This is one of my favorite shows to share with my kids! I’ve always been a fantasy fanatic and who doesn’t love dragons? We each have our favorite characters, though I am always on Astrid’s side as she is the only girl dragonrider. There is always some lesson they are learning as it is as new to them as it seems to the viewer. Since they are teens themselves, it is easy for kids to relate to them and the issues they have with family, friends and themselves. And I love watching how the story unfolded after the film and before the next, it is really great to be a part of it all with my kids!
