    Summary

    Reviewers say 'How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming' offers a nostalgic return with enjoyable holiday special vibes, praised for its animation and voice acting, especially from Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera. However, some find it unnecessary, disrupting the third movie's continuity, and criticize inconsistencies in character development and pacing. Despite these issues, the heartwarming themes and the reunion of Hiccup and Toothless resonate, making it a decent, if flawed, addition to the series.

    Prepare your cheeks to hurt from smiling so much!

    I'm going to keep this review short and sweet just like this film; it is wonderful!

    A nice send-off to the beloved franchise.

    Even though "How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming" may feel unnecessary - it's still a nice addition to the beloved franchise and giving us this time the final goodbye to the characters that we've known for almost ten years. It's even great that they brought back Jay Baruchel and America Ferrera to voice Hiccup and Astrid for one last time, because this short would not work without them. Even with it's flaws - it's a very enjoyable holiday special that everyone, including families will have fun while watching it. I'm giving "How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming" a 6.3/10.

    Great but...

    "How did it happen?" - Hiccup

    Basically that's what you get when people forget about things that were common for you.

    On the one hand the Special was great, hilarious in places and homecoming))) but I dunno, I have kinda strange mixed up feelings about it. Seeing Hiccup and Toothless not together is just... it doesn't feel right. Tamed once - tamed forever. And letting dragons go is like throwing your favourite pet cat or dog into the wild. Not only Toothless but also all other dragons that lived on Berk wouldn't be scared of humans and if they meet someone who has never seen dragons....

    The story was mainly concentrated on Zephyr and yet again as in Hiccup's case, she changed her mind when she actually saw Toothless and understood that he wasn't a thread. Well, maybe not exactly the same case, but the idea is the same: seeing and understanding that the thing is not quite what you think of it to be.

    So I don't think that without dragons Berkians would be able to preserve that love and care that hey had when dragons lived with them. Slowly in a couple of generations everything would return to the beginning when people were terrified of dragons and hunted them.
