It’s hard to believe How To Train Your Dragon’s live action movie has already been out for several weeks on the 2025 movie schedule and made more than several hundred million dollars at the box office globally. The movie has already nabbed a How To Train Your Dragon 2 live action sequel and many people have seen it, but I was curious to know what original author Cressida Cowell, who wrote the books with the same series name, had to say about the movie.
What Cressida Cowell Thinks Of The Live Action Movie
The good news is she was on hand for the opening of Epic Universe at Universal Studios recently. As the stars took a break from riding the new rides, I was able to ask her about her favorite How To Train Your Dragon moments. I wasn’t sure what she’d say, but she seemed tickled pink about the relationship between leads Mason Thames and Gerard Butler, whom she calls Gerry.
So many really emotional moments. They nailed it! I mean, Mason and Gerry and the whole cast, but that whole father-son relationship is stunning.
How To Train Your Dragon review, which noted the emotional nature of the film. For her, though, it was “personal.”
Coast it was quite the “Robinson Crusoe” experience to be dropped off in the wilderness like that, and it led to her fascination with nature, Vikings and dragons. In 2003, she published How To Train Your Dragon, the first in a serious of 12 books that have sold millions of copies. The first movie with Dean DeBlois came out in 2010, and has spawned streaming spinoffs, an entire section of a theme park at Epic Universe, and a new series of Live Action movies.
