This is one of those questions that you will never ask in real life. Another one is "Should I trim my nose hair with a pair of pliers?". (Hint: NEVER). For one thing, dragons don't exist and for another, no matter how heart warming this show may be, you should not be going near dragons like how you shouldn't be going near toxic waste or a sexual predator or the president of MCA. Not necessarily in that order.
This really was excellent show with very witty dialog. The script was well written and the story flow was of good quality. It starts out as a very cliche story of a Viking boy (named Hiccup) that doesn't belong to the stereotyped Viking persona. He is weak, scrawny, no inclination to fighting and to make things worse, he is the chief's son. So he is an embarrassment to his dad. To complete the cliche he is trying very hard to impress the village and his father AND he is in love with his generation hottest chick.
Unfortunately for him, a hot Viking chick doesn't shop, do her nails or have a facial. She can kick any boy her age group and she is fighting to be an elite dragon slayer. You see, the problem with Hiccup's village is that it keeps getting raided by dragons. So as the story title goes, good ol' Hiccup adds to his long list of Viking imperfections by finding a lost dragon, befriends it and actually trains it.
That's when things starts to get funny and exciting and it starts going a little off the norm. The story line still follows a very cliched route but with little twists here and there. Also as mentioned, the script is really funny. Only thing was, I found Hiccup voice to be too whiny and wheezy. I really don't see that attracting the hottest chick in your village.
While it's really for kids, I highly recommend it for adults with a good sense of fun, humour and wanting-to-get-out-of-the-damn-house as your kids are just driving you up the wall and with your dog just peeing everywhere. So go check it out and hopefully you get some tips in training your pet or your spouse.
