Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild

dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell,
this action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a
Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his

slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when
he encounters a dragon that challenges he and
fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely
different point of view.
