Ok, so I am a new viewer so I don't know if your guys to this or not, but httyd doesn't just have the 3 movies. Infact most of the trilogy is in other things, the list is: 1. How To Train Your Dragon 2. Legend of the boneknapper (short film) 3. Gift of the nightfury (short film) 4. Riders of berk (20 episode animated series) 5. Defenders of berk (another 20 episode series) 6. Dragon racing (short film) 7. race to the edge seasons 1-6 (each with 13 episodes) 8. How To Train Your Dragon 2 9. How To Train Your Dragon The Hidden World 10. Httyd Homecoming (final short film) Again I don't know if you guys will react or not but I wanted to point out because watching all of this really gives you to full picture about httyd, especially Hiccup and Astrid's relationship and how it progressed. Even if you don't react I would suggest watching all these, the rest is up to you
I can't wait to say that line when I see my Late Wife again. Married for thirty years and still the only woman I've ever kissed . She Passed in 2009 from Pancreatic Cancer.
A few details to hate/enjoy: - Valka and Astrid are the only 2 characters seen running on dragons mid-air - the stick Drago uses is based on a tool used for elephant taming. It is used to abuse them while they are young so they stay scared of it. This is likely how Drago manages to indimidate such a massive dragon. - When Stoic and Valka are together during the battle, the soundtrack is their love song. - During the race in the end, Hiccup catches the black sheep before Astrid does, but he puts it in her basket.
maybe because Astrid is athletic and nimble and Valka has lived with the dragon for so long she knows how each and every one of them move plus she's the OG dragon tamer, those overgrown cuties trust her and vice versa
Another one I just realized watching this for the millionth time that idk how I missed is Drago’s disability mirrors the Alpha just like toothless and Hiccup. Drago lost his left arm, the alpha loses its left Tusk.
"May the Valkyries welcome you and lead you through Odin's great battlefield; May they sing your name with love and fury, so that we might hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla; And know that you've taken your rightful place at the table of kings; For a great man has fallen, a warrior, a chieftain, a father, a friend." Gobber's eulogy always gets me teary-eyed. Such a heartfelt and touching send off.
The part about it that is insane is that «This is Berk» from the first movie has all the themes for every character except Toothless as he is the only character not shown (you see his silhouette but not him). All the other themes for the rest of the characters are played at some point or another in that opening scene.
Guillermo del toro said "Animation is not a genre for kids. It's a medium for art, it's a medium for film. and i love that saying wish more people would give animated movies and series a chance there's just so much more room for creativity. can't wait for you guys to react to more animated movies/series.
Their reunion is so human, i love it. She feels guilty ( rightfully ) for not even trying to reconnect with her husband, people and first and foremost infant son. She wants to be justified in her feelings because of the sudden confrontation she avoided for years. And then there is that big hairy ignorant fool of a man, unable to do anything like that. He just sees the love of his live which he thougt lost forever. Im sure he feels some form of confusion and even anger, but its all burried under the pure love he feels for her. That scene is really perfectly written, animated and voice acted.
That scene is one of the many that make me cry in this series. Stoick’s love for Valka has taken root so deep that if he were to uproot it he’d pull his own heart with it. It’s such a brilliant scene.
@@JustCauseFan guilt and fear make people act irrationally. She made a mistake and distracted herself by doing something good and necessary, which is taking care of the dragons. That's why I like her character so much. She's flawed. So is Stoick, even Hiccup. Believable well written characters.
At the begining when toothless and Hiccups fly together, he trhow fire balls not for an obstzcle course but to create hot air to let hiccups going up and still fly. I love thos kind of detail. They really love animation and even in a world of drzgon the little things are really cool to find. Cant wait dor you to see the 3rd one.
I always appreciate when animated movies don't always go for the "The villain can be reasoned with" trope. It's important for kids to understand that not everyone can be reasoned with and that peace isn't always an option. Like Alfred said, some men just wanna watch the world burn.
Yup, the line "Men who kill without reason, cannot be reasoned with" really should have gotten more attention in the narrative. Hiccup was too naive to realize and accept that Stoick had PERSONALLY witnessed Drago MURDER the other clan chiefs; had he taken the time to think from his father's point of view, he would have realized that Drago was already a war criminal and needed to be treated as such.
I actually never watched these movies before until you guys did a reaction on the first movie. I can see why people love these movies, especially the soundtrack!
It’s so beautiful and mature that a kids animated movie not only lets their main character grow up, but also being disabled. Their disabilities bringing them closer together is just so heartwarming
Yes, my absolute favorite from the trilogy. The devastating and emotional rollercoster in this one breaks my heart everytime but it's sooooo worth it. The hero path that Hiccup has to overcome is beautiful and the all the topics about friendship, family, selfvalue and the place that each of us has in the wolrd... Absolute cheff kiss. Also the animation and score? The best in the three movies, in my opinion. Dreamworks put all the love and pasion in this one.
Completely agree with everything, the emotional maturity and depth in this was so beautiful! It's so easy to fall in love with the world and the characters, and we're loving every moment we get to spend with them!
I love how Toothless breaking the Alpha's tusk is an act of mercy. His mouth was wide open: he could have fired a blast in it and killed him like he did the Red Death in the first movie, but he actively spares him: but leaves him with a permanent mark and reminder to never mess with Toothless or his friends, ever again.
Not really sure if that same trick would work since this alpha fires icy breath compared to Red Death where toothless ignited the gas it was charging and it gets compressed when it hit the ground
I love this trilogy, but the second one has a special place in my heart. Stoic was an incredible Chieftain, husband, and father. And to have his son's best friend kill him is the most tragic and dark thing to do. Sometimes, evil just can't be changed.
I always grew up with the first movie as a kid. So you can imagine what it felt like for me to watch this movie and see Hiccup all grown up, Toothless being controlled and Stoick's death. It felt like my childhood got a whole slap in the face.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was a little kid.. It definitely left scars but good ones. The music and story even the fact that a WHOLE series plays up to this movie and completes this movie is absolutely amazing. My favorite movie. Love Drago as a villian but no one beats Viggo grimborn from the riders of Berg series. That dude was ALWAYS one step ahead.
The thing about drago is that the weapon he wields is called a bull hook. Essentially it was used by people to “”train”” elephants and not the good type of train. They’d do this when the elephant was younger and once it grew up it would still be afraid of it. Presumably since Drago raised his bewildrbeast from birth he used the same method. Edit didn’t see the other comment sorry
YESS!!! God dammit, i love these movies so much!! 😂 Welcome to the dragonverse you two!! Hopefully, the next animated film series you guys tackle is the incredibles. I wanna see your guys reaction to those two!!
It’s crazy how good the story is in these kids movies. And the music literally brings you to tears in the emotional moments. Love these movies so much! Many get worse the more they make but this trilogy was beyond good!
You guys should watch rider’s of Berk. It’s the series in between the first two movies. Adds a lot of context and there’s so much story in between those five years
“Ruffnut? Didn’t she try to bury you alive!?” “Only for a few hours.” Yup…she actually did…in the race to the edge episode “badmoon rising” Snotlout thinking it was hilarious convinced tuffnut that he was turning into a mythical dragon after tuffnut got bit by a wolf. So ruffnut took it super personally and started forcing snotlout to take bites from numerous animals and dragons in order to find a match to tuffnut’s bite in order to convince her brother that it wasn’t some mythical beast of legend that he was slowly turning into. You guys really should check out the series.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsalso you guys could see in the dragon racing scene when snotlout smiles he doesn't have some of his teeth. It's because in one episode of race to the edge series (zippleback experience) hiccup punch snotlout so hard he lose three teeth.
Oh man, I’m so excited for this one, one of the best animated trilogies ever, you good have amazing reactions and I’m excited for this one! You’ll love it and the next one!!
There's so much amazing things in this movie but Gobber's speech always hits so hard, it elevates Stoick with the way he talks about the great Chief received in Valhalla and then it brings him close speaking of him as a friend, it's so painful and beautifull, man I love this trilogy 🥹
"youre as beautiful as the day i lost you" ... probably the best scene ever in any western animated movie ever... (western! anime movies is just on a different level)
I grew up with these movies and they have a special place in my heart. Honestly my favourite animated trilogy of all time. This film is my favourite in particular. I’m so glad to see you guys react to it
This movie is phenomenal. But everytime i rewatch this, i go back to when Hiccup met his mom, learning about her life and the joy of spending time with her. And then seeing the reunion of his parents. Hiccup's joy at seeing his parents being in love with each other... it's heartwarming.
This movie will forever have a special place in mine heart. My favorite of the trilogy. Valka and Stoic’s scenes are perfection. His funeral, so heartfelt. You guys put out another great reaction. ❤
DreamWorks is truly such a good movie production company. Djimon Honsou did a great job with his voice over acting in this one as Draco. This film is such an emotional rollercoaster... from Hiccup finding his mother, to his father and mother reuniting, to losing his father. I think that this film may be better than the first. Not many films do that. Awesome reaction! ❤
I hope you guys are ready for the final film!! How to Train Your Dragon trilogy is such a masterpiece I've lost count how many times I've rewatched the films
Let me tell you how John Powell made some of the scores for the HTTYD franchise. At the beginning of the first movie, we are literally introduced to the main themes of the entire franchise. The theme of the Vikings, the theme of Hiccup and the theme of Astrid all within the first 5 minutes. However except for one and that is Toothless’s theme because we are not people introduced to him yet. And the reason why his theme isn’t introduced is because at the point of the movie, Toothless is an outsider and not part of Berk. YET! Now Hiccup’s theme is the first part of ‘This Is Berk’ which is the first music you hear in the beginning of the movie before the dramatic music begins. Toothless’s theme, well we all know. But of these characters’ theme play when we are learning about them for the first time. Hiccup, at the beginning, and Toothless’s is during the training montage but when Hiccup and Toothless achieve how to fly together, John puts both of their themes together in the score called TEST DRIVE. As Hiccup and Toothless start to synchronize, so does the music. In the beginning it’s very slow because Toothless and Hiccup are still getting used to it but until Hiccup throws away to cheat sheet, we and see hear both of these characters come together. Now in various scores, we hear the use of Bagpipes. Now why bagpipes? Well in John Powell’s case, bagpipes are played to represent an unexpected event. For example, when Toothless confronts Hiccup in the forest, we hear bagpipes playing and the most likely scenario was for Toothless to kill Hiccup but surprisingly, he doesn’t. In the second movie, when Drago calls his Bewilderbeast to take over Toothless, bagpipes play throughout the entire score called “Hiccup Confronts Drago” and this is where Stoick dies which is completely unexpected.
Just going to say I love this movie. Granted, when it came out in theaters it was father’s day and the theater was filled with kids with their parents crying when Stoic died 😢 like his mom said, their are no bad dragons just bad people. Same goes for all animals imo
There are animated series that take place in between the first and second movies. First are Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk. Following that is the Netflix series Race to the Edge
When I tell you that I saw his dad dying as soon as Stoic started hauling ass to save hiccup, and that it killed me that they brought the family together again, just to tear it apart, I mean every word. I damn near cried.
This movie is impossible to watch without getting emotional. The scene of Hiccups mom and dad reuniting NEVER FAILS to make me cry! And the song “Where no one goes” is impossible to listen to without getting chills. You can just close your eyes while listening to it and feel like you and Toothless are flying through the clouds.
Watching the How to Train Your Dragon franchise on theaters is one of the biggest highlight of animated movies for me ❤ It continues to be my TOP 1 animated franchise and I know it’ll forever will be. Full of HEART & SOUL and when I see reaction videos watch this I have the CONFIDENCE that they will fall in love with it just like I did!
"The Iront Giant" 🤔 The parallels of "no one can change, trust me" with each other. Great stuff This and kungfu panda do amazing job incorporating music and sound. Freaking amazing franchises and unbelievable the animation keeps getting better and better.
4:58 Toothless at the start was creating makeshift thermals (warm rising air) to help Hiccup gain height. That's what hang gliders use to stay in the air for hours upon hours. Drago was voiced by the, "not yet" guy from Gladiator.
I just saw your reaction to the first movie and it was so cuteee and when I saw that there wasn't a part two I literally frowned😭 but then I suddenly saw this was posted 5 minutes ago I immediately clicked it😭
A little bit of fun HTTYD knowledge: the Terrible Terror, the tiny green dragons in the movie (the adorable little snoot trying to pick up the sheep) are actually based on the original Toothless from British children's author Cressida Cowell's book series.
In fact, as a person who watched the cartoon series in his childhood for this movie series, I cried with great sadness when Hiccup’s father died, because he has been with you since your childhood, and you are not seeing him for the first time in a movie.
How to train your dragon is a masterpiece of Storytelling over several sequels. You grew up with them. You ask if we want more animated films? Yes, please.
Now you understand why Stoick was so adverse to dragons in the first movie. He thought they killed his wife and nearly took his only, premature child’s life. Valka confirms that Hiccup was a premature baby, and Stoick having already lost his wife thought we was going to lose Hiccup as well. His hate for them in movie 1 is far more understandable given the context of this movie. 3:50 Skullcrusher, Stoick’s dragon is a tracker class dragon. He can track down anything he gets the scent of. Stoick had him smell Hiccup’s mask when they found it. _”Find them Skullcrusher, find them”_
Funnily enough, in a number of talks, the Dragons all have a different chemical element to their breaths. Stormfly has an incredibly hot one with her Magnesium, Hookfang is Napalm, Barf throws out Methane Oxide Gas, while Toothless breaths Oxyacetaline Charges. Would be why he's glowing blue, with his body super oxygenated, turbocharging and Superheating him.
What Ari mentions at the end pretty much sums it up. Having good writing, music and voice acting combined with the animators animating in "cinematic" ways is what makes it as real as "normal" movies. We resonate and feel with these characters cuz they're just as "real" as Frodo, Ripley or Captain(!) Jack... They just look a bit different. I seriously hope you check out more of the animated repertoire. In case you read and care for this comment and are interested in doing so plus haven't seen them yet here's some recommendations: Disney/Pixar: Luca, Encanto, Moana, Soul Dreamworks: Kung-Fu Panda series, Rise of the Guardians
Hey guys, new supporter here. I commented some stuff on patreon but left one little detail that you guys kind of overlooked. Valka said that Toothless is the same age as Hiccup which is why they get along so well with each other. That's all. It was great experience to watch this with you guys' take on the side. Keep up the good work.
Oh and the animated little details were nice in this one too like the little braids Astrid did on Hiccup and details on Stoick's beard. This movie is so great.
o wow its been 10 years since i went to see this in cinema it was such a good film i went twice. i loved the music and everything to it. my gran LOVES the dragons from it. thank you so much doing this film and cannot wait until you do 3rd one. maybe even the christmas film special. thank you
About how Stoic found Hiccup in the dragon nest. His dragon is from the class of dragons that have a very sensitive sense of smell, so when they found Hiccups helmet his dragons smell it and find Hiccup by the smell
It's not directly mentioned in this movie, but the first film's large dragon is an alpha. That's why the others brought all the fish to it. It was issuing them commands. Notice the sound that you hear when the Alpha is sending his signals is the same sound when Toothless discovers the dragon island in the the first movie. I love the risks they took in this film though. Having Stoic sacrifice himself for his son right after being reunited with his wife after twenty years is such a gut-punch.
I dont know if you guys would be interested but there is another dreamworks movie called “Spirit: stallion of the Cimarron” the details and animations are so awesome and also gorgeous at the same time
This is my favorite off the trilogy. It's just such a masterpiece. And have some napkins on the ready for the 3rd one, the ending is just damn powerful man.
Soooo…. Have y’all ever seen these? • Castle in the Sky (Studio Ghibli) • The Last Unicorn • The Secret of NIMH (Don Bluth) • The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Disney) Those are all I can think of to recommend at the moment, but if you haven’t seen them, please do! 💜 (And if I’ve recommended these already on this page, I’m sorry, I don’t remember 🙈)
Here's what happened I just arrived from my night shift duty and my hunger for sleep was getting higher and higher but I checked the notifications and then boom I saw this video.
For the record, The Queen from the first film. The Red Death as whats it called in world is only 400 Feet Long and 99 Feet Tall. While the King in this film, the Bewilderbeast is 648 feet long and 160 Feet Tall.
Love that you guys are watching more animated movies, I just HAVE to recommend The Last Unicorn, The Land Before Time (at least the first one), Watership Down, Who Framed Roger Rabbit etc etc. Some of these are definitely NOT for kids, but have really made an impact on me as a person. The Last Unicorn is one of the most amazing animated movies I've ever seen, Christopher Lee, Mia Farrow and Jeff Bridges are some of the voice talents and they are a big part in making the movie as magical as it is.
Hi guys! Ive been subscribed for a while now but usually just like other people's comments. Just want you to know this will be added in to my favs catalogue of your reactions that i will watch over and over again. Your reactions are so enjoyable. I watched this video of yours twice today. 🎉
Just thought of you guys watching it and there you are! I'm so glad that animaterd films of past aren't just past and you guys make them feel fresh like it's premier of them! Btw, there's two great disney animated films: The treasure planet and Atlantis: the lost world (i don't remember the exact title, but something among these lines). Both are adventure-themed movies with blend of 2d and 3d. Super worth checking out.
Notable cast members in this include Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Platz, , Kristen Wiig, Craig Ferguson, Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchet and Kit Harrington
Such amazing writing, storytelling, and acting, surrounded by beautiful animation. All three, to me, are a perfect whole. Plus the adorable dragons! I love Toothless!!

@@MorganAllison-bt9rn yeah
It’s so beautiful and mature that a kids animated movie not only lets their main character grow up, but also being disabled. Their disabilities bringing them closer together is just so heartwarming

Stoick just got his wife back, come on!

@@skynet8562I read toothless as toothpaste, I was so confused 😂
Yeah what was that sick power up toothless got to challenge the alpha?Its cool but it's never explained
Also, the Alpha's loss of its tusk sort of mirrors Dragos loss of his arm ... sort of a match for Hiccup and Toothless.
The sound Toothless makes when flying is so badass
I love this trilogy, but the second one has a special place in my heart. Stoic was an incredible Chieftain, husband, and father. And to have his son's best friend kill him is the most tragic and dark thing to do. Sometimes, evil just can't be changed.
It’s so sad! Not just because of the loss but also just like you mentioned because he didn’t mean to do it 🥺
Between the first movie and this one, there is an ENTIRE tv series that leads up to this one
Omg u just gave me SO MUCH nostalgia lmaoooo 😭 my childhood
Wow, quite the nostalgia bomb. Used to watch that show every day in my free time🥲
It also leads up to the third movie, but not only is it just a good in-between story, its also good quality
And what's more amazing is that Race To The Edge series made their character arc provide more build up before moving on to the second movie.
39:30 I felt that... 😭 Stoic's death is so painful to watch...
Ooff…we weren’t expecting them to go there 😔
Especially if you watched the animated series, we respect him more, and his death hits harder.
Most painfull i think is on Gober sporach when he pause and say "... a friends." It is clear that he list beat friends.
You know, if Toothless is the last of his kind, there may be things about himself he doesn't know because there were no other Nightfurys to teach him.
Who else remembers the trailer and seeing clips of this flight and then the reveal of Hiccups face and just felt like you were returning home?🖤
I do back in first or 2nd grade for me.
My mind was blown seeing the reveal of Hiccup taking that mask and revealing he's older had me saying " Is that Hiccup?"
I always grew up with the first movie as a kid. So you can imagine what it felt like for me to watch this movie and see Hiccup all grown up, Toothless being controlled and Stoick's death. It felt like my childhood got a whole slap in the face.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was a little kid.. It definitely left scars but good ones.
The music and story even the fact that a WHOLE series plays up to this movie and completes this movie is absolutely amazing. My favorite movie.
Love Drago as a villian but no one beats Viggo grimborn from the riders of Berg series. That dude was ALWAYS one step ahead.
I love that Drago's Bewilderbeast loses its left tusk, just like he lost his left arm, mirroring Hiccup's and Toothless' injuries from the first film.
The thing about drago is that the weapon he wields is called a bull hook. Essentially it was used by people to “”train”” elephants and not the good type of train. They’d do this when the elephant was younger and once it grew up it would still be afraid of it. Presumably since Drago raised his bewildrbeast from birth he used the same method.
Edit didn’t see the other comment sorry
YESS!!! God dammit, i love these movies so much!! 😂 Welcome to the dragonverse you two!! Hopefully, the next animated film series you guys tackle is the incredibles. I wanna see your guys reaction to those two!!
So happy you are enjoying these! We’ve got so much to catch up on when it comes to animated. Can’t wait to share more! ❤️😀
It’s crazy how good the story is in these kids movies. And the music literally brings you to tears in the emotional moments. Love these movies so much! Many get worse the more they make but this trilogy was beyond good!
5:03 - Not an obstacle course, heated air to give Hiccup a bit of lift and more air time.
You guys should watch rider’s of Berk. It’s the series in between the first two movies. Adds a lot of context and there’s so much story in between those five years
“Ruffnut? Didn’t she try to bury you alive!?”
“Only for a few hours.”
Yup…she actually did…in the race to the edge episode “badmoon rising”
Snotlout thinking it was hilarious convinced tuffnut that he was turning into a mythical dragon after tuffnut got bit by a wolf.
So ruffnut took it super personally and started forcing snotlout to take bites from numerous animals and dragons in order to find a match to tuffnut’s bite in order to convince her brother that it wasn’t some mythical beast of legend that he was slowly turning into.
You guys really should check out the series.
Thank you for the additional context! You guys rock! ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnightsalso you guys could see in the dragon racing scene when snotlout smiles he doesn't have some of his teeth. It's because in one episode of race to the edge series (zippleback experience) hiccup punch snotlout so hard he lose three teeth.
@@Clouds_Night”remember thor’s mighty hammer!?”
I remember watching this movie when it came out a few months before my dad passed. To this day stoick's death breaks my heart.
Me and my wife love these movies, she actually walked down the isle to a modified version of Test Drive for our wedding. Loving yalls reactions
No way! That is so sweet, thank you for sharing with us. Great choice!
Oh man, I’m so excited for this one, one of the best animated trilogies ever, you good have amazing reactions and I’m excited for this one! You’ll love it and the next one!!
Haha thank youu, we had such an amazing time with this one!! Can't wait for the next one!! Thank you for the kindness and support!
There's so much amazing things in this movie but Gobber's speech always hits so hard, it elevates Stoick with the way he talks about the great Chief received in Valhalla and then it brings him close speaking of him as a friend, it's so painful and beautifull, man I love this trilogy 🥹
Kit Harrington as Eric was such a perfect role for him continuing that dragon legacy from game of thrones 👑
One of the few trilogies that's just excellent from start to finish. It's so good
These have been fantastic! Loving the journey so far 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnights You'll love the third one too, I guarantee it ^^
45:46 when Toothless went Godzilla mode, I lost my $hi^!
This series is a rollercoaster and what a ride! It keeps getting better and better.
So cool to see how they develop these characters and how we get to see them grow ❤️
This franchise is so awesome 🤩 and memorable. Always down for animated movies, I CAN’T HELP BUT SMILE 😃😁😆
Love you guys
Ohhh so true, we have been having a blast with these movies! So wholesome and fun! Thank you so much for the support, we appreciate you!
"youre as beautiful as the day i lost you" ... probably the best scene ever in any western animated movie ever... (western! anime movies is just on a different level)
I grew up with these movies and they have a special place in my heart. Honestly my favourite animated trilogy of all time. This film is my favourite in particular. I’m so glad to see you guys react to it
This movie is phenomenal. But everytime i rewatch this, i go back to when Hiccup met his mom, learning about her life and the joy of spending time with her. And then seeing the reunion of his parents. Hiccup's joy at seeing his parents being in love with each other... it's heartwarming.
Little fact here, the voice behind Eret is Kit Harrington you might know him as Jon snow from GOT.
The one and only King in the North ❤️
Aaand I'm crying again. The first and second movies in this series hit me in all the feels as per. Love to rewatch it with you guys!
That line. Is. Perfection. One of the hardest hitting lines in any animated move.
This movie will forever have a special place in mine heart. My favorite of the trilogy. Valka and Stoic’s scenes are perfection. His funeral, so heartfelt. You guys put out another great reaction. ❤
John Powell started off as a protégé of Hans Zimmer, which totally makes sense and the influence in the score so apparent.
DreamWorks is truly such a good movie production company. Djimon Honsou did a great job with his voice over acting in this one as Draco. This film is such an emotional rollercoaster... from Hiccup finding his mother, to his father and mother reuniting, to losing his father. I think that this film may be better than the first. Not many films do that. Awesome reaction! ❤
I hope you guys are ready for the final film!! How to Train Your Dragon trilogy is such a masterpiece I've lost count how many times I've rewatched the films
Let me tell you how John Powell made some of the scores for the HTTYD franchise.
At the beginning of the first movie, we are literally introduced to the main themes of the entire franchise. The theme of the Vikings, the theme of Hiccup and the theme of Astrid all within the first 5 minutes. However except for one and that is Toothless’s theme because we are not people introduced to him yet. And the reason why his theme isn’t introduced is because at the point of the movie, Toothless is an outsider and not part of Berk. YET!
Now Hiccup’s theme is the first part of ‘This Is Berk’ which is the first music you hear in the beginning of the movie before the dramatic music begins. Toothless’s theme, well we all know. But of these characters’ theme play when we are learning about them for the first time. Hiccup, at the beginning, and Toothless’s is during the training montage but when Hiccup and Toothless achieve how to fly together, John puts both of their themes together in the score called TEST DRIVE. As Hiccup and Toothless start to synchronize, so does the music.
In the beginning it’s very slow because Toothless and Hiccup are still getting used to it but until Hiccup throws away to cheat sheet, we and see hear both of these characters come together.
Now in various scores, we hear the use of Bagpipes. Now why bagpipes? Well in John Powell’s case, bagpipes are played to represent an unexpected event. For example, when Toothless confronts Hiccup in the forest, we hear bagpipes playing and the most likely scenario was for Toothless to kill Hiccup but surprisingly, he doesn’t. In the second movie, when Drago calls his Bewilderbeast to take over Toothless, bagpipes play throughout the entire score called “Hiccup Confronts Drago” and this is where Stoick dies which is completely unexpected.
John Powells score is my favourite music.
HTTYD my favourite Movies.
Toothless Back Spines Glowing and being the Alpha
MonsterVerse Godzilla Approves 👍❤😎
Just going to say I love this movie. Granted, when it came out in theaters it was father’s day and the theater was filled with kids with their parents crying when Stoic died 😢 like his mom said, their are no bad dragons just bad people. Same goes for all animals imo
Stoick's sentence when he met Valka again and Gobber's speech during Stoick's death hit me 🫠
There are animated series that take place in between the first and second movies. First are Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk. Following that is the Netflix series Race to the Edge
When I tell you that I saw his dad dying as soon as Stoic started hauling ass to save hiccup, and that it killed me that they brought the family together again, just to tear it apart, I mean every word. I damn near cried.
Hands down, this channel is one of the best reaction channels I've ever come across!! ❤❤
I love how much your channel is growing. 3,900 views in under 50 minutes. You guys are doing great keep it going!
You guys have been amazing! Thank you for showing up and for being the absolute best ❤️
Congratulations on the 200k 🎉 you both definitely deserve all the love and subscribers you get because this is the best channel 😁
Thank you so much!! We absolutely love this community. You guys are the sweetest, most thoughtful crew ever ❤️
This movie is impossible to watch without getting emotional. The scene of Hiccups mom and dad reuniting NEVER FAILS to make me cry!
And the song “Where no one goes” is impossible to listen to without getting chills. You can just close your eyes while listening to it and feel like you and Toothless are flying through the clouds.
As somebody that lost his dad not much older than Hiccup, this hit hard the first time I watched it.
Watching the How to Train Your Dragon franchise on theaters is one of the biggest highlight of animated movies for me ❤ It continues to be my TOP 1 animated franchise and I know it’ll forever will be. Full of HEART & SOUL and when I see reaction videos watch this I have the CONFIDENCE that they will fall in love with it just like I did!
Me: "I've seen this movie and its just a reaction, I'll be fine."
Stoic's Death: "No you won't."
"The Iront Giant" 🤔
The parallels of "no one can change, trust me" with each other. Great stuff
This and kungfu panda do amazing job incorporating music and sound. Freaking amazing franchises and unbelievable the animation keeps getting better and better.
4:58 Toothless at the start was creating makeshift thermals (warm rising air) to help Hiccup gain height. That's what hang gliders use to stay in the air for hours upon hours. Drago was voiced by the, "not yet" guy from Gladiator.
I just saw your reaction to the first movie and it was so cuteee and when I saw that there wasn't a part two I literally frowned😭 but then I suddenly saw this was posted 5 minutes ago I immediately clicked it😭
Haha that's perfect timing!! We hope you enjoy!!
The way Hiccup snapped at Toothless after he killed Stoick just shattered my heart.
I love how you can be the most serious person in the world, you'll still cry like a baby watching HTTYD
A little bit of fun HTTYD knowledge: the Terrible Terror, the tiny green dragons in the movie (the adorable little snoot trying to pick up the sheep) are actually based on the original Toothless from British children's author Cressida Cowell's book series.
What a great discovery of this channel, now I am excited to watch movies all over again with you guys! ❤️
A cute minor detail on Hiccup's and Astrid's relationship; Hiccup keeps the little braids Astrid makes when she plays with his hair.
The Opening Scene Of How To Train Your Dragon 2 Was So Great To See Dragons Having a Fun Time
Yess, it's so wonderful to see how they all managed to co-exist and live peacefully!
Another sad part is the Dragos Bewilderbeast was being forced to fight
The scene where Stoic dies breaks me EVERY TIME I see it. I was a bawling mess.
In fact, as a person who watched the cartoon series in his childhood for this movie series, I cried with great sadness when Hiccup’s father died, because he has been with you since your childhood, and you are not seeing him for the first time in a movie.
Hello!!I have been watching your videos for so long!!I decided to become a member...keep it up!!!
Oh wow! Thank you for the huge compliment. We hope you continue to enjoy these ❤️
How to train your dragon is a masterpiece of Storytelling over several sequels. You grew up with them.
You ask if we want more animated films? Yes, please.
Now you understand why Stoick was so adverse to dragons in the first movie. He thought they killed his wife and nearly took his only, premature child’s life. Valka confirms that Hiccup was a premature baby, and Stoick having already lost his wife thought we was going to lose Hiccup as well.
His hate for them in movie 1 is far more understandable given the context of this movie.
3:50
Skullcrusher, Stoick’s dragon is a tracker class dragon. He can track down anything he gets the scent of. Stoick had him smell Hiccup’s mask when they found it.
_”Find them Skullcrusher, find them”_
Funnily enough, in a number of talks, the Dragons all have a different chemical element to their breaths. Stormfly has an incredibly hot one with her Magnesium, Hookfang is Napalm, Barf throws out Methane Oxide Gas, while Toothless breaths Oxyacetaline Charges. Would be why he's glowing blue, with his body super oxygenated, turbocharging and Superheating him.
What Ari mentions at the end pretty much sums it up. Having good writing, music and voice acting combined with the animators animating in "cinematic" ways is what makes it as real as "normal" movies. We resonate and feel with these characters cuz they're just as "real" as Frodo, Ripley or Captain(!) Jack... They just look a bit different.
I seriously hope you check out more of the animated repertoire. In case you read and care for this comment and are interested in doing so plus haven't seen them yet here's some recommendations:
Disney/Pixar: Luca, Encanto, Moana, Soul
Dreamworks: Kung-Fu Panda series, Rise of the Guardians
this whole movie makes me cry like a baby
Hey guys, new supporter here. I commented some stuff on patreon but left one little detail that you guys kind of overlooked. Valka said that Toothless is the same age as Hiccup which is why they get along so well with each other.
That's all. It was great experience to watch this with you guys' take on the side. Keep up the good work.
Oh and the animated little details were nice in this one too like the little braids Astrid did on Hiccup and details on
Stoick's beard. This movie is so great.
This is, imo, the best animated trilogy ever and one of the best in general, too. Can’t wait to see you guys check out the next one
This movie is a tear jerker at the end.. and the next is also very emotional but SOOOO amazing!
And by end I also mean middle
Toothless is a literal wingman
o wow its been 10 years since i went to see this in cinema it was such a good film i went twice. i loved the music and everything to it. my gran LOVES the dragons from it. thank you so much doing this film and cannot wait until you do 3rd one. maybe even the christmas film special. thank you
i love the evolution, men that Chimuelo Alfa scream was epic!
About how Stoic found Hiccup in the dragon nest. His dragon is from the class of dragons that have a very sensitive sense of smell, so when they found Hiccups helmet his dragons smell it and find Hiccup by the smell
It's not directly mentioned in this movie, but the first film's large dragon is an alpha. That's why the others brought all the fish to it. It was issuing them commands. Notice the sound that you hear when the Alpha is sending his signals is the same sound when Toothless discovers the dragon island in the the first movie.
I love the risks they took in this film though. Having Stoic sacrifice himself for his son right after being reunited with his wife after twenty years is such a gut-punch.
I dont know if you guys would be interested but there is another dreamworks movie called “Spirit: stallion of the Cimarron” the details and animations are so awesome and also gorgeous at the same time
This is my favorite off the trilogy. It's just such a masterpiece. And have some napkins on the ready for the 3rd one, the ending is just damn powerful man.
Soooo…. Have y’all ever seen these?
• Castle in the Sky (Studio Ghibli)
• The Last Unicorn
• The Secret of NIMH (Don Bluth)
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Disney)
Those are all I can think of to recommend at the moment, but if you haven’t seen them, please do! 💜
(And if I’ve recommended these already on this page, I’m sorry, I don’t remember 🙈)
Here's what happened I just arrived from my night shift duty and my hunger for sleep was getting higher and higher but I checked the notifications and then boom I saw this video.
For the record, The Queen from the first film. The Red Death as whats it called in world is only 400 Feet Long and 99 Feet Tall. While the King in this film, the Bewilderbeast is 648 feet long and 160 Feet Tall.
Love that you guys are watching more animated movies, I just HAVE to recommend The Last Unicorn, The Land Before Time (at least the first one), Watership Down, Who Framed Roger Rabbit etc etc. Some of these are definitely NOT for kids, but have really made an impact on me as a person. The Last Unicorn is one of the most amazing animated movies I've ever seen, Christopher Lee, Mia Farrow and Jeff Bridges are some of the voice talents and they are a big part in making the movie as magical as it is.
Hi guys! Ive been subscribed for a while now but usually just like other people's comments. Just want you to know this will be added in to my favs catalogue of your reactions that i will watch over and over again. Your reactions are so enjoyable. I watched this video of yours twice today. 🎉
Just thought of you guys watching it and there you are! I'm so glad that animaterd films of past aren't just past and you guys make them feel fresh like it's premier of them! Btw, there's two great disney animated films: The treasure planet and Atlantis: the lost world (i don't remember the exact title, but something among these lines). Both are adventure-themed movies with blend of 2d and 3d. Super worth checking out.
Btw, Emperor's New Groove is a great addition to this list. It's also made by Disney and one of their most iconic works
Notable cast members in this include Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Platz, , Kristen Wiig, Craig Ferguson, Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchet and Kit Harrington
Such amazing writing, storytelling, and acting, surrounded by beautiful animation. All three, to me, are a perfect whole. Plus the adorable dragons! I love Toothless!!
You don't know how quickly I drop everything I'm doing to see this❤
