How To Train Your Dragon

Little Jack was off to a mid-morning birthday party today so Mrs F suggested that I take eldest son to see this. Unexpected cinema visit = a very happy Fletch. Bought Luke a moviebox thingy with drink, popcorn and chocolates. He refuses to start tucking in until the film itself starts though so he can get the full experience. He is definitely a mini-me, expect a rival Fletch Eats Movies blog in about 15 years. Unless he finds something better to do. Like anything.

Really enjoyable kiddies' film this. Luke loved it and spent the rest of the day pretending to be a dragon, running round the shops flapping and breathing fire (two things I often do when shopping with the wife). We saw the 3D version and it was on one of the better screens at Cineworld. The quality and clarity of the projection was very clear. Think you can get a bit too used to fuzzy screens, intermittently duff sounds and overly hot theatres so it was a real treat to have a decent screening for once.

Anyway the film. Yeh. A decent story, great animation, excellent voice cast (gruff Gerard Butler a highlight) and a nice, positive moral message. Don't hate others just because they're different to you. Get to know them. Just show them your snake, tickle their chests and then jump on their backs and ride them hard before sharing fishy, sloppy seconds. Simple. Don't look at me like that. This is what happens in this film. Not the DVD you have at the back of your wardrobe that you think I don't know about.
