How To Train Your Dragon - a Dreamworks animation which they didn't just fill with tropes the kids won't understand to keep the parents amused. And today the 7yo and I watched the first six episodes of the TV animation that comes next in the story, Dreamworks Dragons. It's really pretty good and Freda laughed like a drain. You and your kid will enjoy it. Second movie is out shortly.

I ran it by her because she's been playing the online School of Dragons game (requires Unity Web Player). Literally the first activity in the game is to teach the player a version of the scientific method, as are several subsequent activities. I thoroughly approve of putting that into a 7yo's head.
