From Fox Home Entertainment:
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment announces the DVD release of the Annie Award® winning TV series DreamWorks DRAGONS: RIDERS OF BERK. The two-part DVD will be available everywhere July 23. Loaded with exciting bonus content for the whole family to enjoy, disc one containa episodes 1-11 and disc two features episodes 12-20. Based on the DreamWorks Animation Academy Award®-nominated hit movie How to Train Your Dragon, the series features original voice talent from the film including Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Zack Pearlman, and more.
Fans that purchase the DVD will be able to unlock exclusive content in DreamWorks’ School of Dragons, the all-new game from JumpStart based on DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise. When it comes to action and excitement, the sky’s the limit in this high-flying animated TV series.
The two-part DVD set is jam-packed with special features that dive deeper into the world of Dragons. As a bonus, each DVD comes with a code to unlock an ultimate battle pack – and in select DVDs an exclusive Whispering Death or Thunderdrum dragon – for the DreamWorks’ School of Dragons game. School of Dragons lets players enter the world of Berk, where Hiccup, Toothless and other friends help players become the finest dragon trainers around. With cinema-like graphics and an immersive 3D world, it takes more than courage to train a dragon, but brains as well. For more information, visit http:www.schoolofdragons.com
Our review:
If, like my kids, you watched How to Train Your Dragon and wanted to know more about the dragons and their viking friends, then this 20 episode series is for you! And you don't have to be a little kid to enjoy it - when I received the two DVD's in the mail the other day, Robyn was the first one to grab them and pop the first DVD into her player.
With 20 episodes you get to see way more about each of the dragons, their humans and their adventures! In true DreamWorks form, each 22 minute episode is a great story and contains fabulous graphics. The boys discovered How to Train Your Dragon just this year and are thrilled to be finding out more about the whole gang. Since we don't have cable, they were thrilled to be able to watch TV episodes that came out so recently!
