Set five years after the previous story ends, Dragons and Vikings live in peace, but when the villainous Drago plots a massive invasion, it’s up to Hiccup (voice of Jay Baruchel) and Toothless to save the day.

“Like his unflappable hero Hiccup, “How to Train Your Dragon 2” writer-director Dean DeBlois has prevailed, serving up DreamWorks Animation’s strongest sequel yet — one that breathes fresh fire into the franchise, instead of merely rehashing the original. Braver than “Brave,” more fun than “Frozen” and more emotionally satisfying than so many of its live-action counterparts, “Dragon” delivers.” –Peter Debruge -Variety

“Technically stunning, and touchingly perceptive about the relationship between people and animals, this is an impressive achievement but may be all a bit too much for younger viewers.” –Leslie Felperin -Hollywood Review
