How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World brings the epic animated trilogy to a close, and the How to Train Your Dragon 3 cast is filled with new and returning characters to give the franchise a fitting ending. Starting with How To Train Your Dragon back in 2010, the trilogy has followed the friendship of Hiccup and Toothless as they brought together once mortal enemies Vikings and dragons. The Hidden World picks up one year after the events of the sequel, with Hiccup seeking out the fabled safe haven for dragons that his late father had told him about.
