Where to find How to Train Your Dragon on Paramount Plus
How to Train Your Dragon is available on Paramount Plus, but not all three films are there at the same time. The first film, How to Train Your Dragon (2010), streams regularly on the service. The second and third films rotate on and off depending on licensing agreements, so you may need to check the app to see what's currently available in your region.
The easiest way to find it is to open the Paramount Plus app or website, search for "How to Train Your Dragon" in the search bar, and see which titles appear. If a film shows as unavailable, it will usually say when it's expected to return, or you can check back in a few weeks.
Paramount Plus also carries the How to Train Your Dragon TV series, Dragons: The Nine Realms, which is exclusive to the platform. This show is set in the same world but follows new characters and storylines.
Key Takeaways
- The first How to Train Your Dragon film is a permanent part of Paramount Plus's library, but the sequels rotate on and off the service.
- You can search for the title directly in the Paramount Plus app or website to see which films are currently streaming.
- Paramount Plus also offers Dragons: The Nine Realms, an original TV series set in the same universe.
- If a film is unavailable, you can rent or purchase it through other platforms like Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV.
What subscription tier do you need
Both the Paramount Plus Essential and Premium tiers include access to How to Train Your Dragon films and the Dragons: The Nine Realms series. The difference between the two is ads: Essential includes commercials, while Premium removes them.
If you already have a Paramount Plus subscription for other content, you do not need to upgrade or pay extra to watch these titles. They are included in your current plan.
How to stream it on different devices
Paramount Plus works on most devices: smartphones and tablets (iOS and Android), computers (Windows and Mac), smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV), and gaming consoles (PlayStation, Xbox). read the Paramount Plus app from your device's app store, sign in with your account, search for the title, and press play.
If you are watching on a TV without a built-in app, you can use a streaming device like Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, or Apple TV. Connect it to your TV, install the Paramount Plus app, and stream from there. You can also cast from your phone to a compatible TV using Chromecast or AirPlay.
What to do if the film is not available in your region
Paramount Plus availability varies by country. If How to Train Your Dragon does not appear in your region, it may be licensed to a different streaming service in your area. Check local platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus, or regional services to see where it is streaming.
You can also rent or purchase the films through digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, or Vudu. Rental typically costs $3 to $5 and lasts 48 hours; purchase costs $10 to $15 and is permanent.
Watching the series alongside the films
Dragons: The Nine Realms is a separate animated series that does not require you to watch the films first, though fans of the movies will recognize the world and some references. The series has multiple seasons and is updated regularly on Paramount Plus.
If you want to experience the full story in order, start with the three films, then move to the series. However, the show stands on its own and can be watched independently.
Troubleshooting playback issues
If the film starts buffering or stops playing, first check your internet connection speed. Paramount Plus recommends at least 5 Mbps for HD streaming and 25 Mbps for 4K. If your connection is slow, move closer to your router or restart it.
If the problem continues, try closing the Paramount Plus app completely and reopening it. If you are on a web browser, clear your cache and cookies, then reload the page. Restarting your device often fixes playback errors. If the issue persists, check Paramount Plus's support page or contact their customer service.
