   The Live Action recreation of "How To Train A Dragon" hired animal trainers to train dragons for their live set movie production. 

   “These animal trainers must be having a lot of fun training these dragons, such harmless, peaceful creatures.” Robert Bob, one of the members of the production team said.

   As the animal trainers train dragons they found out that they are good listeners and listen well to instructions given by the animal trainers.

   “I’ve had such a great time so far training these dragons, they are so obedient and listen better than students in a classroom, their skills are incredible!” Liam Lee, one of the animal trainers hired for the movie said.

   Majority of the actors kept forgetting their lines mid-scene because they kept getting distracted by the dragons’ beauty and adorability.

   “I would be mid-sentence and then I would see a dragon walk across the set and I would forget everything. It's so mesmerizing and I can’t seem to ever shake it off.” Jon Adamss, One of the actors said.

 The producers of the movie brought in a member of the American Humane Association’s Film and Television Unit on set to get the “No Animals Were Harmed” certification.

   “I am not much concerned with the safety of the dragons and other animals that may be included in this movie. The production team and actors on set treat these dragons with much love.” Yelen Stan, the member of the American Humane Association’s Film and Television Unit brought on set by the directors said.

   However there is one concern that may have not qualified this movie for the “No Animals Were Harmed” certification. The production team and actors gave these dragons so much love it became too much for the dragons to handle. They received the attention of hundreds people and the love of many more that it is was slowly taking off the mental health of the dragons.

   “The directors have told us to reduce the amount of attention we give to these dragons not only to receive the “No Animals Were Harmed” certification, but also to speed up the production and productivity of the team. Me as well as most of the others try our best to focus but they are just too mesmerizing.” Bob said.

   Hoping to improve their productivity the director of the movie has ordered to record the scenes with dragons separate from the parts without dragons in an effort to help the dragons and increase their production speeds.
