"HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD"
(2019) (voices of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera) (PG)

QUICK TAKE:: Computer Animated Adventure: A young man tries to protect his pet dragon from a dragon slayer who's intent on killing it.

PLOT:

With the passing of his father and having now been reunited with his mother, Valka (voice of CATE BLANCHETT), young twenty-something Hiccup (voice of JAY BARUCHEL) is the ruler of the Viking island of Berk. Having previously proved to the Vikings -- including his late father's right-hand man Gobber (voice of CRAIG FERGUSON) -- that people and dragons can peacefully coexist, Hiccup and others -- including his girlfriend Astrid (voice of AMERICA FERRERA), obnoxious fraternal twins Ruffnut (voice of KRISTEN WIIG) and Toughnut (voice of JUSTIN RUPPLE), Fishlegs (voice of CHRISTOPHER MINTZ-PLASSE) and Snoutlout (voice of JONAH HILL) -- routinely rescue dragons and bring them back to their island where Hiccup's rare Night Fury dragon Toothless is their king.

But during their last rescue mission, they failed to spot another Night Fury, and longtime dragon slayer Grimmel (voice of F. MURRAY ABRAHAM) intends to use that female to lure in Toothless so that he can finally finish off the last of their kind. After a perilous run-in with that villain, Hiccup decides they must move Toothless and the other dragons to a hidden world his father once spoke of and where the dragons will be safe forever.

No one knows if that place is real, however, and while trying to protect Toothless from Grimmel and his ferocious Deathgripper dragons, Hiccup must come to grips with the fact that he might have to say goodbye to his beloved dragon forever.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: They will if they're fans of the previous two films.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG: For adventure action and some mild rude humor.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
