DreamWorks Dragons

From the creators of "How to Train Your Dragon" comes a new series that takes Hiccup and Toothless to the edge of adventure.

DreamWorks Dragons (2012-2014) is an American animated fantasy adventure series created by Chris Sanders for Cartoon Network, extending the world of the How to Train Your Dragon films. Jay Baruchel voices Hiccup, a restless young Viking who would rather study dragons than fight them, and his bond with the Night Fury Toothless drives the story. Around them, America Ferrera's Astrid, Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Fishlegs, and T.J. Miller's Tuffnut fill out the young riders of the island village of Berk, while Nolan North voices the gruff chief Stoick the Vast. The engine of each episode is simple and kinetic: a new dragon species, a training exercise, or a threat to the village that the teens must solve with ingenuity and teamwork. The series runs two seasons of twenty episodes each, playing as light serialized adventure with standalone stories inside a shared world. Its tone is bright, playful, and warm, with silly comedy undercutting the action and a steady affection for the dragons themselves, who are designed with real variety. Set in a mythic Norse-inspired archipelago, it suits viewers who want a gentle, colorful adventure. Fans of How to Train Your Dragon, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Gargoyles will find resonance in its blend of young heroes, creature companions, and family-friendly fantasy.

Viewers broadly find the series a fun, well-designed family adventure that holds up on rewatch, with its dragon world the main draw.
