TV series -- 2015 -- Netflix
Animated series between the first How to Train Your Dragon film and the sequel -- not the 2025 live-action movie. Hiccup and Toothless hunt new dragons. Dagur the Deranged breaks out of prison and wants revenge. This first episode ends on a sinking ship with friends in cages. Part 2 is next.

Dagur walks out of prison with a key in his lunch. He knocks guards down and says he is coming for Hiccup. This is the cartoon series, years after the first film: Hiccup still has the metal foot, Toothless still needs the tail fin. Astrid has joined the Berk Guard. Then a ship graveyard, giant screaming eels, a boat stuffed with traps, and the episode stops while the Reaper is sinking.
Dagur beats guards and a man who helped him. Johann is thrown off a ship. Fog, wrecks, giant eels drag a deck under; Astrid falls in. The Reaper is full of traps and dragon bones in cages. Dagur cages the riders, takes the Dragon Eye, and holes the ship. Credits on a sink. You need Part 2 for the save.
4-6. Not a fit. Prison, eels, cages, and a stop mid-drown, however cartoony the dragons.
7-9. Seven is the floor and still needs you. Pause for Dagur, the eels, and the last hole in the hull. Do not leave them on the cliffhanger if sinking ships stick.
10-12. Ten still needs you nearby. They can follow a hunt for Dagur and still want the eels skipped. Eleven and twelve are more often ok. Play Part 2 the same sitting.
Counts are how often that theme shows up in the notes -- not when it happens.
We would not put this on for a child under 7 and leave the room. Plan to sit with them at least until 10. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.
