Dragons: Riders of Berk

Show Summary

RETURNING SEPTEMBER 10, 2013

Based on the hit book by Cressida Cowell and film of the same name about a Viking who becomes friends with a dragon.

Dragons: Riders of Berk is a treat for children and adults alike. Taking us from the point where the movie left us wanting more, it now takes us into the world of The Dragon Academy where Hiccup and his friends begin theirs and the dragons training. The dragons have become accustomed to the vikings and... well they just want to have fun. Fun for a dragon means headaches for the vikings, the dragons like to scare the other animals and breathe fire on just about anything else, after all... dragons just like to have fun. Stoick, father of Hiccup has declared that Hiccup start an academy for training the unruly dragons, thus the beginning of Dragons: Riders of Berk.

Come with us into the world of dragon training and watch as Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, the twins Ruffnut & Tuffnut, and of course Toothless and the other dragons not only go on adventures but also battle the likes of the viking Outcast Tribe who are led by Alvin the Treacherous, however there are other villains, which include those within the village of Berk and those who appear as if they are friends of the residents of Berk. The show is great entertainment for the whole family.

  • One of the better shows out there in TV wasteland.

    Very nice show based on he movie. But one major issue with the whole show and movie was the accents of the characters. They do not fit the Viking style. They sound more like Scots like they should be training the Loc ness monster or something.
  • A good show that deserves all of its praise.

    This show is a marvel of animation. I really loved watching the dragons in action again after two years. It has spectacular animation like I said before, and the show's plot and characters aren't ridiculous like most spin-off shows! If you're a wimp like me, you'll find that Hiccup is quite a relatable character, and Toothless will grow on you if you've ever had a pet before. The supporting cast and dragons all do their jobs very well, and giving Stoick a dragon of his own was an overall good decision. The one gripe I have with this show is that the dialogue will kind of make you cringe. I'm not saying it's bad writing, but some of the lines are a bit corny, and combined with the characters' Scandinavian accents, will make for some strange bits of awkwardness, eye-rolling, or cringing. Overall though, this show is a worthy spin-off to the original movie, and one of the better shows on Cartoon Network.

  • Very promising

    I totally enjoyed the movie and the animation was well up to par with what Pixar makes. Based on the first few episodes so far, the animation is probably as good as the movie (no major reduction of detail as if to make a cheap direct to dvd show).

    Even though each story has a moral at the end, it doesn't feel too dumbed down like so many other kids shows have become :cough:thomas the tank engine:cough: This show has some good action scenes and the dragons look pretty neat. It's a decent kids show that I'd recommend to younger kids without having to be too bored to death.moreless
