Is it just me or was the movie too short for the amount of character development DreamWorks tried to pack into 100 minutes? Everything seemed rushed. I would kill for a ~180 minute long HTTYD 3 movie. DreamWorks could really learn from Peter Jackson. It would have been great to show that Drago was more complicated than a mad-man (e.g. Captain Ahab). I would love to have been able to see more flashback scenes of Valka being ostracized, but I suppose it would have been redundant given that we already saw Hiccup's ostracism in the first movie. Also, Hiccup should have been more distraught. He was too quiet; he was more distraught in the cloud scene before masked Valka shows up. What happened to the raw emotion Hiccup showed in the first movie when Toothless almost killed Stoick in the first movie? However, Hiccup's "silence" was perfect for the funeral scene. |

I think that httyd2 should have been atleast 150 minutes long, they missed out so much... |

Better in Silhouette Form

Animation is expensive. How expensive? Well... I'm afraid the only way we're getting 180 minutes is if Katzenberg "convinces" DeBlois to split the third film in two. |

The real Hiccup
|
I think they did it short to keep it moving fast. That, and they don't want to make a family film too long because it will lose the attention of younger viewers. |

I think they could have give more time for Stoick vs Hiccup relationship, They should have shown the scene where Hiccup wakes up and talks with Stoick instand of the scene where he tells Astrid. Would be an important scene. |

I thought that this movie was longer than Dragons1? Maybe I'm wrong, I didn't check

I thought so, too. But I don't mind. There are movies out there that are so long with lots of pointless character development and I feel if it was longer it would be ruined completely. |

If there were deleted scenes (even if they were storyboard pictures), I wish DreamWorks would release a director's cut version of the movie like Peter Jackson's four hour long versions of the LOTR movies. |

Yeah, it did feel pretty short and that made some of the scenes seem super rushed. They could've definitely added at least another half hour of character development, I think. |
