Toothless Falls in Love in the ‘How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World’ Trailer
If you were trying to pick the best American animated movies made outside of Disney or Pixar, the original How to Train Your Dragon would be a very strong contender. It’s a beautiful movie, both visually and emotionally, with a lovely story about the friendship between a boy and his pet dragon, and some very cool images of them soaring together through the sky. (The first Dragon is also one of the better 3D movies that’s ever been made.)
We’re now on the third Dragon, following 2014’s How to Train Your Dragon 2 (along with eight seasons of a Dragons television series). This one is subtitled The Hidden World; here’s the sequel’s official synopsis:
From DreamWorks Animation comes a surprising tale about growing up, finding the courage to face the unknown…and how nothing can ever train you to let go. What began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has become an epic adventure spanning their lives. Welcome to the most astonishing chapter of one of the most beloved animated franchises in film history: How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Now chief and ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, Hiccup has created a gloriously chaotic dragon utopia. When the sudden appearance of female Light Fury coincides with the darkest threat their village has ever faced, Hiccup and Toothless must leave the only home they’ve known and journey to a hidden world thought only to exist in myth. As their true destines are revealed, dragon and rider will fight together—to the very ends of the Earth—to protect everything they’ve grown to treasure.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World opens in theaters on March 1, 2019.
