How to Train Your Dragon - Hiccup's Journey
About this episode
This episode explores Hiccup's character development and the themes of leadership and relationships in the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, alongside an analysis of John Powell's musical compositions.
In this episode, we follow Hiccup's journey from an awkward inventor and teenager to the Chief leading Berk over the course of the trilogy, How To Train Your Dragon. We look at four different themes over the course of the three movies as Hiccup continues to dream big while growing in his relationships with his parents and Toothless. He takes big risks, seeks new places, and learns how to lead the clan of Vikings and dragons. Join host Ruth Mudge as she explores the storytelling genius of John Powell taking these themes from joyous and upbeat versions to the melancholy or heroic, with each theme morphing and changing as the story unfolds.
