How to Train Your Dragon.
Yes, I'm late. And I didn't actually finish it, I only got up to the bit where they've just set sail for the dragons' lair with Toothless on board, and Hiccup said he's going to do something crazy.
The Scottish accents on the Vikings annoyed me almost as much as the plain American ones that were reserved for the children. But I guess the story was alright, though it differed vastly from the book, in which the Vikings trained Dragons as pets for generations before the story.
In the book, Hiccup couldn't catch himself a proper dragon like the other kids did, and ended up with a dragon that his friend joked was a near-extinct and more dangerous version of the Monstrous Nightmare - the Toothless Daydream. Needless to say, Hiccup named it Toothless.
So yeah, the plot was vastly different, and the Viking tribe wasn't that of the Hairy Hooligans, which was disappointing, but I guess I've enjoyed what I saw so far.
