<\/p>\n

The How to Train Your Dragon Live Spectacular<\/a> is a never-before-seen production that opened Thursday and only runs for seven shows through Sunday at The Honda Center. We went, we saw, the kids were slayed (so to speak). Here\u2019s a look from the night. In a nutshell: Poetic music. Cinematic visuals. Strong story. And the dragons were massive. This shot below from the end of the evening as the show wrapped.<\/p>\n


\nThe event, which was critically acclaimed in Australia and New Zealand, was produced by the storytellers at DreamWorks Animation, and Global Creatures, the masterminds behind the international phenomenon Walking with Dinosaurs, the #1 grossing world tour of 2010.<\/p>\n

\nThe show features more than a dozen dragons, some with wingspans of up to 46 feet, as well as Viking warriors and circus artists and acrobats.<\/p>\n

\nHere\u2019s a quick live look from the night (pardon the kid-head popping in frame):\n<\/p>\n

Jan 18, 2013 |<\/span> Quick live look from last night\u2019s How To Train Your Dragon live @hondacenter #dragonsoc (view from suites)<\/a> by DebbieLavdas<\/a> on Keek.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\nNow do I know how the dragons did all those wild pupperty movements and the technical wizardry of the magnetic floor and more? I haven\u2019t the slightest. Which makes it all the more fantastical really. My kids also saw the Dinos Spectacular in 2010 and said that they liked this better\u2014I think that\u2019s because they\u2019d seen the Dragon movie and could follow the story easily.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIf you\u2019re thinking about going, get on it, as the shows are selling out fast. They just added more seats yesterday, but who knows how long they\u2019ll last. Have fun!<\/p>\n
