There’s always been a patient and underlying feeling of melancholy in the Dean DeBlois-directed “How to Train Your Dragon” series as its employed dragons and Vikings as a Trojan horse to explore the pains and thrills of growing up. Where “How to Train Your Dragon” examined expectations of youth and kinship amongst misfits and its sequel grappled with legacy, the third installment—lacking in the kinetic urgency of the former two despite being one long narrative chase— is still a whimsical meditation on self-acceptance and the need to move forward to truly grow up. The future can only be found through the always-courageous next step.
