The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village&#8217;s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup&#8217;s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Director <\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/?s=Dean+DeBlois\">Dean DeBlois <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Producer<\/strong> : <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/?s=marc+platt\">Marc Platt<\/a>, Adam Siegel<\/p>\n<p><strong>Screenwriter<\/strong> : Dean DeBlois<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distributor<\/strong> : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.universalpictures.com\/\">Universal Pictures <\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Production Co<\/strong> : Universal Pictures, Marc Platt Productions<\/p>\n<p><strong> Rating<\/strong> : PG (Sequences of Intense Action|Peril)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Genre<\/strong> : Kids &amp; Family, Fantasy, Adventure, Action, Comedy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Original Language<\/strong> : English<\/p>\n<p><strong>Release Date (Theaters)<\/strong> : Jun 13, 2025, Wide<\/p>\n<p><strong>Runtime<\/strong> : 2h 5m<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you like the video review, share your thoughts below!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/serena-davanzoyahoo-com\/\">Check out more of Serena&#8217;s articles.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the trailer of the film.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"22w7z_lT6YM\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Train Your Dragon | Official Trailer\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/22w7z_lT6YM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out more of our YouTube Channel\u00a0 Serena Davanzo, a Pennsylvania native, graduated from The Pennsylvania State University with a BA in Journalism and a BA in Theatre in December 2022.
