The third upcoming title of the successful DreamWorks Animation franchise, How to Train Your Dragon, which will open next year, finally has a title.

The animated feature movie will be titled How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, with an exclusive sneak peek that will be shown at the next Annecy festival (June).

Dean DeBlois, director and author of the first two chapters, will be back as director and author of this movie. Brad Lewis and Bonnie Arnold will produce is and Universal Pictures will release the movie in North America on March, 1 2019.

The first How to Train Your Dragon has releases in 2010 and went on to gross 500 million dollar worldwide (165 budget). How to Train Your Dragon 2 has released in 2014 and went on to gross 620 million dollar worldwide (145 budget).

But at the 2019 edition of the Annecy Festival the DreamWorks Animation studios announced a massive presence with their products.

In addition to the first mentioned DeBlois movie, considered a "longtime friend of the festival" by its artistic director Marcel Jean, will be screened the first two animated short movies of the new shorts studios program.

Bird Karma is directed by William Salazar and produced by Jeff Hermann. The beautifully artistic 2D short film tells a delightfully lyrical and fully unexpected tale of a long-legged bird's journey of blissful joy, inescapable greed and the accidental discovery of the consequences when too much is not enough.
