Essentially, Toothless is magnificent in live-action. Every scale glimmers, every muscle moves, and the franchise's beloved dragon's signature expressiveness shines through every scene. Supported by a heartfelt performance from Thames, who is essentially working with a puppet, the Hiccup-Toothless friendship of all friendships is lovingly rendered.

How to Train Your Dragon cast members Mason Thames, Nico Parker, Gerard Butler, Nick Frost and Dean DeBlois share their favorite new scenes.
