This movie is the definition of the word "masterpiece". Everything about it works perfectly. The conflict between Hiccup and Stoick is handled very well, the bonding between Hiccup and Toothless is perfectly paced, I love how much Toothless acts like a cat, and how all the dragons act like real animals, and the musical score and flying scenes are absolutely beautiful. I cannot give this movie enough praise.
This and Kung Fu panda are masterpieces. Madagascar is really good too. The music in flight scene is God tier. The whole soundtrack from this film is John Williams level awesomness.
This movie was the first time i actually recognized John Powell. He has since become my favorite composer. One of my favorite movie soundtracks before HttyD was Antz... which he also co-composed and I didn't know until HttyD. And when i watched call of the wild my only thought was "He can't keep getting away with this!" Testflight is just raw unfiltered emotion, i love it.
@@Kajotex My only regret with John Powell is that he doesn't write suites. So his soundtracks just end. After a lifetime of John Williams, I'm used to some sort of wrapup or suite at the end of the soundtrack lol. And yeah, "Test Drive" is best of the best!
This trilogy is one of the rare gems that as a whole is just amazing. The first one obviously epic but the second and third are also unbelievably good! Just heads up, I cried. Like, a lot.
DEFINITELY watch the other two films. And add Big Hero 6 to the list. Smallfoot is another great addition, though it's got a lot of music you'd have to mute. Moana, Zootopia. All wonderful feel good movies.
This is my favorite animated movie of all time. The scene where Hiccup needs to navigate the lines drawn on the ground like a maze to touch Toothless for the first time is such a perfect visual representation of achieving intimacy with another. Having to carefully work through their boundaries little by little and then to risk and hope for acceptance. 🥲😭 The music is perfect. The scene is perfect and punctuates the building of a friendship that makes the whole movie work. This movie's flying scenes also made me feel like a kid again. I love this film.
Hope you continue the series. They are all beautifully animated, written and sincerely enjoyable. A very underrated trilogy of movies IMO. Everyone knows about them but it doesn’t get the love of like Toy Story etc. Great reaction Mary, see you on the next!
If you watch the next two movies in the franchise, you won't be disappointed. They have heart, backstory, character development, Toothless, everything you need to enjoy them!
The whole trilogy is great, like others have said. Here's a little secret about these animated films: almost any of the really well known ones that have come out in the last 20 years are pretty awesome. Some people don't watch them because they think they're just for kids, but they're actually amazing films for everyone. Like other movies, some are better than others, but I haven't seen one that I disliked in quite a while.
For real. Animated movies are by far the most reliable genre in film. It's very rare to find any bad ones over the last 15 years, and their are loads of absolute classics.
The 2nd and 3rd are actually crazy good, highly recommend you watch! Love your videos! I watch your Wall-e reaction when I'm having a bad day, always makes me smile.
Please watch the entire trilogy! It consist of How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World! The entire trilogy is a masterpiece and I think you would love every single one!
The second one is very good as well. This whole trilogy is the best trilogy period. The overarching story is wonderful and the whole series goes together so well!
I will join in the chorus of comments and say that all three of these movies are definitely worth watching!! And the Kung Fu Panda trilogy is also worth watching all the way through! ❤️ This was a great reaction. Very wholesome and feel-good. Very nice way to start my day. Thanks! 💖
I LOVE this movie!!! Toothless!!! 😍😍😍 That scene where they draw 'together' gives me goosebumps every time. And the end, when they both have the matching amputation 😭 The music is so so beautiful! Definitely watch the others! Gift of the Nightfury is so so sweet, just about 20min, set next chronologically.
Definitely watch the 3 movies. The episodic shows fill in some smaller plot holes, but are not necessary. Oh, and 'Toothless" is basically a 40-foot long flying cat.
This trilogy is straight up amazing. When I first watched it I just did it on a whim while being bored, not knowing what I was getting into. It blew me away.
Definitely watch the whole trilogy. The shorts are good also: Gift of the Night Fury, Book of Dragons, Legend of the Boneknapper, Dawn of the Dragon Racers, Homecoming. The series are really good: Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, Race to the Edge.
I have never seen the TV shows, but the three movies are truly awesome. I love them all. The flying scenes are so majestic and grand. Some of the cinematography is epic. I love when Stoic tosses the torch into the lair after the break through the wall. I love when the enormous dragon fall into the ground and explodes. I love the emotional ride we are taken on as Hiccup learns to live with a dragon, and later on when the rest of the village around him does too. I'm starting to tear up just typing this...
Just adding to the chorus of people saying that the whole trilogy is easily worth a watch. The stories, the animation, and the music is top notch in all 3.
I know it is not that popular of an Animated kids movie but the 1970s animation "The Hobbit" is how I was brought up being introduced to JRR Tolkien's work when I was a kid.
watch 2 & 3. for me it doesn't feel like 3 movies but a larger story told over 3 movies. part 2 & 3 are not a rehash of the first movie but a continuation of the story. very heart warming and a well thought out series.
I always enjoy your reaction and comments, just to cool. If your looking for fun animated movies there are a bunch, The Toy Story series, Ants, A Bugs Life, Inside out, plus more but this should be enough to get you started. And yes keep watching this series. Keep up the great work, I love you laugh and comments as you watch the movie.
Here are other animated films I would recommend that you haven't watched on the channel: Wallace & Gromit (first three 30-minute claymation shorts) - A Grand Day Out (1989) - The Wrong Trousers (1993) - A Close Shave (1995) Pixar - Monsters, Inc. (2001) - Finding Nemo (2003) - Inside Out (2015) - Finding Dory (2016)
"What would it be like to fly trough clouds?" - You see a fog, get wet and cold, especially as air chills you even more than temperature. Hang-glider pilots and para-gliders dress warmly precisely because of this.
I'd seen the first two movies when they came out but hadn't seen the 3rd. Last Christmas they had the 3rd movie on for the kids. I watched the whole movie with the kids. And I'm 68. Watch all 3 movies.
There are only 3 movies. The sequels do not disappoint. definitely worth a watch. There is also a main TV series plus a few specials and at least 1 spin-off series. The original TV series is very good along w/ the homecoming special. More character development plus some new ones. Voices include Mark Hamill, Tim Conway, & David Faustino.
Mary, the main trilogy of this series is perfection. I think you'll love 'em... and thanks for doin' 'em! 🐲 #MoviesWithMary #DeanDeBlois #ChrisSanders #HowToTrainYourDragon
Mary, in one of your video you said you were having "baby fever." There are a few movies that would be good for a person with this fever. "Raising Arizona, Baby Boom, She's having A Baby, and Look Who's Talking" are all baby related comedies you will enjoy. There is one family / baby related story that is a thriller that is also interesting. "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" you might like. I know I'm in the minority on what really happened in this movie. I believe Hiccup died in this movie. The evidence was the well established fact that Toothless wasn't able to fly on his own. In the end when Hiccup is knocked off Toothless both fell into the fire together. Toothless wasn't able to help his friend because he wasn't able to fly. The book of dragons lists the Night Fury's facts as "unknown," a lot like death. Hiccup's father wanted for his son to kill a dragon. Hiccup did finally kill the largest dragon, but it cost him his life. Since it is Toothless that represents death, I believe it was Toothless that give Hiccup that new life where dragons and vikings are friends. That wasn't possible in Hiccups world, but it was in Hiccups afterlife.
The Toothless is so similar to my cat, I should be getting paid for the use of his likeness. I've been feeding this cat for 12 years and there is still a risk of drawing back bloody lumps where my fingers were if I hand feed him.
As everyone else has said, the 2nd and 3rd are also incredible. But in particular, take notice of how much of a leap in the quality of animation they take in the sequels. It's amazing how much it improves on what was already beautiful animation. Especially for its time.
My favorites: 1940’s Pinocchio, 1992’s Aladdin, Incredibles 1 & 2, 1999’s Iron Giant. Ps: not kid movies: family entertainment. “Animation isn’t a genre,” Brad Bird
Watch all 3 but dont read about it or look too much at the pictures cuz they give away too many spoilers (you've probably seen already but could potentially forget) This series is ADORABLE perfect antidote to GOT/HOTD when you want to see MORE dragon riding and less of a constant bummer-vibe 😆
The entire trilogy is a masterpiece of animation.
Don't forget the Christmas special
@@andrewsawyer1375 Yes .. The Christmas Special is one of my favorites! ♥️😁♥️
@@andrewsawyer1375 and the show!

i see your comments everywhere bro
Yes please do the whole trilogy, it’s phenomenal!!🤩 I would love to see the Kung Fu Panda trilogy too
Yes! She should alternate movies up through both trilogies because they will win every poll until they are finished.
Easily one of the best animated trilogies. The movies only get better from here, definitely keep going with these.
This and Kung Fu panda are masterpieces. Madagascar is really good too. The music in flight scene is God tier. The whole soundtrack from this film is John Williams level awesomness.
I second that!
I third that!
Disagree, third one is the weakest.
I'd disagree, like the first one the best, it just has the most energy imo. But i can see why someone would prefer the sequels over the original :)
"You're crazy....i like that." Has always made me laugh, especially the way she gets yanked out of the way by Astrid as if to say "Nope, spoken for."
The orchestral SCORE for this movie. One of my absolute favorites!

13:09
Marij: this dragon is gonna draw better than I do
Toothless: Nope! *random squiggly line*
This trilogy is one of the rare gems that as a whole is just amazing. The first one obviously epic but the second and third are also unbelievably good! Just heads up, I cried. Like, a lot.
One of the best Film Trilogies ever made!
DEFINITELY watch the other two films. And add Big Hero 6 to the list. Smallfoot is another great addition, though it's got a lot of music you'd have to mute. Moana, Zootopia. All wonderful feel good movies.
The scene when he holds out his hand. Toothless hesitates... Perfectly done.
I swear they based all of Toothless's cute expressions off my cat. She had black fur, the right color eyes, and most importantly the right attitude.
The animators did base them on different cat and dog breeds.
17:54 death spirals are a well known killer of fighter pilots. Apparently paraplegic dragons are not immune.
28:00 I like how Stoic just looks on as Gobber tells him off and nods like, 'Yup, can't argue.'
This is my favorite animated movie of all time. The scene where Hiccup needs to navigate the lines drawn on the ground like a maze to touch Toothless for the first time is such a perfect visual representation of achieving intimacy with another. Having to carefully work through their boundaries little by little and then to risk and hope for acceptance. 🥲😭 The music is perfect. The scene is perfect and punctuates the building of a friendship that makes the whole movie work. This movie's flying scenes also made me feel like a kid again.
I love this film.
I love the opening and ending lines of this one in particular. Going from pests to pets over the course of the film is such a cute transition lol.
Mary, the voice of Hiccup’s father is Gerard Butler, aka King Leonidas in 300.
All 3 movies are incredible. The second one is my fave. Roger Deakins' cinematography really pushes the animation to the next level
The music of this series is TOP NOTCH AMAZING! It is so cool what a good soundtrack can do for a movie. It makes you feel like you could actually fly!
25:16 I love that you can see the distress on Stoick's face. He's also hurt by all this.
One of the best movie sountracks. So beautiful and packed with emotion.
Watch all 3
All three movies are outstanding
All of the movies are great. They don't go down hill like most franchises.
Big Hero 6 is terrific. You'll feel all the feels.
Hope you continue the series. They are all beautifully animated, written and sincerely enjoyable. A very underrated trilogy of movies IMO. Everyone knows about them but it doesn’t get the love of like Toy Story etc. Great reaction Mary, see you on the next!

25:10 "Whoa! Whoa, okay, things you can never take back!" lol
Htow To Train Your Dragon is the rare perfect trilogy, all of three are really good movies. Definitely think you should react to the other two!
Believe it or not, all 3 are amazing
WATCH THE REST OF THE TRILOGY!
this trilogy is one of those rare gem that all of them is good
I can never get over the scenes: first touch
Test flight
And when he realises he has a missing leg and toothless helps him up
Tangled is a great disney movie💕💕
one of the few trilogies where each film is as good as the others. Its amazing.
I loved the whole trilogy, they all hold up really well!
The 2nd and 3rd are actually crazy good, highly recommend you watch! Love your videos! I watch your Wall-e reaction when I'm having a bad day, always makes me smile.
This is a fun trilogy!!! I hope you also finish checking out the Kung Fu Panda films. A fourth entry will arrive March of next year.
Please watch the entire trilogy! It consist of How to Train Your Dragon, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World!
The entire trilogy is a masterpiece and I think you would love every single one!
This is one of my all time favourite animated movies! 😍
yay i love this trilogy
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! it resonated with me soo much!!
The second one is very good as well. This whole trilogy is the best trilogy period. The overarching story is wonderful and the whole series goes together so well!
This is one of my favorite animated movies and series, I was so excited to see you were releasing a reaction. 100% keep going!
You need to add a plush *Toothless* next to your Grogu!🐉
I will join in the chorus of comments and say that all three of these movies are definitely worth watching!!
And the Kung Fu Panda trilogy is also worth watching all the way through! ❤️
This was a great reaction. Very wholesome and feel-good. Very nice way to start my day. Thanks! 💖
My favorite line in this movie, "Thanks for nothing. You worthless reptile." Cracks me up every time.
The 2 movie sequels here are as strong as the first movie
For a Christmas animated movie, I believe, "Klaus" would be a great watch.
Other animated movies that i can recommend you are: The Road to El Dorado, The Prince of Egypt and Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron.
I LOVE this movie!!! Toothless!!! 😍😍😍
That scene where they draw 'together' gives me goosebumps every time. And the end, when they both have the matching amputation 😭
The music is so so beautiful!
Definitely watch the others!
Gift of the Nightfury is so so sweet, just about 20min, set next chronologically.
I still say "NIGHTFURY!!! GET DOWN!!!" in a Scottish accent all the time.
This is the one animated series, I recommend watching all 3. They are truly wonderful.
"Stoick is not that stoic." Very true.
Yes, here you need to watch all three movies. They are all great. Really!!
Definitely watch the 3 movies.
The episodic shows fill in some smaller plot holes, but are not necessary.
Oh, and 'Toothless" is basically a 40-foot long flying cat.
How to train your dragon is one of those rare trilogies that get better with every addition.
What you say about the sheep at 3:49 killed me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤕☠️
Franchise gets better with each iteration. It’s a phenomenal animated trilogy.
This trilogy is straight up amazing. When I first watched it I just did it on a whim while being bored, not knowing what I was getting into. It blew me away.

OH! What an exciting surprise!!! I love this flick!
The whole trilogy is really good, would definitely recommend!
First one is my favorite but the other 2 in the main trilogy are great too. They are definitely worth a watch!
20:15 Odin’s dead?! These Vikings believe they live in a post-Ragnarök world!
(The Ragnarök where he’s eaten by a wolf, not the other one)
This and Trollslayers (tv series but really deserved it's own movies) are fantastic. Works for all ages, just good clean fun.
This series is great as well as big hero 6. you should watch them all.
If you haven't seen The Incredibles, you could see that. My favorite animated movie by far.
I have never seen the TV shows, but the three movies are truly awesome. I love them all. The flying scenes are so majestic and grand. Some of the cinematography is epic.

All three How to Train Your Dragon animated films are very good. It's a great trilogy. This and Kung Fu Panda trilogy.
I sorely needed your sunny disposition today Mary, thank you for the video. :)
The Iron Giant would be a fantastic animated film to watch.
They are all good. 😉

- Finding Nemo (2003)
- Inside Out (2015)

31:32 I laughed so hard because when you said 'on the lips' sounded like 'Andale pues' which is a Mexican expression
"What would it be like to fly trough clouds?" - You see a fog, get wet and cold, especially as air chills you even more than temperature. Hang-glider pilots and para-gliders dress warmly precisely because of this.
Yes, all the movies in this series are good. Watch them all!
The second is great as well...a bit sadder but great and worth to watch all 3 movies.

The second one is phenomenal too!!! So is the third!!
You should also try watching "the iron giant"..."over the hedge"..."shark tale"..."toy story"....or "bolt".

Watch all 3 but dont read about it or look too much at the pictures cuz they give away too many spoilers (you've probably seen already but could potentially forget)
This series is ADORABLE
perfect antidote to GOT/HOTD when you want to see MORE dragon riding and less of a constant bummer-vibe 😆

Yes...........Part 2 and Part 3 are just as good or better.
Up is a fantastic movie.
