Brad Pitt Cried Over This Heartwarming Animated Film Ending

by

In 2012, during an interview with W Magazine, I found myself unexpectedly moved by a heartfelt confession from none other than the remarkable Brad Pitt. In a brief clip, he was asked about films that stirred his emotions and brought tears to his eyes. Maintaining a composed exterior, he admitted that film-induced tears were few and far between for him, with only the occasional movie managing to evoke a tear or two. But there was one film that truly touched him, and it wasn’t what many might have anticipated from Pitt. He confessed that the animated masterpiece “How to Train Your Dragon” left him in tears at the end when the Vikings and dragons achieved harmony with each other.

In 2010, the animated movie “How to Train Your Dragon” made its debut, with Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois at the helm. This film is a touching tale about a young Viking named Hiccup who forms an unlikely bond with an injured dragon. As he learns to coexist peacefully with dragons, he teaches his village that harmony between Vikings and dragons is possible.

Originally based on Cressida Cowell’s book series, the film was transformed for the big screen as a trilogy, which in turn led to a spin-off TV series titled “Dragons: The Nine Realms.” Furthermore, it has been adapted into a live-action movie due for release in June 2025.

Essentially, it’s a heartwarming narrative that delves into themes such as friendship, growing up, fostering harmony, and making changes to secure a better future.

‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Is a Heartfelt Story About Friendship

The storyline of “How to Train Your Dragon” revolves around Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, a teenage Viking son of Stoick the Vast, the chief of their village Berk. Unlike other villagers and his father, Hiccup is considered an underdog. With Berk frequently facing threats from dragons, Hiccup’s father forbids him from learning how to defend against them. Struggling with the low opinions of both the village and his father, Hiccup decides to change things by constructing gadgets that can give him an edge when dealing with dragons.

Following a dragon attack on their village during a raid, Hiccup, having constructed a mechanical gadget, brings down an exceptionally uncommon Night Fury dragon. The dragon lands in a nearby woodland, and just as Hiccup is set to end its life, he can’t. He discovers that dragons are as frightened of humans as humans are of them. After a short struggle, Hiccup manages to win the Night Fury’s trust and chooses to call him Toothless due to his retractable teeth. They forge a bond and learn to fly together when Hiccup creates mechanical wings for Toothless after it was wounded from being shot down. However, their friendship must be kept hidden from Hiccup’s village and his father, which becomes increasingly difficult as the narrative unfolds.

The Ending That Brought Brad Pitt to Tears

As the story progresses, Hiccup and Toothless develop a strong connection, but the needs of the village become a potential danger to their friendship. Sticking to tradition, Stoick assumes that Hiccup has slain a dragon and insists he begins dragon training – a crucial step for the tribe’s youth. In an unexpected twist, Hiccup demonstrates exceptional skills in dragon taming, making him the best in class.

However, things take a dark turn when Hiccup learns that his final test is to slay a dragon in front of the villagers. Refusing to comply with this request, he finds himself in the arena with Toothless being captured instead. Separated from each other, Hiccup pleads for help from his father but is met with disapproval.

Determined to save his friend, Hiccup embarks on a mission to free Toothless, rallying the support of classmates along the way.

In the climactic scene, Hiccup battles against the Dragon Queen, resulting in him losing his leg. He awakens in Berk with Toothless by his side, marking their reunion. The villagers are jubilant over the triumph and the new harmony between humans and dragons. The story concludes with a display of mutual respect, implying a future where humans and dragons can live harmoniously, and suggesting that conquering fear lies in understanding it – a fitting end to a touching and heartwarming tale.

The ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ Franchise Is Making Its Return

Enthusiasts of the animated trilogy, along with a fresh wave of spectators, will be immersed in the enchantment of the story again when the live-action movie “How to Train Your Dragon” hits theaters in June 2025. The film’s stellar cast includes Mason Thames, Nico Parker, and Gerard Butler, with Dean DeBlois, the original director, rejoining the team for this eagerly anticipated production.

In late 2024, the initial trailer for the movie was unveiled, giving fans an early glimpse into the cast, setting, and a first look at Toothless who appeared astonishingly great. The film seems captivating and we hope it will be a financial hit, allowing the production of sequel movies. You can catch How to Train Your Dragon on Netflix and Max.
