Dragons: How to Train Your Dragon*

Hello, Friends!

Let's take a little break from our dragon features series and talk about How to Train Your Dragon. This is one of my favorite movies. Why? The awesome music, flying, wonderful message, and, of course, dragons.

First, the awesome music. The How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack is one of my absolute favorite soundtracks, because it sounds like dragons. It sounds like dragons fighting and dragons flying, but still keeps Berk and the vikings in mind. The music perfectly fits the whole setting, scenery, and characters of How to Train Your Dragon. But why are you listening to me talk about it? Go listen to it! (Here's the link.)

Secondly, flying. I have always dreamt of flying, and the music along with the awe-inspiring scenery takes my breath away.

The message. Maybe it's just because I saw the movie first, but I like the movie better than the book. The movie's message is a stronger, needed message, and the characters have more personality, and their personalities are varied. Anyways, let's talk about the message of the movie. The movie is about a young boy who keeps trying to be someone else, someone he's not. He finally finds a friend, in the most unlikely of places, and is determined to keep that friend, despite what everyone else wants him to do, and despite that by refusing to give up his friend, he suffers. He turns the vikings' enemies into their friends.

Finally, the dragons. I mean, there is a whole section of my blog dedicated to dragons. Honestly, what would you expect? Also, the dragons are just so amazing that you're going to have to go watch the movie. (Again.) The vikings have an entire book of dragon species, and they also have some of the coolest dragon species imaginable.

So that's why I love How to Train Your Dragon so much.
