“How To Train Your Dragon-2,” DreamWorks Animation returns to the world of dragons and Vikings in this sequel to their successful 2010 outing “How to Train Your Dragon.”

Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn't exactly fit in with his tribe's longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup's world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges him and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune describes “How To Train Your Dragon-2” as “a thoughtful tale as meaningful for grownups as it is pleasurable for its young primary audience.” And the Miami Herald describes the film as “one of the most beautiful animated films ever made.”

“How To Train Your Dragon-2” is rated PG. It plays Sunday, July 27 with two shows at 3 and 7 p.m. and Monday, July 28 through Wednesday, July 30 at 7 p.m.
