Universal City, California, April 16, 2019 – Nearly ten
years after the first movie wowed audiences around the world, Hiccup and
Toothless return to captivate fans with an adventure of a lifetime in
DreamWorks Animation’s HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD. The final
quest from Dean DeBlois’ (Lilo & Stich, How to Train Your Dragon trilogy)
arrives on Digital and via the digital movie app MOVIES ANYWHERE on April 30,
2019 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD, and On Demand May 21, 2019 from Universal
Pictures Home Entertainment. Hailed as “the perfect conclusion to one of the
best animated trilogies of all time” (Scott Menzel, We Live Entertainment) and
certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes®, the film opened at #1 in over 40 markets.
The 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital versions feature over an hour of
exclusive behind-the-scenes bonus content including an alternate opening, two
DreamWorks animated shorts, deleted scenes and more.
To mark the film’s global 4K Ultra HD, Blu-rayTM and DVD
release, Universal has partnered with Facebook and Messenger to debut two
exclusive adorable Night Lights (baby dragons) to train and an awe-inspiring
in-store Augmented Reality (AR) experience. In pack, fans can unlock an
exclusive code that reveals your very own Night Light that you can hatch,
train, and send on adventures within the popular Dragon Pets Instant Game

AR adventure bringing Toothless and Light Fury to flight! Both the in-home and
in-store experiences are compatible with iOS and Android devices, and users

What began as an unlikely friendship between an adolescent
Viking and a fearsome Night Fury dragon has become an epic trilogy spanning
their lives. In this next installment, the heroic pair finally fulfill their
destinies; Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) as the village chief and ruler of Berk
alongside Astrid (America Ferrera), and Toothless as the dragon leader of his
own kind. As the Vikings and dragons of Berk face their darkest threat yet, the
evil Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham), and Toothless discovers his soulmate, Light
Fury – the bonds of Hiccup and Toothless' friendship are tested like never
before.
