Synopsis

From the studio that produced SHREK, MADAGASCAR and KUNG FU PANDA comes HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON - an adventure comedy set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell. The story revolves around a Viking teenager called Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life.

Initiation is coming, so Hiccup is included in dragon training with the other Viking teens of his tribe. He sees this as his one chance to prove his worthiness to his tribe and father. Gobber, the dragon training instructor, sees the potential in Hiccup's unique skill set, even when his father Stoick (Gerard Butler) does not.

But when Hiccup encounters, and ultimately befriends, an injured dragon, his world is turned upside down along with his entire village.
