Waiting for HTTYD 3

The much awaited HTTYD 3 is not going to be on theater screens any time soon. Most fans were impatiently waiting for May 2017 for the movie to be released. Now fans need to wait patiently for March 2019 to see the last of the trilogy. NBCComcast bought Dreamworks Animation in Apr 2016 and since then some restructuring and layoffs have happened. A decision to release just two movies per year has been takes, effectively moving ahead the release of HTTYD 3. This might also mean that many people who worked on the first two movies might not be around to work on the third part.



There has been talk about this being the movie which shows humans and dragons parting ways. In fact the story is supposed to stop where the Cressida Cowell books begin in a world where dragons no longer exist. One wonders what will happen to Toothless and how he'll fly if his tail gets damaged. The director has promised a roller coaster ride, but I do hope movie goers don't have to take entire boxes of tissue along to wipe their sadness away.
