Toothless, the dragon the world over loves is back in
“How To Train Your Dragon 2” and recently graced this year’s Cannes Film
Festival along with the rest of the stellar voice cast and director Dean DeBlois.
From DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought
you “Shrek,” “Kung Fu Panda” and “The Croods,” comes the highly anticipated
sequel to the Academy Award®-nominated “How To Train Your Dragon,” based on the
children’s book series by Cressida Cowell. In the thrilling second chapter of
the epic trilogy, five years have passed since the heroic young Viking Hiccup
(Jay Baruchel) befriended an injured dragon and forever changed the way the
residents of Berk interact with the fire-breathers. Now, Vikings and dragons
live side-by-side in peace on the fantastical isle that has been transformed
into a dragon’s paradise.
But when grown-up responsibilities loom on the
horizon, Hiccup and his faithful dragon Toothless take to the skies in search
of answers. It’s much more than he bargained for, though, when Hiccup discovers
that a mysterious dragon rider is really his long-lost mother Valka (Academy
Award®-winning actress Cate Blanchett) and that the peace between dragons and
Vikings is threatened by the power-hungry Drago (Academy Award-nominated actor
Djimon Hounsou) with help from the dragon trapper Eret, son of Eret (“Game of
Thrones” actor Kit Harington).
As Astrid (America Ferrera), Gobber (Craig Ferguson)
and Viking friends Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)
and twins Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) and Tuffnut (T.J. Miller), lend their support,
Hiccup, his mother and tribal chief father Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler),
must work together to protect the dragons they have grown to love. In the
process, Hiccup finds the answers he has been looking for in ways he could
never have imagined.
A Dream Works Animation presentation, “How To Train
Your Dragon 2” (3D) opens June 11 in cinemas nationwide in the Philippines from
20
th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.
