Next in the series boasts fire-breathing action, epic adventure and big laughs with the journey of Hiccup in “How to Train Your Dragon” Saturday, July 8. Hiccup, the young Viking, defies tradition and befriends one of his deadliest foes, a ferocious dragon he calls Toothless. Together, the unlikely heroes fight against the odds to save both their worlds.

Prepare for awesomeness later in the month with a DreamWorks favorite, “Kung Fu Panda” Saturday, July 22. Jack Black is the voice of Po, who works in his father’s noodle shop but has dreams of becoming a Kung Fu champion. He decides to watch the nearby Dragon Warrior tournament with his noodle trolley. A quick decision not only changes the trajectory of his life but creates an enemy in the process that he must fight to protect those he cares about.

Don’t travel to New York’s Central Park Zoo for animals, come see “Madagascar” Saturday, August 5.
