I have a How to Train Your Dragon MEGA fan. He's four. He's obsessed.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is out on DHD now and we were lucky to be selected to trial the download version before it hits the market.
As an after Kindy treat I promised Mr J that he could watch How to Train Your Dragon 2 over a few days. I split into 3 days as a massive treat and he was very excited.
The beauty of downloading on our iPad is I could let him have some time away from his sisters and a little treat he didn't have to "share". I'm officially mother of the year!
With lots of "WOW mum" "Dragon rider mum" and "look look look mum" I also pretended to be enthralled without having to watch it word for word, (I get extra brownie points for my excitement) but let's be honest there's no better feeling than seeing the joy on your kids face when they watch or do something they love with you around. It's also not just for boys! I had the twins fighting over having a go to watch it after but sadly they have been informed it's " no it's only MY TREAT"
We are off on a road trip next week and with 3 kids under 5 I'm going to need the back up off handy downloads.
The story line:
When Hiccup and Toothless discover an ice cave that is home to lots of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves in a dramatic and entertaining battle to protect the peace.
The Verdict:
Mother rating: 10/10
Mr J rating 10000/10
Mr J did not put it down (WIN)
It's definitely age appropriate being a PG and I can see that this on the Christmas list once the little cousins find out!

My son and daughter. We were meant to go see it in the cinema last holidays but my son ended up in hospital with pneumonia and by the time he was well again it was no longer showing at the cinemas. He was good about it but I know he'd be really happy to see it - my daughter too.
J Walton
My son & daughter love this series of movies. Who wouldn't love to ride on a flying dragon?? Brilliant graphics, great friendships & a strong, spirited girl character so an all round good family movie.
Sharon
I would watch it with my nine year old son. When he is at my home on the weekend we have 'movie afternoon' with snacks and cuddles. It is a good time for me to catch up on the cuddles while he's here with me, and before he gets too old!
Linda
Two Knights and a princess who would love this, (and our cat cat, who thinks its a chinese dragon). One of my boys prefers dinosaurs and reckons they lived longer because they didnt smoke!!!!
Judy
I'd like to win it for my grandchildren as I will be babysitting them a lot in December because my daughter is doing a course and it would be nice to have them watch this to give me a break for an hour or two!

Isabelle Pearce
I would love one pack for my son he is obsess with How to train your dragon. He loves the first movie and the mini series. It would be a nice end of the year surprise for his first year at school! If I was lucky to win a second pack I would send it to a little boy thats fighting a cancer and has to spend long days in hospital. I'm sure this would brighten his days
Chris Pearce
My 5 year old son would love this great pack. He loves the movie and we missed it at the cinemas. My wife is planning a How to Train your dragon party for his birthday next year!!!
Isabelle Pearce

Chris P.
My son is obsessed with the movies How to train your dragon. He loves the mini series too, and he requested a How to Train your dragon party next year. He would be over this moon with this pack.
Amanda Gorton
This would give me a big tick as both a thoughtful sister and a fun, generous aunt as I would send it to my niece for entertainment in the car or the train during their trip when they come to visit ME in the holidays!
Skye
My son. He loves both the How to Train Your Dragon movies and to be honest so do I!
Maria P
My nephew...he's dragon mad!
Michele Enthoven
Both my boys, Ewan and Damon:) a few months ago we watched it at the drive in together and during a sad moment (won't spoil it for all the mums that haven't yet watched!!!!) we shared a few tears together.....I cry watching adverts so it was no surprise that I shed a few tears but Ewan was quietly sobbing while Damon had his head buried in my chest as he sobbed!!!! Such big tough boys that love dragons:). It's a great movie.
Cathy
My adventurous 5 year old is enthralled with the "How to Train Your Dragon" series. He firmly believes flying on a dragon is THE BEST mode of transport... ("Mum if we got a dragon we wouldn't have to sit in this traffic jam on the freeway!!")
Rosana
My stepson who loved the first movie, collects dragon figurines and who - in his quiet and I assumed way - is becoming more and more like a son to me.
Olivia Oh
My brother as he's born in the year of the dragon & loves reading up on these mythical creatures
Cathy B
Secretly myself I'm a fan of How to Train Your Dragon, although if I had my arm twisted I'd share it with my Grandkids, twin four year olds who love the series also and are dragon mad. We went to see the movie in the holidays with their elder brother and sister.
Cathie Mills
My little man who just turned 5 would love this. He is mad about dragons 🙂
Jenny L
My 9 and 11 year old sons because they love watching these movies that are full of fun and adventure and would enjoy the next movie! 🙂
Claire
My son is mad mad mad about dragons. I have to call him mr dragon not by his name. I have also had to install fire extinguishers around the house for when he breathes fire at me. It can be exhausting but he's totally cute
Lisa W
I'd love to win this for my eldest son. He's been such a big help in helping us find our missing cat this week. Handing out flyers, walking the street and searching the park with me. This is his favourite movie and he's so desperate to share it with Daddy as he couldn't see it at the cinema with us. Please!!!!
Judith Maunders
I'd love to win this pack for dragon mad Miss Eight and her equally dragon mad Dad. They watch Dragons: Riders of Berk whenever they can, they've seen both movies (I've only seen number one) and now Miss Eight has started reading the books too (yay!). No - scratch that - I'd like to win this prize pack for me. Miss Eight and her Dad are part of a dragon club that I just don't seem to have membership of ... yet. But this pack might just be my entry ticket in. I hope!!
Ali
How to train your dragon,
Would be great for master 2,
Loves all things dragons,
And would love this movie too!
His favourite one is toothless,
Talks about him all day through,
If he won this fantastic prize,
He'd say stuff like mums - THANK YOU!
Jodie Farnsworth
All my three kids would be thrilled with such a cool prize to share.
They haven't had the chance to see the second film and my middle child has How To Train Your Dragon 2 dvd on her Santa list.
Katrina C
My 7 year old son and my 5 year old daughter. They are obsessed! They also love the TV show's Dragons: Riders of Berk and Dragons: Defenders of Berk. This would make a great Christmas present!

Both little Cooper and Natasha love the "Dragon" films and this would help them learn to share both the prize and the experience
Renee Ballantyne
I would love to win this for the Christmas school holidays my kids and I would have a movie night this movie would go well with popcorn!
Lauren A
My kids are teenagers now, so I'd love to give this to my 5 year old great-nephew (because I really am a GREAT auntie!)
Carmen Gallagher
My 4 year old has decided he wants to be a dragon when he grows up so he can rescue people and other dragons. I'm thinking perhaps he could use this as a training video. 🙂
Sharyn Williams
This movie would be absolutely perfect for a family movie night
as both my children love to watch movies and this one looks so right.
my son especially loves dragons and pretends he is is one
and chases after his sister breathing "fire" saying to her "run run run".
my daughter also has been borrowing dragon books from the library
she loves to read (or get me to read) theses amazing written fantasies.
my children love to watch new things and they have not seen this movie
So this package would be perfect gift which would make them smile with glee.
Ana
Ues my boys Love this movie!!! ... Well I tell a white lie we all do! It's all about dragon riding and fighting imagine play here and I have even had a request for a dragon from Santa because Santa has everything!
caroline lina
My son is the only boy in the family and he loves dragons. So he would love to have more say in movies he is over frozen lol. My son would be so excited he would be jumping uo and down if his mum won him a prize. His sisters would love the movie as well
Lauren
I would love to win this pack for my two kids because they deserve a treat and this is a movie that we all enjoyed as a family.
Corinna W
I'd love to win it for my 8 year old daughter who hasn't seen this movie yet. With a 2 year old sister and a dad who works away, she unfortunately doesn't get to go see movies when they are on at the cinemas and tends to miss out on all the fun (as do I so I'd equally love to win it for me lol). I'd love to make a special production of it at home after the little one has gone to bed and use it for some bonding time. Then watch it over and over with them both!
Terri Todd
My "daughter" (she's like a daughter to me), she's going through a very tough time and I would love to cheer her up.
Angela M
My daughter absolutely loved this movie. She has seen it for the first time at the library. After that we saw it on television. She loved it. It teaches a lot about friendship, standing up for your rights. And it's full of imagination. The best combination!!
Catherine
I would love to win this for my thoughtful and special little man Daniel. He loves Toothless and watches the Dragon Riders of Berk series. I have lots of little gifts for my daughter but am struggling to come up with something great for him, so this would be just perfect x
Julia H
I'd love to win this for my 4 year old son, Jackson. He has autistic spectrum disorder and is OBSESSED with How To Train Your Dragon. We use dragon toys and games in his therapies. He hasn't seen the second movie yet but with Christmas around the corner I'm sure it'll be a favourite to discover under the Christmas tree!
Wendy Daniels
For my DAUGHTER who saw it at the movies and can't stop talking about how to train your dragon 2, ALSO for me because I haven't seen it as she went with Daddy to the movies.
Sharon M
My three boys have worn out the original movie and know it off by heart so that tells me it is time for the sequel!!!!! They can't wait to see Hiccup and Toothless in their new adventures!!! Yippee!!!!!!! 🙂
claire evans
my son loves the dragons, this would make him so happy to watch and play the dragon way
Amber
So my husband and I went to see this on the big screen to check if it was too scary to show our obsessed 3 year old. We decided that it perhaps was on the big screen bc so much more impactful, so am busting to get DVD for him. In the mean time, my husband and I have since become big fans ourselves. Brill story and adult jokes that the kids wld never get. Fun for the whole family! I have also been known to be seen crying just watching the trailer. Why can I now cry at anything?!!
Lena
My 3 daughters. We do a family movie night each fortnight, where we get pillows and blankets, drinks and of course popcorn and just enjoy a great movie as a family.
It's hard to find time to be together always so we make it a priority to spend a night as a family watching an awesome movie like how to train a dragon 2.
Thanks
Vanessa
I would love to win this for my son. He is mad crazed about HTTYD and has been collecting all things HTTYD since the first movie came out. From toys to magazines to books to movies and posters. This would make all his christmas dreams come true.
belinda anstis
I would absolutely love to win this for my 4 wonderful kids who are obsessed with how to train your dragon this would certainly make their Christmas a lot brighter
Rachel McCutcheon
My 4 year old daughter first saw How to train your dragon in a store on a big screen she pointed to the screen and said mummy please can I have this one, with hesitation I brought it for her ( looked scary) now she has a obsession with hiccup and toothless, she is a kid that is happy with anything she gets and does not really ask for anything however she has begged me to go movie, she watches the How to train your dragon very chance she gets min 4 times a week and has a Viking hat she wears to watch move and every where else, she has the boys pj's and sleeps with a flying toothless dragon. To say she would be over the moon to receive this price pack would be a understatement! ;0)
Chris
I would love for my son to win this awesome pack. He has a dragons obsession and if he won this pack he would be thrilled to bits! Not to mention helping me become the coolest mum ever for him
Nina Prior
My son, who starts schoo next year and my daughter who will be alone at childcare for the first time. A present to say how brave they both are.
Karen Robinson
I would love to win this for my middle Witchlet (middle of three girls). She LOVES dragons, and I am half way through stitching her a wool felt Toothless. Yes it would have been easier to buy her one from the local store, but by making one I am that I know she will cherish more than any store bought teddy. With three girls there is a fair amount of pink in the house, but their four favourite things are gnomes, dragons, pirates and witches. I love that it is not all dolls and tea parties. This Dragon prize will light up her face, as sometimes its hard being the middle child x
Deborah
I would love to win this for my granddaughter I was so busy I forget her birthday she is not impressed with me ( bad nanny ) she calls me now so I am sure I could get back in her good books with this prize
Sally Darnell
My 10 year old daughter Tazi is dragon crazy! All she wants for Christmas is dragon/toothless stuff!
Danielle
My husband! He can't wait to watch the new movie, he's a huge fan of the 1st one. Our daughter would love it, too, I'm sure and the goodies as well 🙂
Sharon Jardine
i would love to win a pack to add to one of the xmas boxes I'm making up for families who need a bit I of help over xmas .
