    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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!

    this is why you go to the movies
    incredible! certainly the front runner for the best animated film of the year. from the first to the last frame this film is as good as an animated film gets on almost every level. beautifully written, designed and executed. though an incredible movie, it's not quite perfection - probably due to time and budget limitations (is there ever enough of either?). that said, the problems i had are far too few to mention. if dragon doesn't absolutely slay at the box office i'll lose faith in middle America.

    congrats to the filmmakers - you've made a masterpiece and you made me feel like a kid again. thank you.
