Based on Cressida Cowell’s novel, “How to Train Your Dragon” came to us from the filmmakers of “Madagaskar” and “Kung Fu Panda". The film is a mix of genres, including action, fantasy, comedy and 3D animation, narrating a breathtaking story from the times, when Vikings and Dragons inhabited the planet.

The main hero Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) is a young Viking, who can’t find a common language with his native tribe, the traditions of which include killing dragons. Hiccup doesn’t at all fit the group of dragon killers, led by Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler) and including his father as one of them. But he takes part in their fights against dragons, as he wants to please his dad. A young girl Astrid (America Ferrera), who also trains with Hiccup, has a quite different temperament – she is way too aggressive and strong comparing to Hiccup.

Everything changes in his life, when Hiccup suddenly meets an injured dragon, talks to him and unexpectedly for himself becomes friends with him. Now the young hero has to hide their friendship from everybody, and from his father especially.

The film has plenty of beautiful scenes, created not only for entertainment, but containing life lessons. The film will be equally interested for kids, teenagers and adults.
