Hilda and the Mountain King

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.

Hilda and The Mountain King was a movie that I was really looking forward to because Hilda is one of my all time favorite animated series and it's definitely one that has had a huge impact on me as a person. From the first frame of the movie, you can definitely tell that they took full advantage of the fact that this is a film. With it being Hilda, it ended up having a lot of heartfelt moments and also had a lot of funny moments. I knew that it was gonna be worth the wait but this movie was so good that I ended up watching it twice on the day it came out and I've rarely rewatched a movie in the same day that I watched something. Sure I've rewatched a movie later on down the road but this was the first time that I rewatched a movie in the span of 24 hours and it is so worth it since there's never a dull moment through the 87 minute runtime.

Coming off the previous two seasons, there were very high expectations for the film, and I believe it's safe to say that they met and exceeded them.

The art matches that of the series, with gorgeously blended pastel colors and that warm soft lighting of which the show is known for. It's difficult to go ten minutes through the film without being presented a spectacle or landscape that leaves you in awe. The animation itself has been given noticeable refinements since the series, particularly in its character movement and speech animation. It's a subtle, but noticed step forwards.

Accompanying the art and animation is, like the series before it, a fantastic soundtrack. While it may have been more restricted this time, when it does make an appearance, it completely clicks with the aesthetic of the show and the plot in an amazing combination.

The film pushes our two main characters, Hilda and her mother Johanna, to their limits. The relationship between them had been growing more tenuous throughout the running of the series, and in the film it gets further attention and development.

Amidst all this, the other sub-plot regarding the threatening buildup of troll activity outside the city gets pulled to the fore within the film, and has its own bittersweet resolution.

Despite tying up the biggest loose ends from the previous two seasons, and the film being based off the final book installment of the same name, there is in fact a third and final season coming! It's uncharted territory, it could go anywhere.

"Our (last) adventure, Twig! Where should we go?"

First of all the original show was a masterpiece, judt perfect in everybway i could think of and truly made me feel good about life whenever i turned it on. Imo it was up there with the best animation shows like gravity falls and over the garden wall.

This movie was a great follow up and conclusion but not as good as the show, it is still really great and nice and completely worth a watch though.

When i found out this will be the end of Hilda i was very sad cuz it was honestly just quality content:,(

I watched this movie with a friend of mine and we really liked it, as always the art and music were FANTASTIC and the story was just totally awesome and heartwarming.

I must admit that me and my friend pretty much predicted everything in the movie but both of us are 15 so i dont think of it much and even with the movie being predictable, we both still really enjoyed it.

Just a really sweet movie thats a great ending for an amazing series:) i really loved this

so yeah, this was a very good movie and im very happy i got to watch it. Me and my friend were looking forward to this since it was first announced and it didn't let us down, totally recommend!

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.
