Dragons and Vikings invaded the Cannes film festival on Friday, with the eagerly awaited second installment of “How to Train your Dragon” set on setting the French Riviera alight.
Due to hit screens on July 2, hopes are high for the 3D “Dragon 2”, written and directed by Canadian animator Dean DeBlois, given the $495 million in global box office receipts the first film of the trilogy has grossed.
Fans wearing Viking helmets with huge horns could be seen meandering across La Croisette, Cannes’ palm-lined boulevard, ahead of the film’s global premiere on Friday night
