COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Fun submitted by CasualTim on January 10, 2011, 12:17pm In the first few minutes of HTTYD, I was worried that I wasn't going to like it nearly as much as I'd been told I would. The events in the first scene should really be wholly gripping, but fell short for me, aided in no part by some pretty average dialogue and exposition.

But after a slow start, the excellent characters and inspiring story win the day, leading to - what's that? someone chopping onions in the next room? - a fair bit of dust in my eye in the end. Of course that's compounded by one of the main dragon's facial expressions and body language being so terrifically drawn as to resemble my pet dog in many situations. Both the action and the story continue to improve throughout; you really will not be disappointed.

Not only is the film great fun, the messages are wonderful for younger viewers (and really, everyone), asking them to look beyond appearances and stereotypes, think for themselves, and do the right thing, even when it's the difficult thing. A valuable animated film for all the right reasons.

Doggone Dragons submitted by jaegerla on June 6, 2011, 10:33am A funny and funicular flick for full fledged family fun. Also, I would like a pet dragon please.

Funny submitted by mysterio on June 19, 2011, 7:08am It's really funny.

See it. submitted by cinderellariley on June 21, 2011, 4:16pm Everyone should see this movie. I love it.

Wonderful Entertainment submitted by karaelise on June 21, 2011, 8:34pm With main characters by the name of Hiccup and Toothless, it is hard to go wrong with How to Train Your Dragon. In a Viking society where killing dragons is a way of life, young Hiccup has trouble fitting in…which is especially bad news when you consider that his father is the leader of the Vikings. Determined to prove himself, Hiccup uses one of his invention to try to capture the elusive Night Fury dragon, which the Vikings fear above all others. However, upon discovering that he truly did capture the beast, he finds himself unable to kill and sets it free. He soon realizes that the dragon is injured, and what follows is the development of a tender and memorable friendship. But just as Hiccup is befriending Toothless, his father decides it is time for him to learn to slay dragons. Hiccup discovers a way to excel with dragons, but it is not by killing them—it’s by taming them! The intrepid Astrid discovers his secret, and soon the two have banded together in an attempt to save not only the dragons, but their fellow Vikings.
How to Train Your Dragon is a delightful movie full of high-flying adventure. Hiccup is a funny, loveable outcast, and Toothless is as adorable as a dragon could possibly be. While the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless is the shining feature of the whole movie, the other characters and the relationships amongst them are also strong and add depth, warmth, and humor to the story. The animation itself is colorful, with cartoon characters that are expressive and just plain fun to watch. Recommended for grades 4 and up.

Recommended!!! submitted by nfrassrand on June 24, 2011, 11:00am I love this movie. Its great entertainment and the dragons are cute if they aren't blowing things up. I recommend it highly.

dragons submitted by oshi1232 on June 24, 2011, 11:57am it was good

How To Train Your Dragon submitted by TripleH123 on June 26, 2011, 8:00pm Dragons where never this awzome! Great movie fun for the whole family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hiccup submitted by jdimarzo on June 27, 2011, 8:02am hiccup seems like a nice boy. but he has to kill a dragon so he can become part of the tribe.

Fun submitted by jnfaro on June 27, 2011, 8:07am This movie turned out to be a lot better than I expected. The action is great and you fall in love with Toothless (Hiccup's dragon in training) right away.

I want a dragon please submitted by xoxobrenda on June 27, 2011, 12:43pm My first impression: Why is the main character's name so weird? Hiccup? I know, but you get used to it once you become absorbed in the story.

Hiccup is a teen who is trying to fit in with his Viking community but at the same time, does not have the characteristics of a 'Viking', aka he is unable to kill dragons! He's a pretty awkward boy. So when he shoots down the almighty 'Night Fury' and befriends it, he gains a companion that completely changes his view on his dragons, Vikings, and his own identity.

I highly recommend this film! It's humorous and great fun. The relationship of Hiccup and his father (leader of Vikings) is tense but growing. Hiccup's interaction with others improves as the story progresses, and Hiccup himself becomes such an inspiring character.
ps. I really want a pet dragon.

Fun even the third time around submitted by adimarzo on June 27, 2011, 12:55pm I have seen this movie several times and I enjoy it every time. You really come to root for Hiccup as he tries to discover who he is. And the dragon Toothless is down right adorable. The writing is funny, the acents are great and the story carries you along to the end.

Radicle submitted by honordenver on June 28, 2011, 9:04pm This movie was totally radical dude.

Wonderful! submitted by adilaura on July 1, 2011, 7:16pm A splendid movie for a family movie night. Definately a must see!

Hilarious submitted by pavman13 on July 14, 2011, 6:32pm Great movie for the family.

Fun submitted by LuckyDuck on July 14, 2011, 7:57pm Cute and fun!

this is a great movie submitted by jakabe on July 24, 2011, 12:23pm this movie was really good I recommend this to all Vikings including V.I.T (Vikings In Training)... :)

Awesome submitted by jeromeng on July 24, 2011, 1:39pm This is an awesome movie!

Exceeded My Expectations submitted by haanhl on July 27, 2011, 4:01pm I honestly thought that this was going to be a terrible movie. The trailers didn't seem all that interesting and the reviews were really bad, but I went and checked out the movie for myself because many of my friends insisted that I see it. I was actually a really good movie! It is a really great movie for kids, but there are also parts that adults will enjoy as well. I love this movie and I highly suggest that you see it.

Fantastic submitted by tjaworsk on August 1, 2011, 8:01pm My family absolutely loved this movie. It is a fantastic story about a teen boy, a misfit, and how he befriends a dragon. The two end up being friends and teaching each other, and the whole clan, lessons about life and love. Fantastic movie.

AWW submitted by fluting4ever on August 4, 2011, 12:29am I was sad when the main character lost his leg! Good movie!

How to Train Your Dragon submitted by marisal on August 10, 2011, 1:41pm This is a great movie. My favorite character is Toothless.

great submitted by jszchen on August 26, 2011, 8:20pm This was a great movie

better dream... submitted by lekendrick on February 6, 2012, 6:45am kong fu panda I'd not really liked very much this is off in same spirit, but some how closes well! The character pack animals in panda is kinda story itself, but only dragons people they're collective things turns out well! Although admittedly it's a children's film & design dragons will miss adults as childlike the moral dragons a super dinosaur type beast deliver plunder from human village not bad nor heavy handed! Even unforeseen as to suddenly point of these repeated exploits falls upon...

The book is way better and this is nothing like the book submitted by ginarae3 on June 15, 2012, 4:03pm I love this series of books. I was so excited to watch this movie with my kid, but it was just terrible. Also, it was nothing like the book. If you are looking forward to watching a movie that is from a book you loved this is not it. This movie took the title of the book series and that was about it, all the rest of the plot, the characters, the way they look, their personalities, are mostly invented for this movie only. I found the movie lacking in everything that the book excelled at.

Fun movie submitted by ashflowtuff on June 26, 2012, 3:31pm My kids and I all enjoyed this movie a lot. It is a really good story and nothing inappropriate for kids.

Toothless submitted by Commander Taffy on July 31, 2012, 6:11pm I love how Toothless behaves like a cat, the books are also good.

Great movie for kids and parents submitted by lulumama on July 6, 2013, 7:47pm Great movie with a good morale and very funny. The adults enjoyed it as much as the kids. Really nice animation too. Highly recommend.

Need a sequel submitted by ahenk on July 9, 2013, 2:15pm This is one of my all time favorite movies. I need a sequel!

Dragons are friends submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on July 23, 2013, 11:31pm This is a really fun movie with a great message: that you don't have to be the big, strong, popular boy to save the day. This movie includes a geeky boy as the protagonist and a strong girl helps him in his quest to save their village.
The movie also has a great message about not making assumptions about people or animals, nor giving up on anyone just because they are difficult. I also like the fact that brains, rather than brawn, save the village.

Great for children and parents alike submitted by cbrewster on August 14, 2013, 12:32am I get very excited when I can find a movie that my child and I both really enjoy! Great story about a boy who does not fit in, but stays true to himself and in the end everyone respects him for it.

As an Instructional Video... submitted by Steve Amick on August 30, 2013, 10:21pm Entertaining, yet afterward, I still felt little confidence in my ability to tame a dragon. As educational material, in that regard, it failed. I did, however, learn that Vikings sounded like they were from Glasgow. Fun fact.

cool submitted by iamnotonfire on December 11, 2013, 9:13am This book does not whatsoever follow the book. Its a good movie though just saying IT DOESN'T FOLLOW THE BOOK. His dragon is SO SO SO SO SO CUTE!

Good Movie submitted by 23lisq on June 16, 2014, 10:35pm My kids liked the beginning, but lost interest toward the end. Looking forward to the part 2.

Great Movie, but a Lots of Violence submitted by j9hutch on June 21, 2014, 2:30am I really enjoyed this movie and it was fine for my son when he got older, but I felt like there was too much violence, suspense and scary stuff for him before he was 8 or 9. I would not recommend this movie for younger kids. I'm pretty conservative in that realm and my kids have always been pretty sensitive to such things though, so keep that in mind when considering my review.

Better Than I Thought submitted by jarroyo on June 23, 2014, 9:39am This movie was better than I thought it would be. I had been told it wasn't very good, but my kids and I enjoyed it. It was a cute movie.

amazing submitted by chioma on July 8, 2014, 1:45pm This is a really amazing movie. It has all the qualities that a movie might need to make it the best!

Best movie ever submitted by ifechijie on July 10, 2014, 1:08pm This movie is the best movie ever! I see reviews in the catalog and all they say is great, or cool or something like that just to earn summer game points; but this movie is something to write an essay about. It is actually heartwarming, not sad. The music is great and the plot is perfect. The first, and so far the only, movie to make me cry of sadness, then happiness, then a loss but I'm just happy that Hiccup is alive, then everyone in the village finds out that Hiccup is right about dragons, then the movie closes with a perfect speech and perfect music, and you want to cry but tear a pillow apart at the same time because you don't want it to end but you know that if they continue the movie or make a second one, it won't top the first one and then you'll hate the series forever; but I've heard that the second movie is good too, so I want to see it but I'm really afraid that it won't be as good as the first one. They say that frozen is the best movie but I think that that is TOTALLY WRONG! This one is. Frozen's plot takes to lond=g to get to the climax and the climax is a fail. Oh no, my sister is frozen, waaaaa. What? She's melting, yay! When was hugging an act of true love?!! This movie is the best.

amazing submitted by sarading2013 on July 28, 2014, 11:50am Our family all love the movie. The pictures and the characters and the stories all amazing.

We really liked this movie. submitted by tbbrown76 on July 28, 2014, 6:11pm It starts out a bit slow, but stick with it. It really heats up. :)

Misfits Fit submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on August 8, 2014, 12:29am I was blown away by this movie, really didn't expect it to be so great. It is wonderful to see a character who not only has a disability but is also (partially because of it) something of a social outlier. But brave, smart Hiccup carves out his own niche in a fantasy-Viking society. The dragon designs are varied and feel fresh and unique. It was especially cool to watch Toothless, a dragon with rather feline influences - like a black panther dragon. It is funny and has emotional resonance, but mostly it is a coming-of-age story wrapped in a grand adventure. The visuals are really impressive as well - soaring on dragonback has never looked better.

Ehh submitted by Redgy1 on June 13, 2015, 11:15am It was pretty good

Loved it submitted by lawrencekl57 on June 28, 2015, 7:08pm I enjoyed this movie because it showed that there are two sides to every conflict.

Good movie submitted by leenajong on July 9, 2015, 7:56am A good family movie. We really enjoyed watching it.

Great submitted by naetdoc on August 10, 2018, 1:23am I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and exciting. I would recommend you watch it.

Great submitted by anacoluthon on August 18, 2018, 12:56pm I loved the character designs! Especially Toothless' movements being modeled off a cat's.

Fun for All Ages submitted by demanuela on June 21, 2019, 12:30am This movie has a cute, heartfelt, story that will make you want to laugh and cry all at the same time. It has a wonderful sense of humor and beautiful animation.

So Much to like submitted by gem on August 3, 2019, 9:12am I liked the movie and thought the characters believable. They evoked all kinds of emotions as I watched the film. Worth the watch.

Enjoyable but nothing like the book submitted by hjafuller on August 24, 2019, 11:43am My family enjoyed this movie, but it’s very different from the book. It seems like they just kept the character names and the idea of dragons.

How to Train Your Dragon submitted by crp on August 29, 2019, 2:40pm A must watchfor all kids and adults alike.

How to Train your dragon submitted by helenboyle on June 15, 2020, 12:01pm I love this movie.
