Because it seems to me that people hail it as a modern classic simply for being a DWA movie that isn't fueled by celebrity pop culture humor and because of misplaced Lilo & Stitch goodwill
I liked it a lot on its own merits, and so did many, many other people.
Also, "it's overrated" is such a bad reason to hate something.
(Also, "Perfume Garden" is a rather interesting portrait of how people who have endured hideous, abusive British public school educations end up teaching in and sending their children to the exact same schools that screwed up their childhoods.)

Isn't this a bit of a presumptuous reason to find something "overrated?"
Really, I'm not fond of the term overrated because in my experience there is rarely critical consensus on ANYTHING further than something as simple as "it was good/bad." Aside from that, there's rarely any consensus when it comes to degree of goodness/badness.
People are hilariously angry about Putt-Putt on Steam
why
You have to scroll past then sometimes to get to games you are interested in.
That's it, that's the reason
i've been hanging around the steamcommunity forums and i keep seeing topics complaining about how the steam store is horrible these days because there's lots of junk
well
fuck you, most of steam has been junk as far as i'm concerned, anyway so suck it and why are you using the steam store frontpage anyway, other than as a quick way to get to the search best way to discover new games to play is to ask your friends, or roam around the internet around people whose tastes you might like then you just beeline to the store page for the game(s) that you are interested in. store frontpage and store listings are for when you are bored and have nothing better to do
...those i guess if you're posting on steamcommunity.com complaining about the lack of quality games on steam, then you ARE bored

I didn't even associate it with Lilo & Stitch until you told me the link... to me the two properties seem quite dissimilar and i wouldn't have guessed they were related.
I like it because of the creative worldbuilding, the legitimately witty script, the creature design and in particular the way Toothless moves and expresses himself, the simple-but-effective plot, and the development of the relationship between Hiccup and his father.
It's not perfect, but it's a pretty movie, and it's got heart. That's a lot more than you can say for most DWA movies, imo.
Even so, i certainly wouldn't rate it higher than Walt Disney Animation Studios when they're on form. I haven't seen Lilo & Stitch, though, so I can't compare the two.

I would rate it higher, but otherwise I completely agree with all of this.
At their best, I really do think Disney are fantastic, and that their popularity is truly deserved.
Frozen was gorgeous, Tangled too. Older Disney movies like Fantasia, Cinderella and 101 Dalmatians are charming, and rightfully considered classics. The so-called 'Disney renaissance' is certainly enjoying the current wave of 90s nostalgia, but many of those movies are remembered deservedly fondly, as well; The Hunchback of Notre Dame, for instance, still holds up.

It has Vikings and Dragons, two of my favorite things. Admittedly, it isn't a full on demonstration of who the northmen/Danes/Norse were, and can't be bothered to have Scandinavian accents for vikings, and admittedly the main character goes hatless, but Vikings and dragons, man. That makes it automatically liked by me.
The same way I simply cannot dislike Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2, even though it was an artless attempt to cash in on the original by simply copying parts verbatim (when the first film, in the ending credits, calls itself "A film by... a lot of people", it was clever and thoughtful, a generous and creative way to acknowledge the usually unacknowledged workers behind it. When CWACOM 2 in its opening credits called itself " another film by... a lot of people" it was uncreative, thoughtless, and just lazy.) it was trying to be more of the same. but More Of The Same isn't actually the same.
But I cannot dislike CWACOM 2, Because it contains the word "Tacodile".
Tacodile, man.
How do you expect me to hate something with Tacodiles?

does anyone ever concede internet arguments based on other people saying something spectacularly cool or interesting that is only tangentially relevant but is funny enough
like if someone can make a pun that improbably and successfully strings together some number of things that don't go together, but somehow if they are related like that it actually all works out and supports their point then, just to credit the amount of effort they put in and the elegance of their "solution", you give them the win in the argument
i like to do that
we should do that it would be nice more entertaining if the world revolved around that
