March is primed to be a big month for Prime Video, and not just because mid-March will feature the anticipated return of Invincible Season 2. The second half of Prime Video's critically acclaimed animated superhero series is undoubtedly exciting, but the service will also be launching several exciting movies this month, with feature films ranging from beloved classics to brand-new original films. Prime Video subscribers can expect to see one of the most successful horror films of 2023, a star-studded comedy, an anticipated remake of an action movie classic, and more hit the service this March.
To learn more about just a few examples of the movies coming to Prime Video this month, here are seven of the best films coming to Prime Video for March 2024.
'How to Train Your Dragon' (2010)
Available: | March 1 |
Run Time: | 1 hour 38 minutes |
Directors: | Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders |
Starring: | Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, and Kristen Wiig |
First up, one of DreamWorks' finest will be soaring onto Prime Video this month with the original How to Train Your Dragon. The premise for the beloved animated classic is incredibly simple, centering around a young aspiring Viking named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) as he unexpectedly befriends an injured dragon named Toothless. It's a pretty standard "kid and their monster companion" type story, but How to Train Your Dragon absolutely excels in its impeccable execution. Remarkably well-developed characters, visually stunning animation, an enchanting musical score, and more make this revolutionary animated adventure still shine nearly 25 years later. The trilogy may have concluded, but the franchise is still as prolific as ever. We already know that a live-action remake of the film is on the way, and it's been confirmed by Universal Studios that the IP will have its very own land and rides themed to How to Train Your Dragon in its upcoming "Epic Universe" theme park in Orlando.
How to Train Your Dragon will be available to stream on Prime Video starting Friday, March 1.
