Tom Horgen
What we have here is an exhilarating epic that mixes comedic and touching moments with some of the best action sequences ever created with CGI animation.
Stephanie Zacharek
Toothless has the one precious ingredient that's missing from so many of Hollywood's contemporary animated characters: an air of mystery.
Bruce Diones
Smartly dispensing with the usual hubbub of pop references that dot many of these films, the movie offers touching, quiet moments and imaginative, high-flying beauty. It's fantastically entertaining.
Christine Champ
It's a Harry Potter-meets-Avatar adventure that should delight most children and adults.
James Berardinelli
Technically proficient and featuring a witty, intelligent, surprisingly insightful script, How to Train Your Dragon comes close to the level of Pixar's recent output while easily exceeding the juvenilia Dreamworks has released in the last nine years.
Tom Huddleston
The visuals are striking, the script sharp and well paced and it all wraps up with a breathtaking aerial battle sequence.

This dog can hunt. On the ground. Way-way up in the air. Swimming through clouds breathing fire. Imagine Old Yeller on a hundred pep pills.

Sweet! I love this movie. At first i didnt really like dragins. After i watched this movie i hoped they were gonna make a second one. It is so cute(toothless was the cuties dramgon) and if your thinking about hetting the movie, u need to get it. This movie pulls the whole family together and... i jist lovd this movie and so did my family. I would recommend you get this movie!!! You wont regret it!
I will watch it again, The graphics are quite magnificent and quite unique. I wish there was more movies like this out there but I'm fortunately there is not. I love this story because of the bond between hiccup and toothless. Even though I don't quite know if this movie was made for this theme but I think this movie is saying that even though you might be small you have the power to do anything you desire and the power to accomplish something great. Truly inspiring.
Im test over How to Train Your Dragon is the best movie I've ever seen and I'm so addicted to it So you know perfect for me because im 9 and I don't know I'm kinda like a boy I love boys shows and stuff like that but I'm a girl and the show who movie thing is just perfect for me and I'm using speech so I'll come across wrong I'm sorry people who are grieving eating and then its all my fault reading does women nevermind I'm just too lazy to type and Broadway sometimes I freaked out like everyone, dining room not the best place to be putting my personal information forever on this page anyway I gotta get back to watching Bros yeah that's right I meant to say frozen and I watched it in 3d yeah thats right but I payed for it

OMG I am obsessed with this movie!!! My boyfriend got me a toothless doll that growls. When he gave it to me, I was so excited and happy. It was the most amazing gift I ever got because of how I'm obsessed with this really amazing movie that's like non other and I can't wait for the next one to come.
A fun and fantastic adventure! This is a fun film full of incredibly varied and energetic characters that just about anyone can enjoy. The voice work is well done, the animation is flawless, and the design of the world, creatures, and people is all fantastic! The development of the lead character in the story is a classic one but enjoyable all the same, especially with Toothless by his side.
How to train your dragon Loved it. No words can say how much I love it. Also recommend the sequal tv show on cartoon network: dreamworks dragons:riders of berk. Really good movie and tv series....
Love this movie My daughter now runs around calling Daddy her dragon.. a he carrys her on his shoulders.. Too cute.. Great for kids and adults
Best kids movie EVER I honestly have to say, I've seen tons and tons of kids movies over the years, and this is by far the best. My husband and I enjoy watching it on our own, our toddler loves the TV series and everything to do with the move, and I've just plain never met or seen anyone who doesn't love it. Fantastic, I would watch it over and over.

Listen Read Device Only Added Installed A pack of not-so-wild animals experience some serious culture shock when they move from the Big Apple to the Mighty Jungle in this computer-animated comedy. Alex (voice of Ben Stiller) is a lion who enjoys a charmed life as one of the leading attractions at a zoo in New York City's Central Park. While Alex and his pals Marty the Zebra (voice of Chris Rock), Gloria the Hippo (voice of Jada Pinkett Smith), and Melman the Giraffe (voice of David Schwimmer) are happy with their lot in life, they occasionally have a certain curiosity about the outside world, and when the zoo's penguins decide to make a break for it, Marty follows them into the city. Alex, Gloria, and Melman set out to find Marty before he gets into trouble, but they're a bit too late, and soon the zookeepers have decided that the animals are restless and need to be returned to the wild. Soon the critters find themselves living on the coast of Madagascar, where they quickly discover they aren't quite suited for living in the wild. Madagascar also features the voice talents of Cedric the Entertainer, Andy Richter, and Sacha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G).

Animation

Listen Read Device Only Added Installed Based on the popular Nickelodeon TV series Rugrats, this is the first full-length feature animated movie to star the little tots. It's the story of diaper-clad kids, told from a baby's point- of-view, and they were one of the hottest-selling toy franchises of the late '90s. The film features a hilarious musical number in the hospital nursery, where newborns have the voices of major rock stars that include Jakob Dylan (Bob Dylan's son), Iggy Pop, Lou Rawls, Lisa Loeb, and Patti Smith, to name a few. The story escalates when self-proclaimed leader Tommy Pickles is thrust into an impossible situation with the birth of his new brother, Dil Pickles. This new kid is grabbing all the attention and won't stop crying. With the help of other toddlers Lil and Phil, Tommy decides that the baby should be returned to the hospital for fixing. They all hop on their little wagon and take a high-speed ride straight into the deep woods where they realize they're lost. Chased around by animals (or so they think), the Rugrats clan must get home in one piece. Other celebrity voices include Whoopi Goldberg and The Rocky Horror Picture Show's Tim Curry, as well as Saturday Night Live's Andrea Martin and David Spade.

Listen Read Device Only Added Installed The Nickelodeon cartoon series The Wild Thornberrys gets its first feature-length animated film, directed by show creator Cathy Malkasian with a screenplay by Kate Boutilier (writer of Nickelodeon's Rugrats in Paris). The main character is 12-year-old Eliza Thornberry (voice of Lacey Chabert), a braces-and-glasses-wearing eccentric girl in an adventurous family of travelers. Due to an interaction with a shaman, she has been granted the special power of communication with animals, as long as she promises not to tell anyone about it. Her powers are challenged when her parents, Nigel (voice of Tim Curry) and Marianne (voice of Jodi Carlisle), decide to take the family on an African safari to make a nature documentary. Also along for the trip is snobby sister Debbie (voice of Danielle Harris), feral youngster Donnie (voice of Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers), and pet chimpanzee Darwin (voice of Tom Kane). After her new Cheetah cub friend is stolen by poachers, Eliza is determined to get involved. However, the stuffy Thornberry grandparents get in the way by sending her to boarding school. It's up to Eliza and Darwin to defeat the poachers and save the cub. Also featuring the voice talents of Brenda Blethyn and Lynn Redgrave.

Listen Read Device Only Added Installed Screenwriter John Fusco returns to the Western themes of his previous films Young Guns and Thunderheart with this animated children's adventure from Dreamworks. Matt Damon supplies the voice of Spirit, a wild Mustang stallion living free in the Old West of the late 19th century, where he's captured by human horse traders and sold to a cavalry regiment at a frontier outpost. There, a cruel colonel (voice of James Cromwell) nearly succeeds in breaking the willful horse, but not quite. Spirit escapes in the company of another captive, Little Creek (voice of Daniel Studi), a Native American youth that tries to possess the magnificent animal by more humane means, but Spirit refuses to bend to human will even when he makes the acquaintance of Little Creek's beautiful and fiercely loyal mare, Rain. After he saves Little Creek's life in an Army raid, Spirit believes that the gravely injured Rain has perished after a tumble over a waterfall. Despondent, the horse is captured again by humans, enslaved this time for work in a pack team on the transcontinental railroad. Undaunted by the tragedies that befall him, Spirit manages to escape for a reunion with Little Creek, Rain, and his long-lost brethren. Featuring songs by rock singer Bryan Adams, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron departs from other examples of its genre in that the horse protagonists do not speak or sing, only Spirit's voice is heard as voice-over narration.
