New movie matinee set for Saturday

The kids are back in school and the Acadia Parish Library’s Crowley branch is continuing its Saturday Morning Children’s Movie Matinee series this week.

Being shown at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 10, will be “How to Train Your Dragon 2.” The movie is rated PG and runs 102 minutes (or an hour and 42 minutes). The movie was released in 2014 and is the sequel to the wildly popular 2010 release, “How to Train Your Dragon.”

The following is the plot synopsis from Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation:

“It’s been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.”
