I really liked this one, but it is very dark. I also didn't like how she addressed the constant abuse of Hiccup by Snotlout. There was a scene where Snotlout accused hiccup of "making" him be mean, and it wasn't handled well (hiccup apologizes). Someone needed to say that it wasn't hiccup's fault - because kids who go through bullying and abuse need to know it's not their fault
