Hiccup and Toothless now have to show the villagers, and also the dragons, what you can do when you work together. Stoick is furious when he learns that his son will not kill dragons and launches a mammoth attack on the dragon’s lair. More importantly, he begins to get noticed by Astrid (America Ferrera), an aspiring dragon slayer on whom he has a huge crush. Hiccup begins to win the respect of the Viking village as the villagers watch him control dragons with the tricks he has learned.

In the process, Hiccup discovers that everything his people know about dragons is wrong.

When Hiccup discovers that Toothless cannot fly, he makes it a tail and teaches it to fly again. Instead he slowly befriends it, naming it Toothless. Hiccup finds that he cannot kill the Fury. It is more magnificent and terrifying than anything he has ever imagined. On the brink of giving up, Hiccup stumbles across the trapped and injured creature. When his father goes off with a fleet of ships in search of the Fury’s nest, Hiccup sets off to find the dragon that fell from the sky. No one believes Hiccup when he tells them what he has done. Night Furies have never been seen before, and are believed to be the most dangerous of all dragons. Using the invention, he shoots down a Night Fury. Hiccup’s life changes when he tries out one of his own inventions. He is the strongest and most fearless of all Vikings. His father, Stoick (Gerard Butler), is the Viking leader. But he is a scrawny youth who feels he will never be worthy of his father’s attention or praise.

Young Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) dreams of being a true Viking, killing dragons and defending his people.
