It is the jewel in the crown of DreamWorks

Netflix to its subscribers with constant news every week, but it also maintains an output flow of content that it does not exactly announce, with great fanfare. And today, unfortunately, we have to report the second, because one of the most beloved animation sagas is flying off the shelf: the trilogy of How to surrender your dragon will disappear in a few hours of the streaming service.

Despite having generated successful franchises such as Shrek either Kung Fu PandaDreamWorks experienced a somewhat complex period of creativity at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The new stories of the famous green ogre failed to catch on with the audience and bets like Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) and Megamind (2010) did not finish shining enough to generate its own legion of fans. It was then that Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders–two former Disney veterans–led the film adaptation of the book of the same name by Cressida Cowell. The result was a phenomenon that little by little generated an ever-increasing box office. From the original film released in 2010 with 495 million dollars to a sequel that managed to raise 621 million. How to train your dragon 3 maintained the level and closed a round dramatic trilogy full of emotion that earned 521 million dollars. Along the way, the IP was nominated for four Oscars and, although it never won the coveted golden statuetteover the years she has generated a whole legion of fans who remember her fondly.
