Official Synopsis: The thrilling second chapter of the epic How To Train Your Dragon trilogy brings back the fantastical world of Hiccup and Toothless five years later. While Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island’s new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace.
I have only recently seen How to Train Your Dragon, but that doesn’t mean I am any less excited for its sequel. The animation of the first film was amazing, and this looks as gorgeous as ever. We saw the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless develop previously, and they have clearly grown even closer, but I don’t think it will be a big focus this time around. I am more interested to see how the relationship between Hiccup and Astrid has developed since the end of the last film. Even just in this trailer, it seems much of the comedic elements (both dialog and Toothless’ actions) that made Dragon so enjoyable is retained. A good sequel raises the stakes, and this appears to do just that. Drago seems like a worthy threat to not just the dragons, but all of Berk.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 hits theaters June 13, 2014. Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill, America Ferrera, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse all reprise their roles from How to Train Your Dragon. They are joined by new comers Djimon Hounsou, as Dragon, and Cate Blanchett, as Valka.
