Tonight, I revisited a classic: How to Train Your Dragon. Even after multiple viewings, the magic remains. This animated film introduces us to Hiccup, a Viking teenager who’s more of a misfit than a dragon slayer. In his village, dragons are considered enemies, raiding livestock and causing havoc. Hiccup, in a moment of desperate ambition, manages to down a Night Fury, the most feared dragon of all. But what happens next changes everything he, and his village, believes about dragons. He discovers they are not just beasts, but creatures capable of compassion and understanding.
