It's crazy how few complaints I have for the show and how easily I can overlook them because of the overall quality
I imagine the third season ended up the way it did because of Netflix. Apparently it's confirmed that Netflix cut 6 episodes from the final season and they're notorious for giving shows little to no warning about their cancelations, how many seasons they'll get, etc. Personally I really enjoyed the ending despite its flaws, and I found I was actually left with questions and ideas I wanted to see explored further. I love this show, it's such a rarity.
What are some of the questions you wanted to see explored, I'm super curious
@@jackthomas2517like where r the giants living now is woodman the only woodman in trolberg will hilda fairy powers evolve where the marra originally came from n any other witches to explore
@@RonanJaPianistallow me to add my thoughts to the pot
Now marra and witch lore
What was with the fairy god/queen?
Why specifically did Johanna and anders split and could they rekindle there relationship
Same, of course I wish it could’ve been 13 like the other 2 seasons but I mean….with the way Netflix is, we’re lucky they didn’t give us like 3 new episodes and call it a “season” LOL. I could TOTALLY see them doing something sneaky like that and selling us short. We got 8, basically 10 episodes since the last one is a triple length special.
Also, no matter how unlikely it is I have to admit I’m still kind of crossing my fingers for the show to come back for a movie or special sometime in the far future, “Candace Against The Universe” style.
This show has a similar vibe to that one tbh where it’s like, you know the characters are still going to go on adventures and keep doing their thing even after the show is over. It felt like a proper ending but at the same time it doesn’t feel like there’s nowhere else to go if it somehow got picked back up in the far future
@jackthomas2517 I wanted to know more about why the island was dying, can it be restored, what happens if it dies, etc. Also wanted to know why the faeries supposedly kicked out the other magical creatures and if it wasn't actually the island that did it. Why does the moon over fairy country look all broken? Especially because it was prominent in the season promo image. What's up with the guy who had lots of horseshoes on his house? (I'm almost 99.9% sure that was the plot to a scrapped episode) What disease did Hilda's mother have and is it gone for good? Do the humans that get kidnapped turn into faeries? (That seems to be the implication) What happened to the fairy mounds? I know some of them were destroyed on purpose, but what about the others?
I've stumbled through this Show cause of my 10-year-old daughter who absolutely adores it. The characters are funny and enjoyable, from Hilda to the elves, Giants, etc. I watched all the seasons and enjoyed them all, it was refreshing to see such a beautiful simple animated show for the kids, even the Soundtrack and background music were spot on every time. It was like watching an old animated show from the old era with beautiful English voices and very well appropriate for everyone, I hope they Consider making other seasons in the future with the same cast.
Hilda is never over so long as we hold it within our hearts.
Like you said, magical realism is what made this show what it is!! I just love the feeling of it, even more than fantasy! I loved this dive into Hilda, it has become a show that I watch every year
I don't think that the 3rd season takes away the feeling that Hilda is just a person like you and me. For me, the reason why she is so adventurous is because she lived in the wilderness for most of her childhood with a lot of freedom and so the natural curious mind of a child wasn't hindered from living a curious driven life (A small bit of her adventurousness may have been inspired from the storys she heard from her father). The only thing that the fairy stuff explained for me is why Hilda has blue hair, that's it. Yes sure, it explains some more interesting stuff about her and especially her mothers origins but what bothers me about that, is that Johanna often says that she was in the Sparrow Scouts when she was Hilda's age, but in season 3 she is shown not living in Trolberg during that time and so couldn't really have been in the Sparrow Scouts from Trolberg during that time. It could be that there are Sparrow Scouts in Tofoten but we don't see any signs of them being there and Johanna acts like she went to the Sparrow scouts in Tofoten.
Besides this I have no real problems with the show and I love it
'She is shown not living in Trolberg?'
Actually, it can be assumed she left Totofen when she was around 11 or 12, which is Hilda's age for most of the show. So yes, she still could have been in the Sparrow Scouts when she was around Hilda's age.
I agree that she could have left shortly after her parents left, but then I'm asking myself what she would need to do to achieve that. Astrid didn't go with here, so she would have gone by herself to a possibly unknown place (I don't think we got information about her going to Trolberg with here parents but she could have) with no known relatives and live there by herself. Something like an orphanage or youth could be a possibility.
This is all theoretical, as we don't have any facts about that time, but I guess I have to agree that there are ways by which Johanna could be in Trolberg during here youth. I do think that she would'nt have gone to Trolberg all by herself at the age of 11 or 12 and think that by the way that I have to search for specific ways to legitimize her being in Trolberg at that age points to it being unlikely
@@DF_17 She mentioned going to a boarding school. And she mentioned discovering the Fairy Mound when she was a bit younger than Hilda (who was 13 at the time). So yes, it is possible she went to Trolberg by herself when she was 11 or 12.
@@jediuser8654 Nice, didn't get that in my first and only watch-through. Thanks for settling this problem
I honestly really liked the third season, and it's actually has a lot to do with how the story gets bigger and more complicated. I find it fitting because the characters grow up, and as part of growing up life becomes more complicated, and your view widens. But despite that, you are still who you are, and the charms of the world of around you stay as well. I think the third season of Hilda manages to capture that atmosphere really well
I enjoyed my time with Hilda. I know she has more adventures ahead, and it brakes me up something fierce knowing I can't join her for any of them.
Never say never. The author of the graphic novel series (on which the show is based on) might write new stories that could be adapted into a continuation of this show.
The moment I saw this show, I learned that it was the definition of peak animation and story telling. I also enjoyed your review on this Netflix legend.
It's always sad to me how little the show got advertised, or passed around on the internet. I'll miss this show a lot.

Hilda's fae heritage doesn't offer an additional explanation as to why she loves the wilderness. It gives a little context to why Johanna wanted to raise her daughter in the woods, but Hilda's love for the wild comes from being raised there.
Agreed. Idk why so many ppl are getting hung up on this when they never even SAID that that had anything to do with what her personality is like. They’re writing their own fanfiction of what they THINK it means XD
When you realize they only made Hilda her familiar because they knew she was part fairy.
You don’t have to agree but imo this was right up there with Gravity Falls and Amphibia for best finales for me. The “complaints” people have with it are all really minor tbh, which is how you know it’s good. Ppl nitpicking means there’s not that much to pick on:)
If you compare it to the Steven Universe or Star vs the Forces Of Evil finales it’s practically perfect XD before anyone starts, I love both of those shows but even I have to agree SU’s finale felt kinda silly/rushed and Star’s just left me going “wait what??”. (Star’s finale felt like the episode just….stops. In fact when it ended by pausing on that last frame I went “huh??” and thought my phone froze before realizing that yes, that was the real ending. Trying to describe it w/o spoilers but if you’ve seen it you probably know)
Best kids show ever to exist
It certainly is.
Great review and explanation! Stumbled on your channel for the first time, and now you’ve got a sub. Look forward to future videos!
i don't think season 3 is weak. i think i like it more than the first one. i like that it somehow went a little bit darker than previous ones because... the trio is growing up. but it's still magical and entertaining. and also they needed to do it different because it's the final one. the only thing that season 3 feels rushed because of the lack of episodes. seems Sony and Netflix did them dirty, huh
Very cool
I love this show
This is really well made for a low-sub channel. Hope you become a huge name on this platform one day! (Also, great review!)
Thank you so much!
I like the third season for what it is, but yeah it forgets what makes hilda so special
So, what do you think of The Fairy Isle winning the Annie (I know you didn't like it).
rewatch season 3
I gonna be honest, season 3 atleast have bar far the best character writting in it but it sad that it loose it original charm, i feel like after the movie luke have one more idea and that is the fairy that have alot of potential but not enough to make it a season so that why it unnecessary complex
Luke might write more stories in the future. At least he seems inclined to do so.
@@lenardbordo9838 Yes, there is a new prequel comic coming soon this year.
Thank you very much for telling me this! I guess we all have something to look forward now. @@ChubbyTwiggy
Frieren is better.
It's always sad to me how little the show got advertised or talked about on the internet. I'll miss the show a lot.
