Plot
The film is set in a mythical world of Vikings and dragons. The story centers on a Viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor are disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, including a girl, Astrid (America Ferrera), he sees his chance to prove that he has what it takes to be a fighter. After he entangles a dragon with a bolas-shooting cannon, Hiccup releases and befriends the dragon, whom he dubs "Toothless." This relationship flips his world upside-down as he strives to convince his tribe that they don't need to be dragon-slayers but instead ends up angering them, causing them to lead an attack on the dragons' home.
Cast
Jay Baruchel
- as Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III: It's not easy being the brainy son of a brawny Viking, 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 begins an exhilarating and complicated double life.
- as Stoick the Vast: 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.
- as Fishlegs Ingerman: Fishlegs was Hiccup's best friend in the book, but this position seems to have been taken over by Astrid. Fishlegs is nervous and frightened to do perilous things at the best of times. He's big in size, but small in brains. If everyone else is on the same page, you can bet he has the wrong book. And it's probably upside down.
- as Snotlout Jorgenson: He's mean, he's strong, and he smells horrible....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, starts hanging out with "Hiccup the Useless", Snotlout swears vengeance.
- as Astrid Hofferson: 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 double life, Astrid is the first to be suspicious.
- as Gobber the Belch: 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.
- as Tuffnut and Ruffnut Thorston. 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 dangerous fun.
- as Spitelout: Cross has previously narrated a series of Hiccup adventures on audio book.
