Rotten Tomatoes reported that the new DVD release will include,"a commentary track, deleted scenes, an almost hourlong making-of doc, profiles of all the dragons and war machines, and a nearly half-hour extra episode featuring the whole gang in a dragon race."
The much loved sequel stars Jay Baruchel (Hiccup), America Ferrera (Astrid), Gerard Butler (Stoick) and Djimon Hounsou (Drago) among many, and has already surpassed other 2014 animation releases like "Rio 2" ($496M) and "The LEGO Movie" ($468M).
Meanwhile, the movie has also been confirmed to return for a third time. "How to Train Your Dragon 3" has been slated for a 2017 release date. Although it is not sure whether fans could expect the return of some notable characters in the first two movies, Hiccup and Toothless will surely make a comeback to wow the audience for the last time.
