The nice folks at Dreamworks/Common invited an assortment of “content creators” and/or “influencers” to assist have a good time the house video launch of the live-action How To Prepare Your Dragon movement image. However this was no abnormal press junket, this was a hands-on Viking expertise within the lovely nation of Norway. You may watch my adventures within the video above, however taking part in all of the wild/culturally enriching actions enable us to attach with our inside Viking and prepare our personal metaphorical dragons; whereas additionally interviewing the director and stars! As I hopped aboard a traditionally correct Viking ship, I might really feel as if my foolish cartoon of a life was about to expertise one thing actual… in live-action! An actual appreciation for a way the filmmakers captured the spirit of this tradition in each the animated and live-action movies.
The Norwegians are pleased with their historical past, and the studio appears pleased with their movie. The tomatoes are fairly dang contemporary (like Norway’s meals), and the field workplace has been form (like Norway’s folks) to this cinematic underdog story of friendship and household. Deservedly so! And boy howdy, let me inform ya… I’m no fan of Hollywood’s newest obsession with adapting beloved animated classics and turning them into trendy monstrosities that utterly misunderstand the unique, however 2025’s How To Prepare Your Dragon is totally different. Director DeBlois retains the soul intact whereas bringing one thing new that by no means comes near disrespecting what we love in regards to the story of Toothless and Hiccup.
Legend has it, Viking blood runs via the veins of your trusted “content creator” and I used to be ready to make use of a few of that Viking blood, Viking sweat, and Viking tears to overcome and prepare this luxury press junket journey, armed solely with a digicam and an official JoBlo bobblehead. After many great days spent underneath the midnight solar in Norway, I used to be joyful to return to my homeland… so I might simply sit again, take into consideration the teachings I discovered on this journey and watch the very best live-action adaption ever within the consolation of my house surrounded by my family members… a few of whom are cats that completely remind me of Toothless. Now that’s what I name Valhalla.
