When to Train Your Dragon has an uphill struggle, much like previous live-action versions of popular cartoon films. However, the first teaser confirms one very important point: Toothless the dragon appears to be attractive.
Rather than choosing a hyper-realistic dragon that lacks any appeal, it appears that the producers are well aware of what makes Toothless so very charming. He therefore has a nearly identical appearance, only with a more realistic texture that is appropriate for "real" life. For better or worse, Toothless and Hiccup's first encounter appears to proceed nearly exactly as it did in the original. However, it's difficult to resist getting carried away into a world of dragon riding as John Powell's well-known soundtrack soars.
The way to Train Your Dragon is based on the 2010 DreamWorks animated film of the same name, which was partially inspired by a Cressida Cowell children's book series. It centers on a young, marginalized Viking youngster who becomes friends with one of the dragons that his community frequently fights.
Ways to Train Your Dragon is directed by Dean DeBlois, who was also one of the original filmmakers of Lilo & Stitch, which is also scheduled for a live-action remake next year, although he is not directing that one. This is in contrast to the deluge of Disney live-action remakes. Gerard Butler reprises his role as Viking leader Stoick the Vast from the animated series, while Mason Thames (The Black Phone) plays misfit Viking turned dragon-trainer Hiccup and Nico Parker (The Last of Us) plays fierce Viking fighter Astrid.

Phlegma, a Viking from the same village as Hiccup and Astrid, will be portrayed by Ruth Codd (The Fall of the House of Usher).

Dennison said that the practical settings take you back to Berk, praising the attention to the original material:
