The latest world promo of the ‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’ series is the funniest thing on the internet today. It features Kit Harington auditioning with Hiccup’s beloved Night Fury dragon, Toothless, and the two are most hilarious. Harington has given his voice to Eret a former Dragon Trapper who used to sell the dragons. He was the antagonist in the film.
The video opens with Kit being called with a wrong name Chip told to feel it. Kit reads his line, after which Toothless is supposed to show himself, comes with speed and knocks him down. The first scene itself will make you laugh heartily. In one scene, Kit is shown making fun of his ‘Game of Thrones‘ character Jon Snow, saying, “I’m a little confused about my part. I mean, first I’m dead then I’m not. No one knows who my mother is.” At this, the dragon rolls his eyes funnily.
And the most amusing moment is when Kit rehearses his line, and Toothless behind imitates him and makes the ladies laugh.
No doubt, the series makers have invested a lot in the promo, since a full-sized Toothless was manifested just for it and the special effects used to make the dragon do some crazy stuff.
The synopsis of the video reads, “From DreamWorks Animation, comes a surprising tale about growing up, finding the courage to face the unknown…and how nothing can ever train you to let go. What began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has become an epic adventure spanning their lives. Welcome to the most astonishing chapter of one of the most beloved animated franchises in film history: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.”
It adds, “Now chief and ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, Hiccup has created a gloriously chaotic dragon utopia. When the sudden appearance of female Light Fury coincides with the darkest threat their village has ever faced, Hiccup and Toothless must leave the only home they’ve known and journey to a hidden world thought only to exist in myth. As their true destinies are revealed, dragon and rider will fight together—to the very ends of the Earth—to protect everything they’ve grown to treasure.”
