Quite possibly the greatest animated
trilogy to exist. The story of an outcast
Viking teen and a
downed dragon of night and their unlikely friendship that transforms the world around them.
Example:
(From the
epilogue of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World)
Hiccup: There were dragons when I was a boy...Oh, there were great grim sky dragons that
nested on the clifftops like gigantic, scary birds. Little brown scuttly dragons that hunted down the mice and rats in well-organized packs. Preposterously huge sea dragons twenty times as big as the big
blue whale. Some say that the dragons went back to the sea, leaving not a bone nor
a fang for men to remember them by. Others say they were nothing but folktales to begin with. Eh...
I'm okay with that. Legend says that when the ground
quakes or lava spews from the earth, it's the dragons. Letting us know they're still here, waiting for us to get along. Yes, the world believes that the dragons are gone, if they ever existed at all. But we Berkians? We know otherwise. And we'll guard that secret until the time comes when dragons can return in peace.
