How to Train Your Dragon is a 2025 live-action fantasy adventure from Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation, written and directed by Dean DeBlois, who co-wrote and co-directed the beloved animated trilogy it reimagines. It stands as DreamWorks Animation's first live-action feature, with DeBlois returning to translate the 2010 original into flesh, scale, and photoreal dragons while keeping its emotional core intact.
Set on the rugged Viking island of Berk, where humans and dragons have warred for generations, the story follows Hiccup (Mason Thames), the inventive, underestimated son of chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler). When Hiccup secretly befriends a wounded Night Fury he names Toothless, their bond overturns everything his people believe about dragons and threatens the only way of life Berk has ever known. Nico Parker co-stars as Astrid, with Nick Frost as Gobber and Julian Dennison as Fishlegs.
Released in June 2025, the remake earned an "A" CinemaScore matching the original animated film and grossed more than $630 million worldwide, launching a new live-action franchise. Critics praised its faithful spectacle and John Powell's returning score, even as some felt it hewed closely to its predecessor. It is streaming on Peacock.
