The 2010 film How to Train Your Dragon was released in 2010.
DreamWorks Animation produced the film as a 3D computer-animated fantasy adventure. It is loosely based on Cressida Cowell’s book series, but the film created its own versions of the characters, dragons, setting, and central storyline.
The story follows Hiccup, a Viking teenager who befriends Toothless, a dragon he was expected to fight. Their relationship changes how the people of Berk understand dragons and eventually transforms the island’s society.
The film became the first entry in a trilogy. How to Train Your Dragon 2 followed in 2014, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World completed the animated trilogy in 2019. The first film was also recognized with an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film.
