How to Train Your Dragon also got an “A” audience score from recent screenings, very solid in the context of that measurement. Generally speaking, these live-action adaptations have been more well-received by audiences than perhaps sometimes-jaded critics who are not amused with seeing these 10–30-year-old movies recycled into box office churn. But for many families, it’s a way to show these classics in an updated format to their kids for the first time or to get a hit of nostalgia for themselves. 

But we all know how people here hate family movies, lol
