How To Train Your Dragon OTT: Know when and where can you watch live action remake

The How to Train Your Dragon live-action remake hit the big screen recently and has been receiving widespread praise from critics and audiences. However, when the trailer for the movie dropped, the casting of actress Nico Parker as Astrid faced criticism on social media.&nbsp;Speaking to Variety, director Dean DeBlois shared his thoughts on the subject, saying that he felt bad that Nico Parker had to face that, but feels that now people have seen how good she is in the role, they are changing their minds.&nbsp;"I mean, it bothered me in the beginning, and now I think that’s fading away, as I expected it would," he said. "Once people start seeing Nico Parker in the role, it just becomes obvious she is excellent as Astrid. She was cast because she was the best that came in, and within the context of this movie, and sort of the expanded mythology of the tribe, the whole idea that Astrid has to be white and blue-eyed and blonde goes away," he continued.&nbsp;"It’s unfortunate that she had to hear any of that. But I guess people only know what they know until we start sort of informing them about the changes and how this movie makes sense of all of it," he continued.<h2>A faithful retelling of the original</h2>The film closely follows the story of the first animated movie, which centres on a young Viking named Hiccup. He belongs to a tribe of fierce dragon hunters but defies tradition by befriending a dragon, challenging everything his people believe.<h2>A strong cast leads the remake</h2>The animated How to Train Your Dragon trilogy was a massive success, grossing over $1.6 billion worldwide and spawning a wide array of spin-offs, including comics, video games, TV series, and stage adaptations.&nbsp;&nbsp;The film features Mason Thames as Hiccup, Nico Parker as Astrid, Gerard Butler as Stoick the Vast, Nick Frost as Gobber, Julian Dennison as Fishlegs Ingerman, and Gabriel Howell as Snotlout Jorgenson. &nbsp;

Part of the reason I got into this business was to help bring magical worlds and ideas to audiences, to entice them and maybe even inspire them in their own lives."

Gerard Butler calls live action How to Train Your Dragon movie 'A Game Changer'

It appears DreamWorks Animation is following in Disney's footsteps. A live-action How to Train Your Dragon film is in development, as per media reports. The original animated trilogy was based on Cressida Cowell's children's book series&nbsp;of the same name and were both critically acclaimed and also successes&nbsp;at the box office. The franchise told the story of a young, physically feeble Viking called Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who lives in the fictional village of Berk, where Vikings and dragons are locked in a long-standing conflict. Hiccup befriends a dragon called Toothless from a particularly dangerous species Night Fury, and works to bring peace between the Vikings and the dragons.&nbsp;

The original, released in 2010, was followed by two sequels: How to Train Your Dragon 2 in 2014 and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World in 2019.

<h3>Will a live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie do justice to the original movies?</h3>

Dean DeBlois, who co-directed the first film and had sold directing duties on the sequels, is involved here as well, which should give fans of the franchise hope. The original films featured a strong focus on character development, humor, and epic action sequences, as well as stunning animation that brings the dragons to life. Case in point, the video embedded below:

There are certainly risks involved in adapting an animated movie to live-action, as many such adaptations have not been successful. Even the successful ones, like Disney's The Lion King, have been derided by a section of the audience.

One major consideration would be how to portray the dragons in a live-action format. While modern visual effects technology has advanced significantly, it would still be a difficult task to create believable dragons that look and move realistically.&nbsp;

However, if the filmmakers approach the project with care and creativity, it's possible to recreate that magic. DeBlois and his team need to find a way to bring this world and the dragons to life in a way that is convincing and visually appealing, and cast actors who can capture the essence of the original characters.
