Again, there are some nice touches of animation (the sheep!), yet the main storyline and subplots are rather forced in their handling of emotion and relationships. Writer-director Dean DeBlois perhaps missed a trick in not considering Cressida Cowell’s later books for adaptation.

Although bearing little resemblance to Cressida Cowell’s books (especially those earlier in the series), this film adaptation plays out with much the same heart. The ending is emotional without being saccharine and there are some nice touches of animation. Viva the sheep!
