How to Train Your Dragon 3 is an upcoming 2016 American 3D computer-animated fantasy action film by DreamWorks Animation. The film is loosely based on the book How to Train Your Dragon by Cressida Cowell. It the sequel to the 2014 computerised-animated film How to Train Your Dragon 2.

The film instalments follow the life and turbulences of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock 3. According to the original storyline, he was a great sword fighter, a dragon whisperer and the greatest Viking Hero who ever lived. But it wasn't always like that. In fact, in the beginning, Hiccup was the most put upon Viking you'd ever seen. Not loud enough to make him heard at dinner with his father, Stoick the Vast; not hard enough to beat his rival, Snotlout, at Bashyball, the number one school sport and certainly not stupid enough to go into a cave full of dragons to find a pet. From all this he raises to become the Hero we know today.

In December 2010, Dream Works CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed that there would be a third film of the series: How to Train Your Dragon. The writer and director of the third film, Dean DeBlois, said that the first sequel of the instalment How to Train Your Dragon was being intentionally designed as a second film in the trilogy. Having made and interesting film of the second installment, the third and probably last film is expected to be as good if not better hence the high anticipation by the fans of the movie.
