Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus Blog: Photos From The Set

‘How To Train Your Dragon’ dazzles and delivers
"How To Train Your Dragon" is, like "Kung-Fu Panda," an exemplary, confident, streamlined piece of entertainment that suggests that when they get it right, Dreamworks Animation can stand toe to toe with Pixar in the realm of computer animation for family audiences. In...

Review: ”How to Train Your Dragon”
Almost everything you knew about dragons is wrong. They don't just breathe fire. They can belch lightning and toxic gas, too. They come in every color and shape imaginable, not just lizard green. They curl up into a ball and fall asleep when you tickle their chins,...
‘How To Train Your Dragon’ Is A Pretty Good Action Yarn

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ is well trained
I had quite a time trying to train my dog when he was a young pup. Finally I gave up and called a dog trainer. Curiously, the trainer spent more time “training†me and my wife than Champ. Go figure. So when it comes to training a dragon (assuming you have one as a...
‘Dragon’ flies high as worthy animated quest

Gerard Butler in “How to Train Your Dragonâ€

How to Train Your Dragon — Film Review
Bottom Line: A lively though disjointed 3D cartoon that never quite entices an audience to invest emotionally in its fantasy world. "How to Train Your Dragon" pits dragons against Vikings with one small child standing between them crying, "Why can't we all just get...
