故事團(tuán)隊(duì)可能承擔(dān)著電影攝制組最艱巨的任務(wù)：如果他們的故事情節(jié)不扎實(shí)，那么屏幕上出現(xiàn)的其他一切都將是無(wú)關(guān)緊要的。在馴龍高手中，故事以龍和維京為敵開始。正如原著中所述，小嗝嗝和沒(méi)牙仔在這種敵對(duì)的氛圍中發(fā)展出一種慷慨、秘密的關(guān)系?！斑@一動(dòng)態(tài)給了這個(gè)故兩個(gè)有趣的場(chǎng)景，接下來(lái)是雙重生活：白天的小嗝嗝變成了真正的維京人，到了晚上他便和敵人私通?！睂?dǎo)演Chris Sanders解釋道?！斑@兩個(gè)世界最終將會(huì)碰撞—這是結(jié)構(gòu)的性質(zhì)—所以他給了我們一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì)，在第二幕中出現(xiàn)一些崩潰，然后是一個(gè)小問(wèn)題，從而解決第三幕。”總策劃Dean DeBlois指出。?

故事團(tuán)隊(duì)最需要付出的努力之一就是找到戲劇、幽默和動(dòng)作的適當(dāng)組合。團(tuán)隊(duì)首先把思想投入到富滿感情的故事情節(jié)中，然后讓喜劇時(shí)刻出現(xiàn)在合適的位置上，只要他們沒(méi)有降低組內(nèi)的戲劇的影響力。Sanders說(shuō)：“我們的幽默來(lái)自人物的核心，他們獨(dú)特的個(gè)性和特征，比任何事情都更加重要?！蹦切┎徽J(rèn)可小嗝嗝的人所開玩笑的方式以及沒(méi)牙仔的龍之戰(zhàn)使他的人類騎手更加興奮，這是這種以性格為基礎(chǔ)的幽默的完美例子。同樣，這部電影中眾多動(dòng)作豐富的場(chǎng)景不僅是純粹的娛樂(lè)，他們還積極的推動(dòng)故事情節(jié)向前發(fā)展，同時(shí)也為觀眾帶來(lái)了令人興奮的冒險(xiǎn)。?

馴龍高手的設(shè)計(jì)理論中占據(jù)著主導(dǎo)地位的尺度意識(shí)也是故事的一個(gè)重要原則?！拔覀冎牢覀兿胍陔娪爸杏幸环N‘大衛(wèi)和歌利亞（David and Goliath）’的感覺(jué)，在這部電影中，故事中最小、最不被考慮的角色，必須面對(duì)巨大的東西。這就是我們?cè)陔娪敖Y(jié)尾時(shí)遇到的一個(gè)身體上、隱喻上的巨龍。”故事的負(fù)責(zé)人Alessandro Carloni解釋道。此外，值得一看的是，小嗝嗝與沒(méi)牙仔并肩作戰(zhàn)時(shí)，比任何人都要強(qiáng)大并且共同戰(zhàn)勝了紅死神。

原文：

The story team carries perhaps the most daunting task of a film crew: if the storyline they craft isn't solid, then everything else that appears on the screen is inconsequential. In How to Train Your Dragon, the story begins with the Dragons and Vikings as enemies. As in the original book, Hiccup and Toothless develop a powerful, secret relationship within this hostile atmosphere. "This dynamic gave the story an interesting act two, with a double life to follow: By day Hiccup was becoming a true Viking and by night he was consorting with the enemy," explains Director Chris Sanders. "Those two worlds are going to eventually collide-it's the nature of the structure-so it gave us a great opportunity to have something collapse in the second act, and then a big problem for Hiccup to fix in act three," otes Director Dean DeBlois.?

The sense of scale that was predominant in design theory for How to Train Your Dragon was also an important tenet for the story. "We knew we wanted a sense of ' David and Goliath' in the movie, where the smallest, least considered character of the story has to face something colossal. That is how we ended up with a physically, and metaphorically, huge dragon at the end of the movie," explains Head of Story Alessandro Carloni. Plus, it is simply rewarding to watch how Hiccup and Toothless together are much stronger than either one would have been individually in fighting the Red Death.
