Which How to Train Your Dragon DVDs Are Available in Australia?

How to Train Your Dragon DVDs in Australia include classified DVD submissions of the first two animated films, while Universal lists collections and a DVD of the 2025 live action film. Australian Classification records a modified DVD submission of How to Train Your Dragon (2010), classified PG on August 25, 2010, and a How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) DVD submission, classified PG on September 6, 2014. Those records establish classifications for those submissions, not current stock at an Australian store.

Universal lists a 2019 DVD collection of the three animated features and a 2021 Ultimate Collection with the trilogy and two specials. Its listings provide named contents and runtimes to compare, although the details of an offered Australian package still need to be checked. Universal also lists a Collector's Edition DVD of How to Train Your Dragon (2025), the live action film. The year is useful when distinguishing that release from an animated edition with the same main title.

For broader franchise coverage, visit How to Train Your Dragon. When comparing DVDs, start with the titles you want, then check the edition description and region code. If a seller does not show the contents or region information, ask for those details before ordering.

What Is in the Three Movie DVD Collection?

Universal lists the 2019 How to Train Your Dragon: 3-Movie Collection on DVD with all three animated features and a combined runtime of 5 hours and 4 minutes. The collection includes How to Train Your Dragon (2010), How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014), and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019). The three titles make this listing a reference for a buyer looking for the animated trilogy in one collection.

The combined runtime belongs to the Universal listing, so it should be read alongside the contents rather than treated as a specification for every package with similar artwork. A collection described as having three movies should identify the individual features in its contents. Look for the full title How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World when checking the third film, especially if a seller uses only a brief description of the set.

Universal's listing is a US reference and does not establish current Australian stock or identical specifications for every Australian edition. It also does not establish the bonus material on another package. Before buying, compare the three named films with the seller's description, then check the format and region code separately. If the listing only shows the front cover, ask to see the contents and region information.

What Is in the Ultimate Collection?

Universal lists the 2021 How to Train Your Dragon: The Ultimate Collection on DVD with the animated trilogy and two specials. The named additional titles are Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming, and the listed combined runtime is 5 hours and 49 minutes. Those two titles are the useful details for a buyer comparing this set with a collection of the three features alone.

Universal's 2019 How to Train Your Dragon: 3-Movie Collection lists the animated trilogy with a combined runtime of 5 hours and 4 minutes. The difference between the two listed totals is 45 minutes, but that comparison does not establish how the discs are organized or promise other material. The named titles provide a more direct way to identify the contents than the difference between the runtimes.

The word Ultimate on a cover is not enough to confirm that an offered package matches Universal's 2021 listing. For an Australian or imported copy, look for both Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming in the description, alongside the three animated features. Ask the seller for the contents panel if either special is missing from the listing, and check the region code before placing an order.

Are There Two Movie DVD Sets?

Universal lists a 2019 How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2 DVD collection containing the first two animated films. The listed runtime is 3 hours and 20 minutes, covering How to Train Your Dragon (2010) and How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014). This provides a specific reference for anyone seeking those two films without assuming that a larger collection has the same contents.

The 2019 set is different from Universal's 2019 How to Train Your Dragon: 3-Movie Collection, which lists all three animated features. A buyer who wants How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019) should look for that title in the contents of the package being offered. The number on the front of a collection can help narrow the search, but the individual film titles identify what the listing describes.

For an Australian purchase, check the format and region code as well as the two film titles. Universal's collection listing gives a documented pair and runtime, but it does not establish the specifications of every package offered under a similar name. If the seller's description is incomplete, request the contents panel and region information before deciding whether the copy suits your player and viewing plans.

Is the 2025 Live Action Film on DVD?

Universal lists a Collector's Edition DVD of How to Train Your Dragon (2025), the live action film. The year helps distinguish that listing from DVDs of the animated original, which shares the main title. Universal's listing establishes the edition as a studio reference, but it does not establish current Australian stock or the specifications of every copy offered by a seller.

The earlier animated collections described in Universal's listings cannot include the 2025 film: the three movie collection dates from 2019 and the Ultimate Collection dates from 2021. The Ultimate Collection lists the animated trilogy and two named specials. If you want both animated and live action films in a purchase, check that the particular package names each film you expect to receive.

The Australian Classification Board rated the 2025 live action film PG on May 23, 2025. Its advice mentions mild peril and violence, and some scenes that may upset young children. That record describes the classified film version and does not confirm the extras or classification details of every DVD package. Check the year, edition name and classification label on the offered copy, then confirm its region code against your player.

Which Extras and Short Films Are Included?

DVD extras depend on the edition, and Universal's 2019 US release of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World offers one documented example. Universal said that DVD included an alternate opening, the shorts Bilby and Bird Karma, and other bonus material. Those named extras belong to that announcement, so an Australian or imported package needs its own contents check.

Bilby and Bird Karma are distinct from the specials named in Universal's 2021 How to Train Your Dragon: The Ultimate Collection listing. That collection lists Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury and How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming alongside the animated trilogy. A package description that says only that shorts are included does not identify which titles it contains. Compare the names in the seller's description with the particular material you want.

Australian Classification also records a 29 minute DVD submission of How to Train Your Dragon: Dawn of the Dragon Racers, classified G on September 5, 2014. That separate record does not place the title in either of the collections discussed here. If Dawn of the Dragon Racers is the reason for your purchase, look for its full title on the package or ask the seller to confirm it.

Will an Imported DVD Play in Australia?

An imported DVD may not play in Australia, so compare its region code with your player's specifications before buying. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission identifies Australia and New Zealand as DVD Region 4, the United States as Region 1 and Europe as Region 2. A US studio listing can therefore help identify a collection's contents, but the listing alone does not establish compatibility with your player.

The region printed on the disc package and the regions supported by your particular player are the details to compare. A familiar film title or collection name does not answer that question, and matching the contents of a studio listing does not establish that an offered disc has a particular region code. Check the player's manual or published specifications alongside the information for the exact copy you intend to buy.

For a Region 1 copy from the United States, ask the seller for the disc's region information if it is absent from the listing. Apply the same check to a Region 2 copy from Europe, rather than relying on the collection name. Once the film titles and extras match what you want, confirm the region details before placing the order.

What Should Families Check on the DVD Case?

Families should check the classification advice, film titles and edition details on the DVD case before choosing a copy. The Australian Classification Board classified a modified How to Train Your Dragon DVD submission PG with advice about mild fantasy violence. Its How to Train Your Dragon 2 DVD submission was also classified PG, with advice about mild fantasy themes and violence. Those records concern particular submissions, so read the label on the edition being offered.

Australian Classification records an accredited classifier decision of PG for How to Train Your Dragon (Bonus Disc), dated July 3, 2025, with a duration of 220 minutes. That duration belongs to the bonus disc submission and does not establish the runtime of the 2025 live action feature or the extras supplied with a particular purchase. The title and duration of a classification record should be read together when comparing it with a package description.

Universal separately announced more than 75 minutes of bonus content for the 2025 film in its July 14, 2025 US home entertainment announcement. The announcement and the Australian bonus disc record should not be combined into a promised extras total for an Australian copy. For broader franchise coverage, see How to Train Your Dragon, then check the named extras and region code on the DVD you intend to buy.
