After wonderful movies like Madagascar, Shrek and Kung Fu Panda, one comes to expect from Dreamworks a certain degree of finesse and class when it comes to 3D animation. And with How to Train Your Dragon 3D, Dreamworks has delivered yet again. This is probably the first Dreamworks movie that centers around a human teenager and not an adult or animals.
