We were wandering around the mall with the kids Saturday and walked by to check if any movies were starting soon. The latest offering from DreamWorks Animation was about to start and it was one we were interested in checking out.

I am typically quite cynical about movies and my usual discussions with Cynthia as we leave the theater usually goes something like

I would have to say that it was better than ‘Movie A’ but not quite as good as ‘Movie B.’

In this case, I was quite surprised. I went in expecting the standard ‘Animated Family Movie in 3D’ that have been churning out lately, but saw the best movie I have seen in quite a while.

It is very rare that I would be willing to turn around after a show and walk right back in line to see it again, but I was definitely tempted on this one.

If you have not yet seen How to Train Your Dragon, I would highly recommend trying to fit it in soon.
