With a live-action remake upon us, I guess there's no better time to revisit DreamWorks’ original animated How to Train Your Dragon. Even if it’s been 15 years since its release. A near-perfect example of a fun, breezy, and emotionally resonant animated adventure, the film follows young Viking Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) as he forms a heartwarming bond with the adorable/intimidating dragon Toothless, all while navigating a strained relationship with his father (Gerard Butler) which lies at film's core. Strong voice performances and stunning animation elevate what might be DreamWorks’ most beloved effort. Now with all that in mind, we just need to convince Liam it’s not mid. Then after the review, we discuss your hot takes on the most overrated animated franchises.
