Better take notes, because this title is no joke. After all, if the movie didn’t sell the bond between Hiccup and Toothless, there’d be no story. Thankfully, their relationship doesn’t just take flight, it positively soars - both literally and figuratively. Their wholesome dynamic could easily anchor a two hour movie all on its own.

The best part is that, despite its medieval setting, this movie refuses to adhere to a classic formula. The end result is a harrowing tale about friendship destined to be told for generations, and not just among Vikings.
