It's Doug's birthday! As a special surprise gift to him, we're taking to the skies with Toothless and Hiccup to cover one his favorite movies that Derek has never seen -- 2010's How to Train Your Dragon! We talk about this movie's unique depiction of cat-like dragons with bizarre designs, the very 2010 cast, gay bear icon director Dean DeBlois and some of the queer themes he brought to this Viking society, and the ways Dreamworks differs from Pixar (and how we're NOT doing a Dreamworks podcast, dammit!)
Check out our Special Presentation miniseries featuring non-Pixar movies and television aimed at children and families that include clear, unafraid, and unambiguous depictions of queerness.
