But the one I've enjoyed the most, is the conclusion of Disney's Star vs the Forces of Evil. But that's another topic for another day. Right behind SvtFoE is the third and final How To Train Your Dragon movie.
Yes, here in 2019 How to Train Your Dragon 3 came out.
While writing this post I found that trying to have a meaningful post about the movie is... difficult. I'm trying to take this post in a direction where I can say something about why I liked it/them. Because I did. A LOT.
Okay for starters, I personally loved all three movies and I'm glad to have some form of closure on the story of Hiccup and Toothless.
That's an opinion I have, but that's too bland. Need more.
I'd love to say that How To Train Your Dragon is the movie franchise I grew up with. My version of Toy Story to people born in 1988-1992, BUT I can't. Because I didn't watch the first two until my junior year of college. I've also yet to see the animated series. I knew about HtTYD because it was a pretty big hit in 2010 (as it should've been because it's wonderful!), but I didn't see it at the time because I was a dumb dumb who thought he was too cool for "kids" movies.
At the same time I'd like to think that there is something to me growing up with the franchise though. Even though I saw the first two films later than probably intended, they still entertained me. I was in college but my inner 11 and 14 year old selves were/are still with me. Fast forward to 2019, I'm really pushing the young-adult label (at this point I'm an adult now, which again is harrowing) and then this movie comes in. Right when I'm starting to think about the next post-college chapter of my life, so too does the movie in it's own way. Hiccup is all grown up now, just like I am (in theory). He's moving on with his life too.
I felt something there. Something that I wish I could articulate a lot better.
That said, I know that this concept isn't novel. This isn't the first series to do such a thing and won't be the last. But it's the one that struck ME personally. This is my coming of age story (sort of).
I guess that's the best I can do because anything else I have to say just amounts to me liking the movie on its own merits.
Toothless is as cute as ever and seeing where he ended up was really heartwarming.
The world in this franchise is as amazing, vast and beautiful as ever. I used to think very poorly of CGI animation but this series especially showed me just how much can be done with the medium. The colors, the atmosphere, everything. It was practically like I could even feel the air and actually be there. This is was one of the few movies I'd seen that I wish I had seen it in 3D.
Unfortunately Topps didn't release a card set for the movie this time around. Shame. So I just ended up buying more cards from the second movie. A lot of these are hard to find so I need to snatch these up when I can.
Now to find a Toothless plush doll.
As always thanks for stopping by and take care :).
