Rowan’s notes

I cried at this trailer. Not the film — the trailer. Three films’ worth of friendship between a boy and a dragon, and here is the moment they both start to realise it can’t last forever.

The Light Fury is the big new character, and the courtship scenes between her and Toothless are hilarious — he is so clearly out of his depth. Then there’s the Hidden World itself: a glowing cavern full of dragons that looks like the inside of a geode.

Visually it’s the most beautiful film of the trilogy, and the trailer leans into that. If you only know the first film, this is a very good reason to finish the story.

What to watch for

  1. Toothless trying, and failing, to impress the Light Fury.
  2. The first reveal of the Hidden World.
  3. Hiccup’s face in the last few shots.
