If DreamWorks felt the need to trademark these, then they are probably important for the plot (as well as merchandising). So I'm expecting some new dragon toys!

I heard that the photos that I just posted from the forum may have been stolen from the DreamWorks campus rather than taken at CinemaCon. I don't know whether this is true or not, but in the meantime, I have taken these images down. Sorry.
If anyone thinks they know the real source of these images, please tell me in the comments.
UPDATE: Please stop sharing the photos on Tumblr and Facebook, and please link people sharing them to this page. Thanks!
UPDATE 2: I have contacted DreamWorks, and they would like the images taken down as well. Although it sounds like they did not come directly from the DreamWorks campus, the images were not released to the public (or intended to be online), so I feel uncomfortable keeping them up on this site.
Please help them out by deleting the images you shared.
UPDATE 3: According to frostyjackk, here is an explanation from the original poster of the images:

UPDATE 3: According to frostyjackk, here is an explanation from the original poster of the images:
"There is a small office in Bentonville Arkansas that is acting as a vendor for Walmart. That’s where I took the pictures. I am NOT a Dreamworks employee, I’m just someone who walked in when the door was finally unlocked."

According to several sources, Fox screened a preview of How to Train Your Dragon 2 featuring Toothless and an aged-up version of Hiccup, as has been rumored. No one has seen the actual footage yet, but we do have several descriptions.
IGN describes the extended trailer:
The trailer opens with Hiccup (masked and in armor) riding Toothless over the ocean where what appears to be winged whales swim across the surface. Hiccup then leaps from Toothless and goes into freefall through the clouds, plummeting toward the surface. But then Hiccup's spreads his arms and his armor turns into a medieval version of a squirrel suit (like the ones seen in Transformers 3) and he and Toothless fly alongside each other. HTTYD 2 opens in 2014.And io9 describes Hiccup, the "leather-tricked out hottie":
Hiccup is clad head-to-toe in protective flying leathers. In fact, you can't even see his face until the end, when he rips off his leather helmet (how they didn't make this guy do a slomo hair shake is beyond us). His leg is still gone (an unfortunate injury from the first movie) but it's been replaced with an inventive prosthetic that we're sure Hiccup created himself. Toothless and his buddy race to the sky and then Hiccup jumps off his back, skydiving as a pair towards the ground. But when the ocean appears below the clouds, Hiccup spreads out his arms and reveals leather wings (like a flying squirrel). Together the two fly across the waves.Who knows whether the this footage will be released to us normal people any time soon. But if it does, I'll be sure to post it here. And if you have any more information, please post it in the comment or leave a message!
Last month, DreamWorks trademarked the phrase "How to Train Your Dragon 2: Battle for the Skies." It is registered under the same categories as "Dragons 2: Secrets of the Ice Cave" from a while back, so we may have found another potential sequel title.
We also heard that the sequel title may be in the form "How to Train Your Dragon 2: D.O.T.A." O.T. likely stands for "of the," although the D and A are less certain. What do you think the rest stands for?
Finally, I also found a recent trademark for The Croods referencing an animated TV show!
Two photosets and a video have been released from Toy Fair 2013 showing the new Defenders of Berk toys in all their glory. Check them out here:

In the spirit of Easter, we are officially announcing our first ever Gronckle egg hunt! I have hidden several Gronckle eggs (like the one Astrid is holding) on articles across the site!
Click on the hidden eggs to reveal exclusive production images from How to Train Your Dragon 2!
Stay away from the comments if you don't want the position of the eggs to be revealed! (And no, the Gronckle egg in the logo doesn't count.)
