The sole animated trilogy on this list, the “How to Train Your Dragon” trilogy, proved that Disney didn’t have a monopoly on beautifully told stories from 2010 to 2019.
The series, released by DreamWorks Animation, focused on the story of Hiccup, an awkward teenager who discovers that dragons, long-feared by his entire community as raging beasts, aren’t what they seem.
As Hiccup (spoiler) loses his leg at the climax of the film, he is seen using a prosthetic in the next two films, making him a landmark in disability and amputee representation, as reported by The Washington Post.
Additionally, the score for this trilogy is so awe-inspiring that it became a meme on TikTok.
However, the real draw of this series is the absolutely heartwarming bond between Hiccup and his downright adorable dragon, Toothless. They’re best friends! It’s beautiful!
It’s so popular that one of the lands at Universal Studios’ Epic Universe is the Isle of Berk, where you can meet all your favorite characters in real life — even Toothless.
All three “How to Train Your Dragon” movies are streaming on Peacock. The first one is also available on HBO Max.
