The director of the How to Train Your Dragon animated franchise and the live-action film’s crew talk about making a photorealistic dragon

Whether soaring through the sky or sharing a playful moment with his human bestie Hiccup, Toothless, the dark dragon with a friendly face and injured tail, disarms you with his endearing nature.

It is no surprise that he has become the emblem of the How to Train Your Dragon animated films, the first of which arrived in 2010 – there have since been two sequels, numerous short films and various TV series.

Now Toothless has returned to the big screen in a new photorealistic iteration for the live-action remake of the original 2010 film.
