Dreamworks has done the impossible! They've officially beaten Pixar as the best computer animation studio. Sure they've had some duds, but so has Pixar. (I'm referring to Brave) This is one of the best, if not the best, of all the films they've put out. Don't expect this to wrap everything up though, because just like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, this isn't a sequel, but rather act 2 of a 3 act story that you have to watch in order. Fans of the book series may be dissapointed to learn however, that just like the first film, its completely different from the books. This is also not the same formula that Dreamworks has used for "Shrek" and "Madagascar." Unlike those films this has a darker, more serious tone and is definitely anything but cookie cutter. I'm optimistic that "Dragons 3" will not be Dreamworks milking a dead cow, but rather making a fresh cut of prime rib out of it.
Grade: A+ 10/10 5/5 stars
