Their childlike charm is a reliable source of nostalgia, and although their stories vary, they almost always focus on the importance of kindness and togetherness.

The How to Train Your Dragon franchise has become one of DreamWorks Animation's most popular film series, and now it's the first of them to warrant a live-action remake. The first movie, based on the books by Cressida Cowell, follows a Viking boy named Hiccup, who befriends the injured dragon Toothless and sets out to convince his tribe that dragons aren't the evil and destructive creatures they seem. The live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie will presumably retell that initial animated feature's plot.
