14. Justin Rupple: There absolutely is an audience for Justin Rupple. I am just not part of it. His impression of Mark Wahlberg was good though. Social media had a mixed reaction to this act, with many of the naysayers singling out the fact that he was not very exciting to watch. I have to agree on that particular assessment. It will be...

It’s franchise time (when is it not) at the multiplex this weekend, though it’s not another superhero sequel or an even faster, more furious action series installment. No, this is fairly unique to this new century, this is an animated feature franchise. Back when Walt Disney made the first Hollywood cartoon features, sequels weren’t considered, rather the folks at the “Mouse House’ were well into the next iconic fable. That was still the case for many years after “Uncle Walt” left his kingdom, though The Rescuers returned a dozen years later. Sequels were mainly the domain of the “direct to home video” market (mocked in some circles as “cheap-quels”). Pixar changed this in 1999 when they too were making a home video follow-up to their first hit, Toy Story, and then decided that it was deserving of a theatrical release (brilliant move). One of their main rivals, Dreamworks Animation,...

Writer-director Dean DeBlois brings his wondrous Dragon trilogy to a spectacular finish with How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. The third and final part of the story from DreamWorks Animation faced an uphill battle since the first sequel, in 2014, earned $40 million less than the $217 million take of the 2010 original. In Hollywood, the bottom line drives the big decisions, so Dragon 3 looked destined for the chopping block. But DeBlois persevered and you’ll be glad he did. The Hidden World is the best Dragon yet — an animated action phenom...

It’s not often a studio as big as Dreamworks goes on record to say the third installment of a critically acclaimed series and box office success will be its last. Why paint yourself into a corner like that when the possibility for more is right at your fingertips? Dare I say the answer is integrity? That’s not a word you hear much in Hollywood, but I have to believe it’s the reasoning behind Dean DeBlois’ adaptation of Cressida Cowell’s How to Train Your Dragon. At a certain point the only reason to keep going is to cash in while the law of diminishing returns sets in quickly. So why not pump the brakes, iron out a thematically satisfying arc, and deliver a trilogy worth remembering?
Maybe it helps that this cinematic franchise has only been a “modest” hit at just over a billion dollars after two chapters.

In the year since his father (Gerard Butler) died and his mother (Cate Blanchett) returned from exile, Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) has assumed responsibility for Berk and rehabilitated hundreds more dragons from trappers across the known world. With the island now overpopulated and a new threat emerging in the form of Grimmel the Grisly (F. Murray Abraham), the feared dragon killer responsible for the near-extinction of the Night Fury, Hiccup must reckon with his dream of peaceful cohabitation and determine whether that is truly in the best interests of both species. The answer might lie in the mythical Hidden World, a long-rumoured haven for dragon-kind, but when Toothless becomes distracted by a female ‘Light Fury’ Hiccup faces the challenge of finding it without his best friend’s help.
The How To Train Your Dragon series has never been your average animated fare. Treated more like live-action than animation, director Dean DeBlois...

Nearly three decades after “The Simpsons” became a fixture on Fox, Bart Simpson is still 10 years old. Call it “the Peter Pan effect”: a never-grow-up miracle in which hand-drawn characters defy age in a way that flesh-and-blood actors find impossible. And then there’s DreamWorks Animation’s “How to Train Your Dragon” series, which has taken another path entirely, allowing its heroes — a band of misfit Vikings who’ve learned to coexist with the creatures they once feared most — to evolve as human beings, resulting in one of the greatest character arcs the medium has ever seen.
Hiccup, who first appeared as an awkward teen, has grown into a confident Viking leader for the island of Berk, John Krasinski-esque in appearance: strong, strapping, and beardless no more. The one constant through this process has been his friendship with Toothless, the sleek, obsidian-skinned Night Fury — a bat-winged Black Stallion,...

Having long since taught us how to train our dragons, DreamWorks’ franchise has moved on to bigger — and, it turns out, better — things. Rare is the animated sequel not part of the “Toy Story” mythos to justify its existence to anyone other than the kiddos, and yet “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” manages to do that by ending the now-complete trilogy on a high note.
That’s in part because the series has taken its time. It’s been nearly five years since “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” which followed the original by four years; we’ve now been watching Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III (Jay Baruchel) and his dragon Toothless grow up for nearly a decade, and the movies have come of age with them. Directed once again by Dean DeBlois, “The Hidden World” strikes a bittersweet chord in reminding its young audience that all good...
