Why "The Hidden World" ended with a 10-year time jump So this seemed like an opportunity to not only do the trilogy but also to have it end on that bittersweet note. That's just something we've always loved whether it was "Fox and the Hound," "Born Free," or "E.T.," or "Harold and Maude" - all these movies that had a greater impact on me and stayed with me longer than most other movies and stories I've come across. So much so that even if they part ways in the end, through death or otherwise, the effect is permanent and they will never be the same characters again.

Hiccup and Toothless in "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World." It was Hiccup as an adult reflecting back on his youth, and the first line was, "There were dragons when I was a boy."

They're all introductions to that theme you're going to have to deal with at several points in your life with greater impacts on your maturity as well. We wanted to build the whole story around that theme because you're right, when you're a kid something as traumatic as just having a best friend go to a different school or move away or the loss of a pet. That grief is very universal.ĭeBlois: That was certainly the intention. Anyone from a young kid heading into high school to a parent with kids going to college can relate. Renfro: What really resonates is the message about letting go of relationships or a phase in life in order to move forward. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
