How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Cert: PG; Now showing

This much-loved franchise offers a third and final instalment of Nordic dragon tamers which are beautiful to look at and fittingly grown-up in emotional tone.

Although it is perhaps a bit heavy on the dragon romance for your average nine-year-old boy, it works very well and fans should be pleased.

Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) has grown up and become the leader of his band of Vikings. Their harmonious existence with the dragons is under threat so defying his self-doubt, Hiccup seeks refuge in the potentially mythical Hidden World. Growing up can feel bittersweet but is ultimately nothing to fear and this beautiful animation gathers a starry cast to make that point in what is a spectacular sequel and finale.
