Short description

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's left behind the scenes

There was no warrior girl Astrid in Cressida Cowell's book, but the directors and screenwriters decided that a bright female character was essential. Also, one of the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, was made female in the cartoon.
The film is based on the first books from Cressida Cowell's "How to Train Your Dragon" series (2003-2012).
In the cartoon, Stoick says "those damn creatures still won't give up!", "lead us home, devil!", and "the abyss will open!" These concepts did not exist among pagan Vikings; they only appeared with the advent of Christianity.
