Vikings, dragons and a girl goes from zero to hero.

March 26, 2010 – Adapted from the book by Cressida Cowell writer Will Davies and directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, How to Train Your Dragon is Hippo (voice of Jay Baruchel), a Viking teenager living in a desert island where fighting dragons is what separates the men from the boys. And the skinny, good for nothing and the son of the Vikings boss, Stoic the Vast (Gerard Butler), Hiccups is definitely still a child. But now reached the age at which faces the rite of passage to kill a dragon. The problem is that hiccups do not have the ability to both the nerves and physical strength to do so.

As citizens less fortunate and more prone to accidents, the village, Hiccup has no real friends except as blacksmith's best Bocón (Craig Ferguson), who also serves as an instructor of the dragon. Hippo finds himself in a bind when training starts Dragon with other young people of his tribe – Astrid (America Ferrera), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), Patan (Jonah Hill), and twins Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) and Tuffnut (TJ Miller) – as he secretly befriends and cares for a wounded dragon names of teeth.

In Viking culture, there is nothing more dangerous or hazardous to fraternize with the enemy – especially when it comes to a dragon. But perhaps discover Hiccups Dragons fear the humans as much as they are afraid. Hiccup grows into a man leave his father wants is to kill a dragon, or will honor his newfound friends with the Tooth Fairy?

DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon is a sweet movie, despite a valiant effort, never really rises to the occasion. Its main drawback is its formula "zero to hero" story, where the outcome is a foregone conclusion from the beginning. Beyond employees often hold of Joseph Campbell "hero's journey" paradigm, also HTTYD retreads some the same ground covered in 1997, Disney animated film Hercules and his direct-to-video prequel Hercules: Zero to Hero, where the character gawky misfit is a principal who, after accidentally causing havoc in his own village, should be trained to reach their true potential. (The Clash of the Titans next new version will also be treated fairly Hercules Disney, but I'll get into that in reviewing next week.)

Technically, it would be nice to see a CG animated film that actually looks different. Each character animation CG today, whether human or animal, has the same body type, facial structures, movements, etc. are studies probably want consumers to feel confused about whether we are seeing a Pixar or DreamWorks film a one (or a knock-off of both), but there was a time when animated films could tell apart. Films were given and those who make them – if it was Disney, Ralph Bakshi, Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros., Rankin Bass – a sense of identity and a distinctive brand image. Now everything is superbly produced, but generic. This film is no different.

But what helps elevate How to Train Your Dragon above the glut other recent animated dishes is its message about tolerance and realize that the enemy can not be as different as you think. I'm sure some film student to read too much into the film and find a post-9/11 War on Terror or metaphor to use as a final thesis. But the film is really trying to send children a positive message (albeit a strong hand, a sermon) on the dangers of fear, prejudice and violence. It's really hard to play a movie child trying to do more than the usual avalanche of jokes fart and musical numbers. HTTYD wish had been a little more original and daring, given its intriguing premise Vikings vs. Dragons.
