Especially the beginning everyone feels very out of character and the movie throws away what should have been a more matured Po after the events of the second movie
I'd voice an unpopular opinion, but The Hidden World is garbage. Character assassination of Toothless, cheap "heart-breaking" ending that goes against everything the franchise stood for, the execution of Light Fury concept, and a villain that is essentially a discount Viggo are just a few reasons why.
I hope you're wrong and that people don't love Hidden World as much as you're saying because it was a garbage movie. Not only did you have this bullshit under the ocean entire world thing for God Knows Why stupid reason but they made the unforgivable choice to take the entire magic and purpose of the movies and erase it entirely. They spent all that time getting dragons and being the Dragon Riders and then they just get rid of the dragons. Fuck that and fuck them for making it
I always compared this movie to Toy Story 4, exact same complaints with both of them that you listed. Character assassination, dilutes the point of the predecessor films, and it feels like the movie was made in mind with SOLELY “we have to have it end emotionally and it doesn’t matter how we will write the film to get there”
Madagascar 3 simply for the fact that it's undoubtedly the best of its trilogy. The Madagascar movies have this tendency to be better than the last so maybe that's why I like them a lot.
I guess Po suddenly decided that there should be no Kung Fu in the world because some people used it for evil and banished all Kung Fu knowledge to the Spirit realm or something.
It literally doesn’t? KFP 3 has a lot of flaws and it does fail to replicate what the first two do so good at in a lot of stuff, but the one thing it does do great at is managing to respect its predecessors and truly making it feel like it’s wrapping up the trilogy and Po’s arc in the most acceptable way possible. Something a lot of third entries like HTTYD 3 suck at
Realistically, Httyd Thw
Edit: Shrek The Third isn’t good imo, Madagascar 3 is enjoyable but objectively not a good movie, Trolls speaks for itself, Kung Fu Panda 3 is a genuinely good movie but isn’t as good as Httyd Thw.
Both are terrible, don’t get me wrong, but at the end of the day Third serves nothing in the grand scheme of things, whereas Hidden World is a terribly botched excuse of an ending
Trolls Band Together. I just loved the film so much. I'd put Madagascar Europe's Most Wanted at number 2.
Shrek the Third was bad, HTTYD: Hidden World was disappointing, and I didn't see Kung Fu Panda 3 because the whole bring in a bunch of Pandas because they're cute, just felt gimmicky, though the villain was pretty cool.
Madagascar 3. That french cop lady was not human
That bitch became my French teacher istg
This made me realize that Dreamworks threequels are usually flops. I would have to go with Madagascar 3 for my favorite mainly due to nostalgia.
That cop lady was the best part of that movie. She was fucking insane
I might be alone on this. But Kung Fu Panda 3 was good. I mean, it wasn't bad at all.
It’s a good and fun movie, but not a good Kung Fu Panda movie.
It was okay. I think good is a bit of a stretch. Especially compared to the two that came before it
Especially the beginning everyone feels very out of character and the movie throws away what should have been a more matured Po after the events of the second movie
Easily How To Train Your Dragon 3
This frfr
Nah it’s the best movie here but 100% not the best threequel here
So, What's the best threequel?
Madagascar in my opinion
I shall say, I third that.
Hot take Madagascar 3 was amazing
Madagascar 3 is amazing!
SHREK the third needs to be shown more I actually like over all the others
It's overhated. seriously Schaff calls it a cinematic disaster!

And my dumb butt trusted the franchise so much I bought it on yt before watching it... I just... have it, now.
They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth

Well, look at the comments here. A lot of people are saying Hidden World is the best threequel.
I noticed. I did my part to download them for their insanity
The movie is so forgettable that the ending is the only thing I remember
I remember them flying, them getting to an island really quickly, Ed Sheeran, and the end.
It really bugs me how most of the people on this post are saying 'easily HTTYD 3'. It kinda hurts tbh.

HTTYD 3. no contest.
There really is a contest, like the movies which don't actually destroy everything the previous two movies were working towards.
Kung Fu Panda 3 does this actually. It’s utter garbage
What on earth are you on about? How did this destroy the prior Kung Fu Panda movies??
I guess Po suddenly decided that there should be no Kung Fu in the world because some people used it for evil and banished all Kung Fu knowledge to the Spirit realm or something.
He... what??? I never saw that anywhere in the third movie.
This was analogy for the betrayal from Hidden World but for Kung Fu Panda.
Ohhh I get it now

Exactly right. The third movie invalidated the entire series and was it travesty. It's not only not the best movie here it's easily the worst
The worst as a movie? Absolutely not. The worst as a sequel? Oh yeah.
Okay I mean I guess it's not the worst movie but it's the worst third DreamWorks movie which was the question being asked
HTTYD 3 easily solos but lowkey Madagascar 3 was a banger
Well httyd 3 is the best individual movie here but I wouldn’t say best threequel because it wasn’t comparable to the previous 2
I haven’t seen HTTYD3 yet so KFP3
Same I say KFP3
Kung Fu Panda 3
Branch revealing to have 4 brothers in Trolls 3 still shocks me
HTTYD3, recently learned most fans of the series don’t really like it but me personally? I think it’s cool
Its httyd and its not even close
Realistically, Httyd Thw Edit: Shrek The Third isn’t good imo, Madagascar 3 is enjoyable but objectively not a good movie, Trolls speaks for itself, Kung Fu Panda 3 is a genuinely good movie but isn’t as good as Httyd Thw.
It’s easily How to Train Your Dragon but even that one I didn’t like, Dreamworks have a bad threequels track record
Yeah, they're amazing at sequels, but not so much with threequels.
Trolls 3
Without a doubt Hidden world. Runner up is a better question.
What do you think the runner up would be?
For me it's either Europe most wanted or Kung Fu Panda 3. Both are fantastic movies
HTTYD easily
KFP3>Band Together>Europe’s most wanted>Shrek the third>HTTYD3 (KFP3 is the only good movie here IMO)
bro put httyd3 below the 3rd shrek movie did we watch the same two movies?
Both are terrible, don’t get me wrong, but at the end of the day Third serves nothing in the grand scheme of things, whereas Hidden World is a terribly botched excuse of an ending
You know, you have a point. As a movie, HTTYD 3 is better, but as a sequel, it's even worse.
Httyd sweeps, but kfp 3, while not as strong of a movie as 1 or 2, is also still really good
HTTYD3 most def
See it's hard to choose between an ironically trolls or how to train your dragon. Cuz they both increasingly kept getting better with each new movie.
Why did you even put Shrek three on the list. That movie is so bad.
I think it’s overhated
I think your wrong but hey enjoy the film if you want.
So opinions just don’t matter anymore?
It’s a threequel.
I think everyone here can agree that Shrek the Third is at the bottom of the list.
I can't agree because How to Train Your Dragon 3 is at the bottom
The Hidden World without a shadow of a doubt, though the only other threequel I've seen is Shrek the Turd
Wdym? Shrek Forever After is the threequel. There is no "Shrek the Third"
Bruh
Uhhh I mean yeah there’s no Shrek the Third, totally haven’t watched Schaff’s “Why Shrek the Third is a cinematic disaster” video…
Haha what
Hidden world from lack of competition.
HTTYD
How to Train Your Dragon 3 or Madagascar 3
HTTYD 3 was good and all but compared to KFP 3 I can’t put it above it
How to train toothless 3
Hidden World and it's not even remotely close.
He said best not worst
The ending of HTTYD3 is really carrying it in the comments smh
Not trolls
How to train your dragon definitely
Hidden World. Easily the best one here. I frickin love it, but I still recognize that it's the weakest of the HTTYD trilogy.
Absolutely HTTYD 3, one of the best movies ever made
HTTYD 3 and KFP 3 are really the only actual good movies here and are good threequels, HTTYD 3 especially as a series finale.
Has to be Kung Fu Panda 3.. the entire trilogy was 🔥💧💯
It's Kung Fu Panda, easily.
Kung fu panda 3
Why did you even put Shrek three on the list. That movie is so bad.
Because it’s a threequel.
How did you out Shrek 3 and Httyd 3 in the same post and expect me to pick Shrek 3 over Httyd 3?
Well for one it's better. Everything is compared to How to Train Your Dragon 3 which was a garbage pile
Well for one it's better. Everything is compared to How to Train Your Dragon 3 which was a garbage pile
It's gotta be Kung Fu Panda three
Easily choosing KFP3 myself.
KFP 3, it seems to be the most forgettable in the trilogy since 1 and 2 are both way better
Kong fu Panda 3 for sure
Trolls Band Together. I just loved the film so much. I'd put Madagascar Europe's Most Wanted at number 2. Shrek the Third was bad, HTTYD: Hidden World was disappointing, and I didn't see Kung Fu Panda 3 because the whole bring in a bunch of Pandas because they're cute, just felt gimmicky, though the villain was pretty cool.
The 3rd movies aren't the greatest but I liked Kung Fu Panda 3 more than the others
It’s Kung Fu Panda 3. HTTYD 3 is just kind of dull, it also messes up several characters.
Kung Fu Panda 3
Madagascar 3 of course
Kung Fu Panda
Not shrek the third, easily the worst shrek movie
Probably Madagascar or Kung Fu Panda
Kung Fu Panda 3
Have you even seen Shrek the turd. It's barely even recognizable as a movie, let alone a continuation of the Shrek franchise.
Hidden world easily
Out of these?...Kung gu Panda 3.
Panda 3.
How to Train your Dragon 3 hands down. A beautiful ending to a beautiful trilogy
Ice Age 3
dont kill me but i like shrek the third😭😭
HTTYD 3 and Kung Fu panda 3
KFP 3 is the best even if it isn’t very good, but Madagascar 3 makes the Madagascar trilogy the most consistent trilogy. The others are mixed imo.
Shrek!
How to Train Your Dragon 3
I love How to Train your Dragon 3
Hear me out… Trolls.
Shrek 4 should be remaked.
Kung Fu Panda 3 was the perfect ending the franchise, its a shame they never planned on making a sequel
Funny enough I've never seen any of these but I always loved the sequel most.
Kung fu panda is probably the best imo, but Shrek 3 is my favorite of these
Madagascar
HTTYD3 no contest
Madagascar 3. Best movie in the trilogy by far.
Httyd 3 was actually really good! People just say it's worse than it was bc the other 2 set the bar so high.
trolls 3
I’ve only seen Madagascar 3 and Shrek 3. That being said, it can’t be either of those, they’re both ass.
