Ask Animator Dane Stogner!
How were the dragons of How to Train Your Dragon really trained? There's no one better to ask than Dane Stogner, supervising animator for Toothless! He is a preeminent Night Fury expert who worked on all three Dragon films and Gift of the Night Fury, in addition to his extensive work on many other feature films!

UPDATE: There is no reason to believe that this is related to the episode "Snoggletog - Pt. 2" or Rescue Riders in general. As far as we know, both the script below and Rescue Riders are still intended for release on Neflix and do not necessarily involve voice work from Jay. However, this is still a fun moment showing how Jay records for the films and TV show!

Have you seen The Hidden World yet? If you're from one of a couple lucky locations around the world — or if you're in the United States and were able to attend the early screening on February 2 — you probably have seen the film already and want to discuss the story and spoilers!

Five years ago, inspired by the "dragons, dragons dragons!" promo videos for Riders of Berk, we dragon fans edited together a video of all of us saying "dragons" to show how much we care about and appreciate the Dragons films, shows, and shorts, and to say thanks to the hundreds of people at DreamWorks who have contributed to the amazing universe of How to Train Your Dragon!

The full soundtrack for The Hidden World is expected to be released on February 1, just ahead of the film release in most places around the world. But if you can't wait until then, a sneak peek for each track is available on iTunes. In the player below are short previews of the 17 tracks of The Hidden World! This includes a preview of "The Hidden World" by John Powell and Jonsi (Track 13)!

DreamWorks has released a brand new clip from The Hidden World featuring baby Hiccup and Stoick, just in time for the U.K. release date of the film. The clip is an extension of the Stoick and Hiccup shots shown in the trailer, very similar to part of a sequence shown during the TIFF panel.

Here's a recently released collection of clips, and an interview with director Dean DeBlois.
This is likely intended for the Australian audience, where the film is scheduled for an earlier release on January 3.
Although there are no major spoilers in the clips, you might not want to watch these if you're interested in seeing everything for the first time in the theater.

In our discussion with Dean DeBlois a couple weeks ago, he told us that it might be wise for fans to "steer clear of social media for the next couple of months," telling us that details about the film might appear online ahead of the film release that — if he were a fan — he would not want to know.

This week, DreamWorks Animation filed for trademarks in the United States and Canada for a new name that seems very dragon-related: DreamWorks Dragons Dawn of New Riders!
This might be an updated name for the show we discovered several months ago, DreamWorks Dragons: Rescue Riders.

At the end of Dragonvine, Bayana befriends and teams up with the two newborn Silkspanner dragons that were found earlier by Hiccup, Astrid, and Gobber. But unlike most of the dragon companions in the Dragon universe, these two hatchlings don't yet have a name!
What do you think Bayana should name his two Silkspanners?
