I dislike the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. The dragons are pathetic looking and act more like dogs and cats than how dragons should be portrayed, meaning kids won't have any real respect for them as characters. Hiccup is not a very interesting character, we've seen this idiot before. He's a socially awkward scaredy cat and not very bright, but it's ok, he has good heart. He constantly makes a fool of himself but he's just so wide eyed and innocent that you can't help but feel sorry for him. That, combined with much better dragon rider stories I've seen and read, like The Inheritance Cycle, which had characters who were much more competent and respectable from the start, and dragons who were trusted allies and NOT pets, meant I had to dock too many points from what Dreamworks made.
