How to Train Your Dragon

Ranked #1,657 in Entertainment, #17,763 overall

Let the training commence!!

Welcome to Burke, a typical Viking village. You know. Vikings. As in only the strong belong. And if you're the smart brainy type, well, you don't exactly fit in.

That's the situation Hiccup finds himself in. Only, it's worse. Because Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is the son of Stoick the Vast, chief of the village and the ultimate Viking. And doesn't quite understand his brainy son. So Stoick is packing Hiccup off for some training in the hopes of toughening him up.

Add in his dimwitted friend Fishlegs, girl he wants to impress Astrid, obnoxious nemesis Snotlout, and an injured dragon and Hiccup's life is about to get really complicated.

Based on the book How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell with a few (OK, a lot of) changes to the book's story.

It's Halloween Time!!
Get your dragon on with a costume for one of the dragons or by dressing like a Viking! Lots of choices, including costumes for Hiccup and Astrid.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third

Voiced by Jay Baruchel

It's not easy being the brain son of a brawny Viking chief, but hiccup is too smart to waste time feeling sorry for himself - he's going to become a Viking warrior his own way. Unfortunately, in the crude world of the Vikings, Hiccup's sophisticated observations and wry sense of humor only serve to make him even more of an outsider. When Hiccup befriends his vicious enemy, an injured wild dragon, he beings and exhilarating and complicated double life.

Hiccup has a dragon. A trained dragon. This could be a problem. 

Stoick the Vast

Voiced by Gerard Butler

Stoick is the old-school chieftain of the brawny Viking tribe. A reluctant and confused parent at best, he doesn't understand his clever son. Hoping to bring out the man in his boy, Stoick sends Hiccup into Dragon training, a dangerous test of battle strength.

Fishlegs Ingerman

Voiced by Christopher Mintz-Plasse

Fishlegs is big in size but small in brains. If everyone else is on the same page, you can bet that he has the wrong book. And it's probably upside down.

Astrid Hofferson

Voiced by America Ferrera

Striking, energetic and tough, Astrid embodies the Viking way. Her competitive, determined persona makes her hard to impress, but Hiccup can't help but be smitten. When Hiccup begins to show the strain of leading his secret double life, Astrid is the first to become suspicious.

Snotlout Jorgenson

Voiced by Jonah Hill

He's mean, he's strong, he's dumb, and he smells horrible %u2026 in other words, he's the perfect Viking. In a village where "only the strong can belong!" he belongs, big time. But when "his girl" Astrid, begins paying attention to "Hiccup the Useless", Snotlout wears vengeance.

Gobber the Belch

Voiced by Craig Ferguson

Gruff, grumpy and crass, Gobber is the seasoned warrior appointed to drill the new recruits. Gobber means well, but he's full of bad advice, which he dispenses freely and comically.

Tuffnut and Ruffnut Thorston

Voiced by T.J. Miller and Kristen Wiig

Tuffnut, a boy, and Ruffnut, a girl, are fraternal twins. Both are fiendish thugs with ferocious intents and foul tempers, especially regarding each other. Viking adrenaline-junkies, no situation is too risky for their kind of outrageous fun.
