My Take on the DVD
This was a great collection of episodes that build so amazingly from the original movie. You get to spend more time with the characters that you have come to love from the movie and experience quality writing and strong artwork. One of the things that I loved about this was that many of the same actors that voiced characters in the movie are back for this series too which lends to credibility in my book. My girls and I enjoyed watching these episodes, with the Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man being our favorite (but all were great!).
All-in-all this was a great set. If you loved the movie, you will love this series too!
