DreamWorks Animation has released a new featurette for How to Train Your Dragon 2, which ties perfectly into the clip released yesterday, where Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) meets his mother Valka (voiced by Cate Blanchett) for the first time. Director Dean DeBlois reveals that he wanted to introduce this character, who hasn't seen her son in nearly 20 years, living among the dragons in a secretive sanctuary. We also hear from Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera and Gerard Butler, while learning more about how this reunited family takes on the villainous Drago Bludvist (voiced by Djimon Hounsou) in the animated sequel, arriving in theaters June 13.
