Hiccup (voice by Jay Baruchel) is a failure as a Viking: skinny, inquisitive, and inventive, he asks questions and tries out unsuccessful contraptions when he's supposed to be fighting the dragons that attack his village.

His father, chief Stoick the Vast (voice of Gerard Butler), has pretty much given up on his teenage son and apprenticed him to blacksmith Gobber (voice of Craig Ferguson). Worse, Hiccup knows the village loser hasn't a chance of impressing Astrid (voice of America Ferrera), the girl of his dreams and a formidable dragon fighter in her own right. When one of Hiccup's inventions actually works, he hasn't the heart to kill the young dragon he's brought down. He names it Toothless and befriends it, although he's been taught to fear and loathe dragons...
