From visuals to actors to music, the trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation builds anticipation. The preview captivates viewers, whether or not they have seen the original animated film.
The trailer showcases iconic scenes that evoke nostalgia from the original movie. The setting boasts stunning visual effects, with both the background and dragons looking remarkably realistic. Filmmakers incorporated dragons alongside actors in a life-like manner. Vibrant dragon colors pop against the darker background, while the landscape of Berk gleams with water and hillsides.
A talented cast closely resembles the original characters, creating excitement for fans. Most actors capture their animated counterparts well, with one notable exception: Astrid (Nico Parker) appears with brown hair instead of blonde. Despite the slight deviation, Parker fits the role perfectly. The casting of Hiccup (Mason Thames) proves particularly strong, as he closely resembles the original animated character and captures the character’s essence in the trailer.
The trailer’s music elevates the overall experience, adding thrilling and heart-pounding dimensions to the visual effects and performances. These musical elements deepen the scenes’ emotional impact.
With the original movie being so loved, will the remake be good enough? We won’t know the answer to the question until the movie is released, but from the trailer, it is already captivating a wide audience. Like the original, it will feature themes of friendship and bravery, along with the dragons and fantasy. We will be able to relive the original experience, but this time in a new form.

Iconic from the second you hear the music!
“I really love the original movie series. It’s the same thrilling music that every fan of How to Train Your Dragon knows and loves.

I predict Hiccup will tame Toothless…
