How to Train Your Dragon on DVD

Both my son and I loved, Loved, LOVED this movie! We enjoyed it so much, he's getting it on Sunday for his birthday. It is a sweet story about differences and honoring who you are, mixed with excitement and adventure. And it teaches a great lesson. Who could ask for more? You can see the full review here.

This is a definite Stay Up!

I do not recommend this film for very young children as the dragons can be a little scary but it certainly is appropriate for school age.

Ratings

For Theatrical Releases:
Step Out -- worth the effort and the cost to take the kids out
Stay In -- not worth the cost and effort, possibly worth a DVD viewing

For DVD:
I will give one of the four ratings --
Stay Up -- worth watching even if you don't have kiddos or if they are too young
Settle In -- enjoyable for everyone, settle in with the popcorn and the kids
Press Play -- okay for the kids, adults might want to find other entertainment
Skip It -- not worth the time or cost, even for the DVD

The Red Carpet Poles range from:
1/2

to 5

i'd let my kid see that

I'm a mom of two who loves films. As a family, we see hundreds of movies at the theater and DVDs.

Movie time is very special for us. And because of that, I love when a kid's movie is enjoyable to the adults in the room ("Up", anyone?). And because of that I hate when age-inappropriate content pops up (I'm looking at you, "Shrek"!).

So I'm creating a forum to discuss films and DVDs that I love, hate, and everything in-between. I'll give you my best go at the quality of the film, as well as warn you of any unpleasant surprises.

Let me know what you think. If you see a film and you have an opinion, share it. If there's a film, you want me to preview, let me know.
