When Hiccup and Toothless discover an ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace.
It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.Written by

Goofs
During the first two times when Hiccup flies with his flight suit, something appears in front of him, requiring Toothless to save him. However, Hiccup could have just turned around or gone straight down until Toothless could reach him, rather than panic helplessly while flying towards the impending object. See more »

Hiccup:
[narrating]
This is Berk, the best kept secret this side of, well, anywhere. Granted, it may not look like much, but this wet heap of rock packs more than a few surprises. Life here is amazing, just not for the faint of heart. You see, where most folks enjoy hobbies like whittling or needlepoint, we Berkians prefer a little something we like to call... DRAGON RACING!

Crazy Credits
Like the first film, they are no opening credits. The title of the film doesn't show up until the very beginning of the credits. See more »
I LOVE the first movie. My favourite animated film, outside of Disney, of all time and I was worried that this might not hold up to the original.
I was wrong.
I'm still in two minds if it is better than the original though.
One thing that astounds me is the detail. The effects are absolutely mind-blowing and very thorough. There are some shots of Toothless where you can see the detail in his scales, including sometimes dirt and scars.
The original voice cast is back and still awesome, the story is amazing, the effects are jaw dropping and the score fits with the film perfectly.
This movie has everything in just over 100 minutes; action, adventure, laughs, tears for every one of all ages.
I just have one complaint
I DON'T WANNA WAIT JUST OVER THREE YEARS FOR THE NEXT FILM!!!
