Many things have changed in the Isle of Berk since the “Dragon Invasion” that occurred during the first film. Now, dragons happily occupy the space along with their human masters in How to Train Your Dragon 2, the cinematic sequel. And for some long time fans, this set up is exactly in how the books originally envisioned this world.
That includes some games with sheep being the … well, scapegoat. Well, not quite. But these dragons certainly love teasing the always humbling and hilarious sheep. Some may tell these animals not to lose their wool over it.
This new video clip release comes courtesy of Yahoo Movies. It shows what looks like the first five minutes of the movie, along with all the necessary set-ups in character introductions to get viewers up to speed. Snotlout still has a “thing” for Astrid, but has he started to take a liking to Ruffnut too? Fishlegs is dedicated to his adoring female Dragon companion, and he looks like he will become a capable second in command when the leadership of the island changes, and Stoick the Great and Gobber retires.
But where is Hiccup? This movie looks like it will be about making new discoveries on all kinds of fronts. Not only for this lead hero but also for everyone else. As everyone are now in their teenage years, what happens next will no doubt start to define them in their young adult years. Everyone is growing up. It looks like some may want to leave the nest, and that’s not good for Berk’s fate.
More Posters for How to Train Your Dragon 2!

Just when fans think all the posters have been released for How to Train Your Dragon 2, the official Facebook page for DreamWork’s series has unveiled yet another one. This time, Hiccup’s mother, Valka, is featured with her dragon, Cloudjumper. These two share an even closer symbiotic relationship that Hiccup does not quite yet have with his dragon, Toothless.
Now that time is edging closer to this film’s release, will there be more surprises? Even Gobber the Great has his own pet dragon by the name of Grump. To collect these posters will not be an easy task when not every movie theatre across North America will give away / release their posters to fans to have. If any readers have suggestions on how to obtain them, we at Otaku no Culture welcome tips.
Now that nearly everyone has been featured, Will Stoick the Vast get his own movie poster to round out the family? Most likely yes, and he better reunite with Thornado and his spunky newts. People who have followed the series will know this dragon may well be the last of his kind and he has taken to become a surrogate mother to three little Thunderdrums. When considering the invasion of Drago the Dragon Hunter will need everyone to have their dragon, everyone needs to be on top of their game, and be the best of friends with their dragon.
From the sounds of things, this family will become the Dragon Masters, the title of the third part of the television series.
A complete run-down of all the posters released to date can be found here.
