How to Train Your Dragon 2 Grows Up

HowToTrainYourDragon2The thrilling second chapter of the epic How to Train Your Dragon trilogy returns to the fantastical world of the heroic Viking Hiccup and his faithful dragon Toothless. The inseparable duo must protect the peace – and save the future of men and dragons from the power-hungry Drago.

Hiccup has grown up from a boy to a young man. As much as he has grown up, so has the content of How to Train Your Dragon series. Compared to the whimsical, childlike wonder from the first movie, the sequel has an examination of the clash between good and evil. I would recommend this movie for kids 7 years and older, as the younger kids may not understand all that is happening and also might be scared by some of the battle scenes.

How to Train Your Dragon 2‘s poignant focus on the power of family’s influence is deeply compelling. I don’t want to go into too much explanation of this, as it would definitely be a spoiler. It’s the kind of pro-family storytelling that inspires you to want to be a better, more helpful, more loving member of your own family. Hiccup isn’t left to just follow his dreams, rather he learns about responsibility and leadership, as well as the work required to see things through.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is every bit as entertaining and engaging as its predecessor. This summer, let your family take flight in the theater with How to Train Your Dragon 2.
