Based on
the CGI movie How to Train Your Dragon,
DreamWorks now brings you an animated adventure series of a young boy and his
dragon, and his friends and their dragons. This is a family friendly cartoon, as the
'barbaric' Vikings learn to become dragon riders with the 'scary' dragons. Each episode the characters face a new problem
in which the dragons help solve by the end, from fighting bad guys to dealing
with dragon prejudice. Extras include
evolution of various dragons, 'Fly High' and 'Heavy Metal' mash up and the
world of DreamWorks animation, while the sound and picture continue to be as
good as the first DVD release was.
