I had grown up with and loved the HTTYD series, so I wanted a movie to emulate the book. I surprised myself when I wholeheartedly loved the movie despite it being completely different. The two stories are almost so different it is hard to even compare them. In the end, Cowell’s HTTYD is much better suited for paper and DreamWorks HTTYD is much better suited for film and I’m not sure if it could have worked any other way. They are their own entities, and both are fantastic in their own way.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’m glad I’m not the only to notice the recurring use of protagonists narrating their own films.
