How to Train Your Dragon 3D: The Hidden World
The arrival of a female Night Fury turns Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and his dragon Toothless's lives upside in the third entry in the franchise based on Cressida Cowell's novels. Dean DeBlois - nominated for a directing Oscar for each of the previous two films - returns to write and direct.
Hiccup and Toothless will finally discover their true destinies: the village chief as ruler of Berk alongside Astrid, and the dragon as leader of his own kind. As both ascend, the darkest threat they’ve yet faced will test the bonds of their relationship like never before.
