- HTTYD, a film series where viking boy Hiccup trains a dragon named Toothless. It will make your heart race with excitement, fill you with emotion, and most of all... make you wish you had a dragon that acted like a cat.
Here are some funny, interesting, and relatable reviews of the films from the site Letterboxd. (Some reviews have been trimmed for length.)
Thanks for watching this video! I appreciate it a lot, and I hope I entertained you a bit :)

Here's your friendly reminder that Toothless' face is based off Stitch (as well as Toothless' personality being partially inspired by him). Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, who co-directed Lilo & Stitch, also worked together on the first How to Train Your Dragon movie. Chris Sanders has also consistently been the voice of Stitch since then, from Kingdom Hearts II to the Lilo & Stitch TV series.
u just made my day better how dare u
I’m pretty sure they directed the whole trilogy, not just the first one
@@joedesena5402 Chris co-directed just the first one. Dean was the sole director of the rest. So not quite
@@AverytheCubanAmerican Just looked it up, and you’re right
Wow
I remember my HTTYD phase... I shipped Hiccup and Astrid like there was no tomorrow, I simped for Hiccup like every other preteen girl did when they watched these movies, and I begged my parents to buy me every single Toothless plushie I saw. Needless to say, they did not buy me ANY of those Toothless plushies. And I forgot to mention how much I just wanted to BE Astrid, like that girl was everything I aspired to. She seemed so cool to me and the way she was able to be intimidating but still have Hiccup acting like the sweetest dork to her was just so impressive. The best thing about that phase was getting to bond with my brother over our shared love for trained dragons and shipping fictional teenage Vikings.
The only question I still have is this: if Astrid is supposed to be strong enough to jump around while swinging that huge axe, why are her arms so goshdarn skinny?? My girl deserves more muscle, DreamWorks.
Come on Dreamworks, don't be shy, give us buff Astrid
Yeah she would have been HOTTER
@@midnight_blue_moon well this made my night.
preach!
Holy shit I relate to everything you said, and Astrid was kinda of a role model for me when I was younger (I'm totally the opposite of her nowadays). And yes, the fact that she doesn't have big muscles while it's implied all the time that she is incredibly strong is insulting
7:58 just seeing the words "snotnuts" against a dark screen is so much funnier than actually seeing the entire scene
RIGHT
I love how people are wishing they could live in the HTTYD world, even though we would all die after, like, ten minutes.
Anything to cuddle meatlug
@@itznptime806 But you'd die.
they would be the best 10 minutes
yes but i get to die with vikings and dragons which is badass af imo
I would go find and tame a timberjack
I find it funny how, after re watching httyd 1, the other dragons didn’t even get named until the second movie! (Like stormfly, hookfang, meatlug, barf, and belch)
Yeah the other dragons were literally just objects until the tv show
They got named in the series "dragons, defenders of berk". There is two series that take place before the 2nd movie
@@FishFactInc. Technically 3
@@FishFactInc. can’t believe i forgot about defenders and riders of berk, gonna have to dig out those DVDs and rewatch them
@@FishFactInc. actually they got named in the snoggletog special, which plays before “riders of berk”
I remember when my Dad and I were going to see the third HTTYD in theaters, I bet my Dad $5 that if Toothless and the Light Fury were going to have baby dragons at the end of the film that they would be black and white hybrids, while my Dad thought that the film would follow the same trope that Lady and the Tramp, Treasure Planet and Kiki’s Delivery Service had, in which there would be three female offspring and one male (oddly specific, but okay Dad). I convinced him that I would be correct because I was currently learning about genetics and Punnett squares in my high school AP Biology class, but he told me that was too scientific for a fantasy film with dragons.
When the black and white baby dragons appeared at the end of the film, my Dad sighed, handed me $5 from his pocket, and muttered “You win”.
Well, good at him for holding his end of the deal.
@@jordancooney6817 ikr they're lucky their dad actually went along with the deal
Reminds me of when we were learning punnett squares in 7th grade science, my teacher used one of the baby dragons as a base for like trying out punnett squares and how the features would show up
Hiccup and Astrid having Percabeth vibes is so true and i never thought about it before holy shit
Omg yes
I never thought about it, but as soon as I heard it I knew deep in my bones it was true
I had to pause the video for a whole minute to process that statement and how unbelievably correct it was!
AGREED
I've been saying they for YEARS
i remember being obsessed with httyd 💀
i still am
@@peachesandapricots5010 cool
Same, I remember watching the movies and the series 24/7
Omg same remember the Netflix show?!
@@graaceie OMG YASS
funny that one person said that the dragons acted like dogs when in fact the writers based toothless' behavior on a cat
8:43 Chloe had no idea how true this was.
If you play the mobile game "Rise of Berk" the babies are indeed listed as "Nightlights".
Hiccstrid does in fact have percabeth energy and I love it
I do too. It might explain why I like them so much
Their development in race to the edge was the first time I have ever squealed at on-screen romance.
How? They are so different
I never knew half of these existed. That's what being a casual fan will do to a person.
If you are planning to review httyd, I strongly recommend you to watch these short films
I only knew about httyd. httyd2 i only saw parts of it and httyd hidden world i only had the audiobook. I did know about the Dragon Legends and I absolutely loved RoB/DoB and rtte
Stoic's death was the first time I ever cried at a film
+saving your tribe and people
+defeating an evil dragon the size of a mountain
+being praised as a hero by everyone you’ve ever known
+winning the approval of your stubborn father
+getting the girl
+having the literal coolest pets imaginable
+being able to fly on the backs of dragons everyday
-all that is at the cost of a leg
Hmm…
Worth it! Double worth it!
Hmm...
🪚 Welp, here goes nothing
As a kid, i was absolutely TERRIFIED of How To Train Your Dragon 2 due to Toothless being brainwashed and being very feral
You should do "Percy Jackson movie reviews" because that would be hilarious
Love that at the end of the first movie, instead of hiccups dad being upset that hiccup got hurt, he's just thankful he survived, even thanking toothless iirc.
The one thing I don't like about these movies is that they never showed baby Toothless being small enough to fit in Hiccup's pocket like in the books
My whole world has shattered now that I know this information
Yeah when I read the book I was like, which part of this were they inspired by other than the names 💀 like the dragons could talk?!?!
Apart from Hiccup's character the books and the movies are honestly completely different universes and honestly I like both. The books have a bit more medieval sense in its drawings and the fact that dragons have a whole ecosystem and language leads to many situations, but I like how in the movies the vikings are more friendly to Hiccup after the first one.
I never got out of my httyd phase
Me too. Its just at the back of my head (or rather heart) at ALL TIMES.
Same, I’m im proud I never got out of mine lol
Same
Me neither
I love this series so much! I have recently got back into it and have been watching the series on Netflix. It’s really good and recommend it!
Now I just need to read the original books-
I can confirm that the original books are incredible!! (They do get surprisingly dark at the end though, which just makes them better!)
the books are VERY different from the movies, but still very good!! i have fond memories of borrowing like 2-3 of them per week and reading during class lol
The original books are as good as the movies/shows, but have a completely different story.
Httyd was my childhood, it’s so nostalgic. I love the franchise sm.
THE PERSON WHO BROUGHT UP THE PERCABETH ENERGY
THANK YOU BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Edit: I went and gave snuggles to my toothless Build-a-bear because he deserved it
They are literally Percy and Annabeth, and I love it
Suggestion: video game movie reviews (Sonic movies, the Mario movie, Moshi Monsters the movie (seriously that has some hilarious reviews), etc)
Detective Pikachu
We are what we behold
That’s a game with a quite deep meaning o.o
@@deelishjubu I've played it before loved it
It would be tradition for my then best friend and i to watch httyd2 whenever he came over in primary/high school. I remember having a kiddy video camera in year 6 and filming some of the tv series before camp to watch on the bus. I read some of the original books, absolutely wild, broke my heart in a way only perfect books could. I love HHTYD, always will!
You say dragon like scooby-doo's Fred says treasure and i appreciate that
Surprisingly I remember when I first watched httyd I was eating grilled cheese at a sister's friends house and I was around 2-5 years old.Then in the future I got a dvd of the series and my dad got a dragon racing toothless toy(the one covered in paint)oh and how younger me wanted more.Httyd was awesome and now I'm into skyrim :)
I think "White Fury" sounds cooler than Light Fury.
It's funny how you have to watch Gift of the Night Fury to understand a little of Hidden World.
Also, I've given myself labels for the Night Lights:
Blue one, White one and Green one.
I loved watching the Green Night Light sleeping on the sheep for hours.
White fury sounds too much like a racist terrorist group...
hey do you know the real names of the night lights? if you don't ill tell you right now :), the "blue one" is dart the "white one " is pounser " and the "green one" is ruffrunner but you dont have to call them that 😁
@@lightfury5209 Yeah I know their names. I just felt like sharing what my mind sometimes likes to call them.
I absolutely LOVE the HTTYD movies. I'll admit I haven't watched the TV series (except for part of the nine realms, but everyone in the fandom thinks it's horsesh*t so I won't elaborate). I also have books 1,3,4,5 and I'm hoping to obtain the rest someday soon. I know about the short films but haven't watched most of them.
I've seen everything except Nine Realms. The short films have some interesting world building of varying quality which is fun but not super necessary to see but I do strongly recommend Gift of the Nightfury because it does actually have a good coherent plot and is a sweet Christmas special. Of the TV shows both are fun, Race to the Edge is definitely better both in animation quality and plot complexity but it includes characters and plot points that were introduced in Defenders of Berk so you kinda need to watch all of it for context because they're really two halfs of the same show. It fills in what happened during the time skip between movies 1 and 2 and gives tons more information and world building on the dragons.
Wait, I thought the series was just Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge?
@@fireboaserpent I forgot the first half of Defenders of Berk was called Riders of Berk but yeah, the original canon era TV shows are just those but they recently made another show called The Nine Realms that if I remember the trailer right was set way in the future in modern times and had to do with kids rediscovering dragons or something?
Anyone else watched the Netflix series? lol httyd race to the edge was super cool
Yes, I loved it
@@taylor_green_9 Me too.
Omg yes, I keep rewatching it since I don't have much to watch lmao
@@carloseduardoleodorodemori3224 Me too aswell🍷🗿
I walked outta this movie crying, sobbing internally.
MY CHILDHOOD MY HYPERFIXATION MY LOVE AHWKSHSJDHD
3:05 Nah man, Hiccup finally started taking testosterone. My man is transmasc and I will fight you if you think otherwise.
Hiccup is high key amazing disabled rep and, as a disabled person, I love him so much
i remember watching httyd 2 as a 14 year old in cinema and being so excited by the dragons again. it was only afterwards when one of my classmates saw me while we were exiting the cinema and she commented on how hot hiccup was, did i realize not everyone was paying attention to the dragons
The one about percabeth vibes is completely accurate.
was just about to domment this
Race to the edge is still one my favourite tv shows. I love it.
Httyd was just my complete life when I was younger
Since the most popular holiday (Christmas) is coming up, I would like to suggest you make a video on Home Alone movie reviews. You don't have to do it if you don't want to, just thought I'd suggest. If you do plan on making a video on them just know, that there are like, seven of them now.
Oh this is a good idea!
@@Jade_West2010 Thank you!
Last year in october i litterally watched the 1st movie every single day, if i missed one I'd watch it twice the next day. I have spent over 2 days of my life watching httyd and i regret nothing
"THE HAMMERHEAD YAK RIDNG THE HAMMERHEAD WHALE"
that shit had 7 year old me CACKLING
in year 6 of primary school, on world book day, my friend who used a wheelchair was doing a cosplay of hiccup and he used papier-mâché to make his wheelchair look like toothless. it was really cool!
The HTTYD movies m. Beloved. I love that scene where Hiccup was using cool tricks (like that grass thingy that pacifies dragons) to pass those dragon training classes.
I really wanna see Lego Movie reviews or Ninjago reviews next!
snoggletogg seems like a euphemism for something
I remember in my httyd phase I had a constant existencial crisis between having a major crush on Astrid and wanting to be her
"Hiccup got hot but his voice did not" they can't say the same about me. My voice is hot, but my hair is hotter. It's why so many ladies want to come up and hug me, although I'm already taken thanks to Ri Sol-ju and I have kids. I took my daughter on one of my trips recently as she wanted to see a missile up close. Our soldiers were ecstatic to see her for the first time.
😟
Okay Kim Jong-un
watched this with nutella smothered all over my hands. 10/10 great video :)
I cried at the ending of httd 3….In theaters….
Then cried two more times at home……
That’s a record!
I love httyd
It’s an amazing series, though I’ve only watched the three core movies and some of the series that talks about the different dragon types.
The original books are awesome too
Thank you Tonka Joey and letterboxd reviews for giving me the motivation to watch the series, I’ve been wanting to do so for years
(Don’t ask me why it took me this long)
Update 12/4/22 (Outside of the stuff where I talk about the stuff I liked about the movie, my feelings towards the movie have kind of changed. Scroll down this comment if you wanna hear my current thoughts) Just finished watching the first one. It was great and I wish I watched it sooner. Interesting world, a well developed bond between the main duo, gorgeous flight scenes, interesting conflicts, great protagonists and a satisfying climax and ending. The scenes where Hiccup, Astrid and those other 3 kids ran around in the maze fighting random dragons was pretty boring (and I found those 3 random people annoying. I say 3 because I grew to like Astrid as the movie went on) but other than that this movie was really good. I can’t wait to watch the other two (Hopefully there’s less of them side peeps in the other 2 movies). Scroll down for my current thoughts on the movie
Update 1/21/23: Looking back at it now, my feelings on HTTYD 1 have soured (Plz don’t hurt me ). It’s a good movie, and there’s a lot of stuff I like about it, such as the growing friendship between Hiccup and Toothless, Hiccup’s conflict with Stoik, the flight scenes, and the story and worldbuilding. But what really holds this movie back from amazing for me is the pacing. The first 20 minutes or so are tightly written and there’s a sense of story progression throughout them (Same goes for the third act), but once the training day stuff arrives, the movie starts becoming extremely slow, and for the most part, stays like that until the 1 hour mark. As I’ve said before I found the training day stuff extremely boring, and the random kids who’s names I forgot, to be pretty annoying, and it felt like the second act didn’t focus enough on the actually interesting parts of the movie or the main plot and conflicts, the latter feeling kind of rushed at times as a result. I’m sorry guys, I like this movie I really do and I wanted to love it as much as everyone else does. I really hope the 2nd and 3rd movies are better
One of these months I should start rewatching all the httyd movies and tv series in chronological order.
Although I'm not able to watch the final movie of httyd, the others I've loved so much and if I were to have any dragon. I would have what ever hiccups mom has, it's awesome as hell. Also if I were to ever die, I would ghost my way to someone's house, and turn on the movie.
OMFG. I remember being absolutely OBSESSSED. Like REALLY obsessed. In fact httyd 2 was my first movie to see in a cinema. After that. I was a FANGIRL. I remember making my parents drive to the mall to find a toothless plush, then on my 8th birthday I got it. I still have him today! and I also had a little toothless toy, and played the online rpg. I adored the animated series. Anything hyttd I LOVED. Man I miss the franchise. :')
BTW nine realms is SHIT.
How does no one remember this absolute banger of a line:
“DEPLOY THE YAK!”
Ok uh shoutout to the person who said that astrid and hiccup have “percabeth” energy?
i don't know what it is in english but in the german version of how to train your dragon homecoming there is a sentences "und dann traff mich ein mächtiger schlag" and i think thats wonderful
I'm still obsessed with httyd
Hot take but I think Hiccup should have stayed a weak ass little stick. I miss tiny Hiccup who found his confidence in something outside of being physically strong.
Astrid should be buff as hell tho.
When I watched the first httyd movie for the first time in a bit I cried at least 8 times into the first 20 minutes
To answer the toothless vs shrek dragon question, my answer is toothless all the way. While dragon may be larger, toothless is much much faster both in sky and on land, plus the fact his fire breath is better (being both quicker, able to be fired in quick succession and hitting like bullets). Additionally, toothless has faced off against dragons of much grander sizes and with much greater destructive potential and came out victorious
not even kidding i was about to request this video wow
The review about percabeth energy??!! I threw my glasses to the ground (dw, it was carpeted) - HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS BEFORE??!!?
Extremely shocked there was no coverage for the show
3:00
Jinx and Vi from Arcane and Lloyd from LEGO ninjago, I wish my puberty hit me that hard.
K so I once asked my father if I can have a nightlight. He of course didn’t know what I truly meant. Still waiting for my dragon, Dad!
I appreciate that you included some of the holiday specials and mini movies or whatever you want to call them.
But yeah, How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite movie trilogy of all time so this was a great video to watch 😊
If you don’t mind me making suggestions for another one of these types of videos, can you do a video for the Lego Movies, SpongeBob Movies, and TMNT movies?
I would LOVE to see what funny letterboxed reviews people have made on those movies
3rd episode of asking for all the TMNT movies
DreamWorks did us dirty when the killed off hiccups dad.
The racing movie was my favorite of the mini-movies. I’m not even all that competitive, but I absolutely loved it when I was a kid.
this video made me realize how similar your accent is to hiccup’s - this is a complement imo, please understand that
0:36 toothless absolutely smokes her tbh he shreds bigger dragons every two weeks or smth
I have watched these movies over 100 times at least. Not my most watched movie tho. My mom watched Kung Fu Panda 3 with me every day for years. It was her idea.
Sonic movie reviews would be nice since... I forgot
THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS (also could you maybe do reviews for httyd tv shows next? Thank you!)
2:56 hiccup and Astrid do be giving off major percabeth vibes
My favourite movie of all time
I loved those movies, they gave me so so much joy
..
Actually, now that we're talking about HTTYD, I'm gonna go rewatch the movies, BAIIII
I cried so hard when I first watched httyd 3
The little boy next to me was so shocked because I just couldn't stop
2:48 Ong. Back when I was in the PJO/HOO fandom, I had this thought a lot
I like to say that Hiccup didn't hit puberty, Hiccup got hit *by* puberty
Loved this so much! Can you do Beverly Chihuahua? Just a recommendation!
YESSS
Super unrelated but I love the way you pronounce dragon
You know what Dreamworks could have made instead of “NiNe ReAlMs”?
They could’ve made a small series of “Nightlight Adventures” and the I would be happy 😔
You missed the Netflix series- but all in all amazing video!! Very funny comments
Another video of me learning there's more movies in this franchise besides the trilogy
There are more HTTYD movies than I remembered, uhhhh, I have a bit to rewatch
I'll have you know, I simped for Hiccup _before_ he got hot 😄
Wow this literally could not have been timed better. I’m in the middle of binging the shows right now!!
Your pronunciation of "dragon" gives my internal ears the same feeling as when someone is scratching their nails against a blackboard.
every person cries at “test drive”. every. person.
9:06
My boy Pouncer popping his head outta the chimney into the fireplace caught me so off guard I’m laughing so hard help
I can’t breathe
I remember when we first saw How to Train Your Dragon 2 my mom remarked that aged up Hiccup was kinda hot. She now denies that she ever said that 😂
A-specs when ignorants say "A stands for ally": 4:43
Also Kingdom Hearts in a nutshell: 7:06
My family listerally put on the snoggletog log one for like 3 christmases and i think that explains itself
I saw this vid come up, and audibly gasped, like really loud.
1. Great video 👍🏻
2. You should also do the TV shows
Also I love How to train your dragon ❤️
But, unpopular opinion; I don’t like the third film (specifically the ending) and I also don’t like anything that takes place past the third film as a result I don’t consider them Canon
I'm not fond (at all) of the third film, either, tbh. But the first two movies and the TV shows were killer.
Until the Nine Realms, but we do not speak of that.
hiccup and astrid were my bisexual awakening
Bitch same. My crush on Astrid started with the first film and my crush on Hiccup started with the second
Glad I’m not the only one noticed that Homecoming despite being good, retcons the 3rd movie’s ending.
THESE MOVIES RAISED ME.
astrid made me realize i like women 💔
:0
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I MISS THIS TRILOGY. THE ANIMATION, THE STORIES, THE BREAKING-MY-HEART-AND-SOUL-IN-HALF-EVERY-WATCH, WATCHING HICCUP GROW UP, WATCHING ASTRID GROW UP, WATCHING SNOTLAUT GROW UP, WATCHING ROUGHNUT AND ROUGHNUT GROW UP, WATCHING HICCUP FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS DRAGON, WATCHING ASTRID FALLING IN LOVE WITH HICCUP, WATCHING HICCUP FIND HIS MOM, CRYING WITH HIM WHEN HE LOSES HIS DAD, AND THEN SEEING IT ALL FALL APART, EMOTIONALLY HANDICAPPING ME FOR THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO!
What about the whole Netflix series Race to the Edge? It has a lot of info that relates to the second movie I think
