Everyone talks about how bad the animation is... lets talk about the story.
It's called Project Icarus. Well that's original.
Mom says, "Poisonous gas, razor sharp rocks, rivers of lava..." So she takes her son there?!
In fact, all the adults at this facility have a child on board, each of distinct ethnic backgrounds. The big tough black guy is security, the tiny asian lady is the boss, so naturally they have a loud-mouth Black kid, a cool girl love interest, the nerdy girl, etc. Etc. (Face palm)
This is remedial writing at its worst. Nothing new or different. What made the original HTTYD movies and series so special is hard to sum up in one review, but this follow up series definitely didn't hit the mark. They're trying to hit all the diversity checkboxes but struggled to make it make sense.
My kids and I sat through all the films and the series together but I'm not even going to tell them this came out. Can't risk them damaging brain cells.
