That's exciting, and you get an epic and emotional feel from the whole thing.
Like many great stories, with the end in sigh, this clip looks back to the beginning. We see Hiccup as a baby, being held by his father, Stoick the Vast, who died a Viking's death in the last film. The relationship between Hiccup and Stoick is one of the central relationships in this trilogy, so it is cool to reflect on when Hiccup was a kid now that the end is in sight.
Stoick's narration also speaks to the overarching narrative and themes of this saga. Hiccup's destiny, to establish peace and understanding between different species, should finally be realized in this film. That peace all started with the beautiful friendship between Hiccup and Toothless that is central to the How to Train Your Dragon films. It is clear that The Hidden World will not forget that. The sun looks to set on the past and rise on a beautiful new world for these characters.
Personally, I don't need to see anymore; I'm sold. But I'm not going to say no to more trailers either, and it looks like another one is on the way. The clip lets us know that a new trailer for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World is on the way and will arrive on October 25th, so be sure to be on the lookout here on CinemaBlend.
