How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (also known as How to Train Your Dragon 3) is a 2019 American computer-animated action fantasy film loosely based on the book series by Cressida Cowell. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures, it is the sequel to How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) and the third and final installment in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy.[4] Written and directed by Dean DeBlois and produced by Bonnie Arnold and Brad Lewis, the film stars the voices of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, Craig Ferguson, and F. Murray Abraham. The film follows Hiccup as he seeks a dragon utopia known as the «Hidden World» while coming to terms with Toothless’ new bond with a female Fury, as they deal with the threat of a ruthless dragon hunter named Grimmel the Grisly.
The first discussions about a second sequel to How to Train Your Dragon began in December 2010 when DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg announced that there would be a third film in the series. DeBlois stated that the first sequel was being intentionally designed as the second act of the trilogy. The film underwent changes for release dates due to distributor changes. The animation challenges of the production required DreamWorks Animation to update and invent new software to handle complex tasks, such as lighting the Light Fury dragon.
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was released on January 3, 2019, in Australia, and on February 22 in the United States. The film marks the first DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by Universal Pictures, three years after parent company NBCUniversal acquired DreamWorks Animation in 2016. Like its predecessors, it received acclaim from critics, who praised its animation, voice acting, musical score, and emotional weight of the conclusion.[5] It grossed over $525 million worldwide, becoming the fifth highest-grossing animated film of 2019, as well as Universal’s highest-grossing animated film not to be produced by Illumination. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World received several awards and nominations: five nominations for Annie Awards and a Golden Globe. At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Animated Feature.
Plot[edit]
One year after becoming chieftain,[N 1] Hiccup, his Night Fury Toothless, and their fellow dragon-riders continue to rescue captured dragons to bring them to Berk and its bustling dragon-human utopia. Their efforts have resulted in the island becoming overpopulated with dragons. In response, Hiccup desires to find the «Hidden World», a safe haven for dragons spoken of by his late father, Stoick. Meanwhile, a white female Fury dragon, held captive by warlords, is given to infamous dragon hunter Grimmel the Grisly as bait for him to capture Toothless for the warlords’ use as an alpha.
Toothless discovers the white Fury in the woods, and the two become enchanted with each other until the white Fury, sensing Hiccup’s and Astrid’s nearby presence, flees. Astrid then dubs the white Fury a «Light Fury». Hiccup and Tuffnut later discover Grimmel’s dragon traps in the area. Grimmel visits Hiccup that night, demanding he hand over Toothless while revealing he single-handedly endangered the Night Fury species, but Hiccup has prepared an ambush for him. Grimmel escapes while his Deathgripper dragons burn down Hiccup’s house and most of Berk. Hiccup then rallies the citizens and dragons to leave Berk on a quest to find the Hidden World and safety from dragon hunters.
Mid-journey, the Berkians discover an island on which they initially plan to rest, but soon begin to settle there, dubbing it «New Berk». Seeing Toothless’ inability to fly solo hindering his growing relationship with the Light Fury, Hiccup rebuilds an automatic tailfin for him.[N 2] Upon receiving it, Toothless flies off, meeting up with the Light Fury and flying with her to an unknown land. On a scouting patrol, Valka notices Grimmel’s approaching army and reports back to Hiccup. Hiccup and the dragon riders head to capture Grimmel but fall into his trap and barely escape. Ruffnut is captured but irritates Grimmel until he lets her go.
Hiccup, Astrid, and her dragon Stormfly, searching for Toothless, find the Hidden World and see Toothless and the Light Fury leading the dragons as a happily mated couple. When the two humans are soon discovered, Toothless rescues them and returns them to the Berkians, with Hiccup realizing that his people would be intruders and unsafe in the Hidden World. Ruffnut returns, but unbeknownst to her, Grimmel had secretly followed her to New Berk. Grimmel appears and captures Toothless and the Light Fury, who had followed them to New Berk. Toothless’ alpha status allows Grimmel to capture the rest of Berk’s dragons by holding the Light Fury hostage.
With Astrid’s encouragement, Hiccup sets out with the dragon riders to stop Grimmel and his army. Gliding on wingsuits, they catch Grimmel’s army off-guard, igniting a battle, and freeing the dragons. With help from Stormfly, Hiccup frees Toothless while Grimmel drugs the Light Fury into obeying him. Hiccup and Toothless give chase and defeat Grimmel’s Deathgrippers, but Grimmel tranquilizes Toothless midair, causing the dragon to fall helplessly. Hiccup, realizing he cannot rescue Toothless alone, frees the Light Fury and implores her to save Toothless. Hiccup is fully prepared to sacrifice himself to save Toothless as both he and Grimmel plummet toward the sea, but the Light Fury returns in time to save Hiccup, while Grimmel falls into the ocean.
Back on the island, Toothless and Hiccup fully realize that dragons will never be safe in the human world, at least for the time being. Hiccup bids an emotional farewell to Toothless as the Berkians tearfully set their dragons free to live in the Hidden World, the Light Fury leading the dragons away and Toothless following them. Sometime later, Hiccup and Astrid finally marry and become the chieftains of New Berk.
About a decade later, thirty-year-old Toothless and the Light Fury have mated and given birth to three hybrid dragon fledglings. Hiccup, Astrid, and their two children[N 3] sail across the sea to visit them at the edge of the Hidden World. After introducing his son and daughter to his old friend, Hiccup and Astrid take their children flying on Toothless and Stormfly, accompanied by the Light Fury and their offspring. Hiccup vows that until humankind is ready to co-exist peacefully with one another, the dragons will stay hidden while the Berkians guard their secret as the centuries go by.

Production[edit]
In December 2010, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg announced that there would also be a third film in the series: «How To Train Your Dragon is at least three: maybe more, but we know there are at least three chapters to that story.»[12] Dean DeBlois, the writer and director of the second and the third film, stated that How to Train Your Dragon 2 was being intentionally designed as the second act of the trilogy: «There are certain characters and situations that come into play in the second film that will become much more crucial to the story by the third.»[13] DeBlois said in an interview that the third part would be released in 2016.[14] Although the series has taken a different path of telling a story of Hiccup and Vikings, author Cressida Cowell revealed that the trilogy and the book series will have similar endings (with «an explanation as to why dragons are no more»).[15]
The film was produced by Bonnie Arnold[16] and Brad Lewis. DeBlois and Chris Sanders were the executive producers; Sanders was an executive producer of the second film and co-director of the first.[16] Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Kristen Wiig returned in the third film,[16] with Justin Rupple replacing T.J. Miller as Tuffnut.[10] DeBlois revealed that Miller did originally return to voice Tuffnut, but DreamWorks recast him after the actor’s sexual assault allegations and arrest for calling in a fake bomb threat.[17] Cate Blanchett also reprised her role as Valka from the second film.[6] On November 14, 2017, it was announced that Kit Harington would reprise his role as Eret and F. Murray Abraham had joined the cast.[7] During the earlier stages of production, DeBlois stated that Djimon Hounsou would also return as Drago Bludvist.[18] It was even planned to have Drago redeemed by the film’s end, but halfway through development, DreamWorks co-founder Steven Spielberg convinced DeBlois that the story of Drago’s redemption required more screen time that they could not provide, causing his inclusion to be scrapped.[19] On April 17, 2018, DreamWorks Animation announced that the sequel’s title would be How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.[20][21] The animation challenges of the production required DreamWorks Animation to update and invent new software to handle complex tasks, such as lighting the Light Fury dragon.[22]
Music[edit]
John Powell, who composed the previous two films, returned to compose the film’s score.[23] In addition, Powell’s collaborators Batu Sener, Anthony Willis, and Paul Mounsey are credited as additional composers. Also returning from the previous films, Jónsi wrote a new song for the film, titled «Together From Afar», which was released as a single on January 31, 2019.[24] Jónsi also provided vocals for a track titled «The Hidden World».[25]
Release[edit]
In September 2012, 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks Animation’s then-distributor partner, and the studio itself announced the film was originally going to be released on June 17, 2016.[16][26][27] In September 2014, the film’s release date was pushed back a year from its original release date of June 17, 2016 to June 9, 2017.[6] DeBlois explained the release date shifts as such: «It’s just that these movies take three years. I think it was a little ambitious to say 2016… As is normally the case, they kind of throw darts out into the future and wherever they land they call that a release date until we start talking about it in practical terms, and then it’s like, ‘Uh yeah that’s not enough time’. So knowing that they take three years from this moment, from outlining and writing the screenplay through to the final lighting of it, it’s just a process of building models and doing tests and animating, storyboarding, the whole thing just adds up to about three years.»[28]
In January 2015, the release date was pushed back a year from June 9, 2017 to June 29, 2018 following DreamWorks Animation’s corporate restructuring and lay-offs meant to maximize the company’s «creative talent and resources, reduce costs, and drive profitability.»[29][30] On June 18, 2016, the release date was moved up from June 29, 2018 to May 18, 2018, taking the release date of the Warner Animation Group’s The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.[31] On December 5, 2016, the US release date was pushed back from May 18, 2018 to March 1, 2019.[32] The release date was moved up for a final time from March 1, 2019 to February 22, 2019, taking the slot of The Turning, a live-action DreamWorks film which in turn was pushed back to January 24, 2020.[33][34]
Home media[edit]
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment released How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World for digital download on May 7, 2019, and on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, and DVD on May 21. Physical copies contain two 2018 short films: Bilby and Bird Karma.[35]
Video games[edit]
Unlike the first two films of the trilogy, The Hidden World does not have a tie-in game based on its plot. Instead, there are two games set before the events of the film, which are the top-down action adventure game DreamWorks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders available on consoles and personal computers (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows)[36] and the match-3 game Dragons: Titan Uprising for mobile devices (iOS and Android).[37]
Reception[edit]
Box office[edit]
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World grossed $160.8 million in the United States and Canada, and $361 million in other territories, for a worldwide gross of $521.8 million, against a production budget of $129 million.[3] Deadline Hollywood calculated the film’s net profit as $130 million, accounting for production budgets, marketing, talent participations, and other costs; box office grosses and home media revenues placed it 12th on their list of 2019’s «Most Valuable Blockbusters».[38]
In the United States and Canada, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World held early screenings at 1,000 theaters on February 2, 2019 and grossed $2.5 million, one of the highest advance showing totals ever.[39] It was released alongside the wide expansion of Fighting with My Family, and was initially projected to gross $40–45 million from 4,259 theaters in its opening weekend.[40] After making $17.5 million on its first day (including $3 million from Thursday night previews), weekend projections were increased to $60 million. It went
on to debut to $55 million finishing first at the box office.[3][41][42] The film made $30 million in its second weekend, retaining the top spot, before being dethroned by newcomer Captain Marvel in its third.[43][44]
The film grossed $1.5 million on its opening day in Australia, setting a record for a DreamWorks Animation film in that country (surpassing Shrek 2). In New Zealand, the film grossed $173,000 on its opening day, ranking as DreamWorks Animation’s second biggest opening day in the country, behind Shrek 2.[45] By its third weekend of international release the film has grossed a total of $41 million.[46] As of March 24, 2019, the film’s largest markets in other territories were China ($53.7 million), Russia ($26.8 million), France ($25.0 million), United Kingdom ($24.8 million) and Mexico ($21.0 million).[3]
Critical response[edit]
On review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 90% based on 275 reviews, and an average rating of 7.3/10. The website’s critical consensus reads, «The rare trilogy capper that really works, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World brings its saga to a visually dazzling and emotionally affecting conclusion.»[47] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 42 critics, indicating «generally favorable reviews».[48] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of «A» on an A+ to F scale (the same score earned by the first two films), while those at PostTrak gave it a 90% positive score and a 77% «definite recommend.»[42]
Jennifer Bisset of CNET praised the voice performances of the main characters, while also citing the visuals and action sequences, and singled out the development of the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless, saying, «Continuing a series-long focus on family and love, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World narrows on what those values mean for Toothless. He experiences romance. He grows up. And with heavy, satisfied hearts, we let him, and Hiccup, go.»[49]
Michael Nordine of IndieWire gave the film a B, saying, «Directed once again by Dean DeBlois, The Hidden World strikes a bittersweet chord in reminding its young audience that all good things — including the age of dragons — must come to an end.» He later went on to applaud the CGI, lauding the «arresting visuals», and stating that «The animation itself is striking — an early sequence in which the sky is filled with dragons is an early sign of the visual treats to come — and ends up being the film’s highlight.»[50] Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave a positive review of the characters and emotional messages of the film, writing «More bittersweet and less triumphal than its predecessors, and directed by a returning Dean DeBlois, The Hidden World concerns the exigencies that Hiccup faces as a leader, both politically and personally. If you truly love that dragon you trained, its message says, let him go.»[51]
Conversely, some critics felt the film had the presence of too many juggled sub-plots and an obligatory ending, with Movie Crypt concluding that «Fans will enjoy seeing their characters grown and progressing as story arcs are closed, but the final resolution rings hollow. Ultimately, none of it appeared necessary other than a need to say goodbye; the dragons and their champions certainly earned a better conclusion than that.»[52] Kerry Lengel of The Arizona Republic says that «The plot is thin and holey and the characters are mostly just a single gag set on repeat» and calls it «a lazy effort.»[53]
Accolades[edit]
Future[edit]
A live-action film unrelated to the animated trilogy was announced to be in development. It will be produced by Marc Platt Productions and distributed by Universal Pictures, with DeBlois set to return to write and direct. It is scheduled for release on March 14, 2025.[85][86]

«In early drafts of ‘Dragon 3’, we did focus on the return of Drago. I’d always intended to give more dimension to the character by showing a redeemed version of him by the development of ‘Dragon 3.’ Midway through the development of ‘Dragon 3’ I was asked to come up with a fresher take that wasn’t dependent on ‘Dragon 2.’ … So very wisely, Steven Spielberg had said to me, ‘The redemption story of Drago requires so much screen time you don’t have in order to really sell it properly, and you would do yourself a disservice to try to force it in.’

Berk
One year after the events of the previous film, Hiccup continues to rescue dragons with his fellow Dragon Riders and friends. Even though he has fulfilled his dream of creating a utopia where humans and dragons live together, Hiccup still tries to save dragons and bring them to Berk while dreaming of finding the mythical ‘Hidden World’, a safe haven for dragons his late father Stoick told him about. Unfortunately, his efforts have also resulted in the island becoming severely overpopulated with dragons. Meanwhile, a white female Night Fury-like dragon, held captive by the Warlords, is given to the famed dragon hunter Grimmel the Grisly as bait for him to capture Toothless for the Warlords’ use as an Alpha.
Toothless when he sees the Light fury
Toothless discovers the female Fury (dubbed a «Light Fury» by Astrid) in the woods around Berk, the two quickly becoming enchanted with each other; yet, the Light Fury senses Hiccup’s presence (him having followed Toothless) and flees. Hiccup and Tuffnut later discover Grimmel’s dragon traps in the woods. Grimmel visits Hiccup that night, but the latter has prepared an ambush to capture him; Grimmel manages to escape, burning Hiccup’s house and many others in the process. Hiccup rallies Berk’s citizens and dragons to leave Berk on a quest to find the Hidden World.
Mid-journey, the Berkians discover an island which they initially plan to rest on; soon, though, they decide to settle there, even if only temporarily. Seeing Toothless’ inability to fly solo hindering his growing relationship with the Light Fury, Hiccup builds him an automatic tail. Upon receiving the tail, Toothless flies off, meeting the Light Fury on his own and flying with her to an unknown land. Valka, on a scouting patrol, notices Grimmel’s approaching army, quickly reporting back to warn Hiccup. Hiccup and the Dragon Riders head to capture Grimmel; yet, they fall into his trap, barely escaping. Ruffnut, however, is captured but irritates Grimmel until he lets her go. Unknown to Ruffnut, she has accidentally revealed the Berkians’ new location and Grimmel secretly follows her.
Toothless and the Light Fury in the Hidden World
Hiccup and Astrid search for Toothless, finding the Hidden World and seeing Toothless and the Light Fury leading the dragons there as Alphas and mates. However, the two are soon discovered, Toothless being forced to leave and take Hiccup and Astrid back to the Berkians. Hiccup realizes his people wouldn’t be safe living with dragons in the Hidden World, and moreover, have no business intruding upon the dragons’ home. Suddenly, Grimmel, having followed Ruffnut, appears and captures Toothless and the Light Fury.
Hiccup and the Gang going to free the dragons
With Astrid’s encouragement, Hiccup sets out with the Dragon Riders to stop Grimmel and his army and save Toothless, the Light Fury, and all the captured dragons. Gliding in on wingsuits, the group catch Grimmel’s army off-guard, igniting a massive battle. Hiccup frees Toothless, while Grimmel drugs the Light Fury into obeying him. Hiccup and Toothless give chase; after a heated aerial duel, Grimmel tranquilizes Toothless midair. Hiccup, realizing he cannot save Toothless by himself, frees the Light Fury instead and asks her to save Toothless. Hiccup and Grimmel plummet to the sea with Hiccup fully accepting that this may be his end. The Light Fury, however, unexpectedly returns to save Hiccup, while allowing Grimmel to fall to his death.
Toothless Leaving Hiccup
The battle being over, back on the island, Hiccup fully realizes that the dragons will likely never be safe in the human world and that the Hidden World is where they truly belong. With great sadness, Hiccup and Toothless bid farewell to each other as all of the Berkians set their dragons free. Toothless and the Light Fury then lead the dragons to the Hidden World. Months later, Hiccup and Astrid get married as the Berkians settle permanently onto their new island. Afterwards, Hiccup, Astrid, Valka, Gobber, Eret, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Snotlout, and Fishlegs stand at the edge of the cliff looking off towards the Hidden World wishing their dragons were there.
Years later Hiccup, Astrid and their two children, Zephyr and Nuffink, sail across the sea to visit Toothless, the Light Fury, their three offspring and Stormfly at the edge of the Hidden World; Hiccup vows that until mankind can coexist peacefully with dragons, the dragons will stay hidden while the Berkians guard their secret.

Trivia
- Rotoscopers had posted two April Fools articles on the third film:
- On April 1, 2016, Rotoscopers posted an article saying that the 3rd movie was originally going to have a PG-13 Rating; however, this was an April Fools prank, as stated behind the «Original Source» link at the bottom of the article.
- On April 1, 2017, Rotoscopers posted an article saying that the 3rd movie was being split into two movies; the second of which was due out in 2020; however, this was an April Fools prank, as stated behind the «Original Source» link at the bottom of the article. It fooled millions; however, and even IMDb launched a page for «How to Train Your Dragon 3, Part 2» until informed fans had it taken down.
- On April 17, 2018, the title How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was confirmed.
- The film’s theatrical showing is preceded by two original DreamWorks Animation shorts, Bilby and Bird Karma.
- Due to the recent sale to NBC Universal, DreamWorks Animation took a year and a half hiatus through 2018 to reorganize.
- The company’s first film once they were back in commission was How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.[2]
- Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera are the lead voice actors in the film.[3]
- The line at the beginning of the trailer and Hiccup’s closing narration, «There were dragons when I was a boy.» is a reference to how the How to Train Your Dragon books started and ended.
- On January 2, 2019, it was confirmed that Justin Rupple is replacing T.J. Miller as the voice actor of Tuffnut Thorston.[4]
- The film was first released on January 3, 2019 in Australia and New Zealand, mid-January in the Netherlands, February 1, 2019 in the U.K. and February 22, 2019 in the U.S.
- At the end of the film, as they are going their separate ways, Hiccup touches Toothless’ snout in the exact same way he did at their first meeting.
- According to Dean DeBlois, giving a subtitle to the film is an idea from Universal’s marketing; however, he himself sees the film as a «3».[5]
- According to Dean DeBlois, about ten years had passed between the goodbye scene and the epilogue.[6]
- During Hiccup and Astrid’s wedding, a image of Toothless can be seen and it is the same image from the poster of the first How to Train Your Dragon film.
- This is the only film where Hiccup doesn’t say the first line «This is Berk».
- This is also the only film where the line «we have Dragons» isn’t spoken at the end.
Errors
- When Barf and Belch make their first appearance, their «fires» are switched: Belch emits the gas while Barf ignites it with sparks.
- As the Dragon Riders fly around Berk, some of the dragons in the background are frozen.
- In the Great Hall while everyone is eating, Toothless is wearing his saddle, but when he growls at a Hobgobbler soaking in a cauldron of soup, the saddle and all its attachments are suddenly gone.
- In Hiccup’s house when Astrid joins the ambush on Grimmel, she pushes aside a curtain to reveal herself. A moment later when the Deathgrippers attack, we see Astrid looking behind herself, and then in a wider camera shot she jumps to the floor, in which the curtain is gone.
- Right after Toothless returns Hiccup to New Berk after escaping the Hidden World, Hiccup looks up at some buildings under construction on a hilltop. At the end of the same scene, right after Grimmel abducts Toothless and the Light Fury, the same buildings are seen again in the background, but finished.
- In the very first glimpse of the wedding, Astrid’s Mother has brown hair, but her hair is blonde in all closer shots.

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
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.
For How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, series director Dean DeBlois returns alongside the all-star cast. The film is produced by Brad Lewis (Ratatouille, ANTZ) and Bonnie Arnold (Toy Story, How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2).
