Buch der Drachen

This Funny little story is equal parts Fun and Educational......The humour just keeps coming but in a way where you learn, while you laugh...... Love this so much!!!!!!

Book of Dragons (2011) is another short film in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise and it was fun.

Positives for Book of Dragons (2011): I like the idea behind this movie and it gets the job done. I like having the characters talk about the history of dragons and what causes their feud to happen. It was also cool to see each dragon and learn about their abilities. And finally, you get to learn how our characters were able to train and become friends with each species.

Negatives for Book of Dragons (2011): Similar to the first short film, this one only exists to cash in on the success of the first movie.

Overall, Book of Dragons (2011) is a fun short film and a nice learning experience for the fans.

This is a How to Train Your Dragon short. In the Great Hall, Hiccup and friends break the 4th wall and greet the viewer as a new trainer. They open the Book of Dragons. Gobber recounts Bork the Unfortunate who did the original writing of the book. He had his unlucky problem but he found purpose in researching the many species of dragons. There are so many dragons. It becomes almost like a quiz and my head started to hurt. It has to do with breaking the 4th wall and becoming a trainer in training. Some people may find this fun like Pokemon.

This is one of two shorts recently released that are based on the "How to Train Your Dragon" characters. Of the two, "Book of Dragons" is by far my least favorite--mostly because it isn't all that much fun.

The film begins with a quick recap of the original full-length film. Then it purports to be an educational video--instructing the viewer on what it is to become a dragon trainer. It's interesting how the characters appear to talk to the viewer--as if you are applying for one of these jobs. Much of the instruction is on the history of dragon identification and these portions are done with what appears to be traditional hand-drawn animation. Some of this is rather cute but too much appears to like a very dry lecture. An interesting idea but one that gets old rather quickly.
