Dreamworks' live-action How to Train Your Dragonhas all the makings of the animated film, yet the tone feels different; this change was not only inevitable, but vital. First released in 2010, How to Train Your Dragon tells the story of Hiccup, a teenage Viking who struggles to fit in with his dragon-fighting society. One day, he befriends a rare Night Fury, and realizes that dragons may not be enemies, but misunderstood allies. 15 years after the original's release, a HTTYD live-action adaptation is hitting theaters, and it has the potential to be one of the best films of the summer.
