How to Train Your Dragon

Dir. Chris Sanders & Dean DeBlois · United States of America · English

What started as fire and fury will become friendship.

What happens

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.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"On the whole, the live-action How to Train Your Drag­on plays it extreme­ly safe. It’s per­fect­ly pass­able, but only because it close­ly mir­rors a nar­ra­tive that’s already well-loved."

— Yasmine Kandil

"Exhilarating and wholehearted, it’s less a standalone achievement than a special edition of an old favourite."

— Andrew Osmond
