How To Watch The How To Train Your Dragon Remake At Home

DreamWorks and Universal's live-action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon" is currently one of the year's biggest summer blockbusters. The movie, of course, retells the story of a young Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) and his unlikely friend, the injured dragon Toothless, as was previously told in DreamWorks' 2010 animated film of the same name. And just like in that movie, the two bridge the divide between the worlds of humans and dragons in the re-telling, teaching Hiccup's Viking community that dragons like Toothless are their friends, not enemies.

Ever since Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" brought in over $1 billion at the box office, Disney had cornered the market on these "live-action reboots of classic animated films." And while DreamWorks Animation hasn't been around nearly as long as Disney has, those who grew up watching its movies over the last quarter-century are now old enough to have kids of their own. Hence, this faithful remake, which retains the heart and soul of the animated "How to Train Your Dragon" while offering more room for both dragon-heavy action spectacle and smaller characters to shine, has soared financially, having brought in over half a billion dollars theatrically around the world.

Now, you can bring the new "How to Train Your Dragon" home, as it is available to rent and buy on digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home as of July 15, 2025. Then, less than a month after that, the film will be made available to purchase on 4K UHD and Blu-ray beginning on August 12, 2025, and it comes packed with special features, which you can find out about along with the movie's streaming date below.

In addition to the movie itself, the home media package for "How to Train Your Dragon" will feature a horde of special goodies fit for a king's feast. That includes several deleted scenes introduced by writer and director Dean DeBlois, who has also provided a feature commentary for the movie in which he offers a scene-by-scene breakdown of how the whole thing was brought to life.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON comes to life like never before as Oscar nominee Dean DeBlois, the creative visionary behind the acclaimed franchise, turns his beloved animated film into a stunning live-action spectacle. On the isle of Berk, Vikings and dragons have battled for generations, but that won't stop Hiccup (Mason Thames), the son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), from building an unlikely bond with the feared dragon, Toothless. With an ancient evil threatening their worlds, it's up to Hiccup, Toothless, and their courageous companion Astrid (Nico Parker) to make the realm realize they're stronger together, and only through friendship and bravery can they overcome the challenges of a high-flying adventure.
