How To Train Your Dragon - In Theaters June 13
From three-time Oscar® nominee and Golden Globe winner Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, comes a stunning live-action reimagining of the film that launched the beloved franchise.
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society.
With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.
As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

Short filmTranscript
00:01I'm the first Viking in who knows how long who wouldn't kill a dragon.
00:08First to ride one, though.
00:12I love these movies so much.
00:14When I watched it as a kid, I related to Hiccup.
00:17He's such an iconic character, and I'm just so excited to bring one of my childhood heroes to life.
00:23How to Train Your Dragon is about a regular kid who gets to bond with a powerful animal.
00:30There are so many amazing moments watching Toothless learn to trust this boy.
00:36The moments of questioning, the moments of love.
00:40Yeah, look at us!
00:42The animated movie had such a big feel, and this just enlarges, especially on the big screen.
00:47The moment we've all been waiting for.
00:49There is something about stepping into live action where everything becomes that much more believable,
00:54and it really pulls the audience in.
00:57Every decision that's made is just so abundantly filled with love and care towards the original,
01:04and towards the characters, and authentic to what it is, and it's so brilliant.
01:09I've watched it grow from Lillia's seed, and expand, and be cherished.
01:15This is an incredible story, and we felt like we had a whole fresh medium to increase the magic,
01:21the immersion in that world.
01:24It's such a journey.
01:26Yeah!
