My Review:

This was one of my family’s favorite reviews, as we were not only sent this double DVD and online video game, but also a s’mores kit, a book that showed all the animations and information behind the movie, as well as 2 horned hats.  The added gifts made for a fun evening.  My husband ended up watching this movie during my hospital stay two weeks ago, after giving birth to our second daughter.  He had his brother and sister over and together, with my daughter, they piled around the television, with hats on and s’mores made to watch this great flick.  We missed How to Tame Your Dragon when it was out at the movies, so neither my husband or I knew what was in store for us.  Friends had repeatedly told us that the movie was great, and that animations alone made the DVD worth renting to see.  So, my husband had high hopes that this compilation DVD would live up the hype of the original movie.  And…it did.  Everyone loved it!   I think the adults liked it more than the kids, but hey, we are all kids at heart. 

After I returned home from the hospital with baby, we watched this again, minus Savannah, who ended up falling asleep during the first 5 minutes.  I have to say, this was a great movie.  And, I too, couldn’t get over the wonderful animation. But, I have to say it was hard to take my husband serious, after seeing photos of him wearing the horned hat that was included in this review pack.

So, if you and your family are fans of How to Tame Your Dragon, then you definitely need to pick up this sequel to it.  It makes for a great Friday night movie night with the family.

 

Disclosure:  I was sent a copy of this DVD from the vendor in order to write up an honest review.  The views above are mine and mine alone.
