Long ago up North on the Island of Berk, the young Viking, Hiccup, wants to join his town's fight against the dragons that continually raid their town. However, his macho father and village leader, Stoik the Vast, will not allow his small, clumsy, but inventive son to do so. Regardless, Hiccup ventures out into battle and downs a mysterious Night Fury dragon with his invention, but can't bring himself to kill it. Instead, Hiccup and the dragon, whom he dubs Toothless, begin a friendship that would open up both their worlds as the observant boy learns that his people have misjudged the species. But even as the two each take flight in their own way, they find that they must fight the destructive ignorance plaguing their world. Written by

This has to be one of the best films I've seen with my family.
The characters came to life and was instantly hooked.
I've young children and they hardly flinched throughout. The draw to the screen was virtually magnetic.
A definite must see for all the family, and the 3d version bought it to life, totally!!
The story was well written, even though I must admit the start was a bit slow, but all in all well done dream-works. You've another winner on your hands here.
p.s. can't stop talking about it, and its been a week since I've seen it- I can see Oscars in the not too distant future.
