We’re BACK together (finally) and heading straight to Berk 🐉🔥
In this episode of Page to Picture, Kim and Tiff reunite to break down How to Train Your Dragon in every form: the original book by Cressida Cowell, the iconic animated film that emotionally ruined us, the live-action remake everyone has opinions about, & the official Isle of Berk cookbook....because yes, we’re eating like Vikings now.
We get into:
Why the book and movie are wildly different (and why the movie kinda ate)
Toothless: menace in the book, icon in the movies
Hiccup and Toothless’ bond as mutual healing, not “boy and his pet”
Stoick as the aggressively loving dad who yells instead of saying “I’m proud of you”
The animated movie’s refusal to play it safe (yes, the leg 😭)
Hans Zimmer’s score doing the absolute MOST
Whether we’d survive on Berk (short answer: no)
Plus, Kim wraps up Book Bites & Blockbusters by testing a recipe straight from the Dragons: Recipes from the Isle of Berk cookbook - baked apples with rye and vanilla frozen yogurt - while the girls catch up, spiral, and remember why recording together just hits different.
Grab your helmet, your dragon, and maybe a baked apple.
This episode takes flight and feelings are absolutely involved. 🐲✨
