Uncharacteristically Solid

While I had heard positive word of mouth for the movie, the Dreamworks logo tempered my expectations - even had they not been, however, they still would have been exceeded. I would not hesitate to call this the first Dreamworks animation which stands on the same level as Pixar's better films (and exceeds some of their weaker offerings). Some stumbles (the ending feels poorly paced and some minor characters are forgettable) can be forgiven by virtue of the sheer charm the main characters exude - Wall-E set a high bar for how much personality animators could give an unvoiced character, but Toothless meets that standard admirably.
The flight sequences (which would make Miyazaki jealous) alone should justify the 3-D surcharge, but the movie as a whole is beautifully rendered, and definitely worth experiencing in 3-D.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
