I don\u0026#039;t think a lot of people know this, but \u0026quot;How To Train Your Dragon,\u0026quot; yes the DreamWorks Animation film, is actually based on a novel of the same name by Cressida Cowel. Unfortunately, apart from the name of the film and the names of the characters, the two actually have very little in common, which is quite a disappointment for fans of the books. How To Train Your Dragon is actually the first book in the series, which has since grown to twelve books. Some of my favorites, aside from How To Train Your Dragon, are \u0026quot;How to Twist a Dragon\u0026#039;s Tale,\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;How To Steal a Dragon\u0026#039;s Sword.\u0026quot; I know that a lot of children love the movie and the books are primarily aimed at children (although some of the later ones do get very dark at times,) but I can\u0026#039;t help feeling that a more faithful adaptation would have been even better. Anyway, my point isn\u0026#039;t so much that the books didn\u0026#039;t translate well to a movie, but that the movie squandered a lot of the potential of the books and decided to go its own route. Nothing wrong with this, but like I said, it did leave some of us fans feeling a little cheated. It\u0026#039;s even worse knowing that a lot of people who love the movie has no idea that it is based on a book that is so much better!\u003C\/div\u003E\n \n \n \u003Cdiv class=\u0022mb-comment-bottom-items\u0022\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\u0022form-group\u0022\u003E\u003Cspan class=\u0022mb-comment-created-date\u0022\u003E01\/05\/2019\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n \u003C\/div\u003E\n \u003Cdiv class=\u0022mb-comment-form\u0022\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/article\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n \u003C\/div\u003E\n \n \n \u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\n \u003C\/div\u003E\n \u003C\/div\u003E","settings":null}]
