As the son of a Viking leader on the cusp of manhood, shy Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III faces a rite of passage: he must kill a dragon to prove his warrior mettle. But after downing a feared dragon, he realizes that he no longer wants to destroy it, and instead befriends the beast – which he names Toothless – much to the chagrin of his warrior father.
Hiccup, a young Viking who doesn't quite fit in with his tribe's dragon-slaying tradition, befriends an injured young dragon he names Toothless. Through their secret friendship, Hiccup learns that dragons are not the mindless beasts his village believes them to be. He must then use what he's learned to prove that humans and dragons can live in peace, even as a greater threat emerges.

**Spoilers ahead** The story was really enjoyable, it is a standard embrace that you are different and you will be stronger. However, I think it works well here. Hiccup is not a strong viking like the rest of his village, but he is very ...

First of all, the animation in this is spectacular. All the scenery in the film looks like something you could find in real life. The action, mainly the climax, and flying shots in this film also show how great the animation is. The main th...
So the movie was great. I wasn't expecting it to be that good actually. I thought it will be one of those movies wherein it turns out just okay because it's not a Disney/Pixar movie. I mean....if it's not a Disney/Pixar movie, don't expect ...
