If your kid likes dragons then they will love this tale. The graphics are great, the music is fabulous and the story is top shelf. The people who wrote this story and the others in this saga should get an award because they are entertaining for kids and adults too and border on theatre releases. I actually prefer these movies to some of the other hack job sci fi flicks being released in theatres today. A lot of imagination went into these stories and your kid should really enjoy them. I would recommend the child being around 5 or older before turning them onto these stories/DVDs because there is animated fighting in it.
