"There were dragons when I was a boy. Ah, there were great, grim sky dragons that nested on the clifftops like gigantic, scary birds. Little, brown, scuttly dragons that hunted down the mice and rats in well-organized packs. Preposterously huge sea dragons that were twenty times as big as the big blue whale. Some say they crawled back into the sea, leaving not a bone nor a fang for men to remember them by. Others say they were nothing but folktales to begin with. I’m okay with that." "Legend says that when the ground quakes, or lava spews from the earth, it’s the dragons, letting us know they’re still here, waiting for us to figure out how to get along. Yes, the world believes the dragons are gone, if they ever existed at all. But we Berkians, we know otherwise. And we’ll guard this secret until the time comes when dragons can return in peace." ---- Hiccup Haddock the 3rd
Bro I remember when the first trailer for the third movie came out and I basically ran up the wall when I heard Hiccup say the first line, such a great callback to the books
The How to Train Your Dragon books were my childhood. I'm not an avid reader, so it's probably the only series i've ever read to completion, but i loved every second of it.
And my day is made. But we all still must remember the best way to tame a dragon is "YELLING!!!" -Stoick the Vast, Oh hear his name and tremble Ugh Ugh.
Well... Httyd is my life, and part of me since 10 years... I rlly love it. I cant rlly find good words do describe what i feel to that. Just... Love. But 3rd part of this film broke my heart. I know that hidden world were needed but... Its terrible that there is no dragons anymore. And as I know people we wont learn to live in peace. Do dragons will never come...
imagine flying on the back of a dragon on a comfortable leather saddle feeling the wind and flying through clouds looking down to see the beautiful islands and ocean beneath you as you soar in the sky

I say this because this feels so heavy, I say you relied too much on the string instruments, they have a tendency to add weight if you are not careful, this made the music feel less free flying in general, a minor issue, but one that bothered me nonetheless. The low brass are bold and daring instruments, you should have used them far more, I'm a bit surprised at how you used the bagpipes to greater effect than the low brass, bagpipes in my opinion are the trickier instruments to utilize. I would note how the original used trombones quite frequently, and to great effect, you used them very little, rarely on their own, and if on their own they were recreating a melody that required them, I know your specialty is in string instruments, but this is still no reason not to believe in the power of the low brass, especially for this kind of music. When the low brass shines, it shines, not like a weak candle, but like a burning sun, when used correctly, the impact is undeniably powerful, no other section of instruments can have a harder impact than the low brass (Drums hit hard, but they only keep the pace, not the intensity, think of it as a hit and run when it comes to drums), they are bold instruments, and are held back when they are played cautiously, but do not let me saying this take away from your expert use of them, it was very well done, it lived up to expectations I had set, so it is not a complaint as much it is an interest in what you can do. This orchestration is intricately detailed, and after listening to it over and over those details show themselves, it is truly beautiful and an excellent work of art, and I do quite enjoy it, the passion is clearly there, and I love that, that alone makes it worthy of praise. I still prefer the style of the original, and I would not say this is a masterpiece, but it is an excellent, a superior piece, and I would say well worth the wait. Tempo did get a bit shaky at parts, some pieces lost some of their impact (mainly due to instrumentation), test drives percussion certainly snapped me back to attention, but the impact was rather weak for such a strong set up, but in the end, all of this is minor nitpicks, overall, 9/10, not much can be done to improve what's already here, I was actually hard pressed to find things to actually criticize, and I do love it when someone makes me work to find those things, it is all too common for modern artists to make it too easy to find problems, forcing you to try and look past them as a result, but not this time, I was pleased and enjoyed this, so good job on making an excellent piece, and I look forward to hearing what you put out in the future.
@@thelegendaky I love how gentle it is, how even in the most impactful moments it feels gentle, not in a bad way, I wish more artists could be more expressive in that regard. I love how he takes something that is plain and simple and expands it into something more, creating a sense of curiosity and wonder and invoking a desire to explore from seemingly simple melodies. There is a sense of nostalgia, but not for a moment is any of it bitter, but rather there is a distinct warmth to it, and instead of creating feelings of despair it invokes a feeling of hope for the future. I find his music to be very comforting, I can tell that he is indeed very passionate about his work, and it is indeed praiseworthy. I have not heard any of his works previous to today so these are my initial impressions I got from listening to 4 or 5 different songs of his. I think that he is an excellent musician, and I thank you for giving me his name.
@@DaydreamsAllDay a good musician will invoke nostalgia and rather than make you bitter, you'll feel that warmth as you mentioned. Something I've devolped as an aspiring music major
@@Yoshithann you understand not everyone cries to music and still feel the emotion right? I'd like to ask if you have a brain because I highly doubt you do after this comment.
Oh be still my childhood heart, for you ache of lost time. I can't begin to express my love for this the dramatic changes in tone and smooth changes into the next part it really did bring the movies into the song, you really outdid yourself on this one rush. I was legit crying when listening to this cause of the memories and childhood it brought back, granted it wasn't a long time ago but still I'm reminded that I grew up alongside hiccup hadoc the III and the journey is over, and a new one will begin. Thank you.
This movie was a shared favorite between a childhood sweetheart’s and me. We were going to sing 4:05 at our wedding. Long story short it didn’t work out, and I steered clear of the HTTYD soundtrack for a while. I’m glad I came back. Great job, man. Brought back some really sweet memories even though they’re a little bitter now.
I love the way everything blended together, but what really took my breath away was For the Dancing and the Dreaming. It sounded like a brilliant tribute to Stoick: his love for Valka, the Vikings that he led into battle, and the community that he built with his son and their dragons. I felt like I was reliving all the best parts of HTTYD2 all at once. Thank you so much for this.
I drop a tear every time I hear music of HTTYD, it's truly my favorite. It's inspiring, motivational, soothing, hyping and brings me to a fantasy world that the child in me wants to live in. I always ride my horse with my earpods in because I can concentrate much better and focus on tempo changes, collectivity and schwung.
@@weech3177 i seriously thought of it!! However, my sweet boy came from a breeder and has ‘Nobblyneez’ on his papers (I mean it sounds like a dragon name in HTTYD🤣) so we made i Nobli 🤪 I breed hamsters tho and have had multiple dragon names in there and I am planning on doing a themed litter again soon (because there are so many names❤️)
@@chantalprins3360 now I want to see the dragon hamsters! All I have is a dragon rubber ducky XD. (Like normal 20 years old do. We see a rubber ducky alone in a wallgrens and we rescue him)
HTTYD was my childhood. This song brings me joy beyond compare, and to be quite frank Rush, I'd say you have capabilities equal to that of any successful Disney or Pixar composer. Stunning. Just stunning. 😭👏
Yes, finally. Can't wait for this Masterpiece to roll. Hollow knight orchestration next time maybe? Edit: I have a flash back of the entire franchise, from This is Berk to There were Dragons, went through my head over the course of the orchestration. Not only that, the piece also remind me of my younger years, happy and dream, when life is easier. Flash forward to now, life has gotten harder and less forgiving, but so am I. I still countinue to chase after my dream, the same dream, promise I made to myself in my younger years. This piece has not only remind me of the beloved HTTYD franchise, it also remind me of my journey, from my younger years till now, the journey toward my dream, and give me even more strength and inspiration to move toward, to run after that shooting star. For all of that, thank you Rush, thank you for everything.
i will never forget this gem of a series- i know i will always come back to this, this part of my childhood that made me burst with wonder and love for the fantastical. it doesn't hurt that the music are all so beautifully composed as well. Such a lovely time in my childhood will remain forever close to my heart.
Bro I’m literally crying! I was so obsessed with httyd. I have all the movies, watched all the shows multiple time, I freaking love it. This is amazing
Yumi. Whenever I watched the series or movies when they were being attacked by whoever they were facing off against, I came to the realisation I’m not quite as compassionate as most of the characters. For example, when their being attacked and Toothless is unable to fight, my brain instantly goes along the lines of “you have a sword so fucking use it, and finish the job this time to make things easier.”
Hadn't even premiered yet and already a dislike. YT sucks man. Edit: THAT WAS AMAZING! HtTYD is a franchise that's always had such a big yet backseat impact on my childhood, first movie came our when I was 10, the last one when I was 19. It's one of those series that when people ask about, you can't say much, but you know deep down how much it's impacted you.
Same honestly I love the series even since I was a child and I’ve been playing the game they have *SoD For 5 years now I love the series honestly and I think it’s wonderful plus so much nostalgia comes from it and I can’t get enough of it
I felt tears prick at my eyes when I listened to it. My mind just couldn't stop whirling around, remembering the moments when those scores played. Thank you Rush, this piece gave me an unfathomable joy.
I pity my parents. Almost every time I hear the HTTYD theme I immediately start yelling it and i don’t plan to stop until it’s over. Pretty much did that to the entirety of this song, nice work fellow human being!
@@bradleyyang9076 depending on the part sometimes it’s either me just screaming the beats or aggressively humming. I should probably stop doing that lol
Something about this (especially with headphones) just pulled my soul. I rarely get a song that pulls at my heart the way this did. I can feel the base in my chest. The power in this is immense. I rarely cry with songs but this made me start bawling. As a die hard httyd fan through the years the journey this soundtrack represents really brought me back. Thank you.
Oh my gosh YES! I played a how to train your dragon arrangement in honors band one year and it was my favorite piece. The music for this movie is amazing!
How to Train Your Dragon is the film that inspired me to pursue animation in college. I’m focusing on hand drawn animation but even still. This story and these characters made such a huge impact on my life. Furthermore this film has one of the best scores I’ve ever heard hands down. Not just in animated film. Just in film in general. It’s just gorgeous and so memorable. This composition is really great. ^^
Dang there will never be a HTTYD 4... I like to think of this piece of what happens when Night Furies have finally rised from extinction and there is a whole sanctuary of Night Furies in the hidden world man
I seem to have seen that there is going to be a fourth film, but it is not confirmed yet, a youtube channel is dedicated to showing information about HTTYD, it seems to me that the creator of the channel has friends who work at DreamWorks. I do not know if the information is true, but it gives a lot of information about possible projects.
@@viv06s81 if they do make a 4th film it could entail that the hidden world is in danger and toothless and the rest of the gang find hiccup to help them protect it from the Dragon hunters.. because they found where they have been staying..
for those of you still wondering: no there will be no 4th movie afaik. BUT there is a 20 minute episode where you can see hiccup and his wife and kids and they have a smill, yet absolutely tearjerking, journey ;)
I like how @4:05 it starts with just bagpipes and snare then it gradually progresses into the full, orchestra? Also, just imagine being on the back of a Dragon Listening to this while fly over the clouds!
I've loved these movies since I was little, and listening to the soundtrack has always made me feel like I have my own dragon at my side. This, however, this makes me feel like I can fly.
@@madiz4228 That could be the case. I personally lean more towards the plot changing and evolving over the course of development. Honestly, I'm unsure whether I'm glad that they didn't end up going through with it, or not. HTTYD 3's story already has difficulties standing alone outside of the context of being the finale to the trilogy, and I do wonder whether or not Drago's inclusion would have contributed to that feeling. On the other hand, I greatly prefer Drago as a villain over Grimmel, and it may have benefited the story to expand on an already established villain, rather than feeling the need to create a new one. Alas, I ramble
@@madiz4228 I'm thinking it changed in development. The third film reeks of focus group testing and executive meddling (at least, that's an easier pill to swallow when it comes to wondering what the hell happened to the side characters), and Drago wasn't well-received, so rather than allowing room for him to be fleshed out they just tossed him aside for a new villain. It's implied Drago's fireproof cape is made of Night Fury skin, so it totally makes sense for him to have been the original "kill every last one of them" antagonist of the finale- and with the additional motivation of wanting personal revenge on Toothless and Hiccup for stealing away his armies. If there's one thing we should take away from the sequels of 2019, it's this: follow-through, follow-through, follow-through. Don't cave into audience impressions, because they change with the wind, very often don't actually know what they want, and almost never know better than seasoned storytellers.
Gosh this gave me the chills. HTTYD is just such an amazing franchise. I really can’t say enough good things about it and this score was just so perfect. This was the first franchise I can remember that me and my sister became obsessed over and we bonded over watching all the movies, holiday specials, and shows over and over again. I really cannot say enough amazing things about this franchise. Like wow... maybe I should read the books now...
Hard to believe the first film is a decade old already, I remember watching it in the cinema as a kid. Forgot about the third one and watched it towards the start of the year and damn does it hit different when you're older.
I've always loved the movies. I grew up with them and even drew some How to Train Your Dragon inspired dragon concepts of what I believed you'd find in the state of Montana, my home, in early-middle school. This orchestration does this amazing franchise a great service! Doing well as always, Rush!
This was awesome. I loved hearing all the melodies I've always loved, especially the ones that never get used in any cover like Flying with Mother or Dragon Racing. This was truly an unexpected gift and I really hope to see more HTTYD in the future.
This is the type of arrangement and Instrumentation I think of when I think of your work Rush, and the type that drew me to your channel, excellent work!
Holy shit... I was consumed by this orchestration from the first second, touched to the very soul... HTTYD always had special place in my heart along with music of John Powel, and I almost forgot what unimaginable feeling of joy this soundtrack brings, especially when you didn't hear it for a while, but this... Rush, you got the vibe perfectly, this is amazing
Found this is my recommendation and I'm grateful for it. This brings me back to when I was obsessed with this franchise, I still am now, but I still remember those days of when I would day dream of when dragons would come back.
I can't begin to describe how empowering this song is. It elevates my spirits beyond belief and reminds me of my strength within. This is truly an extraordinary piece beyond measure.
I can’t express in words my love for these films. They changed my life. I don’t know why, I can’t figure out why they’re so special to me, all I know is that these movies shaped my childhood and made me the person I am today.
I cannot thank you enough for making this. This is how I found and got into your channel. This movie holds a deep sentimental value to me and thus much of its affeliated content. Yes I know John Powell already made this an orchestral masterpiece but that's no compromise on your own masterful rendition of a DW classic. You will never know the end product till you make its foundation.
I'm no professional musician, or even a hobbyist musician, but this arrangement was sending shivers down my spine and giving me goosebumps along my arms in the same way the original soundtrack did. I think saying that's enough to tell you how I feel about this arrangement. Excellent work.
Well, this is a premiere I really regret missing XD These movies and the books were a huge part of my childhood, and I absolutely adore all three movie soundtracks. This is a great orchestration, I love how it adds even more of a Celtic theme. Great tribute! Thanks for the awesome songs! :D Edit: Cotton fluff, I was hoping for Dancing and Dreaming and it still caught me off guard XD That was a beautiful transition into the song, my goodness!!
I cant tell you how much I love this. I've grown up with httyd, started watching when I was 6 and the last movie came out right around when I was turning 13. It makes me really emotional because it's something I loved so much as a child and now the series has ended right as I became a teenager. As a teen getting older and being introduced to the stressors of adulthood(as well as a lot of mental health issues), I can feel my childhood slipping away and the end of this series kinda finalizes it. It's scary getting older and sometimes it can feel so hopeless, the thought that I'll never be a careless kid again. I still watch the movies but have a hard time making it through without crying lol. This video brings tears to my eyes but also brings me back to being a kid. Thankyou.
Thank you for bringing these feeling back to me. It means so much to me to hear these songs as the How to Train Your Dragon series means so much to me. It's been my favourite and most impactful series as a kid and it brings so much joy and happiness to me. I needed this today. So again thank you.
With a bunch of these here in one short video it made me realize just how many iconic melodies HTTYD has. I can tell the scenes they're from too. Kudos to John Powell! And you too!
AAHHHHH!!!! THAT WAS SO GOOD OMG! I love how you smushed everything together, there was the main theme, Toothless's theme, and For the Dancing and Dreaming hit me with the feels so hard. I especially enjoyed your transition at 1:42, it was just beautiful. I'm definitely going to listen to this on repeat.
You've earned a subscriber, the absolute joy I feel just closing my eyes and listening brings back that touch of magic and wonder I had when I first saw Hiccup and toothless fly together.
I’m crying and so are you the memory’s will never fade I love this show / movies so much I know so much and will never forget when I have kids this is what they will watch
Finally got the courage to listen to it, it's hard for me to listen to these kinds of things because HTTYD impacted me so much, I hate getting overly emotional but this was truly awesome to listen to!
I teared up at For the Dancing and the Dreaming.. This franchise and it's music means so bloody much to me. It wasn't really my childhood as I'm a '98 kid, but I still grew up with it. I have my issues with it (Drago really should have returned in The Hidden World), but I love it regardless. I'll always love HTTYD. It's one of a few continuum's through my life that's truly helped me, given me escapism from my troubles. And Powell's music chimed perfectly at every moment.
Probably the best Cinematic Franchise ever made. Not because of the quality of the story or that it made 3 great sequential movies. But by the fact that it Matured over the years alongside the audience, it was first presented to.
This is my childhood! I miss how to train your dragon I grew up on it! And it got me into my love of dragons and mythical creatures this music means so much to me! Thank you!!!
I have no idea on how to properly verbalize how I felt towards this very piece. It gives me so many emotions simultaneously that it is hard to describe them one by one. Being a HTTYD fan myself, this song rocked me to the core. And for this, thank you, Rush Garcia.

One of the most inspiring, beautiful, magical, most powerful musical pieces I’ve ever heard

For me, its not impossible at all.
@@DAGGR no childhood?
@@Yoshithann oh no, I got a childhood, I just don’t cry to shit.
@@Yoshithann you understand not everyone cries to music and still feel the emotion right? I'd like to ask if you have a brain because I highly doubt you do after this comment.
@@DAGGR i don't cry too but this ain't shit
Oh be still my childhood heart, for you ache of lost time.
I can't begin to express my love for this the dramatic changes in tone and smooth changes into the next part it really did bring the movies into the song, you really outdid yourself on this one rush. I was legit crying when listening to this cause of the memories and childhood it brought back, granted it wasn't a long time ago but still I'm reminded that I grew up alongside hiccup hadoc the III and the journey is over, and a new one will begin. Thank you.
I watched the 2nd movies, start learning about the franchise and lore a few years ago. I still linger around the fandom till this day.
I feel you when you said you cried, I'm not tearing up you are.
when you said "Oh be still my childhood heart, for you ache of lost time." I thought u where about to write a poem, that would make me cry
This movie was a shared favorite between a childhood sweetheart’s and me. We were going to sing 4:05 at our wedding. Long story short it didn’t work out, and I steered clear of the HTTYD soundtrack for a while. I’m glad I came back. Great job, man. Brought back some really sweet memories even though they’re a little bitter now.
hiccup and astrid's wedding song is legendary! I would honestly want to have that playing durring my wedding.
To the chief and chieftess!!!
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. But the right person is out there waiting for you! I promise!
@@shyamgovani262 by the way this was originally stoicks and valkas wedding song
not everyone gets a first mate the first time
Been looking for this comment for a minute. Same for me, bro. Hope you've been well.
I can feel the entire trilogy just from listening to this
I love the way everything blended together, but what really took my breath away was For the Dancing and the Dreaming. It sounded like a brilliant tribute to Stoick: his love for Valka, the Vikings that he led into battle, and the community that he built with his son and their dragons. I felt like I was reliving all the best parts of HTTYD2 all at once. Thank you so much for this.
And the prize of 'most underrated youtuber ever' goes too-
There’s always a underrated-er fish
The best is how well the intro blends into the rest of the song so it's not so intrusive
Everyone: yay so beauyifull, ah the nostalgia.
Me: *remembers the endibg of the third movie, specially the hug and drops a tear*
I drop a tear every time I hear music of HTTYD, it's truly my favorite. It's inspiring, motivational, soothing, hyping and brings me to a fantasy world that the child in me wants to live in.
I always ride my horse with my earpods in because I can concentrate much better and focus on tempo changes, collectivity and schwung.
@@chantalprins3360 Will you name a black horse Toothless?
@@weech3177 i seriously thought of it!! However, my sweet boy came from a breeder and has ‘Nobblyneez’ on his papers (I mean it sounds like a dragon name in HTTYD🤣) so we made i Nobli 🤪
I breed hamsters tho and have had multiple dragon names in there and I am planning on doing a themed litter again soon (because there are so many names❤️)
@@chantalprins3360 now I want to see the dragon hamsters! All I have is a dragon rubber ducky XD. (Like normal 20 years old do. We see a rubber ducky alone in a wallgrens and we rescue him)

Feel you bro

HTTYD was my childhood. This song brings me joy beyond compare, and to be quite frank Rush, I'd say you have capabilities equal to that of any successful Disney or Pixar composer. Stunning. Just stunning. 😭👏
HTTYD wasn’t your childhood, it was our childhood
Same, music lad.
@Jammy L Yeah I know, was just saying Rush has major potential
2:20 the music when hiccup first found toothless
🙂😊
Yes, finally. Can't wait for this Masterpiece to roll. Hollow knight orchestration next time maybe?
Edit: I have a flash back of the entire franchise, from This is Berk to There were Dragons, went through my head over the course of the orchestration. Not only that, the piece also remind me of my younger years, happy and dream, when life is easier. Flash forward to now, life has gotten harder and less forgiving, but so am I. I still countinue to chase after my dream, the same dream, promise I made to myself in my younger years. This piece has not only remind me of the beloved HTTYD franchise, it also remind me of my journey, from my younger years till now, the journey toward my dream, and give me even more strength and inspiration to move toward, to run after that shooting star. For all of that, thank you Rush, thank you for everything.
Hollow Knight would be really cool. Or maybe like, a Spyro one.
I love the line where you said: The world is harder and less forgiving, but so am I.
@@blobofink thanks man, I got pretty emotional after the orchestration, didn't think I would, but I did regardless.
HTTYD pulled off growing with your audience better than any other media I've ever seen and I'm glad to see the song imagined so beautifully today.
My online friend sent me this just now-
And I can't express in words as to how much of a masterpiece this is-
@Shibietto Shrimpie
DON'T CALL ME OUT YOU LITTLE--
@@zmadisonz a true friend
Love the percussion at 5:06
Test drive I think
@@wernerunterberger4374 Indeed!
I'm hit with waves of nostalgia. It's only been a year since the last film premiered but, gods, this brings back memories!
Wait it’s been a year already? Damn
Bro it feels like it's been 4 years
It feels like a lifetime
i will never forget this gem of a series- i know i will always come back to this, this part of my childhood that made me burst with wonder and love for the fantastical. it doesn't hurt that the music are all so beautifully composed as well. Such a lovely time in my childhood will remain forever close to my heart.
Honestly John Powell wrote something amazing, and you just took it another step. Awesome work
Bro I’m literally crying! I was so obsessed with httyd. I have all the movies, watched all the shows multiple time, I freaking love it. This is amazing
The one dislike is from a httyd villain,,, possibly Drago’s reincarnation or smth
Yumi, shit there’s four of them now!
G L Y P H Dang we have to call for back up, quick call toothless and let the alpha show who’s boss
It was Alvin the Treacherous, fools
Yumi. Whenever I watched the series or movies when they were being attacked by whoever they were facing off against, I came to the realisation I’m not quite as compassionate as most of the characters.
For example, when their being attacked and Toothless is unable to fight, my brain instantly goes along the lines of “you have a sword so fucking use it, and finish the job this time to make things easier.”
G L Y P H so true XD
Love the Scottish feel you've put into this arrangement😍🥰 love the bagpipes section for dancing and the dreaming.
Hadn't even premiered yet and already a dislike. YT sucks man.
Edit: THAT WAS AMAZING! HtTYD is a franchise that's always had such a big yet backseat impact on my childhood, first movie came our when I was 10, the last one when I was 19. It's one of those series that when people ask about, you can't say much, but you know deep down how much it's impacted you.
Yeah
As some one born in 2001 I can relate.
Same honestly I love the series even since I was a child and I’ve been playing the game they have *SoD For 5 years now I love the series honestly and I think it’s wonderful plus so much nostalgia comes from it and I can’t get enough of it
@@ki_raaa try Rise of Berk! It's my favorite HTTYD game.
SAme 2000 here can relate, well for me it was both HTTYD and anime XD
4:06 I love this part! Very well done! 👏
I felt tears prick at my eyes when I listened to it. My mind just couldn't stop whirling around, remembering the moments when those scores played. Thank you Rush, this piece gave me an unfathomable joy.
I pity my parents. Almost every time I hear the HTTYD theme I immediately start yelling it and i don’t plan to stop until it’s over. Pretty much did that to the entirety of this song, nice work fellow human being!
I wonder how you yell this...
@@bradleyyang9076 depending on the part sometimes it’s either me just screaming the beats or aggressively humming. I should probably stop doing that lol
@@pawprintus5101 No, never stop. Hell, go even louder so that Stoick would be able to hear you all the way in Valhalla.
I SUPPORT THIS this is a very good thing, everybody should do this
Hi I’m here to remind you to yell some more
I showed this to my black cat
It became a Night Fury
I have a black cat that I swear acts like him sometimes
@@arlen7726 well makes sense the night furies were designed with catlike mannerisms
Please give him his teeth back he needs them
My black cat was named toothless before I named her Kuro.
@JS - 08AK - Fallingbrook MS (1547) ok
Something about this (especially with headphones) just pulled my soul. I rarely get a song that pulls at my heart the way this did. I can feel the base in my chest. The power in this is immense. I rarely cry with songs but this made me start bawling. As a die hard httyd fan through the years the journey this soundtrack represents really brought me back. Thank you.
When the theme song came on a big grin just spread across my face. I'm so glad I could see the day you would do HTTYD.
And I'm so hyped you included The Dancin' and the Dreamin' too!! You know what's up.
I'm literally shaking in nostalgia. I'm glad this made it's way to my recommendations
Oh my gosh YES! I played a how to train your dragon arrangement in honors band one year and it was my favorite piece. The music for this movie is amazing!
Bruhhhh I wish I coulda played httyd in honor band
How to Train Your Dragon is the film that inspired me to pursue animation in college. I’m focusing on hand drawn animation but even still. This story and these characters made such a huge impact on my life. Furthermore this film has one of the best scores I’ve ever heard hands down. Not just in animated film. Just in film in general. It’s just gorgeous and so memorable. This composition is really great. ^^
Dang there will never be a HTTYD 4...
I like to think of this piece of what happens when Night Furies have finally rised from extinction and there is a whole sanctuary of Night Furies in the hidden world
man
I want it too but im glad they made only 3 greate and azing movies instead of bunch of bad sequels
I seem to have seen that there is going to be a fourth film, but it is not confirmed yet, a youtube channel is dedicated to showing information about HTTYD, it seems to me that the creator of the channel has friends who work at DreamWorks.
I do not know if the information is true, but it gives a lot of information about possible projects.
@@viv06s81 if they do make a 4th film it could entail that the hidden world is in danger and toothless and the rest of the gang find hiccup to help them protect it from the Dragon hunters.. because they found where they have been staying..
i dont need an A-10, ill just Airstrike some Taliban members with my Nightfury
for those of you still wondering: no there will be no 4th movie afaik. BUT there is a 20 minute episode where you can see hiccup and his wife and kids and they have a smill, yet absolutely tearjerking, journey ;)
this is soooooooo amazing, I feel elctric wavy in amagical way while listening this masterpiece
I like how @4:05 it starts with just bagpipes and snare then it gradually progresses into the full, orchestra? Also, just imagine being on the back of a Dragon Listening to this while fly over the clouds!
This is EASILY the best HTTYD music arrangement I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. Congrats!
I've loved these movies since I was little, and listening to the soundtrack has always made me feel like I have my own dragon at my side. This, however, this makes me feel like I can fly.
It hurts that this masterpiece has to have an ending
Anyone else remember when interviews were all like "Drago's gonna have a character arc in HTTYD 3?" Cause I remember that.
I do! I was kinda hoping for that. Probably to throw people off the scent of the actual plot.
@@madiz4228 That could be the case. I personally lean more towards the plot changing and evolving over the course of development. Honestly, I'm unsure whether I'm glad that they didn't end up going through with it, or not. HTTYD 3's story already has difficulties standing alone outside of the context of being the finale to the trilogy, and I do wonder whether or not Drago's inclusion would have contributed to that feeling. On the other hand, I greatly prefer Drago as a villain over Grimmel, and it may have benefited the story to expand on an already established villain, rather than feeling the need to create a new one. Alas, I ramble
My best friend was convinced Drago was the villan again too. I was convinced he was dead.
@@madiz4228 I'm thinking it changed in development. The third film reeks of focus group testing and executive meddling (at least, that's an easier pill to swallow when it comes to wondering what the hell happened to the side characters), and Drago wasn't well-received, so rather than allowing room for him to be fleshed out they just tossed him aside for a new villain. It's implied Drago's fireproof cape is made of Night Fury skin, so it totally makes sense for him to have been the original "kill every last one of them" antagonist of the finale- and with the additional motivation of wanting personal revenge on Toothless and Hiccup for stealing away his armies. If there's one thing we should take away from the sequels of 2019, it's this: follow-through, follow-through, follow-through. Don't cave into audience impressions, because they change with the wind, very often don't actually know what they want, and almost never know better than seasoned storytellers.
Gosh this gave me the chills. HTTYD is just such an amazing franchise. I really can’t say enough good things about it and this score was just so perfect.
This was the first franchise I can remember that me and my sister became obsessed over and we bonded over watching all the movies, holiday specials, and shows over and over again. I really cannot say enough amazing things about this franchise. Like wow... maybe I should read the books now...
"3:00 Flying theme" I really luv that scenes
Hearing Dancing and the Dreaming in bagpipes will always be a win for me, you don't hear such a unique take anywhere else ❤
0:49 sounds very similar to John Powell's mockup of 'This is Berk'.
this is a godamn orchestral-
5:05 Don't mind me, I'm just bookmarking my favourite bit of music ever
Hard to believe the first film is a decade old already, I remember watching it in the cinema as a kid. Forgot about the third one and watched it towards the start of the year and damn does it hit different when you're older.
you, sir, are CRIMINALLY underrated. i don't understand how little subscribers you have when you put so much time, energy, and beauty into these.
I've always loved the movies. I grew up with them and even drew some How to Train Your Dragon inspired dragon concepts of what I believed you'd find in the state of Montana, my home, in early-middle school. This orchestration does this amazing franchise a great service! Doing well as always, Rush!
looking over a valley in the mountain with a great breeze and a stream with great big trees is how i picture this

There we go, someone got it.
Honestly my jaw dropped at that part😂

A little happiness in these times, I'm so glad you did this. I had goosebumps the entire time, this is the best part of my childhood for sure
This brought so many memories back... Like, i'm tearing up
This is just gorgeous… oh man… here I go - Watching the movies all over again…
This was awesome. I loved hearing all the melodies I've always loved, especially the ones that never get used in any cover like Flying with Mother or Dragon Racing. This was truly an unexpected gift and I really hope to see more HTTYD in the future.
that moment at 3:37 is so magical and beautiful! beautiful arrangement!
This is the type of arrangement and Instrumentation I think of when I think of your work Rush, and the type that drew me to your channel, excellent work!
This was in my recommended, and tbh, TH-cam did a good today
Holy shit... I was consumed by this orchestration from the first second, touched to the very soul... HTTYD always had special place in my heart along with music of John Powel, and I almost forgot what unimaginable feeling of joy this soundtrack brings, especially when you didn't hear it for a while, but this... Rush, you got the vibe perfectly, this is amazing
Found this is my recommendation and I'm grateful for it. This brings me back to when I was obsessed with this franchise, I still am now, but I still remember those days of when I would day dream of when dragons would come back.
I can already feel the music take me on a sky high journey. Im already smiling like crazy at how phenomenal this piece is! Amazing work!
I can't begin to describe how empowering this song is. It elevates my spirits beyond belief and reminds me of my strength within. This is truly an extraordinary piece beyond measure.
I can’t express in words my love for these films. They changed my life. I don’t know why, I can’t figure out why they’re so special to me, all I know is that these movies shaped my childhood and made me the person I am today.
2:13-2:30 my favorite part 🔥
I cannot thank you enough for making this. This is how I found and got into your channel. This movie holds a deep sentimental value to me and thus much of its affeliated content. Yes I know John Powell already made this an orchestral masterpiece but that's no compromise on your own masterful rendition of a DW classic. You will never know the end product till you make its foundation.
I'm no professional musician, or even a hobbyist musician, but this arrangement was sending shivers down my spine and giving me goosebumps along my arms in the same way the original soundtrack did. I think saying that's enough to tell you how I feel about this arrangement.
Excellent work.
Well, this is a premiere I really regret missing XD These movies and the books were a huge part of my childhood, and I absolutely adore all three movie soundtracks. This is a great orchestration, I love how it adds even more of a Celtic theme. Great tribute! Thanks for the awesome songs! :D
Edit: Cotton fluff, I was hoping for Dancing and Dreaming and it still caught me off guard XD That was a beautiful transition into the song, my goodness!!
I cant tell you how much I love this. I've grown up with httyd, started watching when I was 6 and the last movie came out right around when I was turning 13. It makes me really emotional because it's something I loved so much as a child and now the series has ended right as I became a teenager. As a teen getting older and being introduced to the stressors of adulthood(as well as a lot of mental health issues), I can feel my childhood slipping away and the end of this series kinda finalizes it. It's scary getting older and sometimes it can feel so hopeless, the thought that I'll never be a careless kid again. I still watch the movies but have a hard time making it through without crying lol. This video brings tears to my eyes but also brings me back to being a kid. Thankyou.
"So, is this specifically the first movie, or..."
*For the Dancing and the Dreaming*
"Understood, have a great day"
Thank you for bringing these feeling back to me. It means so much to me to hear these songs as the How to Train Your Dragon series means so much to me. It's been my favourite and most impactful series as a kid and it brings so much joy and happiness to me. I needed this today. So again thank you.
Ive been waiting for this!!!
I got CHILLS~!! It got the viking music aesthetic down pat, sprinkled with orchestra magic and it's EPIC!
Ceci est le plus grand art jamais connu, votre musique est incroyablement inspirante ! Merci pour votre travail ❤ c’est magnifique
With a bunch of these here in one short video it made me realize just how many iconic melodies HTTYD has. I can tell the scenes they're from too. Kudos to John Powell! And you too!
AAHHHHH!!!! THAT WAS SO GOOD OMG! I love how you smushed everything together, there was the main theme, Toothless's theme, and For the Dancing and Dreaming hit me with the feels so hard. I especially enjoyed your transition at 1:42, it was just beautiful. I'm definitely going to listen to this on repeat.
I wasn't even a child when I saw this movie and its music still puts a reflexive smile on my face
Httyd is honestly one of my favorite movie series and this gave me chills!
You've earned a subscriber, the absolute joy I feel just closing my eyes and listening brings back that touch of magic and wonder I had when I first saw Hiccup and toothless fly together.
I don't think the creators realise how much this trilogy has impacted people's childhoods and in some cases, their lives.
I’m crying and so are you the memory’s will never fade I love this show / movies so much I know so much and will never forget when I have kids this is what they will watch
Finally got the courage to listen to it, it's hard for me to listen to these kinds of things because HTTYD impacted me so much, I hate getting overly emotional but this was truly awesome to listen to!
Absolutely the same 😅
I teared up at For the Dancing and the Dreaming..
This franchise and it's music means so bloody much to me. It wasn't really my childhood as I'm a '98 kid, but I still grew up with it. I have my issues with it (Drago really should have returned in The Hidden World), but I love it regardless.
I'll always love HTTYD. It's one of a few continuum's through my life that's truly helped me, given me escapism from my troubles. And Powell's music chimed perfectly at every moment.
This whole arrangement made me smile so big that I think my family might be concerned but oh well at least I have this to repeat till I die 💜
Probably the best Cinematic Franchise ever made. Not because of the quality of the story or that it made 3 great sequential movies. But by the fact that it Matured over the years alongside the audience, it was first presented to.
This is my childhood! I miss how to train your dragon I grew up on it! And it got me into my love of dragons and mythical creatures this music means so much to me! Thank you!!!
Now you make me want to rewatch the series and the movies..... and feel the emotions all over again
I have no idea on how to properly verbalize how I felt towards this very piece. It gives me so many emotions simultaneously that it is hard to describe them one by one. Being a HTTYD fan myself, this song rocked me to the core. And for this, thank you, Rush Garcia.
Please like this whenever you come across this so I can feel the same awe that I felt listening to this again.
