Their teen hero, Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel from She's Out of My League), is the underachieving son of a fierce Viking warlord, Stoick (300's very own Gerard Butler), whose tribe has been battling dragons for centuries. When Hiccup wounds an elusive creature called the Night Fury, no one believes him. Soon he tames, trains and learns to ride the beast, thus schooling...
