Expanding on a famous line about entertainment, a major Hollywood studio executive told me recently, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard. Comedy sequels hardly ever succeed — whether they’re animated [films] or not!”

That’s a sentiment with which many of us likely agree, given the many sequel stumbles we’ve witnessed over the years.

So, that’s what is so delightful about watching “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” the superbly crafted sequel to the 2010 hit that swept us up into a world of dragons and Vikings, based on the original books by British children’s author Cressida Cowell. Not only does this second movie match the charm, wit, animation skill and intelligent storytelling of the original, I think it even exceeds it.

Major kudos, of course, have to go to the writer-director and “Dragon” creative driving force, Dean DeBlois. His cinematic artistry touches every frame of this motion picture that moves Hiccup, his dragon pal Toothless and the entire fantasy world of the Viking community of Berk into entirely new territory.
