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 (Deadpool 2), Gabriel Howell (Bodies), Bronwyn James (Wicked), Harry Trevaldwyn (Smothered), Ruth Codd (The Midnight Club), BAFTA nominee Peter Serafinowicz (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Murray McArthur (Game of Thrones).
How to Train Your Dragon is written, produced and directed by DeBlois. It is also produced by four-time Oscar® nominee Marc Platt (Wicked, La La Land) and Emmy winner Adam Siegel (Drive, 2 Guns). How To Train Your Dragon is part of the Filmed For IMAX® Program, which offers filmmakers IMAX® technology to help them deliver the most immersive movie experience to audiences around the world.
Inspired by Cressida Cowell's New York Times bestselling book series, DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon franchise has captivated global audiences, earning four Academy Award® nominations and grossing more than $1.6 billion at the global box-office. Now, through cutting-edge visual effects, DeBlois transforms his beloved animated saga into a breathtaking live-action spectacle, bringing the epic adventures of Hiccup and Toothless to life with jaw-dropping realism as they discover the true meaning of friendship, courage and destiny.

High school grad goes viral for working at his Burger King job … still wearing his graduation outfit
Proudly wearing his high school graduation medals, Mykale Baker stopped by the Burger King in Dacula, Georgia, to mark the milestone with his coworkers. He had no way of knowing that a simple visit would lead to a life-changing viral moment. Baker wasn't scheduled to work the night he received his diploma, but when he saw the crew struggling to keep up with a surge of customers, he stepped in without hesitation. It was a natural instinct for the 18-year-old who had been named manager of a Wendy's at just 17. At that moment, Maria Mendoza happened to be waiting at the Burger King drive-through window for her order. She, like Baker, was coming from commencement, which had ended at 10 p.m. Although her daughter, Daizie Chavez, had graduated from Mill Creek High School the same year as him, the two had never met, which wasn't surprising in a class of more than 700 students. From the passenger seat, Mendoza, 45, craned her neck, curious about what was happening behind the counter. Who was preparing her Whopper? 'I'm kind of nosey sometimes!' Mendoza admits in an interview with 'And that's when I saw Mykale.' Around his neck hung medals honoring his achievements in marching band — as a percussionist, he was voted 'Most Selfless Person' — and in track and field, where he competed in hurdles. 'My whole world froze,' Mendoza recalls. 'My first thought was, he's working. He's not out celebrating like the rest of the kids. My child gets to be with me after the ceremony, and he's here.' And yet Baker was smiling, his face glowing with a wide beaming expression full of warmth and pure joy. "I was so happy I graduated," Baker tells "I couldn't take my eyes off of him," Mendoza says. She says something came over her, a sudden urge she couldn't ignore. She felt compelled to start recording, quietly capturing the scene without her husband or Baker noticing. Later that night, she posted the footage on TikTok, explaining that Baker had gone straight to Burger King after his graduation ceremony and that he looked 'so proud to carry his medals.' 'This young man deserves a scholarship!!!!' Mendoza wrote. The 43-second clip touched hearts across social media, and in just four days, a GoFundMe campaign for Baker — which Mendoza created and originally aimed to raise $5,000 — brought in more than $198,000 for his education. In the fall, Baker, a car fanatic, will attend Gwinnett Technical College to study automotive mechanics. With nine siblings, he says, there's never much to spare. 'Some of the money is going to go into fixing my car and the rest is going into a trust fund for school purposes only,' Baker, who was raised by a single mom, says. Soft-spoken and humble during the interview, Baker shies away from questions that focus on him but lights up when asked about Mendoza. 'It's brought our families together,' he says. 'She's a part of my family, and I'm a part of hers now.' He adds that he and Mendoza's daughter, Daizie, are now friends. Mendoza, for her part, is more than happy to brag about Baker if he won't do it himself. She shares that Mendoza's goal was to attend college and that he had been saving for it, holding jobs in the fast food industry since he was 16. If he didn't have enough, his plan was to join the Army, which would cover the cost of his education, a testament to his determination and resolve. 'He's incredible,' Mendoza says. "A lot of kids don't think that way." After hearing about the story, Burger King and the Burger King Foundation surprised Baker at work with a $10,000 scholarship. In recognition of Mendez's act of kindness, the foundation also awarded Daizie a $10,000 scholarship to support her studies in neuroscience at Georgia State University. Baker is training to become a manager at Burger King and will be working this summer, but he's most looking forward to an upcoming trip to Disney World with a friend. Demisha Scott, Baker's mother, describes him as 'the quietest' of her children, as well as 'very loving' and dependable. 'He doesn't think, he just automatically jumps in to help,' Scott tells TODAY. 'He's a very hard worker.' Scott says one of the band directors wrote a letter praising her son for always being the first to arrive and the last to leave practice. 'He'd load the van, break down the instruments and fix things if they broke,' she says. "That is who he is." Donations continue to pour in on Baker's GoFundMe, accompanied by messages filled with praise and admiration for his work ethic "Congratulations and God Bless You, Mykale! You are an inspiration and deserve to have the brightest future, and then some. You are already a leader and a role model at your precious, young age, and this world is made so much better by your presence," one person wrote. Added another, "Your story truly inspired me & touched my heart. It takes determination & humility to work after graduation. I pray that God continue to BLESS you beyond measure. As a PHD educated Black woman, I am truly moved by your GRIT. The future is yours! Go get it." This article was originally published on

Inuvialuit art display tells history of Inuit-Nordic Greenland
Long before John Cabot or Christopher Columbus braved the Atlantic Ocean, Northern civilizations were actively trading and interacting between Greenland and Scandinavia. That's the driving theme of Paulatuk-born artist Abraham Anghik Ruben's artworks, more than 100 of which are on display at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) -Qaumajuq as of May 24 and open for viewing until next spring. Anghik Ruben said his work stems from his fascination with the historic relationship between Greenland Inuit and Norse colonists in the early centuries of the last millennium, roughly between 1000 and 1500 C.E. 'This history is about the myths, stories and legends from both cultures,' he said. 'I'm working from a theme I call 'Consequences of Contact.' There's very little written from the daily record of what took place between the Vikings and the Inuit, but this contact period may have lasted about 500 years.' Through his research, he learned Greenlanders had a significant influence on the Northern European economy and culture. He added the relationship between the Norse and Greenland Inuit evolved over time. 'Initially it was open warfare between the two groups, but then cooler heads would prevail,' he said. 'They looked at ways where they could cooperate with each other. It's known that they lived side-by-side, so that means they were hunting together, gathering resources, exchanging technology and making it so the Vikings could get their goods from the Northern waters and sent to Northern Europe. 'Things like narwhal tusks, walrus tusks, polar bear pelts and even live polar bears.' With his art, Anghik Ruben shows how Greenland became something of a cultural melting pot, with Inuit migrating from the west and Norse from the east. Warmer temperatures were causing population booms on both sides of the equation and the results can be seen in Nordic art and technology. Anghik Ruben said a number of Northern technologies developed out of the partnership between the two cultures. He noted two narwhal tusks brought back from Northern Greenland and gifted to the King of Denmark were integrated into his throne, which began the circumpolar trade relationship. 'Later in their engagement, they they developed the means to render sea mammal fat by boiling it and make sea mammal tar that would not become brittle until -40 C,' he said. 'They also developed the means to make lashing and rope for their ships, that was also good to -40 C. The Inuit introduced the toggle harpoon to the Viking sailors and that went into widespread use in Northern Europe. 'In my studies of Viking myths, stories and legends and similar themes among the Inuit, the first couple of hundred years both groups would have been practicing Shamanism, one from the Scandinavian point of view and the other from the incoming Inuit from Alaska. They understood the power of the spirit of the place — both the Vikings and Inuit gave names to places where they hunted, places where they sought shelter and places that held a special significance to them.' An inductee to the Order of Canada, Anghik Ruben's work has been displayed around the world including the Musee du Louvre in Paris. Attributing his success to his parents and his teacher, Ronald Senungetuk, in Fairbanks, Alaska, he has been sculpting for 50 years. More recently during the Covid-19 pandemic, he also took up painting. In a twist, his success as an artist has financed his other passion, prospecting, which he learned from an old friend who passed his mining claims on to Anghik Ruben. 'I left Alaska in 1975 and then I met with an elderly Chinese geologist,' he said. 'Before he passed away, he gifted his mining claims to me. I've been working on the mining claim since 2004. The artwork provides me with income to do prospecting and other developments. 'Now it's turning out my prospecting efforts could very well finance what I'm doing as an artist.' Abraham Anghik Ruben: A Retrospective is the first solo show at Qaumajuq's Qilak gallery, which is the largest space in the WAG dedicated to Inuit art. The show runs until Spring of 2026 — a closing date has not been announced yet. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.
