Meet Hickup, a hapless young viking ( voiced by Jay Baruchel) he lives in an isolated village where the pests happen to be dragons! Hickup is not a strong and tough young viking. No he's more of a thinker albeit a fairly clumsy one! His father is the village chief and he's not particularly proud of his hapless son who is not the strong and fiery son he imagined he'd have! One day he manages to shoot down a dragon though. But there are no witnesses so nobody believes him. The next morning Hickup finds the dragon. He wants to kill him but he can't. He decides to help the dragon who cannot fly properly anymore because of Hickup. A difficult but in the end touching friendship develops. With a great story and fantastic animation, characters which are easy to relate to and a good portion of humor, this is certainly one of the most rewarding animation movies I watched in recent years. Highly recommended, though not for small kids!
