The director of the new live-action version of How to Train Your Dragon says the plot has much to teach children and parents alike about friendship, kindness, and the power of coming together despite differences. The Universal film opens this weekend and follows the uplifting story of a misfit Viking teen named Hiccup who forms an unlikely bond with a feared dragon, challenging everything his father and village believe about the creatures. While his village sees dragons as dangerous enemies to be killed, Hiccup discovers they’re misunderstood—and may even be allies. The 2010 animated version of the story was an instant hit.
Filmmaker Dean DeBlois, who helmed the three animated films, returns as the director. It’s rated PG.
