Review
From the very detailed development illustrations through to the interactive – it is true that there is something for all ages in the exhibition. And given a large amount of the material is the more contemporary of DreamWorks folio children can easily identify characters and films they know and love throughout the space.
A highlight of the exhibition is Dragon Flight: a Dragon’s-Eye View of Berk, a spectacular, 180-degree environment offering never-before-seen vision of Berk, the Viking township from How to Train Your Dragon. Dragon Flight takes visitors on an exhilarating panoramic dragon ride on the back of Toothless, as the Isle of Berk builds around them. I tried to take some photographs – but really you just need to see it.
Through out the space there are models, sketches, film clips and also touch screens to play with. At the very back corner of the space you can try your own hand at creating your own animations in the Drawing Room.
Over the coming months ACMI will be screening favourite DreamWorks films as part of Kid’s Flicks (tickets $7). To check out what’s on CLICK HERE.
