Never thought I would write a negative review to one of my beloved franchises but that what it is unfortunately.
Fireplace's beautiful but watching it for 28 min is absolute nonsense. The action lasts for 5-10 seconds every minute, and basically the whole movie can be reduced to 3-4 minutes. Thus judging by the background sound the real action that could be funny and really interesting to watch happens behind the scene.
I expected so much more. I thought it to be the same short film as other ones with all the funny dialogues and situations or at least the main characters sitting beside the fireplace and telling different stories and having dragons playing around with kids. But definitely not this.

How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming
(2019 TV Movie)
Great but...
7 December 2019
"How did it happen?" - Hiccup
Basically that's what you get when people forget about things that were common for you.
On the one hand the Special was great, hilarious in places and homecoming))) but I dunno, I have kinda strange mixed up feelings about it. Seeing Hiccup and Toothless not together is just... it doesn't feel right. Tamed once - tamed forever. And letting dragons go is like throwing your favourite pet cat or dog into the wild. Not only Toothless but also all other dragons that lived on Berk wouldn't be scared of humans and if they meet someone who has never seen dragons....
The story was mainly concentrated on Zephyr and yet again as in Hiccup's case, she changed her mind when she actually saw Toothless and understood that he wasn't a thread. Well, maybe not exactly the same case, but the idea is the same: seeing and understanding that the thing is not quite what you think of it to be.
So I don't think that without dragons Berkians would be able to preserve that love and care that hey had when dragons lived with them. Slowly in a couple of generations everything would return to the beginning when people were terrified of dragons and hunted them.
