The dragons have landed. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, in partnership with Spirit Entertainment, proudly presents the live-action reimagining of How to Train Your Dragon — now available to own on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD.
A visual and emotional triumph, writer-director Dean DeBlois brings his beloved animated classic to life with awe-inspiring realism and breath-taking scale. Fans can now experience the film at home in dazzling 4K clarity, alongside over 75 minutes of exclusive bonus features that take viewers behind the scenes of this bold new cinematic adventure.
A Legend Reborn
From the first soaring flight to the last flicker of dragonfire, How to Train Your Dragon captures the heart and wonder that made the original a modern classic — now reimagined for a new generation.
Oscar® nominee Dean DeBlois, the visionary behind the original trilogy, transforms the story of courage and friendship into a sweeping live-action fantasy that blends practical sets, cutting-edge effects, and deeply human performances.
On the windswept Isle of Berk, young Viking Hiccup (Mason Thames) dares to challenge his tribe’s centuries-old battle with dragons. When he befriends the feared Night Fury, Toothless, Hiccup must convince his father, Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), and his fellow Vikings that humans and dragons can coexist. Alongside the fearless Astrid (Nico Parker), Hiccup faces an ancient evil that threatens to tear their worlds apart — proving that friendship and bravery can soar higher than fear.
A World Forged by Vision and Talent
Bringing Berk to life required a cast and crew worthy of legend. Gerard Butler (300, Has Fallen franchise) reprises his role as Stoick, joined by a stellar ensemble including Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead), Mason Thames (The Black Phone), Nico Parker (The Last of Us), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), and Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy).
The production team features industry heavyweights: cinematography by Bill Pope (The Matrix trilogy), music by John Powell, production design by Dominic Watkins, and costumes by Lindsay Pugh. The result is a film that bridges fantasy and realism — a living, breathing world filled with texture, heart, and fire.
