‘How to Train Your Dragon’s Live-Action Remake Reignites a Classic DreamWorks Story
Coming 15 years after viewers were first introduced to the Isle of Berk,the live-action remake takes one of DreamWorks’ most beloved stories to a different mediumto give it new life for another generation of viewers. To avoid the mistakes of other remakes, it brought back plenty of key contributors who helped make the original so magical, including DeBlois, who serves as writer-director,composerJohn Powell, and, of course,Gerard Butleras the Viking chief Stoick the Vast. While the film tells the same story of Hiccup (Mason Thames), the awkward son of Stoick, who defied Viking tradition and befriended a dragon, DeBloishad real reasons for wanting to return to Berkin a new way. A big-budget affair bringing the fictional land and its beasts to life meant infusing the story with a sense of wonder,adrenaline, and dangerthat he’s always longed to invoke with his dragons. “I want that thrill to deliver that level of immersion and excitement, and it meant we had to build the Island of Berk” hesaid in a behind-the-scenes video.
While ithasn’t flown as high as the animated trilogyin the eyes of critics,How to Train Your Dragonis still sitting at a 77% onRotten Tomatoes,with high praise for the loving attention to detail, effects, and reverence to the original story by DeBlois and his team. Collider’sMaggie Lovittcalled it a “breath of fresh air” inher 9/10 reviewand hailed it as “the gold-star example of how to do a live-action remake right.” Also receiving love from reviewers isa talented new castjoining Butler, includingThe Black Phone’s Thames andThe Last of UsalumNico Parker, alongsideNick Frost,Julian Dennison,Gabriel Howell,Bronwyn James,Harry Tevaldwyn,Peter Serafinowicz, andRuth Codd.
