Absolutely rolling on the floor hilarious, layers of comic genius for various levels of intellect. I literally had to slap my hands across my mouth because I my hooting was inappropriately loud. My cheek muscles and abdomen were sore from laughing. I can't wait for the Blu-ray release!
It is NOT, NOT, NOT a happy, fun movie. It is dark, cynical and does not project a perspective that I associate with toys, childhood or exuberant pre-schoolers. It spewed negativity, including repetitive, reckless name-calling...not my idea of reminiscing of fun childhood memories. I much prefer rolling in the aisles gasping for air from uncontrollable laughter (i.e. Despicable Me)...TS3, chuckled once...when Ken hit on Barbie...that was it...bleh.
Of course I recommend seeing the movie, just for the art of it, but Burton was way off base. Lewis Carroll wrote this about Alice, not about the Queen of Hearts and her droll sister "What's 'er Queen". Johnny Depp's talents were TOTALLY wasted. The entire movie was an editing mishap. I almost fell asleep approximately 10-15 minutes before the movie ended, yet I was still intrigued enough to sit through the entire movie, for comparison sake.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Our group of four movie goers consisted of a 3 yr old, 12 yr old, 46 yr old and 69 yr old. Giggling, snickering, edge-of-your-seat breath-holding, sighing and heart touching "awwws"...that's what "How to Train Your Dragon" is all about. The perfect balance between Vikings and Dragons, our opinions are consistent, we all LOVE it!
