DRAGON SWOOPS IN FOR FATHER’S DAY

Highly-anticipated blockbuster animation, How to Train Your Dragon 2, will get two special Father’s Day screenings at Showcase Cinemas Peterborough on Sunday – nearly three weeks before release.

It’s been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united the inhabitants of the Island of Berk – led by Gerard Butler’s Stoick the Vast.

With harmony between the dragons and Vikings – and dragon racing being the island’s new favourite sport – life is great, until Hiccup and pals stumble across an ice cave that could change everything.

They uncover a home to hundreds of wild dragons and the mysterious dragon rider that threatens to change the new-found peace and stability on the island forever.

Cate Blanchett, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill and Pompeii’s Kit Harington round off a star-studded voice cast in a movie that is currently the bookies’ favourite to be the biggest blockbuster of the summer – and it’s already garnering great early reviews.

Catch what should be a smokin’ hot slice of family entertainment before everyone else . . .
