Storyline
Right before Berk’s traditional winter holiday of Snoggletog, all the dragons of Berk unexpectedly depart, leaving everyone distraught – except for Toothless, who cannot fly by himself. Out of compassion, Hiccup builds him a new automatic prosthesis allowing him independent flight, thus gifting him his freedom; he then flies off too.

“The biggest challenge of adapting the book was trying to make the inner lives of the characters legible through their outward actions.”
