Great father-son movie

This is a good one for daddy day. Has a great message about understanding between parents-kids and species-species. Also touches girl empowerment. Curiously, mothers are nowhere to be found in this, but there is a hilarious reference to the Viking dress for women. Very manly movie, but as a female, I really wasn't put off.
Apart from the message, the story was engaging, the graphics were terrific, and pet dragon was very expressive. The voice actors do a great job. Jay Baruchel did roughly the same character as "She's out of my league" and it worked here also. My bone to pick is only that Vikings are Norse, not Scots--Craig Ferguson and Gerald Butler are very distinctive Scots. They both do bluster well, which fit the part, if not the history.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Up 3D

The trailer for this movie didn't do it justice. It showed an old man flying his home This turned out to be a well thought out, humorous, touching, and entertaining story. The boy and the bird were particularly fun and funny. The grumpy old dude's story made me cry. And the whole thing made me laugh a lot.
The technology for 3D was very good. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the stereo effect for 3D; it was more like wearing sunglasses indoor.
Definitely a "best movie" for this year.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
