Upcoming movie: Adventure galore with saving the dragons
On Friday, June 20, DreamWorks Animation (Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and The Croods) brings to SA screens the sequel to the Academy Award-nominated How To Train Your Dragon, based on the children’s book series by Cressida Cowell.
In the thrilling second chapter of the epic trilogy, five years have passed since the heroic young Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) befriended an injured dragon and forever changed the way the residents of Berk interact with the fire-breathers.
Now, Vikings and dragons live side-by-side in peace on the fantastical isle that has been transformed into a dragon’s paradise.
But when grown-up responsibilities loom on the horizon, Hiccup and his faithful dragon, Toothless, take to the skies in search of answers.
It’s much more than he bargained for, though, when Hiccup discovers that a mysterious dragon rider is really his long-lost mother, Valka (Cate Blanchett), and that the peace between dragons and Vikings is threatened by the power-hungry Drago (Djimon Hounsou), with help from the dragon trapper Eret, son of Eret (Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington).
As Astrid (America Ferrera), Gobber (Craig Ferguson) and Viking friends Snotlout (Jonah Hill), Fishlegs (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and twins Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) and Tuffnut (TJ Miller) lend their support, Hiccup, his mother and tribal chief father, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), must work together to protect the dragons they have grown to love.
In the process, Hiccup finds the answers he has been looking for in ways he could never have imagined. – @BoksburgNews
