It's a typical kid show and even though the animation style is different compared to the other Dragons shows and movies, it does not disappoint and looks entertaining for kids below 10 and die-hard fans of the HTTYD series like me.

Absolutly brilliant for 4 to 8 year olds. My kids absolutely love it. I hope they make more!

My kids (and me) were big fans of the movies.

This is a great series and good fun (although being Scottish, I find the accents a bit tough to swallow :0).

I like the series, but this, not so much. I do not have young kids at home and do not care if a story is spin-off material as long as it is good. It would be nice to have this show where the last movie left off. A new generation of riders in New Berk. This show misses the mark with me and hoping for something better.

Just finished all the episodes with my family. So great to have something new to watch. Loving the cute dragons. Can not wait for more. Need toys too, can't watch season 2 without fun toys to play with!

The Sick Day episode is our favorite. Very clever and fun episodes we all enjoyed.

If the How to Train You Dragon movies were Michelin Star restaurants (which they aren't but let's use that as the ground-level tier we're striving for here), this is a gas station microwave burrito.

This cheap offshoot bares only the most superficial resemblance to the How to Train Your Dragon movies. At no point are the movies or the characters in them referenced. This series connects to them only in that it has dragons and what passes in US culture for "vikings" in it. The morals are heavy handed, exposition is overused, and the stories are retread.

However, if your child likes talking dragons and vaguely Norse characters, they will love it. It's cheap but easily digested fare with generally uplifting themes and messaging.

Very impressed by the spinoff to HTTYD series. I'm usually an observer, but felt compelled to write a review based on our experience and the comments I have read since this was announced.

First and foremost, thank you for making a series the little ones can relate to and the parents don't have to worry about what they are watching. Your detail to the characters, with the expressions to the adorable freckles is fantastic. The dragon scales and attention to detail of each different dragon is quite beautiful and yet simple for a little one to grasp.

I have been appalled at the rude comments all over the internet regarding this show. The fact that Dreamworks themselves created this with Emmy award winning producers, who have worked on HTTYD, and yet "fans" of the franchise are complaining. This is FOR little kids, but enjoyable for the adults as well. From the animation, to the clever and humorous dialogue, there is something for everyone. This series is BASED on the original books, something a true fan can appreciate. It's time we all respect the fact that the younger generation doesn't need to be desensitized by violence and foul language to enjoy GOOD entertainment.

I am also quite impressed with the young voice cast. There is some true talent there. I don't understand why the talent isn't highlighted much as I think we would genuinely enjoy hearing their experience on what seemed to have been a lengthy production. My littles would love to see some live footage or even attend a meet and great with the cast.

Favorite moments: how the team works together, what trouble they get in or out of, and the valuable lessons are a bonus. Humor and continuity is gold! Cast superb!

Not so favorite: NO TOYS? my 4 year old already added all the characters to her Santa List!! Also , When they are flying to the Roost, it looks static, would love to have seen that change up a bit.

All in all, great show, great message, amazing characters and enjoyable episodes. Highly recommend. And if you are a colleague, a friend or family with littles, you're getting this or a Netflix membership for Christmas from my family.

I loved it. It's cool that we have something new for a change

My 4yo daughter loves this show. She has seen the entire series at least 20 times. Not exagerating.

This show is amazing!!! Please make a film and toys

Rare with a series that both of my boys can watch together and ENJOY without any scary secenes.

Dragons Rescue Riders is a fun and lovable show for everyone. It's sad to see how much hate it gets just because it's not How to Train Your Dragon. It should be judged by the show that it is not compared to a series we all know and love. I would recommend this to families because I feel like I could watch it with the whole family. I rate it 10/10, I love Rescue Riders.

Good Children's program with messages of kindness and acceptance.

My three year old loves it and the quality of the writing is high enough that us parents don't mind watching it either!

Very nice animation to look at, especially the texture of the dragons scales and facial expressions. Great voice acting too by the young cast.
