Which studio produced the animated film How to Train Your Dragon?

The story behind the answer

DreamWorks Animation produced the animated film How to Train Your Dragon.

Released in 2010, How to Train Your Dragon was produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film adapted ideas from Cressida Cowell’s children’s book series while creating a substantially different cinematic story centered on Hiccup and Toothless.

The production helped establish the franchise as one of DreamWorks Animation’s major original properties. Its combination of aerial action, comedy, family drama, and detailed dragon designs earned strong critical and commercial attention.

DreamWorks Animation is often confused with Paramount because Paramount handled theatrical distribution for the original film. Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios are separate animation companies and did not produce this movie. The franchise later expanded into two more feature films, television series, short films, books, and theme-park attractions.
