Game of Thrones doesn’t have a monopoly on dragons. This sequel to the 2010 animated hit is full of the flying, fire-breathing critters, and they’re not all as benevolent as trained dragon Toothless. Set five years after the events of the first film, Viking dude Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) has grown up and acquired a spirit

for adventure, much to the chagrin of his father (Gerard Butler), who wants Hiccup to succeed him as the leader of their clan. His travels take him to the frozen lair of the Bewilderbeast, an alpha dragon trained by a “crazy feral dragon lady” known as Valka (Cate Blanchett), who joins forces with our hero against dragon hunter Drago

(Djimon Hounsou) and his pirate lackey Eret (GoT’s Kit Harington), who plan to attack Hiccup’s village. Not just the best animated feature this summer, HTTYD2 is the perfect sequel – advancing the story and expanding the mythology while retaining all the elements that made the original something special.
