This movie probably pitched itself. Presenter went into boardroom and said this sentence: "we want to make a movie about vikings and dragons where eventually the vikings ride dragons". That's all you probably need to get funding for a movie. Overall, those vikings ride dragons. It's every little Minnesota boy's dream. The voice work was excellent, and the plot held up. That was all this movie had to do. It surpassed these goals with reasonable ease and for that Kudos.
Additional fun facts: Voice actors included Kristin Wig, (Dr. Who) David Tennant, Jonah Hill, and my favorite Bablyon 5 geek out Robin Atikin Downes.
Ratings
