How to Train Your Dragon Lands on Blu-ray August 12 and now on Digital! Enter to Win

 

Movie Magic Flies to Your Home

Looking for a family movie night pick that’s more than just fun—it’s fiercely heartwarming and downright epic? Good news: How to Train Your Dragon is back and ready to soar into your living room! 🐉✨

This beloved DreamWorks tale, which has captured hearts around the globe, is available now on digital platforms to own or rent. And for those who still love the feel of a disc (or maybe you’ve got a dragon-loving collector in the house), it hits shelves in stunning 4K UHD and Blu-ray™ August 12, 2025.

📖 What’s It About? If you haven’t met Hiccup and Toothless yet, or just want to relive their story, here’s a refresher:
Set on the rugged island of Berk, where Vikings and dragons are sworn enemies, young Hiccup isn’t your typical warrior. When he forms an unlikely bond with a fearsome Night Fury dragon, Toothless, everything changes. Their friendship challenges centuries of tradition and uncovers truths that unite rather than divide. With help from strong-willed Astrid and quirky blacksmith Gobber, Hiccup faces an ancient threat that puts both worlds in peril. In the end, it’s not just about taming dragons, it’s about rewriting history and finding courage in unexpected places.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Stuff to Do With Your Kids Tip: Why not turn your viewing into a themed experience? Set up Viking helmets at your seats filled with fun snacks, and let the kids build their own paper Toothless crafts. We’ve done movie nights like this before and trust me it turns an average evening into a memory-maker!

So grab your popcorn, cuddle up, and let this cinematic gem take your family on a ride beyond the clouds.

What happens when the Paw Patrol comes face to face with a meteor? See the trailer below

Finding new ways to navigate their super status may be a bit more than they bargained for.  Don't worry though, the Paw Patrol Pups always find a way to work together. In their new adventure, Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, the pups go through a lot of changes and have lots of obstacles to overcome. We know how popular the last Paw Patrol film was, so we are thrilled to let our readers know about the upcoming movie! It will be in theatres on September 29, 2023.

When a magical meteor crash lands in Adventure City, it gives the PAW Patrol pups superpowers, transforming them into The MIGHTY PUPS! For Skye, the smallest member of the team, her new powers are a dream come true. But things take a turn for the worse when the pups' arch-rival Humdinger breaks out of jail and teams up with a mad scientist to steal the superpowers for the two villains. With the fate of Adventure City hanging in the balance, the Mighty Pups have to stop the supervillains before it's too late, and Skye will need to learn that even the smallest pup can make the biggest difference.
