How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World recap
A year after Stoick's death, Chief Hiccup and his riders free trapped dragons, and Berk is overcrowded with them. Hiccup dreams of finding the Hidden World, the dragons' homeland his father once told him about. The warlords who want the dragons hire Grimmel the Grisly, who has killed nearly every Night Fury, and he uses a white Light Fury as bait to capture Toothless. Hiccup moves all of Berk in search of the Hidden World. Toothless falls for the Light Fury, flies off with her and finds the Hidden World under the sea. Grimmel tricks Hiccup into leading him there and captures Toothless and the Light Fury.
