What it is
In this DreamWorks animated film, Hiccup is a teenage Viking misfit in the village of Berk, where people fight the dragons that raid it. He wants to prove himself to his chief father, Stoick, and injures a rare Night Fury dragon, but he can't bring himself to kill it, so he befriends it instead and names it Toothless.
