DVD Review: “Dragons: Riders of Berk”

Dragons: Riders of Berk

Released: November 20, 2012

Studio: 20th Century Fox

Running Time: 88 minutes

While we haven’t seen the actual movie “How to Train Your Dragon” we did see the live-show spectacular when it came to town and my boys have been hooked. We did catch this show on tv a few times luckily but it is so much nicer to have an actual DVD that my boys can watch anytime.

ALL-NEW DRAGONS! ALL-NEW ADVENTURES!

Buckle up for more high-flying action and fire-breathing fun with this thrilling debut of the animated TV series based on the Academy Award®-nominated hit movie How To Train Your Dragon! The epic story of Hiccup, Toothless and his fearless friends continues with 4 explosive episodes filled with all-new adventures and exciting, never-before-seen dragons.

Included in the DVD are 5 Collectible Dragon Training Cards featuring an augmented reality mobile experience. The augmented reality app can be downloaded at dreamworksanimation.com/ar. Use it to bring the Dragon cards to life! Collect them all!

This Dragons DVD features four episodes from the tv series with all the dragons that my boys love and then some. It is a show about training a dragon, rather than killing it – basically how to co-exisit! The show is cute and silly, and probably perfect for 5-9 year olds – although I admit I don’t mind watching it. There isn’t a show out there like this one, which is a nice change of pace from our usual tv routine. Since it includes episodes, it is perfect to watch just one or keep watching them. Yes they are re-peats from the tv series but again it is nice to have them all on one DVD to watch anytime! You also receive five collectible dragon cards to play with.

BUY IT: You can buy “Dragons: Riders of Berk
