“It may have been small in difference, but cumulatively, it was a big step for us,” notes Otto.įor instance, when Hiccup and Toothless walked through wooded areas in How to Train Your Dragon (2010), backgrounds were flat with less detail, since, at the time, it was expensive and labor intensive to create scenes with rich vibrancy. The series saw a big leap in its animation pipeline going from Dragons 1 to Dragons 2 where new technology allowed them to overhaul the characters including the eyes, the skin, the way the hair moved and the backgrounds we find them in. “As filmmakers, we wanted to take this story visually where we haven’t gone before and tell it in the most exciting way.” “Dean had his mind set on a trilogy that would conclude with Hiccup and Toothless learning how to stand on their own feet,” says head of character animation Simon Otto. Now in its final chapter How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World illustrates how the animation has matured in complexity and detail alongside its resonating story of friendship. Director Dean DeBlois always knew How to Train Your Dragon would be a three-part series where fans would see its main character Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) grow up and bond with a loveable dragon named Toothless.
