With critical appreciation and success at the box office, the film has also spawned several spin-off TV series.

The movies told Hiccup and Toothless’ quest to combat humanity’s prejudice against dragons, the ache of overcoming the loss of a parent, and first love. The original trilogy of movies used the books by Cressida Cowell as a jumping off point and focused on the special friendship between a young and unheroic Viking boy named Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless, an injured dragon he nurses back to health.
