HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON Gets a Trailer

DreamWorks Animation’s next franchise hopeful hits theaters March 26th, 2010, but, thanks to Yahoo! Movies, we have the trailer for HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON right here, right now.

The film centers on a teenaged Viking, who, upon being sent to slay a fiersome dragon, befriends the creature.   The voice casting includes Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrara, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, Kristen Wiig, and T.J. Miller.   Wait, Gerard Butler is voicing a Viking?   I wonder if he sounds anything like King Leonidas.   Wait, Craig Ferguson is voicing a Viking?   I wonder if he will sound anything like Craig Ferguson.

Check out the trailer right here:

All in all, I can’t say the film looks all that bad.   It has some nice adventure laid out, and some funny comedy.   Of course, we saw pretty much this same story 13 years ago with DRAGONHEART, and that movie even had Dennis Quaid and the voice of Sean Connery.   If this is any consolation, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON certainly looks far better than ERAGON.

What do you think?   Does this movie look promising?   Are you fed up with movies about human befriending dragons?   Will Gerard Butler just copy and past his performance from 300 here?   Let us know your thoughts by commenting below.

We’ll find out for sure when the film hits in conventional and IMAX theaters March 26th.
