How to Train Your Dragon is based partially on the British novelist Cressida Cowell's book series of the same name. The three feature films of the franchise are: How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Universal Pictures plans to release a live-action version of the original movie in June 2025.
The main plot centers on the exploits of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a teenage Viking (voiced by Jay Baruchel), who is the son of Stoick the Vast, the ruler of Berk. With Toothless, a rare member of the Night Fury breed, as his flying ride and best buddy, he rapidly establishes himself as a brave dragon expert despite initially being portrayed as an awkward and underweight misfit.
