“From the creator of Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar, this is a Viking adventure story with dragons, swords and moral lessons. The action takes place on a mythical island, Berk, in a village which has always been in a continuous re-building because of the permanent attacks. We found out that the war between Vikings and dragons has prevailed since.. forever, and people have many times set sail to the sea hoping and trusting to find the dragons’ nest and destroy it for good. Here, everybody trained for killing the different species of dragons who attacked by spiting fire, snatching livestock and basically ravaging everything in sight. Everybody, except one: Hiccup, the son of the brave and stubborn Viking Chief, Stoick the Vast. He is an apprentice at his father’s trusted companion’s blacksmith house and always kept away from combat, as his proportions are far from being imposing or aggressive. In a very nasty raid of the dragons, Hiccup injured a very feared dragon, a Night Furry, which falls somewhere on the island and remains trapped, as a part of his tail got broken from his catapult, so it cannot fly anymore. The boy discovers the dragon and from this point on a very special relation is established between the two, the plot being concentrated from now on, around Hiccup and Toothless.
