    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The hesitation Toothless shows during the famous "touch" scene was actually an animation error. However, it looked so perfect that the animators chose to leave it in the film.
    • Goofs
      The Vikings' accent is Scottish, not Scandinavian. However, the Vikings settled large portions of Scotland, including the Inner Hebrides where the fictitious colony of Berk is shown to be located, and this is the movie's way of reminding us of this.
    • Quotes

      Hiccup: [about the Night Fury] I really did hit one.

      Gobber: Sure.

      Hiccup: He never listens!

      Gobber: Well, it runs in the family.

      Hiccup: And when he does, it's always with this... disappointed scowl, like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich.

      [imitating]

      Hiccup: "Excuse me, barmaid! I'm afraid you brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered an extra-large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side. This here, this is a talking fish-bone!"

      Gobber: Now, you're thinkin' about this all wrong. It's not so much what you *look* like, it's what's *inside* that he can't stand.

      [pause]

      Hiccup: [sarcastic] Thank you for summing that up.

      Gobber: Look the point is, stop trying so hard to be something you're not!

      Hiccup: I just wanna be one of you guys!

    A heartfelt movie with a beautiful message
    There are a lot of excellent reviews out there, I will just discuss a single point. What got to me the most in this movie is the message I got out of it, I got it from a single line uttered by the hero and it just burned in my memory, it's about how when we look deep in the eyes of our enemies -the ones we fear the most- we will see that they are afraid of us just as we are afraid of them, we might realize their humanity and that they are not what we thought, monsters.

    This is definitely one of the best 2 animation movies this year, with Toy Story 3 being the other one, tough job for the academy awards this year, and hope this is the case every year.

    It's nice to see beautiful animation movies challenging Pixar's, it definitely benefits the viewer the most. How to train your dragon - Highly Recommended.
