This collection includes both the original animated version of How to Train Your Dragon and the live-action remake. Unlike the 4K Blu-ray edition of the remake, you won’t get 1080p Blu-ray discs with this one, but it still includes digital copies of both films.
Amazon has the 2-Movie Collection for $40, so you’re essentially paying an extra 10 bucks to get the animated original on 4K. The price difference shrinks with the standard Blu-ray combo pack ($30) and DVD ($23).
Beyond the live-action remake of the first film, the How to Train Your Dragon series has three mainline animated films and a lengthy TV series that started on Cartoon Network before moving to Netflix after Season 2 as Dragons: Race to the Edge. The series concluded with 118 episodes across eight seasons.
All three films are available on 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray, while physical editions of the TV series have largely been confined to DVD.
