This 2010 computer-animated film was directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois. It tells the story of an awkward teen-aged Viking named Hiccup and his friendship with the dragon Toothless. The movie idea came from a series of books about the adventures of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III that were "translated from the Old Norse" by Cressida Cowell.

Answer: The dragon breathes fire

Tubing was built into the sculptured dragon's mouth and it carries natural gas which allows the dragon to "breathe" fire every five minutes.

The legend tells that the dragon terrorized folk unless he was fed a young girl child each month. This continued until the only girl child left was the King's daughter. The king offered her hand in marriage to any that could slay the dragon. A cobbler's apprentice filled a lamb with sulfur and left it outside the dragon's den. The dragon ate the lamb, but soon thirsty, went to drink from the nearby river until he exploded! Everyone else lived happily ever after.

Answer: Man of La Mancha

The song "A Little Gossip" is sung when Sancho visits Don Quixote while he lies in a coma. Until this point in the show, Sancho has stayed with Don Quixote but never wholeheartedly accepted him or his "mad" ways, and here it is shown that he has changed his thoughts.

As Don Quixote said, "When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams - this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness - and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it ought to be!"
