startling it must be to see such a movie for the first time, and it obviously can have a profound effect.

We took one of our assistant’s daughter’s friends to the movies recently, and she had never been to a movie in her life, and the first movie she went to was Avatar in 3-D! She is going to find everything else for a few years a little bit of a let-down if that was her very first movie! I am told that she still has her 3-D glasses at home, where she proudly displays them to all of her friends and tells them about her first trip to the movies – watching Avatar in 3-D.

In any event, back to How To Train A Dragon – it is well suited to children and the scriptwriters are always pretty clever in that they will certainly make a theme and a story that does not bore adults either and so it is a great movie for parents to go and see with their children.
