How to train your Dragon

"This

is Berk. It's twelve days north of Hopeless and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. My village. In a word? Sturdy, and it's been here for seven generations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunset. The only problems are the pests. You see, most places have mice or mosquitoes. We have... Dragons [...] Most people would leave, but not us. We're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues." 

Hiccup is the son of Stoick the vast, chief of the tribe on this island. He has one problem. Well, actually a lot of them, but they can all be summed up in this: He's not viking like. Not that he doesn't want to help fight the dragons. The problem is that whenever he comes in, something bad happens. So to prove his competence, Hiccup decides to kill a dragon. Not much of a problem. Except that he doesn't want to get just any kind of dragon. He wants the ultimate prize. "But the ultimate prize is the dragon no one has ever seen. We call it the-" "Night Fury!" "...This thing never steals food, never shows itself, and never misses.” Despite all this, Hiccup is determined to bring down a night fury. In a battle with the dragons, he manages to approximate the night fury's position, and brings it down with a net. Does he kill it? No, or the movie would probably be called how to kill your dragon, not How to Train your Dragon. And as the illegal friendship begins, both Hiccup and the night fury have many problems coming their way.

How to Train your dragons is a movie featuring lots of fire, combat, and everything from weird to cool to random and funny between the vikings and dragons. Despite a lot of violence though, there is no real damage done  by dragons or vikings, even when beating with hammers, or clawing faces. Except for that toothless loses part of a steering wing. And, (Spoilers) Hiccup ends up losing a foot.

Because of its unusual ideas, HtTyD was a big hit, and was widely loved by audiences ranging from little kids to grown-ups. And for people who love dragons - it was basically one of the best movies ever. In the movie, a lot of values are stressed, including family, friends, and loyalty. Hiccup struggles to work with His dragon, Toothless, while maintaining his loyalty to the vikings, his friends and family.  And apart from that, there his crush on Astrid, a Viking girl. All factors combine to form a movie that's half-comedy, half-adventure. And it's great, one of Dreamworks biggest hits.
