and in the subtle, moving character design of Toothless, a descendant of Hayao Miyazaki's beloved Totoro mixed with a big black cat." As EW's reviewer put it, "the movie's visual scope is magnificent, both in the photorealistic rendering of fire, water, and translucent green ice. But what begins as a shocking discovery soon turns into a fight to protect everything they hold dear.įeaturing the voices of Gerard Butler, Kit Harington, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, and Kristen Wiig, How to Train Your Dragon 2 is perfect for fantasy fans looking to dig deeper into the magical coming-of-age tale. This sequel picks up five years later when to duo happens upon a cave with thousands of fliers and an elusive Dragon Rider ( Cate Blanchett). After all, it told the epic, heartwarming story of a tribe of Viking dragon slayers and Hiccup ( Jay Baruchel), a young boy who befriends one of the creatures and dubs him Toothless (and he's just as adorable as his name). When How to Train Your Dragon, based on a popular series of children's books, was first released in 2010, audiences immediately loved it. If you liked Monster House, you may also enjoy: The Nightmare Before Christmas, streaming on Disney+. It also wowed EW's critic, who wrote, "The notion of a creaky old house that goes beyond haunted - a house that, in fact, actively haunts, lunging around the neighborhood to chase after the overly curious - is so cool, it's a wonder no one's ever thought of it before." Monster House exists in a similar vein as Tim Burton's most beloved animated movies being equal parts creepy and contemplative. But beneath the creaky floorboards is a surprisingly touching story of love lost and found again, even from the great beyond. Of course, the neighborhood kids (Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner, Spencer Locke) must explore its haunted secrets for themselves one fateful Halloween night. This story by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab features - you guessed it - a hellish house guarded by a grumpy old man ( Steve Buscemi). For those who like a touch of terror in their animated movies, Monster House definitely delivers.
