Hilda und der Bergkönig

Hilda is a wonderful and pure Netflix series that I enjoy a lot. The film throws you right into the deep end, and I think it's really beneficial to have seen the series first.

However the story is wonderfully on brand, it had a really great plot, and it really benefits from having the full length of the film. I really love the fantasy elements to this series, and honestly it's so pure and fun.

It was nice to see some of the characters gain character growth within the film too.

The film is a sequel to the 2 seasons of Netflix show Hilda.

The 2 seasons together are some of the absolute best programs Netflix has ever produced. They're touching, emotional, funny, fantastical and real and are absolutely required viewing for everyone.

The film continues the show and brings charm, warmth, emotion and humour in spades. The story caps of the seasons in a way that is perfect when seen as a whole.

The only flaws I can see with this film is the fact it relies on people seeing the preceding show. Other than that, the voice work, the animation, the music, the story line etc. It's all absolutely fantastic.

Definitely my animated film of the year, it paid off everything the show had set up and showed me that the writer knew exactly what they were doing from the very start.

I'm more than happy if this is the conclusion of this series.

This film was a joy to watch. It was meaningful and sweet just like the Hilda series. I love how much they stuck to the series and all the little easter eggs they gave us. A really good film for kids and adults, beautifully animated and excellently told.

I can't recommend enough to watch Netflix's Hilda series! It's charming, intelligent, engaging, entertaining and positive, fit for any age category. Hilda and the Mountain King is not really a separate film, but a continuation of the two seasons of the show, so watching it without watching the series doesn't make a lot of sense.

Hilda is again put in a situation where established custom falls short and she has to figure out how to get to the truth and solve the problem, this time one that would affect everybody in Trollberg. It was a bit disappointing that the trigger to the entire film, the swap, was not actually explained. But other than that, the film was just as good as the series and probably just a rework of whatever they had done for season 3.

It's so sad that Netflix's strategy to get more viewers and money does not extend to caring for them once they are in. The system, as is, motivates them to make a lot of shows, but not to continue them. If a viewer felt for it and subscribed, that's great, it doesn't bring more money to continue the show that got them there. And that is probably what is happening with Hilda, too. I really really want to see the show continue, but at this rate, you should probably consider this film as a "wrap up".
