As the son of a Viking leader on the cusp of manhood, shy Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III faces a rite of passage: he must kill a dragon to prove his warrior mettle. But after downing a feared dragon, he realizes that he no longer wants to destroy it, and instead befriends the beast – which he names Toothless – much to the chagrin of his warrior father.
Editor's Verdict
"How to Train Your Dragon is an acclaimed fantasy adventure film. None of the established criteria for a Christmas movie are met. The plot centers on Viking rites of passage, dragon-fighting, and unlikely friendship, with no connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography."
