The film adaptation of "How to Train your Dragon" has been released in cinemas

A film adaptation of the 2010 animated film "How to Train Your Dragon" by DreamWorks studio has been released in cinemas. An almost exact replica was created on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the original.

New virtuality: by the end of the year, online cinemas will reduce the release of projects by 20%

What are the reasons for the decline in the market for original films and TV series

Visually, the film is almost indistinguishable from the animated version: the dragons have retained their familiar shapes, the villages are wooden, and the Vikings are in leather armor. This "immutability" will allow viewers who grew up watching cartoons to see their favorite characters in a new quality.

Some voices have not changed either: Gerard Butler, who played the role of Chief Stoick in the movie, voiced the same character in the cartoon.

Among the new faces in the film is Peter Serafinovich. He played the role of a Viking named Slobbery, the mentor of the main character Hiccup. Serafinovich is known to a wide audience for his vivid roles in "John Wick 2", "A Zombie named Sean" and "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The film adaptation also features music by composer John Powell. The same melodies can be heard in the cartoon.
