You want an excuse to watch Hilda? Now you finally have one, so go watch it.
Ok, time to give my honest review of this. When they announced that the next part of Hilda series was going to be a Movie i almost cried of emtion and it was worth to do. It is a beautiful story that continued the clifhanger of Season 2 with Hilda converted to a Troll; you can see her fear of how she looks and how her life is changed after that, being a perfect paralel with Hilda's mother; you can also see her complete meltdown and fear to have her away in what they think is a hostile group. Everyone in this mvoie has a reason to be there and try to help in it's way... ones better than others. They respected the voices, the animation and the continuity of the series, thing that is always good specially on a long event like this one.
About that of ones being better is what i want to talk about, some things are very left behind like why no one told Hilda about the Mountain King and the reason of why he was there, she literally asked about it, but the exchanged mother could have told Hilda that he was there way earlier. Ok the movie needs a conflict but could have been told in another way. Also i dislike the captain of the guards, he honestly is a character i disliked in every single second on screen even after he redeemed, that included season 2 completely.
We still have one more season to come, telling us a few more stories about Hilda and her friends, this is a good and not very long adventure to enjoy.

The Perfect Excuse to Watch Hilda
A charming continuation that didn't quite engage me
I love the Hilda series. To me, it always felt like a mix of the creativity from Adventure Time and a tinge of eeriness from Gravity Falls. But I can admit the quality of episodes does vary, and while some are wildly imaginative, others can come off as tame and conventional.
Unfortunately, the movie follows the latter description, and whilst it does have moments of whimsical fun, the overarching story plays out as expected and never quite captures the heights of mystery of some of the best episodes in the series. Still definitely worth a watch if you are a fan of Hilda.
And yes, the animation and sound design is as great as ever!
Everything I could have hoped for
This movie continues the story of the Netflix show Hilda, so it is a must watch for anybody who like the shows season 1 and 2, but the show must be seen by anybody who wants to watch this movie.
This movie turned out to be everything that I could have hoped for, it beautifully concluded an ark that had silently started in the background of season 1 and had been openly building all through out season 2.
The Story: As mentioned above, this movie is the third act of a much longer overarching story of the conflict between the trolls and the humans. I can't say anything more without spoiling it.
The Characters: They are just as well done as in the series, maybe even better, as in this movie every character that has any relevance to the story has a clear motivation and don't act dumb, another thing to note is that a character that I found annoying in season 2 isn't annoying in this movie.
The Animation The animation is everything that I expected and more, the movie mostly stays on the same amazing level as the rest of the series but it has moments through out that are of even higher quality! It does not disappoint.
The Flaws: If you forced me to think of a flaw that I notice while watching, it would be this: about 7/8 of the way through the movie a charter types on a keyboard and the finger strokes don't match the keyboard, that is the thing that bugged me as soon as I saw it. When I rewatch the movie maybe I will notice something else, but at the moment that is the only thing that stands out to me.
