Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) comes face to face with his greatest enemy, a dragon hunter named Grimmel (voiced by F. Murray Abraham). Meanwhile, Hiccup’s dragon Toothless falls in love with another dragon, called a Light Fury. Yes, the animation is gorgeous to look. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the fluidity of the film’s action, or the fact that the backgrounds actually look realistic. Once again, the film’s voice cast is incredible. It certainly helps that many of the actors have voiced these characters for multiple films now, so they honestly feel like they are comfortable in their roles. Newcomer F. Murray Abraham provides the villain Grimmel with an appropriate menace. Something this film, and by extension the whole How to Train Dragon franchise does that I absolutely love is the fact that the filmmakers give the dragons personality without them ever talking. The characters feel as though they have progressed with each entry in the franchise. I find it appropriate that each of the three films seem to be given a grander scale with each passing film. As much as I would honestly welcome more films in this franchise, I am honestly satisfied with this movie as the conclusion to a trilogy. This film seems like it legitimately has everything I could ask for out of this film. The animation is excellent. The story is excellent. The characters are excellent. This might just be one of my favorite films I have seen so far this year, and I don’t have a problem with that at all.
