How to Train Your Dragon

DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie How to Train Your Dragon in March of this year.  Directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois transformed Cressida Cowell’s book into a feature film.  The movie focuses on the life of Hiccup, a young Viking, whose father is the leader of the village and the top dragon slayer in the land.  In order to be recognized, Hiccup attempts to slay a dragon of his own.  His plan does not go as planned and the teenage warrior’s life becomes emotionally entangled with the life of his dragon foe.  The DVD and Blu-Ray versions of the film are currently available in stores.  A special feature in some of the DVDs is the short film Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon.
