22. Sample Article Movie Review How to Train Your Dragon Directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois have created a tremendous 3-D experience, setting the bar for animated 3-D much like “Avatar” set it for live-action. The action is thrilling stuff, especially the flying scenes between Hiccup and Toothless, which soar with a joyful vitality and pulse-pounding danger. And John Powell’s perfectly matched musical score only magnifies the great thrills you’ll get from them. What makes it even better is a touching story of friendship and following in the footsteps of one’s father. The animation looks great, from the large, bushy-haired Vikings to the comically goofy looking dragons. The voice cast is also well-matched. Baruchel has a wheezy comic charm, Craig Ferguson gets the best lines as the village blacksmith, and who better to voice a Viking than Gerard Butler. “Dragon” is as heartfelt as it is impressive to look at, a family film perfect for all ages.
