"I looked at him, and I saw myself." That's called *empathy*, people. Also, historically, Viking women absolutely fought alongside their men. One historian told me that the Vikings started leaving their women at home during raids because the women killed too many people and didn't leave them enough to bring back as slaves. Every cat owner HAS to love this movie, especially those of us who have miniature panthers (a.k.a. black cats). Btw, the animators based the Night Fury design on cats, which is why Toothless reminds you of your kitty. :)
Stinky because they also killed the kitties they brought with them on those voyages to kill mice on their ships, and used them as clothing in Egypt you could be put to death for harming a cat
When Toothless goes into protect/attack mode, I can feel the Cat Wrath. Check out the viral video from a few years ago of the cat who barrels into a much larger dog that is dragging her little human away! CAT WRATH
@@thecod2345 Yeah, I really admire that aspect of him as well, I do admit, the 3rd movie showed Toothless as not as strong of a character, all he did was worry about the Light Fury 😂 Luckily he must have grew out of it soon after, because he was fine after he left Hiccup
Those emotional moments between Stoik and Hiccup are underrated, among reactors, they often get overlooked in my opinion. That moment when Stoik almost fell after disowning Hiccup, and the expression of absolute shock/pain in his face of what just happened, is one of my favorites moments of this movie, right alongside when Stoik saves both Hiccup and Tothless just telling him that's he's proud to call him his son.
Right! While painful, it was one of my favorite moments. It’s one of the few times we see him be truly vulnerable. I always interpreted as a moment of regret, like, what he said just hit him, an “oh my gods, what have I done?”, and he didn’t mean it, but, he couldn’t take it back right then either, so, he presses forward. Yessss. When he tells him he’s proud to call him his son, I always choke up. I’ve always wanted my dad to tell me he’s proud of me or praise me at something, so, parents being proud of their children always gets to me.
Stoic is hands down one of my favorite animated characters. There are just so many layers in his story. In the first one we have these subtle moments, in the second we see his trauma, the reason why he fears the idea of "controlling dragons" and losing loved ones to them, not to mention his huge heart and what it meant to be a leader for him. In the third, during those flashbacks, we can also see his anctics with baby Hiccup and how he had caring moments with him, raising him on his own and passing down what he knew - which indeed helped Hiccup as an adult. Idk he's an amazing character and one of the foundations of why this franchise is amazingly touching.
I was just realizing that one of my favorite things about Hiccup's character is that when he started becoming popular, he didn't let it go to his head and become pompous. He was just the same guy. ^_^
In the tv series (Riders of Berk) it actually almost got to him, but he realized it and learned when Astrid talked him to it. It was a nice character development from him and it makes him more grounded.
@@knotforsail I'd like to think it most part canon and only a few not. Because most of it do explain a lot of things in the films and the characters, and especially the dragons.
That's the thing I love about finale's. That train of thought no longer applies. Every single character loses their plot armor. I was just a little nervous for Hiccup going into the third movie since because it was the end of the franchise, he didn't necessarily HAVE to survive like on the first and second ones along with the shows.
..when we watched it when it first came out...we didn't know there was a 2nd...we legit thought Hiccup could die...it was horrible...but it made it unforgettable too
@@dulminidharmapala1819 that was how I felt in third one at the end. I had made the conclusion going into the theater that because it was the end of the franchise, everyone's plot armor was gone, so literally anyone could die, which seriously heightened the shock when Hiccup almost sacrificed himself because I thought they were actually going to go there and kill him off to save Toothless
@@jneumy566 i saw it as it came out and while hiccup grew, i grew along him. The first movie he didn't have plot armour to me so the ending hit different.
Toothless only treats hiccup well when he realizes he isn’t a threat. And he only treats Astrid well and shows Stoic that Hiccup is okay after they say “I’m sorry”
I wonder if Toothless knows the meaning of sorry because Hiccup had said it before behind the scenes and understood the depth of the word. Or Toothless feels the sincerity of the apology behind them.
Toothless' hesitation before bowing his head for Hiccup to touch was a mistake in the editing process, but it was so perfect for the scene, that the team kept it.
Nice! Hiccup losing a leg was a complete joke among the animators at first until they actually gave it some thought, tested it out on a small audience, then decided to keep it!
I didn't know that! But in the scene where Hiccup finds Toothless shot down, their panning over him and as it passes over part of his wing his eye is suddenly open. That was also another mistake but it turned out to be pretty cool looking
The soundtrack carries a hefty amount of the movie. Several of the tracks I could easily listen on repeat for hours. Also: Anyone: "Dragons are not supposed to be cute!" Toothless: "Hold my mead."
@@ilyassebenana3824 you're correct, and it was a foreshadowing of Hiccups injury. The more you think about the plot points and sub textures of it, the better this movie gets. The writers considered everything.
It’s so frustrating, but he tells us right in the beginning that Vikings have stubbornness issues ;) Stoic the Vast being the chief of Vikings has to be the most stubborn of them all :)
What I really like about Hiccup losing a limb is that they make a point of it being a hard moment for him, but after this in every other movie its just a fact and he goes on to do amazing things regardless. It's just part of hiccup as a character and not the main thing about him as a person. I feel like that's such a nice and positive thing for children to see.
Someone explain to me why I cried all over again? I'm a 22yo and still cried over Stoick telling Hiccup he wasn't his son, Stoick saving Hiccup and Toothless, the moment Stoick thought Hiccup was dead and the moment he realizes Toothless saved him. WHY IS HTTYD SO GOOD?!
Gotta love how this movie has actual stakes and sets up stakes for the other movies. Thinking that Hiccup can't die because there are other movies is good and then you see he loses his leg. Now you know that characters can actually lose things it makes things much more intense unlike other shows or movies that the characters are pretty much invincible no matter what
YES I agree another good way to represent this is that in one episode of The Dragon Prince, (It's on Netflix) This character gets hit by the tail of a dragon and is thrown against a rock and you can literally hear his bones CRUNCH like a potato chip. He's temporarily paralyzed until his sister does some Dark magic and saves him :/ No biggie
Just so you can keep track of all of the different Dragon species Night Fury: the main black dragon that we all know and love to adore, ridden by Hiccup Deadly Nadder: the blue one that shoots spikes, ridden by Astrid Gronkle: the fat brown dragon with wings that flap like a hummingbird, ridden by Fishlegs Hideous Zippleback: the green dragon with two heads, ridden by Ruffnutt and Tuffnutt Monstrous Nightmare: the red dragon that sets itself on fire, ridden by Snotlout Terrible Terror: the tiny green and red dragons that stole Toothless's fish in that one scene Red Death: the mountain sized queen dragon with six eyes at the end And these were the voice actors Hiccup: Jay Baruchel Astrid: America Ferrera Fishlegs: Christopher Mintz-Plasse Ruffnutt: Kristen Wiig Tuffnutt: T.J. Miller Snotlout: Jonah Hill Stoick: Gerard Butler Gobber: Craig Ferguson
@@JVsGalacticAdventures One thing you didn't comment about, it's the music. What do you think of it ? As for suggestion, watch Inside Out. Edit: Also after the 3, watch How to train your dragon: Homecoming. It nicely wrap everything.
Anybody with a black cat is going to adore Toothless. So really, you didn't stand a chance ;) But yeah, I'm told the animator had a cat, and studied that to get the movements.
Also originally they were going to model Toothless more after a wolf (but still the midnight black colour, not a normal wolf colour) , but then someone saw one one of the animator's desktop screen , which was a black leopard and wen "yeah, that's probably better". Then as "research" used the lead animator's cat as a model or inspiration for the movements and expressions , and it shows because Toothless looks and sometimes moves like a cat , is loyal , caring and protective of his friends like a dog (also occasionally wags his tail like one too lol) , and is able to be ridden much like a horse.
@@PizzaHutCEO same here , I don't have a cat either nor do I really like them (apart from their look and interesting movements) but would not trust anyone who doesn't like Toothless
"There's part two and three, he can't die!" *me sucking in my breath in the theater when I first watched Hiccup drop into the flames and Toothless follow after him* XD
Great reaction, I like how you let yourself get caught up in the story. This is a wonderful story beautifully told and I love how they really take the time to establish Toothless as a character in his own right - we really get to know him. I’m so looking forward to your reaction to the second movie!
I love that you spotted the parallel between Hiccup losing his leg and Toothless’ tail! 💖 Also, Hiccup has a small scar on his chin and Toothless has a matching scar on his neck! 😁
How To Train Your Dragon isn't just one of the best animated films made, but one of the best films made- period!! Do love me an animated adventure, & this is my favorite, so good to see you react to it JV, and good to see a fellow grown up get as emotionally invested in the story as I did, to the point of shedding a tear even!!
I’m not more than half way through your reaction and I just needed to let you know how much I appreciate this reaction. You emerge yourself into the world of the video and really get engaged with notes and always trying to make connections!
I love that you don't edit your emotional responses. Great video! Already excited for the second one, you especially I have a feeling are gonna enjoy it.
In the book series (aimed at a much younger audience) the dragons do talk, and Hiccup's superpower is that he can speak dragon, rather than engineering. My love for this film is stronger (I shed some tears in the theater too), but I adore how much the author loved and hyped this film despite the very different world building, and how she introduced dragons large enough to ride in the books right after the film came out (her series was inspired by how different she and her father were, while still having a close, loving family. And summers on rocky Scottish islands 😁)
Glad to see someone who's been reading the books! Thanks for the nuggets on the author's inspiration! I started before the movie came out but have stopped halfway. Hope to find time to complete the series!
@@wangshiyao Hi! Yes, it's a sweet series overall, lovely to hear from someone else who has read it! Be warned that for a middle grade series it gets pretty dark toward the end (and you'll already have encountered some of the bodily-functions humor) but I did like them, and Cowell just seems like, such a kind, fun, and mischievous woman. 😀
@@McCammalot Aye I'll heed the warning. From where I stopped, the story did seem to foreshadow something ominous. I love her drawings in the books too! And the old paperback covers that credited her as the 'presenter' instead of the author (who was then hiccup himself) was a delightful touch of fun as well.
Even if the books are super different from the movies they're still awesome! By the way, Hiccup didn't have a special power. He simply knew the language of dragons. I believe anyone could've learned it if they tried.
I know, gosh what is wrong with some people these days! I’m going to be an engineer, love math, and am generally a very logical individual. And I still cry and laugh hysterically over this movie. I can be both logical and emotional. You’re right, this guy has heart, which I admire!
I didn't cry when I watched this movie, but I literally choked up when you started crying. I was like "Nooo don't cry" 😭😭😭 I've never wanted to give someone a hug so much in my life 🥺🥺🥺
i was so happy that you paid attention to the part where Stoick stumbles in shock at telling Hiccup he wasn't his son. so many other reactors gloss over that bit. it shows you that Stoick didn't actually mean it.
I love how every dragon has a different kind of fire, it´s not always the same effect but a different one per species also if you want to see more of Hiccup, Toothless and the gang I would recomend watching the TV/Netflix shows (Dragons: Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, Race to the Edge), they´re pretty enjoyable all around!
In case your are interested, it was stated that when Andy Bialk (the designer of the Dragons in the Movie) was designing the Dragons he based Toothless on the appearance of a Bat and his behaviour on his pet Cat, which was why he reminded you so much of a Cat
I loved seeing you take notes, haha - that's some dedication to immersing yourself in the world! I watch reactions to my favourite movies to see people's emotions, and yours made me appreciate this movie all over again. Thank you for that! If you enjoyed this one and Kung Fu Panda, I recommend Rise of the Guardians! It's another awesome, criminally underrated Dreamworks film, and one of my favourites.
The TV show race to the edge has some decent character development including the relationship development between Hiccup and Astrid. It takes place between the first and second movies
When Fishlegs lost control of the Gronckle (her name is Meatlug, btw), it was because he was bashing his shield. It was disorienting the queen (The Red Death), but it also disoriented Meatlug, so she lost control and crashed.
This is such a great trilogy. We all could use a Toothless in our lives. My other favorite DreamWorks movies are Shrek and Megamind; hope you'll check those out, too
So I saw this in 3D. After the queen dragon is destroyed, the ash that falls as Stoic looks for Hiccup felt like it was right in front of me and my parents. It added to the stillness of that moment. The best 3D moment in theaters for me!
toothless' behaviors are based on a lot of the animators cats, and the shape is based on the axolotl. the jet black is to camouflage with the night sky because night furies are nocturnal. the blast is acetylene and oxygen (plasma) and explodes on impact or after a couple seconds. the night fury also gets close enough to the speed of sound at top speed to cause its wings to whistle but doesnt actually break the sound barrier which is why theres no sonic boom
was my favorite movie as a kid. watching it now as a teen i realized how amazing the writing is, the soundtrack, the characters, everything! a masterpiece of a movie.
22:34 That cracked me up, I did not expect Seymour, I figured you'd remember "Northern lights" and it would continue and then that pops up out of nowhere, I lost it. This is the first video of yours I'm watching, I quite enjoyed it, you seem to notice and point out almost all of the important hints and story points as they appear, and you don't seem to miss things while talking.
Great reaction! I like how you noticed the nadder laughing at Snotlout. I didn't even know until you pointed it out! Also, Pls check out Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It's even more emotional and beautifully animated in 2D hand-drawn animation!
Fun fact: Toothess' eye opening when Hiccup finds him in the woods was apparently actually an animation error, it was meant to stay closed I think at that shot. But they thought the "error" was better than the initial plan and went with it.
My first time watching this was in 3D in an IMAX theater. With the curved screen & 3D, where I sat made it look like the ash falling in the final scenes was falling all around me. It was easily one of the best theater experiences, I've EVER had.
Actually i kinda understand why Stoick and the rest of the tribe was so angry. Everyone used to say or do thoughtless things when they were angry. It was not just about Hiccup lying, but also about refusing his own people. When he dropped his helmet and said he wasn’t one of them, he practically disowned himself and since he got the helmet from his mother, he offended her memory as well. He acted for good reason, but what he did with it betrayed all his people, their traditions and their history. I would also remind everyone that neither Stoick nor the other Vikings saw how Toothless andHiccup befriended and the dragons was forced to raid them. All they know is that the “unholy offspring of lightning and death itself” came out of nowhere and that he is dangerous, so they need to protect their peers. In their eyes, dragons are still cruel, killing machines that have attacked them for centuries, burned their homes, wounded and killed their loved ones. Just as Stoick’s wife, Valka, was kidnapped by a dragon next to her a couple of months old baby, or just asGobber' hands and feet were bitten and not so long ago they even wanted to kill Hiccup. All they knew throughout their lives was to kill or be killed, they had been raised for that since childhood.
LOVED this reaction! I adore reactors that aren't afraid to show their emotions, it's what really shows you're invested and enjoying the story! The little skit at the beginning was fun too :3 Can't wait to watch more of you!
This was such a wonderful honest reaction. I love seeing someone get so caught up and lost in a story that they're true emotions come out. So excited to see your other reactions to this beautiful series. Each one is so well done. Happily subscribed😊😊
How to train your dragon 1 unironically has some of the best written, paced, composed and choreographed scenes in the history of animation (which makes up the characters looking a bit derpy at times.) Jay Baruchel killed it as Hiccup. He encompassed that awkward puberty ridden teenage kid persona *without* making him seem too whiny or a POS, which isnt easy to do. His contrast to Gerard Butlers confident booming voice is flawless. Seeing hiccup grow throughout the film starting off as a weak, reclusive, insecure, underdog living in his father's shadow, and a civilization of meat-head vikings stuck in their ways. To a confident dragon trainer, (through at times force and other times volition), and learning to be strong in his *own* way, was very satisfying. Toothless design is genius, he draws elements from other well beloved characters like stitch in terms of cute playfulness while maintaining believability as a deadly dragon. The humor is very realistic and while child-friendly, never felt forced or outlandish. (Maybe with snotlout, but I actually know kids that acted like him so he gets a pass) Every dragon in the OG film is bursting with character and personality, the fact that the designers took the time to give each one truly unique abilities (like lighting themselves on fire, or a two headed dragon that sparks and ignites a flame) makes the film that much more interesting and makes the world feel real. To this day the final fight with the mother dragon is the most dynamic and striking of any animated film I've ever seen. The way the camera angle is shot in multiple scenes really makes you feel the weight of a mid-air battle, which is actually very hard to implement ( looking at you man of steel ) at times the camera gives you the perspective of toothless and then at times the perspective of the observers watching from the ground, watching the rays of light shine through the smog in suspense. This accompanied with the incredible soundtrack is enough to give me chills regardless of how many times I've seen it. (Sorry about the rant, I just really appreciate this film)
This movie is one of very few that above all, just makes me smile. The characters, the graphics, the quips. They're all amazing, and just puts this dumb grin on my face, bringing me right back to when I first saw this as a kid.
I love Kung Fu Panda, I really do... but How To Train Your Dragon is perfect in pretty much every way and beats it out by a (imo) small margin as the best Dreamworks movie. Although personally Kung Fu Panda 2 is my favorite Dreamworks movie, the HTTYD trilogy is arguably the best animated trilogy.
Toothless' drawing is an (admittedly very . . . abstract, lol) picture of Hiccup. It's diagonal instead of straight on - near the bottom left, you can see his mouth (seems open, like it's making an O shape), then a little up and to the right is his round nose, then up from that is his eyes, and all around is his hair.
You can really see what they took as inspiration for toothless. He clearly has a fighter jet look with the way the sound comes RIGHT before an attack, not loud, super fast, super agile. He also has a lot of cat like traits, even some doglike traits with how loyal he becomes in the later movies.
The whole cat/mixture of different animals is on point. The movie creators went on record once and said that they made Toothless to have mannerism that cat owners could see their cat in, and dog owners could see their dog in.
Okay, I know I'm late finding my way here, but something I absolutely LOVE about this film and this series is that there is almost nothing that is set up that isn't paid off later. Hiccup being good with inventing things and trying to replace Toothless' wing, the things he learns from bonding with Toothless help him in dragon training, "you just gestured to all of me", Hiccup seeing Toothless caught in his net says "I did this", which Stoic also says when he finds Toothless before revealing Hiccup is wrapped in his wings, "not so fireproof on the inside" comes into play in the final fight, the noise causing disorientation to the big dragon, but also the kids dragons. And the entire series is like this!? Brimming with all these tiny details that come together brilliantly. I'm so happy to see that I found this channel when the other two are already up. 😂
36:44 Not sure if you saw it but the holes that Toothless shot in the Queen dragon's wings were meant to tear open. When she realized the ground was coming up fast, she desperately opened her wings to brake and slow down. This only proceeded to allow the holes in her wings to expand from the rapid air current tearing through. Instead of slowing, she had no parachute in a sense. Thus. Crash landing.
My son who has Autism, adored Toothless when he was little. He has a Toothless plush that went literally everywhere with him. He is now 15. Toothless is the only toy from his childhood still in his bedroom, on a shelf. Pride of place.😊
4:16 hiccup can’t because when he try’s out his inventions, if they don’t work perfectly on the first go, then EVERYONE stops him from trying to improve it. I mean, the process of investing IS trial and error, but Berk sees it as destructive to try new things.
I love how you opened this❤ I just now thought about this (even though ive watched this movie alot) In the scene where Toothless is demanding an apology from Astrid, wouldnt alot of those flying positions be impossible without hiccups help? (Using the back tail) and we even see at the end (after she apologized) that the back fin pettled foot is atop Toothlesses head. I wonder how that worked?
Awesome reaction! I think HTTYD’s cool because there’s lots of different concepts and stuff happening within the storyline. Friendship is a HUGE part of the movies as well, how Hiccup and Toothless met and formed a strong friendship with each other…and the other two movies in the series illustrate the development of Hicctooth further. One of the best bromances you’ll ever find :)
As someone who grew up obsessed with this trilogy and watched it with my dog, this film is my sadness and my comfort. She just passed away from old age, but this movie will forever be my dog's movie to me ❤️
I love that you really went into the movie. The moment after Stoic disowned Hiccup, was one of the most emotional ones for me and it doesn't get nearly enough credit. AND YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO WATCH THE TV SERIES. The whole tv and film series is just a wonderful story of growing up and watching the tv show will allow you to fall in love with each of the characters more deeply and I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS!
JV, I found your channel after enjoying your reactions with Jane on your other channel, and this is one of my favorite movies, so it was so great to see you show so much emotion -- it's one of my favorite things about your reactions, and it is just so wonderful. Thank you for this -- it's a beautiful movie and so glad you loved it.
Toothless is very feline and that was done on purpose, when creating toothless the creators observed cats and I heard something about a cat with a cape? I think toothless is supposed to show how cats truely are, they’re actually pretty damn affectionate and fiercely protective of their family (just like toothless is with hiccup) and yes they have a crap-ton of attitude but when dogs have attitude people call it “personality”, double standards much? Anyway, I really enjoy your reactions and this is also one of my favourite animated movies (toothless is best cat-bat)
When stoic is finally proud of hiccup and turns around at the realization really resonates with me because it reminds me of when I tried to enlist like my dad (he wasn't around very much growing up) and I used to do drugs beforehand. I felt so great when he was proud of me, but I didn't give myself enough time for all of the drugs to clear out of my system, 3 months was how long I was clean at that point, so when my drug test came back and I was turned down I was so ashamed and my dad was so disappointed with me that he couldn't, and still doesn't believe that I put my all into enlisting. Our relationship has always been rough, but that one thing has put an even bigger wall between us than ever before. It hurts and we still haven't gotten past it, but I haven't given up on our relationship 4 years later because of how much I love and respect him. I want him to be proud of me but it hurts knowing that we still have that massive wall between us because of my mistake.
This one is one of my favorite movies! I get so hyped watching it 🌟 I just love it. I can't help but cry through the whole movie weather is happy cry or sad cry. Is so kinda inspirational? It gets you so hype. Top 5 favorite movies
My favorite movie of all time! Fun fact: For when you were saying toothless reminded you of your cat. When studying movement for toothless the artists in the studio actually got a cat and put a little harness with wings on it in order to sketch how it walked around with a wing span
Toothless was actually inspired mostly by cats and dogs. The cats are reflected in his appearance and dogs are reflected in his personality. Snakes were mostly used as inspiration for his scales.
Movies to react to: Krull, Ice Pirates, Buckaroo Banzai, Explorers, Condor Man, Enemy Mine, Short Circut, Flight of the Navigator, Star Man, Dreamscape, Innerspace, WarGames, Willow.
What you said about the queen eating the worker bees, the queen Dragon doesn't usually eat the workers in the httyd universe. But if they don't bring back enough food to satisfy her then she chooses which ones she's gonna eat as a sacrifice.
For the big dragon the Red Death as it's called in the films, the creature designers used a combination of different dinosaurs to model it; Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Brontosaurus, and Ankylosaurus.
That intro was superb, it is a close second to your intro to your Red Dawn. I say a strong 1 ; 2 punch here. I thought it was a baby dragon or something anything but your families Night Prowler (cat)
11:13 Shape theory: squares are sturdy or stubborn, triangles are power or danger, and circles are friendly. Watch as Toothless goes from all triangles and squares to circles. From his pupils, to his head angle, to his wings (oval around his body), to his stance, to his back. Remember this when you watch The Bad Guys, whenever Wolf gets that good feeling.
Hi! I'm new to your videos, this is the first one I've watched, but you're an awesome reacter and I have now subscribed. For suggestions, I have two... Sorry if you've already done them (I haven't checked), but here they are anyway: 1. Another great DreamWorks movie is "Rise of the Guardians" And 2. The actor who voices Hiccup is the protagonist in the Disney live action movie "Sorcerer's Apprentice" I absolutely love those movies, and since I enjoyed your reaction to "How to Train Your Dragon" so much, I look forward to seeing your reactions to these (and any other movies I like)! I wish you all the best, and have a great day/night!
Love your reaction! And actually not sure if it's intentional but I love the two scenes where Astrid apologizes and toothless calms down and at the end until the dad apologizes, he reveals that he saved his son , I like it!
That scene at the end when the lame boy and the lame dragon walk out together into the new, better world they inspired is one of the most meaningful scenes in movies for me.
The is a cartoon series that explains everything that happens in between the first and second movies. Including why dragons don’t like eels. Oh and the character development for the side crew is great.

"I looked at him, and I saw myself." That's called *empathy*, people. Also, historically, Viking women absolutely fought alongside their men. One historian told me that the Vikings started leaving their women at home during raids because the women killed too many people and didn't leave them enough to bring back as slaves.
Every cat owner HAS to love this movie, especially those of us who have miniature panthers (a.k.a. black cats). Btw, the animators based the Night Fury design on cats, which is why Toothless reminds you of your kitty. :)
Stinky because they also killed the kitties they brought with them on those voyages to kill mice on their ships, and used them as clothing
in Egypt you could be put to death for harming a cat
When Toothless goes into protect/attack mode, I can feel the Cat Wrath. Check out the viral video from a few years ago of the cat who barrels into a much larger dog that is dragging her little human away! CAT WRATH
They were spot on... empathy is one of the main things lacking in society these days. We can see it every single day...
@@thecod2345 Yeah, I really admire that aspect of him as well, I do admit, the 3rd movie showed Toothless as not as strong of a character, all he did was worry about the Light Fury 😂 Luckily he must have grew out of it soon after, because he was fine after he left Hiccup
@@DoiInthanon1897 it's one reason he needed to leave, to become a fully mature dragon. It's said that pets stay in a sort of perpetual childhood.
Those emotional moments between Stoik and Hiccup are underrated, among reactors, they often get overlooked in my opinion.
That moment when Stoik almost fell after disowning Hiccup, and the expression of absolute shock/pain in his face of what just happened, is one of my favorites moments of this movie, right alongside when Stoik saves both Hiccup and Tothless just telling him that's he's proud to call him his son.
Right! While painful, it was one of my favorite moments. It’s one of the few times we see him be truly vulnerable. I always interpreted as a moment of regret, like, what he said just hit him, an “oh my gods, what have I done?”, and he didn’t mean it, but, he couldn’t take it back right then either, so, he presses forward.
Yessss. When he tells him he’s proud to call him his son, I always choke up. I’ve always wanted my dad to tell me he’s proud of me or praise me at something, so, parents being proud of their children always gets to me.
Agreed! This movie is more of a father-son story. That’s what the team was going for.
Right! Those two scenes never fail to make me cry, & I’ve seen the movie hella times already haha
Stoic is hands down one of my favorite animated characters. There are just so many layers in his story. In the first one we have these subtle moments, in the second we see his trauma, the reason why he fears the idea of "controlling dragons" and losing loved ones to them, not to mention his huge heart and what it meant to be a leader for him. In the third, during those flashbacks, we can also see his anctics with baby Hiccup and how he had caring moments with him, raising him on his own and passing down what he knew - which indeed helped Hiccup as an adult. Idk he's an amazing character and one of the foundations of why this franchise is amazingly touching.
@@EeveeSoulSilver classic story of Dad not letting his son get a dog, but growing to love it 😂
I was just realizing that one of my favorite things about Hiccup's character is that when he started becoming popular, he didn't let it go to his head and become pompous. He was just the same guy. ^_^
One of my favourite things about Hiccup throughout the films and series.
Ikr wow
In the tv series (Riders of Berk) it actually almost got to him, but he realized it and learned when Astrid talked him to it. It was a nice character development from him and it makes him more grounded.
@@ganne_ I'm not so sure if the series is canon though
@@knotforsail I'd like to think it most part canon and only a few not. Because most of it do explain a lot of things in the films and the characters, and especially the dragons.
“There’s Part 2, and 3, he can’t die” lmao that got me
That's the thing I love about finale's. That train of thought no longer applies. Every single character loses their plot armor. I was just a little nervous for Hiccup going into the third movie since because it was the end of the franchise, he didn't necessarily HAVE to survive like on the first and second ones along with the shows.
..when we watched it when it first came out...we didn't know there was a 2nd...we legit thought Hiccup could die...it was horrible...but it made it unforgettable too
@@dulminidharmapala1819 that was how I felt in third one at the end. I had made the conclusion going into the theater that because it was the end of the franchise, everyone's plot armor was gone, so literally anyone could die, which seriously heightened the shock when Hiccup almost sacrificed himself because I thought they were actually going to go there and kill him off to save Toothless
@@jneumy566 i saw it as it came out and while hiccup grew, i grew along him. The first movie he didn't have plot armour to me so the ending hit different.
I don’t remember what I was thinking when I watched this in theaters, but the fact that he lost his leg was so memorable for me
Toothless only treats hiccup well when he realizes he isn’t a threat. And he only treats Astrid well and shows Stoic that Hiccup is okay after they say “I’m sorry”
Nice examination. I also like the “so why didn’t you” parallels
I wonder if Toothless knows the meaning of sorry because Hiccup had said it before behind the scenes and understood the depth of the word. Or Toothless feels the sincerity of the apology behind them.
Yep I realized that
@@jammm2113 Toothless clearly understands Viking, so it's not hard to presume it can understand what sorry means?
Tootless IS the Golden Rule.
Toothless' hesitation before bowing his head for Hiccup to touch was a mistake in the editing process, but it was so perfect for the scene, that the team kept it.
Nice! Hiccup losing a leg was a complete joke among the animators at first until they actually gave it some thought, tested it out on a small audience, then decided to keep it!
I didn't know that! But in the scene where Hiccup finds Toothless shot down, their panning over him and as it passes over part of his wing his eye is suddenly open. That was also another mistake but it turned out to be pretty cool looking
The soundtrack carries a hefty amount of the movie. Several of the tracks I could easily listen on repeat for hours.
Also:
Anyone: "Dragons are not supposed to be cute!"
Toothless: "Hold my mead."
John Powell does an amazing job with this movie's soundtrack, I completely agree!
LOL 😂 Take Smaug for example. Not cute is he?
Toothless? Um, yeah. I think we can all agree he’s about the cutest thing ever

That's so cool!
Technically, Hiccup AND Toothless both are.
@@darthvader5532 but toothless became disabled before Hiccup. So...
@@ilyassebenana3824 you're correct, and it was a foreshadowing of Hiccups injury.
The more you think about the plot points and sub textures of it, the better this movie gets. The writers considered everything.
It’s so frustrating, but he tells us right in the beginning that Vikings have stubbornness issues ;) Stoic the Vast being the chief of Vikings has to be the most stubborn of them all :)
I never noticed that. And I've seent this how many times?
Ikr i never noticed this
What I really like about Hiccup losing a limb is that they make a point of it being a hard moment for him, but after this in every other movie its just a fact and he goes on to do amazing things regardless. It's just part of hiccup as a character and not the main thing about him as a person. I feel like that's such a nice and positive thing for children to see.
Absolutely love it.
Someone explain to me why I cried all over again? I'm a 22yo and still cried over Stoick telling Hiccup he wasn't his son, Stoick saving Hiccup and Toothless, the moment Stoick thought Hiccup was dead and the moment he realizes Toothless saved him. WHY IS HTTYD SO GOOD?!
Hahaha me too! It's ok to cry when the movie is this good 👍🏾😊
I have no idea what, but I’m glad it is!

I'm 45 and it still gets me every time I see it.
Because it's THAT GOOD! LEGIT the perfect trilogy
Dragon: (looks with murderous intent)
JV: "Reminds me of my cat"
😂🤣🤣🤣
Cats will always, ALWAYS. Go. For. The. Kill.
Gotta love how this movie has actual stakes and sets up stakes for the other movies. Thinking that Hiccup can't die because there are other movies is good and then you see he loses his leg. Now you know that characters can actually lose things it makes things much more intense unlike other shows or movies that the characters are pretty much invincible no matter what
Every movie, Hiccup loses something of importance to him.
@@ChasehaWing His limb, his dad, his dragon.
@@electricarc6377 Wow, I actually never thought of that, dang.
YES I agree another good way to represent this is that in one episode of The Dragon Prince, (It's on Netflix) This character gets hit by the tail of a dragon and is thrown against a rock and you can literally hear his bones CRUNCH like a potato chip.
He's temporarily paralyzed until his sister does some Dark magic and saves him :/
No biggie
Exactly! Crack the plot armor! No one is untouchable.
Just so you can keep track of all of the different Dragon species
Night Fury: the main black dragon that we all know and love to adore, ridden by Hiccup
Deadly Nadder: the blue one that shoots spikes, ridden by Astrid
Gronkle: the fat brown dragon with wings that flap like a hummingbird, ridden by Fishlegs
Hideous Zippleback: the green dragon with two heads, ridden by Ruffnutt and Tuffnutt
Monstrous Nightmare: the red dragon that sets itself on fire, ridden by Snotlout
Terrible Terror: the tiny green and red dragons that stole Toothless's fish in that one scene
Red Death: the mountain sized queen dragon with six eyes at the end
And these were the voice actors
Hiccup: Jay Baruchel
Astrid: America Ferrera
Fishlegs: Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Ruffnutt: Kristen Wiig

Thanks for this. I'll add it to my notes 👍🏾
@@JVsGalacticAdventures One thing you didn't comment about, it's the music.
What do you think of it ?
As for suggestion, watch Inside Out.
Edit: Also after the 3, watch How to train your dragon: Homecoming.
It nicely wrap everything.
Now that you've said that, I recognize Gerards voice.... omg, how did i not see that? lol.
Anybody with a black cat is going to adore Toothless. So really, you didn't stand a chance ;)
But yeah, I'm told the animator had a cat, and studied that to get the movements.
Also originally they were going to model Toothless more after a wolf (but still the midnight black colour, not a normal wolf colour) , but then someone saw one one of the animator's desktop screen , which was a black leopard and wen "yeah, that's probably better". Then as "research" used the lead animator's cat as a model or inspiration for the movements and expressions , and it shows because Toothless looks and sometimes moves like a cat , is loyal , caring and protective of his friends like a dog (also occasionally wags his tail like one too lol) , and is able to be ridden much like a horse.
You’re correct. Gabe Hordos was the supervising animator on Toothless. He studied the behavior of his cat which he then used for Toothless.
I’m going to be honest, I don’t have a cat of any sort, and I wouldn’t trust *anyone* who doesn’t adore Toothless.
@@PizzaHutCEO same here , I don't have a cat either nor do I really like them (apart from their look and interesting movements) but would not trust anyone who doesn't like Toothless

Great reaction, I like how you let yourself get caught up in the story. This is a wonderful story beautifully told and I love how they really take the time to establish Toothless as a character in his own right - we really get to know him. I’m so looking forward to your reaction to the second movie!
Thanks Laura! I had such a great time watching this. The second one is so good as well! It's out on my Patreon if you want to see it early 😊
Yes, I totally agree. Great movie series ❤️
I love that you spotted the parallel between Hiccup losing his leg and Toothless’ tail! 💖 Also, Hiccup has a small scar on his chin and Toothless has a matching scar on his neck! 😁
How To Train Your Dragon isn't just one of the best animated films made, but one of the best films made- period!!
Do love me an animated adventure, & this is my favorite, so good to see you react to it JV, and good to see a fellow grown up get as emotionally invested in the story as I did, to the point of shedding a tear even!!
I’m not more than half way through your reaction and I just needed to let you know how much I appreciate this reaction. You emerge yourself into the world of the video and really get engaged with notes and always trying to make connections!
Wow! Thank you so much. I really try to get fully immersed in the story. You're the only one that noticed that! Appreciate you
I love that you don't edit your emotional responses. Great video! Already excited for the second one, you especially I have a feeling are gonna enjoy it.
I let my emotions get the best of me in this reaction lol. I'm happy you enjoyed it 😊
In the book series (aimed at a much younger audience) the dragons do talk, and Hiccup's superpower is that he can speak dragon, rather than engineering. My love for this film is stronger (I shed some tears in the theater too), but I adore how much the author loved and hyped this film despite the very different world building, and how she introduced dragons large enough to ride in the books right after the film came out (her series was inspired by how different she and her father were, while still having a close, loving family. And summers on rocky Scottish islands 😁)
Glad to see someone who's been reading the books! Thanks for the nuggets on the author's inspiration! I started before the movie came out but have stopped halfway. Hope to find time to complete the series!
@@wangshiyao Hi! Yes, it's a sweet series overall, lovely to hear from someone else who has read it! Be warned that for a middle grade series it gets pretty dark toward the end (and you'll already have encountered some of the bodily-functions humor) but I did like them, and Cowell just seems like, such a kind, fun, and mischievous woman. 😀
@@wangshiyao (confession: I own them all but chickened out of reading the last one and need to get back into it!)
@@McCammalot Aye I'll heed the warning. From where I stopped, the story did seem to foreshadow something ominous.
I love her drawings in the books too! And the old paperback covers that credited her as the 'presenter' instead of the author (who was then hiccup himself) was a delightful touch of fun as well.
Even if the books are super different from the movies they're still awesome! By the way, Hiccup didn't have a special power. He simply knew the language of dragons. I believe anyone could've learned it if they tried.
I cry every time I watch this movie. 😭 It's one of my favorites! So glad you watched it and liked it.
I loved it. The second one is amazing as well 😊😭

I didn't cry when I watched this movie, but I literally choked up when you started crying. I was like "Nooo don't cry" 😭😭😭
I've never wanted to give someone a hug so much in my life 🥺🥺🥺
i was so happy that you paid attention to the part where Stoick stumbles in shock at telling Hiccup he wasn't his son. so many other reactors gloss over that bit. it shows you that Stoick didn't actually mean it.
To me it had always meant that as much as it hurt Hiccup to hear it hurt his dad more to say
I love how every dragon has a different kind of fire, it´s not always the same effect but a different one per species
also if you want to see more of Hiccup, Toothless and the gang I would recomend watching the TV/Netflix shows (Dragons: Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, Race to the Edge), they´re pretty enjoyable all around!
In case your are interested, it was stated that when Andy Bialk (the designer of the Dragons in the Movie) was designing the Dragons he based Toothless on the appearance of a Bat and his behaviour on his pet Cat, which was why he reminded you so much of a Cat
Fun fact: T.J. Miller (the voice of Tuffnut) is the same guy that plays the bartender from the Deadpool movies.
I loved seeing you take notes, haha - that's some dedication to immersing yourself in the world! I watch reactions to my favourite movies to see people's emotions, and yours made me appreciate this movie all over again. Thank you for that!
If you enjoyed this one and Kung Fu Panda, I recommend Rise of the Guardians! It's another awesome, criminally underrated Dreamworks film, and one of my favourites.
Can't wait to see him cry even harder in the next two
The TV show race to the edge has some decent character development including the relationship development between Hiccup and Astrid. It takes place between the first and second movies
The score in these movies are so phenomenal, definitely a top tier trilogy and reaction👍
When Fishlegs lost control of the Gronckle (her name is Meatlug, btw), it was because he was bashing his shield. It was disorienting the queen (The Red Death), but it also disoriented Meatlug, so she lost control and crashed.
This is such a great trilogy. We all could use a Toothless in our lives. My other favorite DreamWorks movies are Shrek and Megamind; hope you'll check those out, too
Megamind is such an underrated movie! It's so good!!
I'm watching Megamind tomorrow morning! It will be out on Patreon around noon 👍🏾 can't wait!
So I saw this in 3D. After the queen dragon is destroyed, the ash that falls as Stoic looks for Hiccup felt like it was right in front of me and my parents. It added to the stillness of that moment. The best 3D moment in theaters for me!
toothless' behaviors are based on a lot of the animators cats, and the shape is based on the axolotl. the jet black is to camouflage with the night sky because night furies are nocturnal. the blast is acetylene and oxygen (plasma) and explodes on impact or after a couple seconds. the night fury also gets close enough to the speed of sound at top speed to cause its wings to whistle but doesnt actually break the sound barrier which is why theres no sonic boom
We found the dragon nerd 😁👍
He is also inspired by a bat because of hanging upside down.
I didn’t know Toothless was a learned scholar on top of his other professions. This dragon is one of the smartest you’ll have even seen folks
was my favorite movie as a kid. watching it now as a teen i realized how amazing the writing is, the soundtrack, the characters, everything! a masterpiece of a movie.
22:34 That cracked me up, I did not expect Seymour, I figured you'd remember "Northern lights" and it would continue and then that pops up out of nowhere, I lost it.
This is the first video of yours I'm watching, I quite enjoyed it, you seem to notice and point out almost all of the important hints and story points as they appear, and you don't seem to miss things while talking.
I think you're the first person to comment on that! lol😀
Thank you!
Great reaction! I like how you noticed the nadder laughing at Snotlout. I didn't even know until you pointed it out!
Also, Pls check out Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. It's even more emotional and beautifully animated in 2D hand-drawn animation!
Fun fact: Toothess' eye opening when Hiccup finds him in the woods was apparently actually an animation error, it was meant to stay closed I think at that shot. But they thought the "error" was better than the initial plan and went with it.
My first time watching this was in 3D in an IMAX theater. With the curved screen & 3D, where I sat made it look like the ash falling in the final scenes was falling all around me. It was easily one of the best theater experiences, I've EVER had.
That opening edit was super cute!!
Thanks 😊
Actually i kinda understand why Stoick and the rest of the tribe was so angry. Everyone used to say or do thoughtless things when they were angry. It was not just about Hiccup lying, but also about refusing his own people. When he dropped his helmet and said he wasn’t one of them, he practically disowned himself and since he got the helmet from his mother, he offended her memory as well. He acted for good reason, but what he did with it betrayed all his people, their traditions and their history. I would also remind everyone that neither Stoick nor the other Vikings saw how Toothless andHiccup befriended and the dragons was forced to raid them. All they know is that the “unholy offspring of lightning and death itself” came out of nowhere and that he is dangerous, so they need to protect their peers. In their eyes, dragons are still cruel, killing machines that have attacked them for centuries, burned their homes, wounded and killed their loved ones. Just as Stoick’s wife, Valka, was kidnapped by a dragon next to her a couple of months old baby, or just asGobber' hands and feet were bitten and not so long ago they even wanted to kill Hiccup. All they knew throughout their lives was to kill or be killed, they had been raised for that since childhood.
LOVED this reaction! I adore reactors that aren't afraid to show their emotions, it's what really shows you're invested and enjoying the story! The little skit at the beginning was fun too :3 Can't wait to watch more of you!
This was such a wonderful honest reaction. I love seeing someone get so caught up and lost in a story that they're true emotions come out. So excited to see your other reactions to this beautiful series. Each one is so well done. Happily subscribed😊😊
How to train your dragon 1 unironically has some of the best written, paced, composed and choreographed scenes in the history of animation (which makes up the characters looking a bit derpy at times.)
Jay Baruchel killed it as Hiccup. He encompassed that awkward puberty ridden teenage kid persona *without* making him seem too whiny or a POS, which isnt easy to do. His contrast to Gerard Butlers confident booming voice is flawless.
Seeing hiccup grow throughout the film starting off as a weak, reclusive, insecure, underdog living in his father's shadow, and a civilization of meat-head vikings stuck in their ways. To a confident dragon trainer, (through at times force and other times volition), and learning to be strong in his *own* way, was very satisfying.
Toothless design is genius, he draws elements from other well beloved characters like stitch in terms of cute playfulness while maintaining believability as a deadly dragon.
The humor is very realistic and while child-friendly, never felt forced or outlandish. (Maybe with snotlout, but I actually know kids that acted like him so he gets a pass)
Every dragon in the OG film is bursting with character and personality, the fact that the designers took the time to give each one truly unique abilities (like lighting themselves on fire, or a two headed dragon that sparks and ignites a flame) makes the film that much more interesting and makes the world feel real.
To this day the final fight with the mother dragon is the most dynamic and striking of any animated film I've ever seen.
The way the camera angle is shot in multiple scenes really makes you feel the weight of a mid-air battle, which is actually very hard to implement ( looking at you man of steel ) at times the camera gives you the perspective of toothless and then at times the perspective of the observers watching from the ground, watching the rays of light shine through the smog in suspense. This accompanied with the incredible soundtrack is enough to give me chills regardless of how many times I've seen it.
(Sorry about the rant, I just really appreciate this film)
This movie is one of very few that above all, just makes me smile. The characters, the graphics, the quips. They're all amazing, and just puts this dumb grin on my face, bringing me right back to when I first saw this as a kid.
I love Kung Fu Panda, I really do... but How To Train Your Dragon is perfect in pretty much every way and beats it out by a (imo) small margin as the best Dreamworks movie. Although personally Kung Fu Panda 2 is my favorite Dreamworks movie, the HTTYD trilogy is arguably the best animated trilogy.
That soundtrack named "Test Drive" is truly one of my favourite soundtracks ever.
I have seen this movie SO many times, and I still get teary and goosebump-y every time I see it!
Toothless' drawing is an (admittedly very . . . abstract, lol) picture of Hiccup. It's diagonal instead of straight on - near the bottom left, you can see his mouth (seems open, like it's making an O shape), then a little up and to the right is his round nose, then up from that is his eyes, and all around is his hair.
You can really see what they took as inspiration for toothless. He clearly has a fighter jet look with the way the sound comes RIGHT before an attack, not loud, super fast, super agile. He also has a lot of cat like traits, even some doglike traits with how loyal he becomes in the later movies.
The whole cat/mixture of different animals is on point. The movie creators went on record once and said that they made Toothless to have mannerism that cat owners could see their cat in, and dog owners could see their dog in.
This is my favorite trilogy, and my whole childhood. Hope you love it, and waiting for more reactions to this trilogy from you)
Okay, I know I'm late finding my way here, but something I absolutely LOVE about this film and this series is that there is almost nothing that is set up that isn't paid off later.
Hiccup being good with inventing things and trying to replace Toothless' wing, the things he learns from bonding with Toothless help him in dragon training, "you just gestured to all of me", Hiccup seeing Toothless caught in his net says "I did this", which Stoic also says when he finds Toothless before revealing Hiccup is wrapped in his wings, "not so fireproof on the inside" comes into play in the final fight, the noise causing disorientation to the big dragon, but also the kids dragons. And the entire series is like this!? Brimming with all these tiny details that come together brilliantly.
I'm so happy to see that I found this channel when the other two are already up. 😂
36:44 Not sure if you saw it but the holes that Toothless shot in the Queen dragon's wings were meant to tear open. When she realized the ground was coming up fast, she desperately opened her wings to brake and slow down. This only proceeded to allow the holes in her wings to expand from the rapid air current tearing through. Instead of slowing, she had no parachute in a sense. Thus. Crash landing.
Otherwise known as an atomic bomb
My son who has Autism, adored Toothless when he was little. He has a Toothless plush that went literally everywhere with him.
He is now 15. Toothless is the only toy from his childhood still in his bedroom, on a shelf. Pride of place.😊
4:16 hiccup can’t because when he try’s out his inventions, if they don’t work perfectly on the first go, then EVERYONE stops him from trying to improve it. I mean, the process of investing IS trial and error, but Berk sees it as destructive to try new things.
I 100% love this movie and your reaction on it was amazing, awesome and heartwarming! I'm so happy I found your channel! Thank you for that! Спасибо!
Omg thank you! Your nice comments and support mean everything 😊
I love how you opened this❤
I just now thought about this (even though ive watched this movie alot)
In the scene where Toothless is demanding an apology from Astrid, wouldnt alot of those flying positions be impossible without hiccups help? (Using the back tail) and we even see at the end (after she apologized) that the back fin pettled foot is atop Toothlesses head. I wonder how that worked?
Awesome reaction! I think HTTYD’s cool because there’s lots of different concepts and stuff happening within the storyline. Friendship is a HUGE part of the movies as well, how Hiccup and Toothless met and formed a strong friendship with each other…and the other two movies in the series illustrate the development of Hicctooth further. One of the best bromances you’ll ever find :)
"Thank you for nothing,you useless reptile" best line in the movie
Every movie in this sequel just makes me cry more than the last one LMAO
As someone who grew up obsessed with this trilogy and watched it with my dog, this film is my sadness and my comfort. She just passed away from old age, but this movie will forever be my dog's movie to me ❤️

i'm getting teary eyes, glad i was not the only one
I love that you really went into the movie. The moment after Stoic disowned Hiccup, was one of the most emotional ones for me and it doesn't get nearly enough credit. AND YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO WATCH THE TV SERIES. The whole tv and film series is just a wonderful story of growing up and watching the tv show will allow you to fall in love with each of the characters more deeply and I promise you, YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS!
JV, I found your channel after enjoying your reactions with Jane on your other channel, and this is one of my favorite movies, so it was so great to see you show so much emotion -- it's one of my favorite things about your reactions, and it is just so wonderful. Thank you for this -- it's a beautiful movie and so glad you loved it.
Wow, thank you!
@@JVsGalacticAdventures You deserved it! :)
I love how whenever Hiccup “says I’m a Viking! “ the reciters always just say no or nod
Toothless is very feline and that was done on purpose, when creating toothless the creators observed cats and I heard something about a cat with a cape? I think toothless is supposed to show how cats truely are, they’re actually pretty damn affectionate and fiercely protective of their family (just like toothless is with hiccup) and yes they have a crap-ton of attitude but when dogs have attitude people call it “personality”, double standards much?
Anyway, I really enjoy your reactions and this is also one of my favourite animated movies (toothless is best cat-bat)
When stoic is finally proud of hiccup and turns around at the realization really resonates with me because it reminds me of when I tried to enlist like my dad (he wasn't around very much growing up) and I used to do drugs beforehand. I felt so great when he was proud of me, but I didn't give myself enough time for all of the drugs to clear out of my system, 3 months was how long I was clean at that point, so when my drug test came back and I was turned down I was so ashamed and my dad was so disappointed with me that he couldn't, and still doesn't believe that I put my all into enlisting. Our relationship has always been rough, but that one thing has put an even bigger wall between us than ever before. It hurts and we still haven't gotten past it, but I haven't given up on our relationship 4 years later because of how much I love and respect him. I want him to be proud of me but it hurts knowing that we still have that massive wall between us because of my mistake.
I really hope you can fix things with your dad still
I'll never get over the biggest burn his dad gave him "Odin it was rough I almost gave up on you!" 😂
I love how your cat, your BLACK cat, shows up in the background XD
Such a good film.
I haven't seen the third one yet, but saw some of the show.
I finally did a few months ago. It’s actually not that funny but gets better near the end. Until the sad part at the end. HTTYD’s great 😊
This one is one of my favorite movies! I get so hyped watching it 🌟 I just love it. I can't help but cry through the whole movie weather is happy cry or sad cry. Is so kinda inspirational? It gets you so hype. Top 5 favorite movies
I love this movie too!
My favorite movie of all time!
Fun fact: For when you were saying toothless reminded you of your cat. When studying movement for toothless the artists in the studio actually got a cat and put a little harness with wings on it in order to sketch how it walked around with a wing span
Toothless was actually inspired mostly by cats and dogs. The cats are reflected in his appearance and dogs are reflected in his personality. Snakes were mostly used as inspiration for his scales.
Movies to react to: Krull, Ice Pirates, Buckaroo Banzai, Explorers, Condor Man, Enemy Mine, Short Circut, Flight of the Navigator, Star Man, Dreamscape, Innerspace, WarGames, Willow.
How to train your dragon is my favorite movie, movie series, and book series, and it’s great to see someone talking about how much they love it.
What you said about the queen eating the worker bees, the queen Dragon doesn't usually eat the workers in the httyd universe. But if they don't bring back enough food to satisfy her then she chooses which ones she's gonna eat as a sacrifice.
I am really loving this channel, and the reaction are pure gold
For the big dragon the Red Death as it's called in the films, the creature designers used a combination of different dinosaurs to model it; Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, Brontosaurus, and Ankylosaurus.
I have watched this more then any and all other movies and I still can’t get over how perfect it is!
That intro was superb, it is a close second to your intro to your Red Dawn. I say a strong 1 ; 2 punch here. I thought it was a baby dragon or something anything but your families Night Prowler (cat)
11:13 Shape theory: squares are sturdy or stubborn, triangles are power or danger, and circles are friendly.
Watch as Toothless goes from all triangles and squares to circles. From his pupils, to his head angle, to his wings (oval around his body), to his stance, to his back.
Remember this when you watch The Bad Guys, whenever Wolf gets that good feeling.
I admire that you have no shame in shedding some tears. 👍🏻God bless you.

For suggestions, I have two... Sorry if you've already done them (I haven't checked), but here they are anyway:
1. Another great DreamWorks movie is "Rise of the Guardians"
And 2. The actor who voices Hiccup is the protagonist in the Disney live action movie "Sorcerer's Apprentice"
I absolutely love those movies, and since I enjoyed your reaction to "How to Train Your Dragon" so much, I look forward to seeing your reactions to these (and any other movies I like)!
I wish you all the best, and have a great day/night!
These are my favorite animated movies! Great reaction!
Oh yeah, How To Train Your Dragon is a gorgeous film. Over 10 years later and it still shines.
Love your reaction! And actually not sure if it's intentional but I love the two scenes where Astrid apologizes and toothless calms down and at the end until the dad apologizes, he reveals that he saved his son , I like it!
That scene at the end when the lame boy and the lame dragon walk out together into the new, better world they inspired is one of the most meaningful scenes in movies for me.
Love youre level of empathy man. i look forward to watching the next 2 movies with you. they're fun ones. c:
I just found your reaction and I want to say that I enjoyed it very much. Thank you!
That movie broke me too, and the two others broke me even more.
The is a cartoon series that explains everything that happens in between the first and second movies. Including why dragons don’t like eels. Oh and the character development for the side crew is great.
