How Hilda Just DESTROYED Its Biggest Theory

Anders' sudden appearance makes me think Pearson wrote him in to answer a question he knew fans were too obsessed about to let go.

[@Yarocrafter]

Maybe ahah. But in one of his interviews prior to Season 3 he mentioned he had a story with Hilda's dad in mind, so that's gotta be it 🤷‍♂️

[@SwordTune]

@@Yarocrafter In mind, but I don't think it was Pearson's main interest.

[@sarbe6625]

I do appreciate it tbh. I can't imagine the drama surrounding that going unanswered if it didn't.

[@thecavalry5764]

I like the idea that the bell keeper has blue in his hair due to having some kind of fairy ancestry. It makes the world feel more expanded to show that different characters can have connections to magic without being related.

[@jankaaishakovacs7714]

It’s such a good take!

[@ethenallen1388]

My head cannon is that the Bell Keeper is descended from a fairy changeling.

[@ST4RS_UN1TED]

They could be connected, as he has almost the same hair color as the mom, and the blue streak! So maybe it’s the uncle/brother of the mom

[@McSenkel]

I love how Anders bumps into the Bell Keeper at the end of the movie. I like to think it's a nod to the speculative part of the fans.

[@Yarocrafter]

@@ChubbyTwiggy Where did you get the info about the prequel?

[@ChubbyTwiggy]

@@Yarocrafter The creator himself confirmed it on some fan's post, after they found out its book cover from the publisher.

[@melonie19]

Maybe the bellkeeper is part fairy like Hilda? Like maybe some of their traits are having an appeal to cucumber sandwiches, blue hair, and having an affinity to wildlife. But because Hilda's fairy ancestry isn't revealed til the end, Pearson probably realized people were thinking he's her dad, so he removed the blue hair to make it less confusing?

[@Pro_Gamer672]

or maybe they just cancelled their plans about him because Netflix did cut off 6 episodes of season 3. I guess they couldn't add everything in only 8 episodes.

[@ethenallen1388]

My head cannon is that the Bell Keeper is descended from a fairy changeling.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

To be fair the bell keeper can still be father FIGURE even if he is not her biological father.

[@elissechristenson5396]

I think it would be so smart if the writers made it so that the bell keeper went to the same boarding school as Joanna, and that’s why he smiled when he saw Hilda reuniting with her. He remembers her from school and I would hope that would make an episode evolving their relationship and Joanna remembering him.

[@Pro_Gamer672]

4:41 Kinda because it makes no sense why his hair was 100% brown in season 3 while in season 2 it was obvious he had some blue points. I'm pretty sure they were actually planning to do something with him but eventually cancelled it for some reason. I wasn't so sure if he was her dad but I was hoping him to be her uncle or at least a cousin. Do you believe they were planning to do something but they regreted it?

[@Yarocrafter]

I don't see any reason to throw away this idea, it would've been really cool 🤷‍♂

[@Pro_Gamer672]

@@Yarocrafter True but I can't think any other explaination for that.

He could have been descended from a changeling fairy.

[@alexjewett7455]

I think it might just be the lighting. It's pretty bright, and the blue streaks in his hair are a little faint.

[@andrescalderonmorales1349]

I see some comments about how the bell keeper could be hilda's uncle, so here's my headcanon, more than a theory. I like to think that the BK share story with astrid (probably a friend / partner from the past?) like, we just never got to see more of her during her youthful years, just to come back and find his brother is going to be dad... so, maybe she met a young BK at the time she was absent? I mean, it's quite obvious that astrid is older than the bell keeper but, let's be honest, he's not in the same age range as johanna, plus he seems to be older than anders so, maybe he ages like fine wine? (he's not balding haha!).

[@ethenallen1388]

I thought that the Bell Keeper was Johana's brother. It turns out she was an only child, but I think that the possibility that they knew each other is still valid. They may have met in the Sparrow Scotts where they discovered a mutual love for nature which led her to become a painter and, to pay the bills, a graphic designer and him to the Safety Patrol where he could do such things as watch the waff migrations. The meeting between him and Anders during the Great Raven Parade makes me think that they knew each other, may have been brothers. The Bell Keeper may have stayed away when he saw Hilda and Johana together because they had had a bad falling out and he didn't want to reopen old wounds for her. If so, Anders might be able to heal an old friendship.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Glad they threw this in to answer a fan theory. Hilda’s dad was the only part of the entire story that bothered me. It was such an emotionally rich storyline with a lot of depth, but it wasn’t explored enough in my opinion. Hilda’s mom explains pretty well (for a child to understand) that he loves her and is doing her best. But that isn’t an excuse that he’s a deadbeat and wasn’t there for her. I feel like they needed that moment of Hilda being like, actually this isn’t ok and you can’t come and go as you please and you have to make an effort, and then he would have a big apology scene or something. Like sure, he loves her, and he cares a little, but not enough of either apparently. Ya, him trying to save her from the fairy island is a bit of a redemption arc, but not really.

[@Yarocrafter]

Yeah, it would've been nicer to explore their relationship a bit more, but I think the creator kinda made it clear that this was never planned as a major storyline, unfortunately 🤷‍♂

[@sarbe6625]

I still think the Belleeper can also be Hilda's dad. It all depends on how that meetcute between Anders and the Bellkeeper we see in the finale goes.

[@RedX03]

Also cmon look at there staches they knew what they were doing

[@chelseashamim9148]

I can't believe her dad was just a bumb

[@foreverknight66]

i think it was just a fun way to give closure to fans who subscribed to the theory.

[@jackfelt1983]

Im ngl i heavily dislike hilda's dad. It just feels like we got a kanuckles and flapjack situation but without the oddball nature of kanuckles (his only good part) Idk maybe if he looked like he's experienced the world in some form then he'd be more interesting i mean look at hilda and her mom BOTH look like adventurers when in causal or dangerous situations but hildas friends (and her dad) look like average shmoos even after both have gone through a few off screen adventures (and one being a witch) no one really prepares any sort of "adventure gear" (except hilda who always seems to have a plan in mind and is smart and hildas mom who packs everything when with hilda(

[@Yarocrafter]

Well personally, I didn't like Hilda's dad right away as well But I think he really showed some care for Hilda as a dad (after all he decided to move to Trolberg), so what he really lacks is just the struggle to self-improve Perhaps we could've gotten this character development in Season 4, but now we'll never know 🙃

[@jackfelt1983]

@@Yarocrafter true but the issue was more his whole " ive explored like you hilda" but he lacks common sense He means well but lacks everything

I also dislike him very much but he does care for Hilda but he's just never been there for her. Character development 👍

[@0lliesFreakShow]

The fact that they gave him blue hair, and gave him so many scenes of him bonding with Hilda in the show and they both liked cucumber sandwiches just makes me so confused, but ig they didn’t like that it would have been to predictable and since they didn’t make him her dad they had an excuse to make more episodes on why she had blue hair. Hence the fairy mound, fairy world and whatnot

[@jankaaishakovacs7714]

I loved the 3rd season. It showed us why Hilda’s mom and dad are not together anymore. Hilda’s family tree and she is a fairy after all 💪🏻 Gave a true closure with Hilda’s dad staying.

[@lenardbordo9838]

Thank you for this video and I would love to see a video about Hilda's family.

[@Pro_Gamer672]

Idea, what about making a video about explaining Hilda being strange strong sometimes? For example, in season 3 while she was with her father trying to steal a treasure from a troll she did manage to climb with just only one arm a wooden pole like she did horizontal bar by just using only one arm! It's not just quite impressive but how a 13 years old girl had such strength to do that. I'm much older than her but when I tried once to do horizontal bar I did manage to do almost the half from what she did and I had to use both of my arms, lol. I bet she would beat everyone in arm wresting! Also, in season 2 she did manage to lift a mountain sheep like it was nothing and when she was little she had move a heavy rock to save Twig. Also she throws a chair 20 feet above her head at the time worm. Pretty sure she is being weird strong because of her her fairy generetics.

[@Yarocrafter]

That's an interesting theory! I never really paid attention to that, but I'd think it's just that she spent the majority of her life in the wilderness, so that's why she's more used to doing things like that

[@Pro_Gamer672]

@@Yarocrafter Even if she's well trained of her adventurers it's quite hard from such a young age to have such strength. It's true that her wild life did make her more strong than other kids in her age but still seems pretty weird sometimes. There's also other people thinking it's because of her fairy genetics.

[@seandorama5932]

@@Pro_Gamer672well we do have to remember this is still a show where the animators can have anything happen, maybe other kids are or close to being able to do that. Or I could be wrong it’s been a while since I’ve watched Hilda and I only just finished season 3

[@K9-King]

I admit, when I was bingewatching Hilda for the first time, I never did bothered to asked such questions, or even when I did asked it to myself, it really wasn't as relevant as I do know many shows don't need to say what happened to a certain character's parent, mother or father and so on. Even after seeing all episodes am good with both Anders being Hilda's dad and the keeper of the bell isn't, however a fun headcanon I thought is that just because the keeper of the bell isn't Hilda's biological father, who says he can't be her stepfather, just a fun thought and luckily not one I take seriously lol. I will say, I do admire how Luke wanted to state that the need to mention Hilda's father is irrelevant for the plot, in fact I remember a video talking about how some stories work because they aren't desperate to explain everything and it's sad to think that most people are always wanting answers to stuff that don't need an explanation, even ones that could be given a simple answer like yes or no, they still are in real demand to know everything, which is unfortunate and I would know the pain of trying to explain things that don't need answers.

@@Yarocrafter Johanna in first season said she was a sparrow scout (there arent any in Tofoten) but she got abandoned by her parents at the age of 10, she couldnt go live alone at Trolberg being a minor, and Astrid said she never leaved tofoten, so i really dont know if Johanna escaped or something after her encounter with fairys (Or maybe yes and thats why she is adventurer like Hilda, even tho Hilda liked adventuring and Johanna was forced to do, and that is why she is so overprotecting with Hilda) but then i dont see another way of explaining it, but idk season 1 was the less lineal story of all the other seasons...
