Venture Beat calls the sequel "a visual delight that has entertained millions of moviegoers this summer."
The success of the animation can be attributed to DreamWorks' "technological infrastructure."
"There are no limits on what we can do now," said director Dean DeBlois. "Having so many dragons and an army of thousands of soldiers is something we couldn't have done before. The software is extremely powerful and it allows our artists to express themselves."
But the software is not the sole reason for the success of the movie. As Venture Beat reported, "It took about 495 artists to make the movie."
Meanwhile, a third "How To Train Your Dragon" flick could already be in the works. As IMDb suggests, the new movie is slated for a June 2016 release date.
Jay Baruchel (Hiccup) shares some information on the third movie in an interview with Empire Online.
"The basement of this one has to be as good as the first one, ideally better. The best thing about the first movie was that it's fun, it's really charming and incredibly compelling, but also unexpectedly heavy at parts. And so all those same things are the essence of the second one, but amped up. The stakes are higher. We knew that we were doing our Empire Strikes Back."
"I have inklings, I kinda know where it's meant to go. I know where the books end up, I know some of the mile markers, I know what the end results will be," he added.
