The story takes place in a mythical Viking world where a young Viking teenager named "Hiccup" aspires to follow his tribe's tradition of becoming a dragon slayer. After finally capturing his first dragon, 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 film was released March 26, 2010, to near universal acclaim.
Development
In initial development, the plot followed the original novel closely but was then altered. About halfway through production, Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the writer-directors of Disney's Lilo & Stitch, took over as co-directors. The original plot was "heavily loyal to the book", but was regarded as geared to a too-young demographic and too "sweet" and "whimsical", according to Baruchel. In the novel, Hiccup's dragon, Toothless, is incredibly small for a dragon. In the film, Toothless is a Night Fury, the rarest of all dragons, and is large enough to serve as a flying mount for both Hiccup and Astrid.The filmmakers hired cinematographer Roger Deakins (known for frequently collaborating with the Coen brothers) as a visual consultant to help them with lighting and overall look of the movie and "add a live-action feel".
Dragon Species
The rarest and most intelligent of the dragon species.It can fly higher, faster and longer than any dragon, and its incredible power-to-weight ratio renders it capable of vertical takeoff.
This dragon can attack any time of the day or night, from the air or on the ground.It is highly aggressive, and will never run from a fight.
Gronckle are lazy.They are slow in the air, but make up for this with their maneuverability. A Gronckle can fly backwards, sideways, and even hover. Gronckles attack from the air, where their primary weapon is most effective
Perhaps the most beautiful dragon. Nadders are quick and agile in the air and can fly for long distances.The blast of a Nadder can melt steel, or turn a man to ash in seconds. It possesses the hottest fire in the dragon world.
The Zippeback is one of the largest dragons one may ever encounter.Zippelbacks are solitary, preferring to hunt alone.Instead of breathing fire, a Zippel makes explosions. One head breathes gas, and the other head ignites it.
Smallest of the dragons is the Terrible Terror. The largest on record was a mob of Terrors over two hundred strong.even the strongest Viking can be overwhelmed, and the biggest sheep can be stolen.
