In How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, who directs the film?

Dean DeBlois directs How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

The Hidden World is the third and final feature film in DreamWorks Animation’s original How to Train Your Dragon trilogy. DeBlois wrote and directed the movie, continuing the creative role he held on How to Train Your Dragon 2. The first film was co-directed by Chris Sanders and DeBlois.

The story follows Hiccup as he leads Berk’s dragons while searching for a legendary hidden dragon refuge. Toothless encounters a Light Fury, and the relationship between the two dragons becomes central to the plot. The film also brings the trilogy’s coming-of-age themes to a conclusion.

A common confusion is attributing the entire trilogy to Chris Sanders, who co-directed the first film but did not direct the second or third. The Hidden World was released in 2019 and was inspired by characters from Cressida Cowell’s book series, while presenting a separate cinematic continuity.
