Dean DeBlois is getting ready to show off footage from his live-action adaptation of "How to Train Your Dragon." But he wants to explain some things first. The filmmaker — an animation legend who made "Lilo & Stitch" and the original "How to Train Your Dragon" with Chris Sanders and directed two more "How to Train Your Dragon" installments for DreamWorks Animation on his own — had flirted with live-action filmmaking before.

On January 30, Universal showed us three scenes (which were not completely finished yet) from the new How to Train Your Dragon. The most impressive of them was definitely the first flight between Hiccup and Toothless teased a bit in the new trailer.
