Dragons and Vikings in the highly anticipated twenty twenty five
live action remake of the beloved classic How to Train

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm Eva recording for kids first I Everyone, I'm ORVII
recording for kids first time.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I'm Madeline and today I'm reviewing the live action How
to Train Your Dragon.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
How to Train Your Dragon as a rory fantasy film
packed with intricate special effects, a powerful musical score, and
plenty of emotion.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
The live action remakes the heart of the original store
and builds on it with strong performances, breath taking visuals,
and a moving musical score.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
How To Train Your Dragon is centered around a Viking
boy named Piguck Mason Thames, who wants to fit in
with the others and go through training so he can
help his village kill the dragons that attack them.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
When he injures a knife for a dragon, but decides
to set a free instead of killing it, everything changes
for him. He secretly builds a friendship with the dragon,
whom he names Toothless, and soon begins to question everything
as people believe about dragons.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
He soon finds himself deeply conflicted, forced to choose between
staying loyal to his family and saving his new friend.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
The film grabbed my attention and held it from the
get go. The action, suspense of the battle scenes that
trials in flight, and the attends training to be a
dragons layer are all so crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
What stands out most in this film is how real
and emotional feels.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Among the most commendable components of How to Train Your
Dragon are the set. They are beautifully constructed and bring
immense artistic value to the film. For the most part,
the set designers who have stayed true to the original
animated film, and I adore seeing the beloved town of
Burke broad to life.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Every character is lovable, from Hiccup, who's just the right
amount of dorky and funny, to astrad Nico Parker, who
is a total girl boss and one hundred percent ready
to fight anyone that prevents her from becoming Number one.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
The cinematography, which involves quite a bit of motion, comes
together with the already magnificent scenery of Ireland in a
moving musical score to produce a masterpiece of fantasy cinema.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
How to Train Your Dragon sends message of peace and
kindness to all living creatures. We are not our history,
and with a little understanding, we can make friends with
the fiercest peace.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
One of my favorite scenes is the first time Hiccup
and Toothless fly together. It's magical, filled with wonder, and
shows just how much they trust each other. The message
How to Train Your Dragon is about empathy, courage, and
challenging the ideas we're taught. It reminds us that just
because something has always been done a certain way, does
it I mean it's right. This film promotes positive behavior
and strong values without feeling overly intentional. There's some action

(03:05):
in fighting, but nothing too intense or inappropriate for kids.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Be aware that the film has bright lights, jump scares,
and loud sounds that may be overwhelming to some people.
I give How to Train Your Dragon five out of
five stars and recommend it for ages twelve to eighteen.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I give How to Train Your Dragon five out of
five stars and recommend it for ages eight to eighteen
plus A Dolls.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
I give How to Train Your Dragon five out of
five stars and recommend it for ages five to eighteen
plus adults. The movie comes to theaters on Duke thirteenth,
twenty twenty five.
