Good story but not for little ones

2 girlfriends & I took our teens out for a girls' night & saw "How To Train Your Dragon." The movie was chosen by one of the other moms & I honestly didn't know anything about the theme, story, etc. I was pleasantly surprised! In fact, we all were...including our teens (who, by the way, are juniors in h.s.).
We chose to see this film in "Real 3-D" & I would highly recommend doing so, yourself. The computer animation is unbelievable (how far they've come) and the action sequences are far more exciting, realistic, thrilling & suspenseful in 3-D. However, I can say we will purchase this on DVD without hesitation...the animation is so well done, I don't think it will lose much when viewing it in our own home theatre.
Here is my one "warning"...and keep in mind I err on the side of caution: this is not a movie for little ones. I think many parents see the word "animated" and automatically think it will be "just fine" for their young children under the age of 6. This one is pretty intense...aka lots of potential for those prone to nightmares to have these sharp-toothed, fire-breathing "monsters" swirling around in their little heads.
However, lest I spoil the charming, poignantly written plot, I will say the lessons taught in this movie provide many a sigh of relief & several "Aw" moments which remove the "monster image" that is painted at the beginning of the movie.
We were surrounded by dozens of families who brought their young children and, to my knowledge, none left the theatre in tears. However, for me & my tender-hearted four year-old son with a huge imagination, I think we will wait a year or two, until we view this one with him.
But overall, I say go see it...especially in 3-D. And just use a little discression with your little ones.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
