Quick movie reviews for the two animated flicks I saw this weekend. First "How to Train Your Dragon" was far and away more charming than even I'd expected. All of the characters were well defined, the animation was gorgeous and the voice acting top notch. Also Toothless, the Night Fury dragon, reminded me so much of Kage when I first adopted her many years ago. Absolutely adorable!

Second "MegaMind" was a film I knew I was going to enjoy on some level as I have a definite fondness for anything about super villains (and I loved "Despicable Me" for the very same reason), but I had no idea I'd adore it quite as much as I did. It was funny, charming, breathtakingly animated, and really well acted. And did I mention funny? 'Cause it was, absolutely hilarious. I know folks may have a little difficulty with Will Ferrell, but trust me when I say that you'll be pleasantly surprised, I know I was.

I LOVE MEGAMIND! I don't usually like Will Ferrell, but I surprised myself by liking him as a voice actor.

And it's so rare that I see an animated movie where I can't predict what twisty turny thing will happen next. This was AWESOME.

I tend to identify with the outcasts so I knew I was going to have a soft spot for MegaMind but damn if those school sequences didn't seal the deal. How adorable was he?

SUPER adorable! I wanted to squoosh him and feed him cookies.
