An unreleased masterpiece finally comes to Japan, presented in the finest possible way.
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" in Concert makes its Japan premiere.
Winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film.
DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a rare sequel whose level of excellence rivals—and perhaps even surpasses—that of its predecessor.
Praised by both critics and audiences alike, the film once again delivers groundbreaking animation, outstanding storytelling, and deeply moving emotion in an epic new adventure.
When Hiccup and Toothless discover a mysterious ice cave where dragons gather, along with an unidentified Dragon Rider, the story sets into motion a fierce battle that will determine the future of both humans and dragons.
In How to Train Your Dragon 2 in Concert, the film will be screened on a giant screen above the stage while composer John Powell's thrilling and emotionally rich score is performed live in its entirety by a full orchestra, perfectly synchronized with the picture. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking world of cinema and live orchestral performance, where film and music become one.
Although How to Train Your Dragon 2 has been highly acclaimed around the world, it was never released in Japanese cinemas.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience this extraordinary work in a way that can only be enjoyed in a concert hall.
