There a lot of great things about How to Train Your Dragon, obviously. One of the best things about it is how little the books and the movies have in common. The plots are different, the characters are different, even a few of the themes are different. And they both have good, interesting characters and plots and themes. This means it's probably the only franchise where I can enjoy both book and movie equally because I enjoy them for different reasons and I'm not constantly comparing them because any comparison is surface level at best. It's kind of like creative writing class when all the students are given the same prompt but they all still come up with different stories based on the prompt.
