Therapist Reacts to HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

Why do Hiccup and Stoick struggle so much to connect with each other?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright talk about the father-son relationship in the How to Train Your Dragon movies. They talk about how Jay Baruchel's Hiccup and Gerard Butler's Stoick are so different from each other, how Hiccup feels like he doesn't fit in or live up to his dad's expectations, and the journey of how they come to understand each other. And of course how absolutely beautiful the animation and music are and how awesome the script is. Also, there are dragons, and tears.
