3. I was pretty disappointed with Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon. The dragon designs are lackluster, and the story is cliched and manipulative (as basic as having a mean person kick a puppy to make you feel sad). I have no desire to see any moment of it again. My 3 and 5 year olds barely tolerated it. Cartoonists, it's time for a story that's not about the hottest girl throwing herself at the super geek. You could do young boys a service by suggesting realistic techniques for winning a girl's heart. You know - - something other than using a dragon to abduct them.
