How to Train Your DragonHow to Train Your Dragon is a computer-animated fantasy movie loosely based on the 2003 children's novel of the same title, which was written by British author Cressida Cowell.

The story takes place in a mythical Viking world where a hapless young Viking named "Hiccup" aspires to follow his tribe's tradition of becoming a dragon slayer. After finally capturing his first dragon (Toothless), and with his chance at finally gaining the tribe's acceptance, he finds that he no longer has the desire to kill it and instead befriends it.

The movie was directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. It stars the voice talents of Jay Baruchel (Hiccup), America Ferrera (Astrid), Gerard Butler (Stoick), Craig Ferguson (Gobber), Jonah Hill (Snotlout), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Fishlegs), Kristen Wiig (Ruffnut) and T.J. Miller (Tuffnut).

How to Train Your Dragon was released on March 26, 2010 by DreamWorks Animation and topped the North American box office in its first weekend of release.
