You can claim that you watch the How To Train Your Dragon movies for the adventures of Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and his fellow vikings. But we know you're really in it for Toothless. And the Night Fury is once again the star of How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, which has its first trailer online.

The movie finds Hiccup as chief of the village on the island of Berk, now a peaceful utopia where vikings and dragons live side by side. But when his faithful dragon pal's attention is drawn away by the enchanting new friend (a Light Fury, meaning he's not the last of his breed) and a luminescent, hitherto undiscovered land of the creatures, both of them will be tested.

And there's a new threat on the horizon – one that will force the entire village to find a way to survive.

With Cate Blanchett, Kristen Wiig, Kit Harington, Jonah Hill, America Ferrara and more back on vocal duties and Dean DeBlois directing as usual, How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World will be in cinemas on 1 February next year.
