Dozens of Patch fans from across the state—young, old and in-between—gathered at the Bow Tie Majestic Theatre in downtown Stamford Sunday afternoon for a special, 3-D screening of Paramount Pictures latest feature film, How to Train Your Dragon.
The movie is a fantasy from DreamWorks Animation based on a popular children's book by Cressida Cowell.
Its young hero, Hiccup, is scorned by his Viking community until he makes peace with the winged dragons who have been a fearsome enemy.
