write and direct by Dean DeBlois ( who also worked on the previousHow to rail Your Dragonfilms),The Hidden Worldoffers a thematically satisfying finish to the larger fantasy adventure saga , along with all the heart and liquid body substance that audience have come to require from the franchise . Much like the originalToy Storytrilogy , theHow to Train Your Dragonmovies have grown up and matured alongside the contemporaries of nipper who ’ve come of age watching them . Indeed , The Hidden Worldis a born onward motion of the earlier flick , in the sense that it prove Hiccup struggle with far more grownup business than he had back when he first meet Toothless . Rest assured , The Hidden Worldis still utterly family - friendly and has something to extend audiences of all historic period . All the same , it ’s nice that the series ' characters actually evolve and spring up here , as oppose to repeating the same arcs again .
After nine years , of grade , the animation on theHow to educate Your Dragonmovies has only grown full-bodied in texture and colouration . The Hidden Worldis further bolstered by its action , which is not only some of the most impressively sleuth and wholesale in the franchise , but frequently unstages the spectacle featured in recent ( and more expensive ) live - activity tentpoles . cite for that belongs to DeBlois and his U. S. Army of skilled animator , as well as cinematographer Roger Deakins , who has answer as a optic consultant across all threeHow to Train Your Dragonfilms . It ’s not all nonstop excitement and adventure either , though there are plenty of both . In fact , some of the most striking visuals are sport inThe Hidden World ’s quieter and more serene minute , including a romantic chronological succession that rivals the famous " Define Dancing " panorama fromWALL - Efor downright cinematic verse .
TheHow to Train Your Dragonvoice cast are quite comfortable in their roles now and once again do fine work inThe Hidden World . The film even arrive at room to give Hiccup and Astrid ’s Viking peers - include , Snotlout ( Jonah Hill ) , Fishlegs ( Christopher Mintz - Plasse ) , Ruffnut ( Kristen Wiig ) , and Tuffnut ( who , in a welcome change , is now voiced by Justin Rupple rather than T.J. Miller ) - simple arcs of their own and flesh out their personality a little more . Admittedly , there are so many characters in the serial publication by now that some are given more to do than others , with Hiccup ’s female parent Valka ( Cate Blanchett ) and Eret ( Kit Harington ) arguably getting the brusk end of the stick . On the plus side , the villain Grimmel is amazingly memorable and a welcome upgrade from Drago inHow to aim Your Dragon 2 . He ’s not the most complicated baddie , true , but what Grimmel lacks in complexness he makes up for with his guile and the bold delight he takes in hunting Hiccup , Toothless , and the rest of the pack .
By this point , motion-picture fan have surely educate themselves emotionally forThe Hidden World , and with good reason . It ’s very much a touching parting to the hero and reality ofHow to Train Your Dragon , if not needs a moving picture that ’s as devastating asToy Story 3and likewise advanced offerings from animation studio like Disney and/or Pixar . That ’s largely becauseThe Hidden World ’s melodic theme simply are n’t as terra firma - breaking and challenging as those explored in other mainstream revivify films over the past ten eld . To be clear-cut , it ’s an affecting moving-picture show and will surely leave the strongest impression on those who were children when this enfranchisement got started . Keeping that in head : compare to the layered narratives explored in other animise features of belated ( includingThe LEGO Movieseries ) , the sprightliness lessons inThe Hidden Worldcome off find comparatively generic .
Overall , The Hidden Worldends theHow to Train Your Dragonmovies on a secure note and should n’t let down those who ’ve spent the last five years anxiously awaiting the last chapter in Hiccup and Toothless ' narrative ( well , final for now , anyway ) . It ’s very much a movie deserving reckon on the big concealment too , between its gorgeous liveliness and the charge score by John Powell , who also worked on the first two movies . Fair word of advice : those who have n’t seen the previousHow to Train Your Dragonfilms or overleap the 2nd entry will desire to capture up before checking this one out , see to it asThe Hidden Worldspends very little fourth dimension fetch moviegoers up to speed on who everyone is and what happen in the first two chapter .
