Art Brown and Doug Sloan are the executive producers of DreamWorks Dragons: Race to the Edge in addition to producing Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk, so you can bet they know a lot about the world of dragons! And now it's your chance to ask them about the new show!
As is usual with Berk's Grapevine interviews, all questions will be reader-submitted! So if you're curious about Race to the Edge or want to know what happens behind-the-scenes as an executive producer, leave your question as a comment on this post. Or, if you think someone else has submitted a question you would like to hear, upvote their comment.
Obviously, you can't expect them to reveal too much about Race to the Edge — that would be no fun. But if you're curious about anything, be it the characters, the story, the new dragons, or how the series ties in with the films, no one will be able to answer it better!
Question submission open until Monday, April 20
To make sure your question is considered, try to submit it before the deadline.
All questions must be submitted on this page's comment thread.
Is it likely that Heather or the Flightmare will be seen again?
ReplyDeleteHow much will we see of Ruffnut and Astrid? They are usually treated as extensions of Tuffnut and Hiccup so it would be nice to see more of their individuality.
ReplyDeleteWithout saying spoilers, do you think we can expect to see baby Nightfuries? The whole world will die with cuteness if we see them. :D Also. will these episodes get released on DVD?
ReplyDeletePlease make sure all top-level comments are questions for Art Brown and Doug Sloan! (Relevant discussion is fine underneath them.) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteya it would be, Astrid's like my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteWill the dragons (mainly the riders') have more personality and character development in the new season? Any more scenes with them interacting with each other without any humans around would be nice to see too.
ReplyDeleteSince the teens will be sharing a house together, will we get any awkward/hilarious situations?
ReplyDeletewait a minute, june 26 is summer, not spring!! WHY!!
ReplyDeletethat's what I said. I hope we get to see baby nightfuries too :)
ReplyDeleteIs there anything you can tell us about Adelaide Kane and Alfred Molina's characters?
ReplyDeleteHow does the series tie into the movies and how do you determine what information gets revealed in the series (instead of the movies)?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that only those who can afford Netflix get to see this? sone of us non Netflix watchers love dragons too!
ReplyDeleteextensions? lol
ReplyDeleteCan you tell us anything about Dagur? Incredibly awesome villain in my opinion...so funny but dangerous :) Hoping he would make a return! We hear he's going to be back for revenge but can you tell us a little bit more about his motivations? Could he be getting a dragon of his own?
ReplyDeletehow much closer are hiccup and astrid in their relationship?
ReplyDeleteI heard the series was only being aired on Netflix. What about those of us who want to watch it, but don't have Netflix?
ReplyDeletewill the series ever be released on a TV channel or JUST on Netflix?
ReplyDeleteAre Hiccup and Astrid going to kiss eventually in this season? We missed one in Defenders of Berk and they only kissed 6 or 7 times on camera. I'd like to see maybe the first time Hiccup ever was comfortable initiating a kiss =)
ReplyDeleteWill the Skrill return for any reasons?
ReplyDeleteIm actually really excited about the Cavern Crasher dragon, what could we expect it to do in the series?
What about the new tribe that also have a respect for dragons? Do they respect and worship them, or actually ride them as well?
Can you reveal (no pun intended) anything about the mysterious Dragon Eye?
Last, but probably the most important in my opinion, on the island in the Netflix teaser, where the teens are all hanging out, will that island actually be in the story?
Will there be any good episodes of Hiccup and Astrid maybe coming an item? I wanna see how it all become of them. Cuz in the last 2 seasons didn't show much. And if there together for real in the 2nd movie, i wanna know how it started. :)
ReplyDeletewill there be more backstories for the dragon riders?
ReplyDeleteis mildew returning?
ReplyDeleteNetflix doesnt exist in my country . does the series will be uploaded on any other website like youtube ?
ReplyDeletehow close the relationship between astrid and hiccup ?
Is the animation in this series changed from the last series? Are you guys using the same animation software as the last series or did you guys add new animation features? How many new dragons are there going to be in this series?
ReplyDeleteMy question is what would you say is similar or different about the TV show compared to the movie?
ReplyDeleteIs there an edge involved in race to the edge or is it a metaphor for not an edge?
ReplyDeleteWell since it's a world filled with dragons, are we going to expect to see any other mythical creatures in the show as well? Gryphons, gnomes, etc.
ReplyDeleteI want to ask what we are looking at with the new world with the dragon eye and the new out post
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance that dragons which were featured in the Book of Dragons short (Timberjack and Snaptrapper) that haven't showed up yet in the series will appear in these 13 episodes? Could they make an appearance later in the remaining 39 episodes?
ReplyDeleteWill any of the Outcasts still be loyal to Dagur?
ReplyDeleteAnd what about Dagur's armada? Did Alvin take them them prisoner too?
With the second movie now out has it given you more room for creativity? Also has it allowed you to touch on things you may have previously been unable to touch on in the last two seasons due to them being aired before the second film?
ReplyDelete1. How much involvement did Dean DeBlois have in the process of creating the story arc for Race to the Edge as opposed to previous seasons?
ReplyDelete2. How does the Dragon Eye tie into the larger framework of the HTTYD universe?
3. Will we see any other characters from Cressida Cowell's novels make an appearance in Race to the Edge (Camicazi, Excellinor, etc)?
Will Heather show up in Season 3? If so, will she show up as a villain or one of the supporting characters?
ReplyDeleteMy guess that is going to be the "Dragon Island" from the previous two seasons, with Hiccup's own twists added.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it. In HTTYD 2, Hiccup had said that maybe he might find another "Night Fury" which means that he had only found Toothless. Then again, the producers might make an exception.
ReplyDeleteWill Heather return? Even just for one episode? I want to see expansion on her relationship with the other riders!
ReplyDeletewill there be snaptrappers, timberjacks, or robber's boneknapper please i've been waiting so long to me them in action, will hiccup and his friends meet again and show us how they learned to train whispering deaths, changewings, skrills, typhoomargs, fireworm queens, smothering smokebreaths, or speed stingers from scratch that would make it perfect, and will heather return with at least a dragon of her own like a scauldron a timberjack a whispering death or a changewing that's what i've been dreaming
ReplyDeletewill there be snaptrappers, timberjacks, or gobber's boneknapper please i've been waiting so long to me them in action, will hiccup and his friends meet again and show us how they learned to train whispering deaths, changewings, skrills, typhoomargs, fireworm queens, smothering smokebreaths, or speed stingers from scratch that would make it perfect, and will heather return with at least a dragon of her own like a scauldron a timberjack a whispering death or a changewing that's what i've been dreaming
ReplyDeleteoh and will they show us where skullcrusher and grump came from
ReplyDeleteWhy is Toothless so small? He doubles in size in httyd 2... So is Toothless going to have a growth spurt?
ReplyDeleteWhere are they? I mean we all know it's not Berk in the trailer, will this be like college for the riders?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you most looking forward to about this season?
ReplyDelete1. Will any of the characters from the books show up? (Like Camacazi, Thuggory, Big Boobied Bertha, etc.)
ReplyDelete2. Will any other Tribes come up?
3. Will we see some of Hiccup's training to become Chief?
4. The whole fandom loved Hiccup's new look. What were the gang's reactions?
5. Will we see some flashbacks of a younger Hiccup? (Maybe a cute 5 yr old?) (I for one would like to see an episode where he's remembering his past and how far he's come)
I hear some of the villains are gonna have some ties to Drago. Are we gonna see anything that hints to Valka?
ReplyDeleteWhy hiccup's top is red? Do we have shirtless Hiccup screens?
ReplyDeleteI'm an animation student at the Cleveland Institute of Art looking to one day work for Dreamworks. It is my dream job. My question is more technical than it is about the plot (though I REALLY want to see more of the Skrill).
ReplyDeleteI've been guided through the entire pre, working, and post-production process by my professors so I know about render times and how long animation actually takes.
My question is this: how long does a typical episode take to make? The rigs are already there, then it's a matter of getting the voices recorded and synced to the animation or vise versa. But how long does one episode typically take, from storyboarding to animation to post production to marketing and publishing/airing? This is literally my future so I am INCREDIBLY interested.
Thank you very much!
Miranda Pavelle
Is there will be a completely all dragon species?
ReplyDelete(spoiler) Hiccup kissed Astrid at the end of the 2nd movie.
ReplyDeleteAs producers of the show what do you think about the move to Netflix?
ReplyDeleteHow has it affected your work load?
And do you find it any different working on and distributing the show through Netflix then when the show was aired on a TV network?
(For an example before hand you were airing an episode a week now it's quite a few all at once then a wait period. From your perspective is that vastly different or is it still more or less the same. With no noticeable difference on the work load to make and distribute the episodes at all.)
Will we get to see Hiccup without his prosthetic on as it feels like it is just glued on now and it would be good show kids what its like to live with one?
ReplyDeleteWill the music in the series be the same as the first two season of dragons or will you guys just mix it up? Or are your guys going to use the music from HTTYD 2 and mix it up/tune like your guys did for in different situations (ex: fighting scenes, action scenes,ect.) like the last 2 Seasons?
ReplyDeleteWill Trader Johan return or find Hiccup and the gang again?
ReplyDeleteWill Alvin The Treacherous come back or not?
ReplyDeleteSo it take more time to animate hiccup and the gang (since they grown up and changed) and all of the series since there is more things in the new series? If so how long does it take to make a episode?
ReplyDeleteIf there are people who are interested in watching THIS series but haven't watched the Last seasons of dragons would they understand it or do they have to watch the first two Seasons before they watch this one?
ReplyDeleteDo they dragons get bigger in this series and more fatter
ReplyDelete? (since they are changing) is the color on the dragons get more lighter or darker from the last series?
How many storyboards do you guys make for a episode and season in all?
ReplyDeleteWill seasons 1 and 2 be available on Netflix?
ReplyDeleteWill the new episodes be released on DVD?
Which dragon species from Rise of Berk can we expect to appear?
How is the Snow Wraith different from the Woolly Howl?
Will there be new dragon riders from Berk, like Gustav?
Could he see Hiccup training a new class of dragon riders?
Will we see Hiccup creating new inventions?
Why does Hiccup have red tunic instead od green under his flying suit?
ReplyDeletethx for this great chance :
ReplyDelete1- will we see some hiccstrid ?
2- why did u choose this name , cuz all the fans thinked that it'll be dragons : something of berk ...?
3-is there how stoik and gobber met their dragons ?
4-daguer will come back?
5- how did u get the idea of the dragon eye ?
6-drago will stay in good?
7-when the other 13 episodes will came out ?
and thx very much!
I want to know if there are to be more seasons after this one based off after the second movie?
ReplyDelete1) Why are you calling the new season Race to the Edge instead of "something" of berk like the last two seasons?
ReplyDelete2) Will Dagur or any other past characters from the TV series be returning intro the series?
3) From what we've seen in the trailer the team have moved to a new island, is it possible to know where and why they decided to move away from Berk(did they decide to have a new/bigger dragon academy)?
5) Will we find out who/where the Dragon Eye came from, did someone make it or is it some sort of prophecy(how much will it effect the story)?
6) Are the gang traveling into new country's/cultures(Rome, discovering America?)
7) Finally, will we discover anything on Nightfurys(evidence of more, why toothless glows etc.)?
P.S Sorry for the mountain of questions! XD :S
Why this season is have to be on netflix ? Why if not on cartoon networks . Becuz I can not watch it . ? #justwondering
ReplyDeletewill drago or the bewilder beast return
ReplyDeletewill the screaming death or skrill return for any reason
Hey,
ReplyDeleteWill we finally see the Timber Jack this time round (I know you probably can not answer this but I feel like I needed to ask)
and
How will the Episodes be released? Will it be on a weekly basis or every month? I still have not figured out the whole netflix release thing.
IcelandicEel, I have a question! When we last time asked questions in this post here: http://www.berksgrapevine.com/2014/11/your-chance-to-interview-toothless.html
ReplyDeleteWhy we never saw the interview? Was it cancelled or did something else happen? Or maybe I just missed it? Also, do you know why we must suddenly be logged in to vote comments. I can't do it and it annoys me. ;_;
will drago or the bewilder beast return
ReplyDeletewill the screaming death or skrill return for any reason
is stoick dead or he will return back
1)will Dagur be coming back?
ReplyDelete2) will any charaters from the books be 8n the new serise?
3)how much Hiccstrid will there be?
4)how many new dragons will there be?
5)are all the Race to the Edge episodes going to come out at the same time?
i looked my eyes out when i saw the new dragons
ReplyDeleteTHIS PROMISES TO BE AMAZING
How many new dragons will there be in the series?
ReplyDeleteis dragons race to the edge going to been shown on dvd?
ReplyDeleteWhy is season 3 only going to be on Netflix? Could you not air it on TV too?
ReplyDeleteAre there any new characters that might go in rivalry with Astrid for Hiccup or vice versa? :3
ReplyDelete(Is it okay if I ask 2 questions? I will just in case...)
ReplyDeleteCould you tell us when a longer trailer will be coming out? If not a specific date, a time of month would be fine
And also does it come out on the UK Netflix in June as well? I just want to know when I can write it on my calender
Thanks for answering peoples questions! It's really awesome of you guys ☺️
Can we see more of Astrid being awesome and actually getting to save the day a few times instead of just getting rescued? Will Snotlout stop being annoying and ruining everything?
ReplyDelete1. How much of the story will actually take place on Berk? And will we get to see Hiccup putting his inventions to use on Berk?
ReplyDelete2. Will we get any kind of back story for the twins, Fishlegs, and Snotlout?
3. Will Mildew, Mulch, Bucket, and Heather be in this series as well?
Will the Scauldron or Screaming Death Return?
ReplyDeleteWhy Scauldy the Scauldron was gone.
This is Scauldy The Scauldron but a new account.
What happened is that to post, I need to verify my email.
But my email is disabled cause of stupid Yahoo.
What was the most difficult thing did the crew faced in terms of story, animation, and basically everything else?
ReplyDeleteWhat motivated to you to expand upon the movie franchises?
Do you think we'll see the Skrill again? He got frozen in Defenders of Berk, so it seems possible that that effect could be reversed.
ReplyDeleteAlso, with the second movie already having been released, how did this effect your production of the new season. Did you have more liberties or more restrictions in any areas? What has the second film's release (along with the aging of the characters) allowed you to explore in this season that RoB and DoB were unable to develop?
This will be based before HTTYD2, I believe, so Stoick would be there.
ReplyDeleteThe 2nd movie failed financially, so they had to put it on Netflix, which sucks as my tablet's Netflix is broken, lags really badly. Hopefully it may appear on the internet somewhere if the hunk of metal keeps screwing up.
ReplyDeleteThey missed such a great opportunity at the end of episode 6 in DoB, he placed a hand on her shoulder, then it cut to Snotlout, I was just like "WHERE'S THE KISS!?"
ReplyDeleteWhy did you say that it would be released in Spring, but then turned around and gave us the "Surprise motherf*cker" when you said it was being released in June? (Not annoyed, just curious.)
ReplyDelete(Are you aloud to ask 2 questions? I will just in case...)
ReplyDeleteIs there a specific date for the next trailer or a sneak peak? If not could you specify a time of month (like late April, early May? )
Also does it come out on the UK Netflix in June as well?
Thanks for answering people's questions! It's really awesome of you guys :)
1.Are Hiccup and Astrid going to get engaged?
ReplyDelete2.Will Heather be back?
3.What happened to Dagur at the end of season 2?
Unfortunately we may not see them because in the second movie Valka said Toothless may be the last of his kind. Hiccup also told Toothless that on the new island they found they may see more Night Furies. I would love to see more Night Furies. I think everyone is waiting to see more Night Furies.
ReplyDeleteLol ikr! I mean COME ON!
ReplyDeleteYes, you can submit as many questions as you want! Unfortunately, I can't pick every question, but a variety of different questions will definitely make for a more interesting interview!
ReplyDeleteI know that, I meant because if Astrid and Hiccup were comfortable kissing each other rather then Astrid kissing Hiccup, that had to of started somewhere. I'd like to see when Hiccup first ever kissed Astrid himself for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI've talked with him, and he's still working on it (his answers are going to be insanely detailed). You have to be signed in to prevent spam voting. Yeah, I don't like it either, but the unfortunate reality is that there are spammers here. For example, if you noticed that a ton of comments disappeared a few days ago, that's because some spammer reported about 170 comments from the most recent two posts and I had to go through all of them and un-report them.
ReplyDelete1. Will we see how the Village develops between films 1 and 2? (ie the new buidlings/expansions)
ReplyDelete2. In httyd 2 Stoic calls Astrid his 'daughter in-law' will this be touched upon in season 3?
3. Do Hiccup and the crew go exploring new lands or is mostly centered on Berk?
4. Do we get to see how Hiccup's flight suit and sword came to be?
Thanks :)
Answer to 3: Dagur was locked up by Alvin at the end of the last season.
ReplyDeleteThe first 13 episodes will be released all at once on the same day.
ReplyDeleteThe rest will be released every 6 months or around that range.
Has the animation for the show been updated at all since the last two seasons? Is Premo being used in this show, or only for feature films?
ReplyDeleteplease have valka in it
ReplyDeleteHas having the second film to refer to been more freeing or constraining in the creative process of making this series? How hard has it been to find this season's place in the larger picture of HTTYD?
ReplyDeleteWill we see how Hiccup's desire to map the world came about in this season?
Will any characters from race to the edge be in HTTYD 3 besides Hiccup, Astrid, the Twins, Fishlegs, and Snotlout? It would be really nice to viewers of the tv show if there was like a shot of Bucket and Mulch or Mildew in the actual film.
ReplyDeleteWill there be a story about how Gobber and Stoick got their Dragons?
Will Hiccup's relationship with Astrid grow closer?
Will any of the dragons introduced in HTTYD 2 be talked about in the series such as the Hotburple or the Rumblehorn?
Will they talk about the Red Death from the first movie in the show?
will there be more Night Furies? If so, can you make a character named Suzette who owns a white Night Fury with blue eyes? :D
ReplyDelete1. Will any characters (besides Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, the Twins, and Snotlout) from the previous seasons (Stoick, Gobber, Gustav, etc.) appear in the third season?
ReplyDelete2. I've heard rumors that Dagur will be reappearing. Is that true?
3. Will there be an episode explaining how Snotlout and Fishlegs started crushing on Ruffnut?
4. Will Skullcrusher (Stoick's dragon) and Grump (Gobber's dragon) appear in the third season?
5. Will any dragons (besides Toothless, Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, BarfBelch) from the previous seasons appear?
6. Will there be any episodes focusing on the perspectives of the dragons?
7. Will there be any Hiccstrid?
Good one, I also wish for the return of the Skrill :D
ReplyDeleteMy questions revolve mostly around the story elements:
ReplyDelete1. Since the new season takes place one year before the events of How to Train your Dragon 2, will there be some kind of foreshadowing the events of the second movie?
2. How many villains we will have in this season? And will we have another dragon antagonist?
3. Given that the gang will attempt to unlock the secrets of Dragon Eye, does that mean most of the episodes will take place beyond Berk?
4. Will Heather return? And how far Dagur will survive this season?
5. Will the new dragons from Rise of Berk game make appearance?
Here are my questions. I'm mostly curious about the second question and last question :)
Okay, I have a few questions.
ReplyDelete1) Is playful, friendly teasing of Hiccup and Astrid's relationship by others something we can expect in the upcoming thirteen episodes?
2) Because the episodes are going to be on Netflix, will they be longer than the previous forty episodes which were about twenty minutes each? If so, how long?
Do Astrid and Hiccup get closer? If so how? ;D
ReplyDeleteWhat about the other dragon riders? Do they develop any 'love life'?
Yeah probably:)
ReplyDeletewill it be on netflix in Canada?
ReplyDeleteWill there be another Nightfury in Race To The Edge?
ReplyDelete1. Will be seasons 3 and 4 sequels to first two seasons, or will they just ignore them?
ReplyDelete2. Will we see MUCH more from Hiccup and Astrid's relationship?
-It has been said this season is supposed to be the gangs "college years", and in the teaser they are clearly not on Berk (at least any part we've seen). Does the gang actually move out?
ReplyDelete- In HTTYD2, Astrid mentions that Ruffnut tried to bury Snotlout alive. Will we get to see this happen? (Sorry, I had to).
-Will Hiccup/ Astrid officially become a couple this season?
Will Hiccup work on making his new prosthetic leg in the season? He still has his old one so if he's gonna work on his flight suit too will the new and improved peg-leg go along with it?
ReplyDeleteHello Doug Sloan and Art Brown! You guys are so cool, and I love the work you and Dreamworks do for our benefit. Thank you so much. I have some questions about the series:
ReplyDelete1. Since the new series will be focusing on the newer, unseen dragons, how much of the older ones (Whispering Death, Typhoomerang, Changewing, etc.) will we be seeing? I understand that they would have the occasional cameo, but how much screen time will they have?
2. Will there be more human qualities in the dragons that didn't get as much? Such as Barf, Belch, Stormfly, and the other wild dragons?
3. Also, it seems like the twins, Barf, and Belch didn't get much screen time apart from comedy relief and episodes that were focused on them. Could we be seeing more of them? I heard there was going to be something about Tuffnut and a chicken. And please give Astrid more "main character" credit and screen time. We all feel that we don't see enough of her in the series.
4. Thank you for showing us how Hiccup's flight suit is developing, along with a lot of character development, but what about Toothless? I'm curious about his saddle development. How much of that will you show?
5. If you don't use the Apollo software for animating the series, what software do you use? How much time does it take, on average, to just animate an episode, final rendering included? No story boarding or voice recording sessions, just the animation.
6. The villans-Will you age up Dagur very much or will he stay the same, because you already have him in the system? Will we ever see Alvin or Mildew again? How many ties do the new villans have with Drago, and how much foreshadowing will there be reguarding him?
7. Which characters will be returning from the two previous seasons? Heather, Mulch, Bucket or Johan? And will we ever see the characters that were mentioned such as Dagur's father or his sister?
Hope these are all good, relevant questions that you can answer. You guys are AWSOME! Thank you so much for making a series that we all enjoy. Keep up the hard work.
Alright. Thank you for answering. :) The spammers sure can be extremely annoying... I hope that they won't appear here anymore. Berk's Grapevine is a great site after all - spammers are not welcome here. >:3
ReplyDeleteI have a few questions regarding the upcoming series:
ReplyDelete1) Will the Season 3 episodes follow an order and have a distinct time lapse from the first one to the last, to show the passage of time and how each episode (roughly) leads to the next one? With the first two seasons, we didn't see much of any reference to the passage of time other than a single-line reference early on in Season 2 to "Gem of a Different Color" and the reappearance of Torch as a grown up in "Zippleback Down", but it wasn't clear roughly how much time had gone by; will the passage of time be more obvious in Season 3?
2) Will there be any explanation about any of the new dragons that we saw in HTTYD 2 but who didn't have much, if any, information about them revealed in the movie (scuttleclaw, raincutter, snafflefang, hobblegrunt, etc.)?
3) For those of us who will not have access to Netflix, will the episodes be airing on TV as well? If so, when should we expect to see them start?
4) Will we see any more of the island that Meatlug flew Hiccup to in "Gift of the Night Fury"? I'd like to learn more about it and why the dragons migrate there to lay their eggs.
Thank you so much for providing us this opportunity.
If Hiccup couldn't find any in the second movie, I kind of doubt it.
ReplyDeleteWhat kinds of dragons can we expect to see in Race to The Edge?
ReplyDelete1. Will you injure Hiccup? Please? I want Hiccstrid fluff with Astrid treating his wounds.
ReplyDelete2. Can you explain how the Dragon's Eye works?
1. If there will be a fourth season, will it take place after the events of How To Train Your Dragon 2?
ReplyDelete2.When the season ends, how many days or months are there left before HTTYD 2 takes place?
3. What island was Hiccup and the gang were on in the teaser?
4. At any chance, will there be any Drago or Valka references?
5. What is with the Dragon Eye? Why does Dagur want it?
Where'd you get the idea for question 1? It's hilariously clever
ReplyDeleteHow can she not?
ReplyDelete1: Will there be any more Hiccstrid moments xD
ReplyDelete2: Will Toothless and Hiccup discover where the Dragon Eye came from?
3: Will Stoick and Gobber have their own episodes?
4: Does Heather come back as an Allie?
5: Will we see any of Toothless past?
I really think there are too many questions being asked here that are better suited for a director or writer of the show.
ReplyDeleteHere are some for the producers:
How is producing a show for Netflix different than producing for a cable TV station like Cartoon Network and what advantages and challenges come with choosing Netflix for the distributor?
Is there anything particularly unique about producing a show for the HTTYD franchise as opposed to any of the other animated franchises?
How have the recent troubles with DreamWorks' revenue stream affected the decisions in the production of this show?
Is Chris Sqnders duo the producers of this?
ReplyDeleteIf so, do you cringe when you hear the name John Lasseter?
Will Toothless have a different saddle but will be somewhat the same as the older one?
ReplyDeleteHow did Hiccup and Toothless discover the dragon eye?
Are the character's rigged from scratch for the series or do the models come from the movie's original file drive? If they are transferred to the new software, how much financing goes into bringing them to a new file drive?
ReplyDeleteIn HTTYD2, Berk was changed a lot to better suit the dragons. Is this going to be touched upon in the Race to the Edge?
ReplyDelete1-Will the show be made out of Premo? Like would the graphics be at least as good as HTTYD2?
ReplyDelete2-Would Cate Blanchett return for this? If not would she return eventually? Loved her voice acting as Valka.
-Why did you choose Alfred Molina as the villain and were there other choices?
ReplyDelete-Also will we be expecting other villains if so who are the new voice actor
-Will we be expecting any returning characters like Dagur, Alvin or Heather
I have one small question? Will Valka be in it? Or any of the new characters from How to train your dragon 2? (Eret, Valka, etc.)
ReplyDeleteThats a good one :D
ReplyDeleteFanfic
ReplyDeleteWhere is Hiccup and Astrid's relationship at this point?
ReplyDeleteWhy are they not on berk in the teaser trailer?
Will heather return to season 3?
Will we also see them discovering the new dragons from httyd 2?
In the second movie hiccup is described as very persuasive. Will we get to see any of that?
The animation in the teaser already looks awesome. What did you do differently from the first two seasons?
Will we get any really cool battle/fighting scenes?
Does the new tribe just worship dragons, or can they also ride them?
Will their dragons develop/discover any cool new abilities like in the first two seasons?
Are they still actually training the dragons?
Will we get to see how the ruffnut triangle started?
How many episodes will we be getting? I've heard a lot of different things
Why did you chose to release a bunch of episodes on the same date?
How did you come up with the idea for the dragon eye?
Sorry there's so many questions but I'm just so excited! 😄😄😄
Will we see how Hiccup and Astrid's relationship evolved to be what it is in the second film?
ReplyDeleteGood questions
ReplyDeleteYou my friend, are smart
ReplyDeleteSince Hiccup and the gang are at that new island, will we be seeing the old academy in the new season? Like is there going to be a new group of dragon riders in there? (gustav and his friends?)
ReplyDeleteThere will be any new dragons from Hiccup's map?
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1 to 10 how much would you say hiccup and Astrid's relationship had evolved since riders and defenders of Berk?
ReplyDeleteAlso, do snotlout and fishlegs start competing for Ruffnuts affection in the series or will that happen later on?
How much of Dagur will we get in the new series?? Please tell me he's still not over the fact that Hiccup hasn't kissed his boot yet lol.
ReplyDeleteFor your first question, I don't think so. Remember, Douglas Sloan and Art Brown have been working on this for a few years, and Dean Debois is just now finishing up the screanplay for the third movie.
ReplyDeleteFor the second, third, and fourth, I would say a definite yes according to Netflix's press releases.
For the sixth, I would say there might be one for How to train your Dragon 3, just like there was for the second.
And for your last one, maybe. According to news releases, the TV Series will go over the Dragon Trappers, and with that, the name, "Drago," might be thrown around by the Trappers in brief conversations they have with Hiccup and the rest of the dragon trappers.
(Obviously, this information might not be accurate, as it's merely based on what is already known about the series thus far)
For your first one, I believe so. If you are a fan of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Netflix had season 6 exclusively, which may be the case for DreamWorks Dragons, Netflix having season 3 and 4 exclusively.
ReplyDeleteFor the second one, I would say perhaps. While the DVD form is highly unlikely, we may see it in digital stores, such as Vudu and Itunes.
For the last one, indeed. However, this may not be brand new from the second film, but if you are like me and you watch the HTTYD franchise in the time sequence, it will be as if it's brand new.
I might be able to answer the third one.
ReplyDeleteYou will be able to watch the TV Series on TV, but only if:
1) You are in Australia, and
2) You have cable.
It has been said that Dreamworks is getting it's own television station, which airs any/all of it's TV Series branching off of the movies, and a few other custom content, like from AwesomenessTV.
For the second one, I believe the time change will not come in affect. The original TV Series was 22 minutes long, and since All Hail King Julien did not deviate from the 22 minute long episodes, you can expect that Race to the Edge will maintain the same lengthiness of the episodes as Riders/Defenders of Berk
ReplyDeletePossibly, though according to a news release, Dagur is (possible spoiler alert) looking for revenge on Hiccup.
ReplyDeleteThat might be yes. According to a video on their channel that focuses on the behind the scenes of All Hail King Julien, the animation software they used has a black outline, same as the Apollo, which was used in HTTYD 2.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I figured, but longer episodes would be nice! ^^
ReplyDeleteIs Alvin coming back?
ReplyDeleteThere was one shot of a cloaked girl on a dragon in the footage at WonderCon--I'm guessing that's Heather
ReplyDeleteOne last thing...
ReplyDeleteAre you planning to release the footage played in WonderCon to the public as maybe a sneak peek or something?
What new inventions can we expect from the new season and will there be some challenges for hiccup and the gang xxx
ReplyDeleteSince the dragon riders are at that new island, are we going to see the old dragon academy? Like are Gustav and his friends going to be in there now? Possibly new characters?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have a questions:
ReplyDelete1. Is Dagur the Deranged gonna appear in this new season Race to the edge?
2. What's happend with that "evil" Whispering Dead He's gonna appear in this season, too?
Will there be more moments of Spitelout?
ReplyDeleteMe to
ReplyDeleteIkr
ReplyDeleteOMG I definitely want to see her burry him alive. That would be hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWill we see Camicazi from the books?
ReplyDeleteIcelandicEel, I was wondering when do you plan on having the interview ready for us? If you can't answer this, that's fine I was just wondering =)
ReplyDeleteThere is going to be a fourth season, but we don't know when it's taking place http://howtotrainyourdragon.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_DreamWorks_Dragons_episodes
ReplyDeleteThe idea of an episode that features only dragons i feel great
ReplyDelete1.Are Hiccup and Astrid getting engaged? (In the second movie their engaged)
ReplyDelete2.Will Stiock tell Hiccup about chief stuff which includes marriage (maybe thats why Hiccup and Astrid are engaged but are very much happy with it)
3.Will we see Ruffnut trying to bury Snoutlout alive (In httyd 2 Astrid says to Snoutlout didn't she try to bury you alive?!)
4.Will we see more HiccStrid like kissing,hugging,cuddling,etc?
thanks!
ReplyDeleteWill there be anything about icestorm island?
ReplyDeleteDean was incredibly busy with the second movie, so he left Race to the Edge to us for the most part. Of course, we did have regular check in dinners with Dean, just to make sure we were no doing anything that was counter to the franchise as a whole.
ReplyDeleteThe Dragon Eye is incredibly important to our Edge seasons, and that's pretty much all I can tell you. We are really excited about it.
So far we have no plans for using Cressidas other characters. But we HAVE created some new ones of our own that are pretty cool and have amazing actors portraying them -- Alfred Molina, Adaleide Kane...
I can't really say whether or not the Skrill will return. What I can say is that we LOVE that dragon and he is lurking somewhere, waiting for revenge.
ReplyDeleteThe Dragon Eye is what the entire series is centered around. It will provide the riders with all sorts of clues that will take them on amazing new adventures beyond where they have ever gone before.
Yes, the Island on the teaser is going to be a HUGE part of the series.
I'm not sure what Dean has planned for the third movie. It is in the early creative stages so I can't really say what he will or will not include from the TV series. It would be great to see some of our characters in there though, right? Dean is pretty much a genius, so I'm sure whatever he comes up with will be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to answer your questions, Esa by saying that the new series is a prequel to the second movie. And, as such, we will try to explain as much as we can how Berk came to be what you see in D2. That includes characters, weapons, dragons, etc.
In terms of characters coming back from our show, the way to look at that is this: When we build a character for a CG show, it takes time and money to do so. We like to get as much use out of them as we can. It makes no sense to use a character once or twice then not use it again. ;)
Thanks for the questions, Randy. As I said above, the series is a bridge between the last two seasons and the second movie. We expect to deliver the audience to the start of D2 with our Netflix show and explain as much as we can over those episodes. That way, when you watch the second movie again, you'll see how things came to be.
ReplyDeletewhen will come out this new season in english subtitle french or just in english?
ReplyDeleteWill the new episodes be available on DVD?
ReplyDeleteI love your videos!
ReplyDeleteReally? They're engaged? Or it just seems like they are
ReplyDeleteWill race to the edge ever come on DVD or TV
ReplyDeleteI;m sure it will; I really hope it does ;)
ReplyDeleteMy guess is perhaps. They might throw in the subtle hint of Hiccup's mother's existence, like they did in one episode where Hiccup had to retrieve a chest that was holding a stitch Deadly Nadder that his mother have given him. :) As far as Drago, yes. While we may not have the villain, there may be stepping stones up to him. I have no idea how far they will go, but I think they might make Dragon Trappers a little more known.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the round table videos, yes! In fact, she will have her own dragon, and there will be an episode involving her some other villain we all know and hate to love (Not going to say who due to being spoilers, as the Dragon one is a big spoiler...
ReplyDeleteAccording to one of the round table videos, Alfred Molina is Vego/Vigo, a villain in the series.
ReplyDeleteAnswer to second: Heather will be back, along with her getting a Dragon of her own, and she might become a part of the Dragon Riders. For your first question, most likely not.
ReplyDeleteHow long are the episodes for example 30 minutes long.
ReplyDeleteI think the episodes are like, 22 minutes long
ReplyDeleteWill we see any love scenes of Hiccup and Astrid more often?
ReplyDeleteNo, it takes place before the second movie, but they will possibly be included in the fourth season
ReplyDeletewill we see Fanghook bigger size
ReplyDeletelike more older version he was small size comapre to Hookfang
ReplyDeleteWhat if you are dying to watch it but don't have Netflix, will you stream episodes on Dragons.com
ReplyDeleteIs the dragon eye the base of Hiccup's Inferno?
ReplyDeleteHow did Dagur have the Dragon Eye?
Will this series explain how Hiccup and Astrid got together?
Will we find out how Stoick and Gobber got their dragons?
And will we see how they changed their appearances, what if we want to watch it but don't have Netfix and live in the UK?
Will there be dragons from rise of berk in race to the edge?
ReplyDeleteHe calls her is 'future daughter-in-law'.
ReplyDeleteWill there bemore then 13 episodes
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if anyone can answer this question for me How many episodes will there be in Race to the Edge
ReplyDeletemy son wants to know if its going to be on dvd because we don't have netflex
ReplyDeleteWill it be on DVD? I can't get Netflix where I live so I would really like to know.
ReplyDeleteI don't know most of them, but the last one I can help with. A full trailer and lots of clips can be found on youtube, if you just look them up :)
ReplyDeleteWill there be a Dragons Race To The Edge season 2 if there is I can't wait
ReplyDeleteWill there be a season 2 ?
ReplyDeleteHow many episodes will Season 3 have in total?
ReplyDeleteThey said that 52 episodes shall release over the span of 2 years... which means that 13 episodes will be released every 6 months. The next 13 will come in December.
ReplyDeleteIf u mean in these 13 episodes which is already released the answer is no... In episode 11 Heather asks Astrid whether they r together but Astrid says that they are just friends. I felt sad when I heard that.... I was counting on Hiccstrid moments.
ReplyDeleteWill there be a season 4?
ReplyDeleteIf so will it be before or after How to Train Your Dragon 2?
Will this series ever be released on DVD? I have all the movies and the other two series I would really like to add this to my collection. I do not have Netflix so I can't watch it and it makes me sad. Please tell me they will be released on dvd. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI am really confused. I did research to catch-up with every trailer, shorts, specials, series and movies you guys made about HTTYD. This is what I've watched so far (twice) : "Dragon Training: Lesson", "Racing for the Gold", "How to Train Your Dragon", "Gift of the Night Fury", "Book of Dragons", "Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon", "Riders of Berk", "Defenders of Berk", "Dawn of the Dragon Racers", "Race to the Edge", "How To Train Your Dragon 2". (If there is more, please do tell me).
ReplyDeleteThe thing I don't get, is why Dagur calls Hiccup his brother, then in another episode calls him his Uncle? I didn't hear a dialogue where they were related, and it confuses me more because the there seems to be a lot of people who ship Hiccup and Heather - which I think is a little weird because it sounds like they are relatives...
Is Dagur, Hiccup and Heather all related to each other, or is it just something Dagur says?
Will Dragons: Race to the Edge be available on dvd?
ReplyDeleteWill their be a another season for race to the edge
ReplyDelete
