Luz: A bit late but Happy New Year all! 🥳 Year of the Dragon let's gooooo and watch a movie together about dragons!🐲🐲

NORTH SEA/VILLAGE - NIGHT

We skim above a dark, wild ocean. The camera turns toward a
lone island, Berk. It is a gigantic shard of rock jutting straight out of the water.

HICCUP (V.O.)
This, is Berk. It's twelve days
North of hopeless, and a few
degrees South of freezing to death.
It's located solidly on the
meridian of misery.
The camera drifts over rolling hills to reveal a small village nestled on an outcropping of sea mounts.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
My village. In a word, sturdy.
And it's been here for seven
generations, but every single
building is new.
The camera drifts closer, circling.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
We have fishing, hunting, and a
charming view of the sunsets. The
only problems are the pests. You
see, most places have mice or
mosquitos. We have...
Sheep graze peacefully on a hillside. Suddenly one is snatched.

Gus: sheep!

Willow: well dragons got to eat too.

CUT TO:

INT. STOICK'S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

A door is pulled open... as a DRAGON swoops directly toward
it, BLASTING FIRE. The door is SLAMMED. The fire shoots
through the slats of wood, illuminating HICCUP, a gangly
teenage Viking.

HICCUP
...dragons.

EXT. STOICK'S HOUSE

He reopens the sizzling door, as leaps off of the front
porch. He weaves through the erupting mayhem as Vikings pour
out of the buildings, ready for a fight.

More dragons swarm in, setting rooftops alight and hauling
off sheep.

HICCUP (V.O.)
Most people would leave. Not us.
We're Vikings. We have stubbornness
issues.
Vikings sound the alarm. Viking men and women pour out into
the streets, axes in hand.
ON HICCUP darting through alleys, staying under eaves, making
his way through the battle.

HICCUP (V.O.) (CONT'D)
My name's Hiccup. Great name, I
know. But it's not the worst.
Parents believe a hideous name will
frighten off gnomes and trolls.
Like our charming Viking demeanor
wouldn't do that.
Dragons sweep back and forth, dodging axes and blasting the
Vikings who throw them. A burly warrior gets tossed in an
explosion, knocking Hiccup to the ground.

VIKING

(FIERCE)
Arggghhhhh!
(cheery, insane)
Mornin'!
Hiccup gets to his feet and continues to rush past gigantic
men and women.

HICCUP (V.O.)
Meet the neighbors. Hoark the
Haggard...

HOARK
What are you doing out!?

HICCUP
... Burnthair the Broad...

BURNTHAIR
Get inside!

Luz: The Vikings' accent is Scottish, not Scandinavian. However, the Vikings settled large portions of Scotland, including the Inner Hebrides where the fictitious colony of Berk is shown to be located, and this is the movie's way of reminding us of this.

HICCUP
... Phlegma the Fierce...

PHLEGMA THE FIERCE
Get back inside!

HICCUP
. Ack.
He passes a silent ox of a viking, picking his ear.
