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.

How to train your dragon goes paw patrol

Little kids only

As a fan of the How To Train Series, I gave this a try. It's not nothing like the original it spins off of. This is geared towards kids 8 and under. Don't expect the characters to look like or even be "drawn" like the ones from How To because these are just for little kids!!
The dragons talk in this unlike before & I think it just hurts this!! The dragons not being able to talk made the Communication with the humans much better. The looks & sounds Toothless would give are prefect, funny & understandable. This talking just makes it easier for the little kids.
I do not say adults should watch this.
Good clean fun

Good for young viewers

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.
Give us MORE!

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.

Great attention to detail! Impressive! An entire family favorite!

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.

Fantastic show for little kids

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.

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.
