Universal and DreamWorks have released the first full clip from the upcoming live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon, and it recreates one of the most memorable scenes from the original animated classic, as Hiccup begins to form a bond with a dragon he nursed back to health, Toothless.

In the clip, Hiccup (Mason Thames) nervously approaches the Night Fury - which is believed to be the most dangerous of all the dragon species - with a fish in his hands. Toothless gulps down his meal, before somewhat intimidatingly walking towards his soon-to-be friend... and regurgitating the fish's head onto his lap.

How To Train Your Dragon received highly positive social media reactions following its CinemaCon premiere, but full reviews are still under embargo.

Have a look at the clip at the link below along with some new promos, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon.

Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village’s quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding.

As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup’s friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.

The film also stars Julian Dennison as Fishlegs, Gabriel Howell as Snotlout, Bronwyn James as Ruffnut, Harry Trevaldwyn as Tuffnut and Nick Frost as Gobber.

They should have just re-released the animated movie with remastered graphics instead.

@Tidaltree - Except it's blended with live action so it looks like shit. And with real actors, everything is dialed down because humans can't physically do the things that CGI characters can.

Nice clip imo…

I’m liking the kid playing Hiccup more , he obviously has a different vibe then the animated version but still feels like that character.

@TheVisionary25 - doesn’t seem like a weakling or nerdy like the cartoon but to me he still has that out of place feel and heart to the character which I feel is more important to the essence of the character.
