The animation is just gorgeous(it looks even better in the second movie). While the movie is far from flawless you can tell how much pain staking hard work was put into this movie. The music alone makes the movie feel titanic in its tone. All the Dragon designs are creative and cool, the side characters are a little weak but in the end they aren't annoying. We have seen a protagonist like Hiccup a few times before but he doesn't feel shoehorned into the movie.

MY BEST ANIMATED MOVIE since ever LOOL .............

With incredible action sequences and flight scenes, at its core it's really just a compassionate and relatable story about a father and son. Baruchel's unique and nasally voice perfectly fits the meekness of Hiccup, and Butler is wonderfully masculine and unsure. Also, it boasts one of the greatest traditional scores of the modern era, brilliantly repeating it's themes by modulating keys and forms where appropriate.

An animated adventure with Vikings and Dragons? And it's funny too? I'm sold! Actually it's also very well animated and features some darker elements about life too, very refreshing for an animation mostly aimed at kids.
