Fans hilariously react to first look at Hiccup and Toothless meet and greet: "Hiccup looks like he's about 30 years old"

It takes no two thoughts to admit that the adventures of Hiccup and Toothless capture our hearts and minds forever. As the first look of the upcoming movie's meet and greet hits the internet, fans are nostalgic again for a round of live-action How to Train Your Dragon.

The fantasy tale of these two showcased the bond between a boy and his dragon. The story was previously adapted to an animated movie in 2010. After almost 15 years, we got the live action ready and fans are reacting with love, nostalgia and a tub of tasty humor.

Fans are being exceptionally observant about the casting. Netizens brought attention to the fact that the casting for Horrendous Haddock III may have fallen short in perfection. But who are we to judge. The movie is hitting the theatres this year, will it be a hit? Well, we'll let time decide that.

According to online reports and social media posts shared, the cast meet and greet took place at the Epic Universe theme park in Orlando, where a heartwarming scene unfolded. A picture shared showcases Horrendous Haddock III gently sharing a warm moment with what looks like the set prop for the character of Toothless.

Somehow the only weird part of this is Hiccup’s cartoonishly large shoes

Another X user dropped the following comment, (via @vampir3queen1/X)

You're telling me a billionaire dollar company couldn't get a real dragon for this?
