A synopsis of the story

This is the third in the series of How to Train Your Dragon movies based on the books by Cressida Crowell. Hiccup (voice of Jay Baruchel) is now the chief of the Viking tribe of Berk, where he has created a peaceful haven for dragons. He discovers, however, that an evil villain named Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham) is capturing dragons with the aim of killing them all. Along with several of his men and women, including Astrid (America Ferrera), Hiccup attacks the fortress where the dragons have been imprisoned to set them free.

Grimmel has a secret weapon however, in the form a beautiful white night fury, (the light fury) which he plans to use to lure Toothless away. Grimmel believes that if he captures the alpha dragon then all the others will follow. Many battles ensue, and Hiccup decides that the only way for the dragons to survive is to find the mythical land of the hidden world, which his father had told him about. Hiccup leads his tribe on the search for this mysterious place with mixed feelings. Toothless must decide whether to follow his heart or his loyal companion.

Themesinfo

Children and adolescents may react adversely at different ages to themes of crime, suicide, drug and alcohol dependence, death, serious illness, family breakdown, death or separation from a parent, animal distress or cruelty to animals, children as victims, natural disasters and racism. Occasionally reviews may also signal themes that some parents may simply wish to know about.

Dragons; vikings; fantasy; warfare.

Use of violenceinfo

Research shows that children are at risk of learning that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution when violence is glamourised, performed by an attractive hero, successful, has few real life consequences, is set in a comic context and / or is mostly perpetrated by male characters with female victims, or by one race against another.

Repeated exposure to violent content can reinforce the message that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution. Repeated exposure also increases the risks that children will become desensitised to the use of violence in real life or develop an exaggerated view about the prevalence and likelihood of violence in their own world.

There is a lot of animated violence throughout this movie including:

• Many battle scenes where Vikings fight with Grimmel’s men using swords, axes and maces.
• The Vikings enjoy fighting each other for fun and during feasts they throw objects at each other.
• Guards are seen mistreating the caged dragons – whipping them etc.
• Grimmel uses a crossbow, which he fires at dragons on several occasions, killing them in the process. He shoots a sleeping man with it one time, but only sedates him.
• Light Fury at first charms Toothless but then she suddenly looks evil and burns a nearby tree.
• Light Fury takes Hiccup from Toothless’s back and drops him into the ocean.
• Grimmel shoots at both Light Fury and Toothless with his crossbow. He captures them both.
• Ships are set alight and are seen to break apart.
• Grimmel chases after Hiccup who gives up his own life to save Toothless and Light Fury and seems to fall to his death. (He’s saved in time).

In a nutshell

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is an animated adventure story in which the hero, Hiccup, must lead his tribe and dragons to safety to protect them from an evil villain whose aim is to destroy all dragons. It has a predictable ending and a weak storyline but will appeal to older children and teens. There is more violence in this movie than the original How to Train Your Dragon movie and therefore is not recommended to children under 8.

The main messages from this movie are to respect all creatures on the Earth and not to destroy that which we fear but to try to understand and conquer our fears.
