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.

The film also stars Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).
How to Train Your Dragon is written, produced and directed by DeBlois. It is also produced by three-time Oscar® nominee Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns). How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX® Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX® technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world.

Inspired by Cressida Cowell’s New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated global audiences, earning four Academy Award® nominations and grossing more than $1.6 billion at the global box-office. Now, through cutting-edge visual effects, DeBlois transforms his beloved animated saga into a breathtaking live-action spectacle, bringing the epic adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life with jaw-dropping realism as they discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny.

Man, it feels so good hearing John Powell's Test Drive Score again!!!!

[Iansurgent]

I don't want to get my hopes up, but this fills me with that most dangerous emotion: HOPE.

[Glitchrocube]

Hearing the soundtrack with a live action landscape is just beautiful 🥹

[MandoGamer]

They said this wouldn’t be a shot for shot remake but at this point, I don’t care. Please do not ruin this movie, How to train your Dragon and go to my favorite movies and this live action needs to be good. Please do not fumble this movie like Disney fumbles everything.

[UncleWavey]

The CGI is absolutely beautiful. Take notes Snow White

[henri]

The "Test Drive" scene has to be epic 🎉

[karkoutheweirdo]

0:17 IT'S BACK! TEST DRIVE IS BACK!!!

Stoick's quote from the original film best describes how I feel about this: Odin, help us. (And I don't mean that in an excited way, I mean it in a 'this is probably gonna stink' way.)

[monster-mecha_enthusiast_]

Didn't see this comin', but I'll take it lol.

This and Lilo & Stitch 25' are definitely are on my watch-list, plus Stitch and Toothless being my 2 favorite characters ever since I was a kid has also inspired me to make an OC duo based on them too😄

[NightFuryLover]

At least the music is on point! We even got the Red Death!

[tkfarms]

It's honestly kind of hard to get excited for all of these scenes because it's literally a one-to-one for everything we've already seen before. But it will sell ridiculous amounts of tickets and get butts in seats, which is probably the only reason this live-action remake exists.

[Max_Studios-ti]

Disney: let’s make a remake but change the story
Universal: let’s make a remake.

[williehampton]

Ok, as unnecessary as this is, this honestly has more heart, soul and passion than any live action remake from Disney. Universal cooked with this!

[CrzyVoices]

I was screaming. This movie is literally my childhood

[katai]

THE RED DEATH, the test drive is really well done, I can't wait to see it in the theater

[Chaotic-Edits]

They did really good on the CGI. A lot better than Disney that's for sure.

[KITTYUHH__]

okay, Astrid’s voice kinda matches, but the look? It’s not like the animated Astrid, but at least it has her braid

[MattPeters-rsyp]

Why did we need this? The original How to Train Your Dragon is a masterpiece! The animation is beautiful, do we need this??!!

[Lexafied]

It made me so happy to hear HTTYD’s iconic Test Drive soundtrack 🥺

[Lil-y]

I missed it on the Super Bowl!! I’m here now I’m here now😮‍💨
