When Grimmel rails against dragons, he treats them as inferior and as “thieves” and “killers”, thus conflating his prejudice with the bigotry of those who also lack familiarity with another group. This is where the muddled metaphor of the dragons becomes a serious obstacle to the themes of the film because in some scenes, dragons are supposed to be equals with humans.

Some may see this as a lesson in the impossiblity of coexistence, and that ultimately the antagonists who said that humans and dragons couldn’t live in peace were right. Even though the film spans new horizons, features a formidable villain, and takes viewers to the lush and luminescent Hidden World, the story is really about the end of Hiccup and Toothless’ journey together and what that ending means for both of them. The Hidden World feels more epic in scope than the last two Dragon movies even if its stakes are more intimate. ![]()
