Seriously. This started too late in my teen years to be overly attatched, but time progression like this always rocks my socks.
...and thus the greatest animated trilogy of all time concludes
but what about Toy Story?
(gunshot)
THE GREATEST ANIMATED TRILOGY OF ALL TIME!!!!

That was a great trailer
You do realize this is aimed for kids/adolescent, so the trailer will be skewed in that fashion
Like do you really want gritty, dark trailer?
Shit when they went through the dragon nursery I was like yeah 4K HDR is going to be mind blowing in those scenes
Theyre not advertising to you personally as a grown ass person, it's mostly to get kids to pester you to take them to see it but parents also enjoy it

Honestly if it's like 2, they will save the dark stuff for the movie itself.
Much to the chagrin of director Dean DeBlois. It was a studio decision, as is usually the case, and he argued mightily against it.
At least they kept the BIGGEST spoiler under wraps.
This scene from the first movie is still on of my all time favourite movie scenes.
Thrilling plus when hiccup throws the instruction manual away and flies on instinct and the music shifts its one of the biggest 'fuck yeah' moments for me.

I mean the third one followed 2, and 2 was just bloody amazing.
It's for people who scroll past it on Twitter, in hopes that they like what they see and watch the full thing.
Make sense. It's all the rage now. Just today I saw a video game trailer that did the same exact thing.
I loved the first one (and especially the second one), but yeah, Kung Fu Panda 3 took a turn for the worse for me. I enjoyed it, but as a cumulative whole, part 3 made it fall short of what I'd consider a great trilogy.
Berk's Grapevine has a transcription summary of said AMA with DeBlois. Just scroll down past their screencaps collection.
In addition to the "learning to let go" theme, other interesting tidbits include:
-"Light Fury" isn't the official name of the new species of dragon, but a term coined by Astrid and Hiccup. She's not a Night Fury per se, but a variation of said species with her own set of abilities. She also isn't the last of her kind.
-The Hiccup/Astrid relationship will be further explored. To hear DeBlois word it, it seems like their relationship will reach its logical conclusion. Marriage?
-Even though the "hidden world" itself appears to be heavily fantasy-infused, they're still aiming to keep it grounded in reality. There's "an otherworldly feel, and yet, the idea was to create a believable world that could exist beneath our own."
-Despite her absence in the trailer, Valka will be featured in the movie. As an extension of her role from part 2, she'll be a dragon rescuer trainer to the people of Berk.
-They're setting out to make Grimmel a multi-faceted villain. "Cunning, charming, witty, and accomplished & confident in his abilities" are all used to describe the new baddie being voiced by F. Murray Abraham. They wanted to create an intelligent nemesis for Hiccup.
-Roger Deakins returns as visual consultant. Say what you will about these movies, but the cinematography and overall look of these films are second to none for these types of animated features. I'd like to think that's largely in part to Deakins' masterful eye.
-Both John Powell and Jónsi will be returning for music duties. Presumably we'll be getting a new original song performed by Jónsi.

My favorite scenes in the trailer. I screen-capped the walk out of the fire and set it up as my desktop background.Yes please.
Then that Thor level chain lightning!
Ok trailer, still in
Yup
Not a big fan of 3D, but I just cannot recommend it enough when it comes to the HTTYD. The flying scene in Imax 3D was AMAZING

Looks ok.
The poster on the other hand, made me laugh for the wrong reasons.
*looks at his refletion* -> "The friendship of a lifetime." LOL

The first film is easily one of my favorite animated films. Powell's score really elevates the key moments.
DeBlois alludes that the movie will stick to the film trilogy's chronology of characters and events.
EW.com put up a new feature ahead of the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, where the filmmakers discussed the series and showed off clips of the new movie. Berk's Grapevine covered the details of those clips over on their Twitter page; some of the scenes' descriptions may be considered spoilery, so check them out at your own risk. Parsing the more general details, we learn that:
-The filmmakers are emphasizing the finality of this franchise for not just the movies, but potentially for the TV series as well. Says DeBlois: "We thought about it for a long time and came up with what we think is a bittersweet way to say goodbye to these characters, but the right way." It seems like they really are tying everything up with this one, or, at the very least, they're choosing to bookend the film in a very definitive fashion.
-The movie plays with time more than the previous two films, so in addition to flashbacks, we'll also be getting flashforwards. The former makes the most sense for Gerard Butler's Stoick to make a return, and indeed EW details one such flashback sequence.
-The hidden world itself was inspired by a vivid dream DeBlois once experienced. As mentioned before, it may appear to be heavily fantasy-infused, but they're still aiming to keep it grounded in reality. There's "an otherworldly feel, and yet, the idea was to create a believable world that could exist beneath our own." To that point, the world is rooted in some semblance to the science of ancient undersea caves.
-The filmmakers are immensely proud of the new location they've created. Says EW: "The grand scope of the hidden world suggests something of a fitting culmination for the studio. The franchise's final fantastical reveal, in a series bursting with them, marks the technological pinnacle of the How to Train Your Dragon team's achievements over the course of a decade."
-One of the Light Fury's abilities is to "heat her scales into a mirror-like, essentially invisible surface." Also Berk's Grapevine states, "The Light Fury makes cute noises. You think Toothless sounds cute? Just wait."
-The clips shown were using temp music from the previous movies. One particular scene appears to be entirely music-driven with no dialogue, much like how Forbidden Friendship and Romantic Flight played out in the first Dragon.
-They say the music will begin recording next month, which seems to imply that John Powell has already begun writing and even nearing completion of the score.
