It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. 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. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.

Amazing animation, but otherwise nothing that would blow my mind. Just a fairy tale for kids.

Even better than the first part, mainly thanks to the story, because this time I didn't have the insistent feeling that I had seen it about a hundred times before. Twice I was moved by the other dragons, they entertained me from beginning to end, they were beautiful to watch and Powell's music was a joy to listen to as well as the original dubbing (Cate Blanchett's character is the real reason to watch the subtitled version).

An utterly charming and breathtaking sequel to the wonderful first part, which is both very funny and at times sad, but never pushes too hard. Toothless was again perfect, funny, adorable, perhaps an order of magnitude higher than the first installment. The characters have grown up noticeably, there was even some family drama, but as I said, all within acceptable limits. The story was decent and the peripeties unexpected, so I give it a thumbs up. In short, I went to the theatre for a guaranteed cinematic experience, which I got with all the right stuff: a smile on my face, a tear in my eye and a pleasantly astonished expression at the great technical workmanship.

The second film about this interspecies friendship was even better than the first one. Kristen Wiig made me almost laugh my head off. The animation was high quality again, the main characters were voiced by the right actors, and everything worked perfectly as a whole. I had fun.
