Story
5 years have passed since the peace between the Vikings and dragons came on the island of Oluh. Young heroes (from the first film) play with each other in a "dragon race" by the sheep, while Icking explores the world surrounding the island and makes a map. After the game, Icking catches up with Astrid on the dragon - Icking admits to her that his father wants him to become the leader of the tribe. After the conversation, they fly up to the icy settlement, where they meet a ship under the command of a dragon hunter named Eret, who trades by capturing dragons for a conqueror named Drago the Bludvist.
The goal of Drago is to take control of all dragons, and then the whole world. Hiccup wants to convince Drago so that the latter does not fight. In thought, flying above the clouds, he meets a masked dragon rider. He leads him to an ice cave, which serves as a haven for previously unknown species of dragons. The rider is Icking's long-lost mother, Valka. In the cave, Hiccup learns that all dragons obey the king of dragons - the Great Smutyan [5] , who can control them. Unlike any other dragon Hiccup has encountered, Smootyan “breathes” ice instead of fire.
Icking's father, Stoic, tracks down his son in this cave and seeks to return him to Oluh. There he discovers that his wife is still alive. After they again recall the old song that they once sang to each other, they decide to return to Oluh. However, Drago attacks with his army of Vikings and dragons on the island, where the black dragon (a representative of the same breed as the Smootyan) brings the advantage in battle. The battle begins, in which the Great Smutyan perishes, having missed a blow to the side with tusks. Having announced victory, the Evil Smutyan subjugates all the dragons around, including Night Fury with his hypnosis. Toothless's mind is controlled by the Evil Smutyan, who serves Drago. The latter gives the order to Smutyan - to kill Icking, and he broadcasts the order to Toothless.
Stoic and Valka hurry across Toothless to save Icking. The dragon fights the order of the Evil Smutyan, but still spews flame. At this moment, Stoic overshadows his son, dying from a shot by Toothless. Drago saddles the night fury and, with a new army of dragons, sets off to capture Oluha. Hiccup with his mother and friends bury Stoic according to the Viking rite, setting fire to a boat with a body with arrows. The main character decides that he must stop Drago and return Toothless. Since all adult dragons flew away after the Evil Smutyan, Ikking uses baby dragons, because they do not obey anyone, and therefore are not available for Hymutyan hypnosis.
Hiccups with his friends fly to Oluh to fight Drago and his army. There, Ikking takes Toothless out of a trance, repeating the phrase several times that he is his best friend and extending his hand to him. Drago orders the Evil Smutyan to kill Icking and Toothless. After several unsuccessful attempts, the Evil Smutyan shoots at Icking, but Toothless manages to cover him with himself, after which they both ended up in ice. After a few seconds, the ice illuminates the inside with blue light and begins to glow - Toothless finds new strength in himself to melt it with his whole body.
Freed from ice, Night Fury falls into a certain state of fighting rage: its body begins to glow in places, its firepower doubles (Toothless makes 12 volleys instead of its 6). After which he challenges the leader and receives support from the army of dragons, who, waking up from hypnosis, help defeat the Evil Smutyan. The last shot of the Night Fury breaks the left tusk of Smutyan, fleeing him along with Drago. Dragons Oluha, Drago and Valki bowed to Toothless, recognizing him as the new leader. Hiccup kisses Astrid. Oluh is free, and Hiccup begins to rebuild the island as the new leader of the Vikings.
Cartoon Creation
In his speech at the HP World Tour in Beijing , studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg described how close collaboration with Intel ® allows you to take revolutionary steps in animation. Thus, the jointly developed project - “ Apollo Platform ” - allowed artists to evaluate multilayer complex animation in real time, rather than wait for an eight-hour rendering [6] . This is the first studio film to use new animation and lighting software called “Premo” and “Torch” [7] . These programs allowed us to more deeply study the facial expressions of the characters, such as: a feeling of fat, sagging, movement of muscles under the skin, and not as previously their general movement. [8] .
