Dragons: Riders Of Berk - Part 1

My son (8 years old) and I watched the original film "How to train your dragon" countless times when it first came out. We have been hoping that there would be some sort of sequel, so when I discovered the Riders of Berk series I immediately ordered the DVD. Our expectation being so high there was been a fair chance of being disappointed. Instead the new episodes are just wonderful. Not only are all the fascinating dragons back, we also love the stories that the 20 min episodes tell. After all the story is what makes a film a real success so you can watch it again and again. The Riders of Berk fall in that exceptional small group of outstanding CGI movies which are the result of imagination, and a tangible love of the makers for the cosmos that they create. We can't wait for the Part 2 DVD!

My kids love this series and the film is the one thing they will sit down for a long period of time and watch. There are good stories and great characters. May not be suitable for the youngest of kids despite the U rating as there is a bit of violence in it.

"Riders of Berk" Part 1 is an in depth look at life on Berk and explores the relationship between the Village Folk and their new friends the Dragons, which at times can be frustrating and chaotic for all concerned to say the least. Hiccup and his band of Dragon Riders have to take responsibility for smoothing the process of domestication of the Dragons which leads to many hilarious consequences and story lines. Dreamworks have created a great franchise for the young at heart to explore and enjoy for years to come but sadly some of the voice actors have not returned to the project, which damages consistency in the overall story telling. Hopefully the children in your life won't notice the differences too much or be all that bothered by them. If you are looking for a great way to bring the family together for a few hours then you couldn't do much better than this DVD box set.

Great fun with Hiccup and the gang getting into all sorts of trouble. Each episode comes in at just under half an hour so it's easy to to fit in to a busy day. Good, light entertainment that brings us more dragons and a broader view of Berk (and beyond) and its other inhabitants.

Great story lines for all ages. Highly recommend!

This double set of DVD's picks right up from the original movie (How To Train Your Dragon). There is hours of fun to be had in this multiple program set comprising of eleven thirty minute stories. The picture quality is just the same as the movie, and although some of the character voices have been replaced you wouldn't know it. I can't wait for the follow up set of short stories in Dragons: Riders Of Berk- Part Two, due to be released on region two DVD's next year ( July 2014 ). You can buy this set in Region One from Amazon, but you will need the appropriate DVD ( Multi Region ) player to view them in this country. Oh yes, watch out for the next follow on How To Train Your Dragon movie where you will be finding all these lovable characters grown into their teens... should be be good folks !

My son loved the first How to Train Your Dragon film and after a watching a few of the TV episodes it was clear they had kept to the same winning formula - we had to purchase the complete series. Great for children and the parents wont get bored either.

NICE LITTLE STORIES - A SERIES OF ADVENTURES THAT CAPTURE THE INTEREST OF MY 3 YEAR OLD GIRL - SHE LOVED THE FILM AT 2, BUT GLAD I GOT THE SERIES NOW THAT SHE IS 3 AS SHE HAS A BETTER GRASP OF WHERE ONE EPISODE ENDS AND THE NEXT ONE STARTS. - WILL RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE THAT LOVES DRAGONS !!

La lingua in italiano c'è, ma da PC non è selezionabile nelle voci dal menu del DVD, bensì dal menu audio dell'applicazione con cui lo guardate. Ad esempio con VLC basta andare nella voce Audio dell'app e si trova l'italiano... sperando che questa recensione sia utile :)

Per colezzionare 😃

Tempi di consegna rispettati. Sono storie di contorno ai film. Le edizioni sono del livello che ci si aspetta per prodotti del genere e i racconti lo stesso. Una cosa da avere se avete un bimbo appassionato della serie, ma che sennò si può tranquillamente evitare di comprare. I film invece meritano comunque.

5 stelle per il contenuto, questi episodi sono fantastici per l'intera famiglia, a pari merito del film Dragon Trainer. Il dvd effetivemente non mostra l'italiano come opzione ma sul computer con DVDShrink e poi Handbrake ho potuto generare i file da far vedere a tutti sul mio AppleTV. Mi valeva la pena perche' non trovavo altro e dopo quel "lavoro" informatico mi trovo con ore di piacevole divertimento con bimbi e anche marito.

DVD arrivato in pochissimi giorni (2), con imballo perfetto. Qualità video e audio nella norma. In pratica esattamente quello che mi aspettavo ad un prezzo giusto. A proposito dell'audio, l'italiano è presente, l'unica accortezza che bisogna avere, con alcuni lettori, è quello di settare la nostra lingua come default, ci vogliono 3 minuti a star larghi.
