DVD “DreamWorks Dragons: Defenders of Berk Part 1″ Arrives March 25th

What We're Watching:

Dragons: Defenders of Berk is one of my tweens' favorite shows and I must confess... mine too.  It's a blog stopper.  There are three shows my kids dig that I'll stop work for and watch with them.  Dragons: Defenders of Berk, Phineas and Ferb, and Gravity Falls.  They're all excellent, have great animation, they're entertaining, and they are so well written. So, we're super stoked to announce that “DreamWorks Dragons: Defenders of Berk Part 1″ arrives March 25th on DVD!!  We're also more than a bit excited about the film sequel coming in June.  

Check out our past coverage of the LIVE stage show here. It totally blew our minds and is still one of our all time favorite arena shows!
