Animation, the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Kung Fu Panda” and “The
Croods,” comes the highly anticipated sequel to the Academy Award®-nominated
HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON, based on the children’s book series by Cressida
Cowell. In the thrilling second chapter of the epic trilogy, five years have
passed since the heroic young Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) befriended an
injured dragon and forever changed the way the residents of Berk interact with
the fire-breathers. Now, Vikings and dragons live side-by-side in peace on the
fantastical isle that has been transformed into a dragon’s paradise.
But when grown-up
responsibilities loom on the horizon, Hiccup and his faithful dragon Toothless
take to the skies in search of answers. It’s much more than he bargained for,
though, when Hiccup discovers that a mysterious dragon rider is really his
long-lost mother Valka (Academy Award®-winning actress Cate
Blanchett) and that the peace between dragons and Vikings is threatened by the
power-hungry Drago (Academy Award-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou) with help
from the dragon trapper Eret, son of Eret (“Game of Thrones” actor Kit
Harington).
As Astrid (America
Ferrera), Gobber (Craig Ferguson) and Viking friends Snotlout (Jonah Hill),
Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and twins Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) and
Tuffnut (T.J. Miller), lend their support, Hiccup, his mother and tribal chief
father Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), must work together to protect the
dragons they have grown to love. In the process, Hiccup finds the answers he
has been looking for in ways he could never have imagined.
