for me i first watched it as soon as it hit home release cause my dad had gotten it along with a bunch of other movies for cheap from a discount video store and was a computer wiz programmer who copied all of them to a server that he had connected to the xbox 360 and for little like 9 to 10 year old me being a kid with high functioning autism and adhd and a childhood up to that point that had made me ridiculously independant and mature for my age to the point that i would say that 12 was were i hit the maturity most people have by the time they're at least 30 and i felt weird and awkward not being even close to how well, childish my friends were wanting to do this stupid thing or that idiotic thing but only being dragged along cause part of me thought fitting in was better than being me and seeing that first HTTYD movie was so impactful for me that i legit watched it so many times my sisters banned the movie unless they werent around to be forced to watch it literally the few hundredth time....... what i like more tho is that you can look at all 3 as one full complete mega movie almost and having watched each one as it came out with my age being so close to hiccup in them especially now as im 21 years old, the third movie especially made me sad that this trilogy had ended but its end was so perfect showing that when we grow up there are choices we have to make as adults that are best for those around us and those we love and that often means giving up on certian things from our childhood whether that be attitude or short fuse or maybe a sport you liked playing on a school team or maybe just the things you loved as a kid not being the same things you love as an adult but that doesnt mean you have to lock them away forever. that childish side of you is always allowed to come back when you want to have some fun for yourself or with those you love like perhaps showing YOUR kids something you loved as a kid to hopefully give them that same joy you loved so dearly...

6:37 XD i made my comment at the start but it seems we feel the same about this : )

What are you 10? 😂

i love httyd i have seen rtte 5 times going on 6 I have a probleme I actuly was interdused to the franchise by the second moviee but cant pick a favorit i think my favorit dragon is probably bewilderbeast or armor wing

Follows the themes of making peace with your flaws and growing stronger from them.

Where did you hear that?

This made my day better

this just made me so happy.

I'm not sure about that. I remember they mentioned it on the commentary, saying that the animator made Toothless lean forward before catching himself, only to lean into his hand anyway. That said, it could still be a glitch, but I think both versions fit well.

Trueeee

He also kinda looked like infinity war steve Rogers at the end of httyd 3. With the beard and all.

But ha doesnt change with drugs

bearded reminds me of PewDiePie

Dang it, I was gonna say that.

Yeah, it's ironically funny how it's super sunny when they capture toothless and Hiccup loses everything lmao

That's bc it rains nine months of the year and hails the other three

@@expiredmilk5435Thing is, as an avid HTTYD fan, there’s barely any times when Berk actually has snow or ice on it apart from very few moments in movies or episodes in the TV shows. Most of the time it just looks kinda calm and temperate. The kinda place that would be nice to walk in the woods, etc…

@@xenomorphbiologist-xx1214 yeah idk why they say that in the beginning and end of the movie but don't show it

@@expiredmilk5435 Yep. One thing I will say is that when it does snow, it goes hard. In the episode with the speed stingers, the entire ocean freezes and forms a land bridge. This sort of implies that this kind of thing happens offscreen during winter

Stoic and Valka's reunion in the second movie gets me everytime; the sheer jaw dropping, pure, uncomplicated, astonished, forgiving gratitude on Stoic's face as he slowly, inexorably walks towards her, like walking towards the gates of Heaven, and her half-hearted readiness rapidly tilting towards eagerness bordering on desperation, to start an argument to defend choices Stoic already, unspokenly, forgives, doesn't even care about; why she it there is beyond him at that moment, only THAT she is there, rather than face all this she could see in his eyes is perfect.

“You can’t stop him Stoic, you can only prepare him. The truth is you’re not always going to be around to protect him. He’s going to get out there again, he’s probably out there now.”

Funny seein you here, Mr. John Wilkes Boothe

I never paid attention to that scene as a kid. It's something of which I only started seeing the nuances when I became an adult, and that rewatch value is what makes a film one of my favorites

nobody here can spell Stoick

Sticks and Stones, Test Flight, and Where no one goes are my favorite. And the last movie of this trilogy I consider is the perfect ending for it.

Honestly I don't really like the score throughout the HTTYD movies. While I absolutely love the romantic flight and test drive songs, I find that almost the entire soundtrack is just the same theme over and over again with slight variations. It's a really good base theme, but there's not enough different themes.

@@sebastianjost everyone’s has there own opinion. I must say it’s very common amongst Dreamworks animated movies. Especially Kung Fu Panda

@@sebastianjost so just to sum it up, the entire soundtrack introduced a character and assigned them a theme song. It was just the idea they went with, and did really cool things with it. Like the main theme flying through the rocks in the first movie had toothless’ soundtrack combined with the Vikings theme song to make one big score that connected the two groups together. It was repetitive for a reason, but obviously doesn’t appeal to everyone

Good to see that in recent years animated media is not just shrugged off as something made purely for kids but as a mode of expression that has a surface layer that kids surely will enjoy but has many subsurface layers that teenagers, adults and people of all ages can understand and relate to. Glad to see that the industry is changing. I'm also glad to see that studios are making animated content purely for teenagers and adults. Arcane, Entergalactic and I Lost My Body are some examples of movies made for teenagers and adults with stunning visuals.

i heard somewhere that they used cat photage for toothless' movement hahah

Toothless is heavily based off of cats. My mom said it best. "They're cats with wings".

@Sofia Laya Yes it is, one of the staff (in the making of the special short "gift of the night fury") attached a clip on her cat's tail and recorded the reaction, which was used as a reference for the animation

We have a little black cat with green eyes and her nickname is toothless

I heard he's based on cats, dogs, and birds

19:56

And the hes tries to slam the door shut but it bounces slightly open again. I think that adds to the hesitation when he walks out because it’s almost like he’s got a chance to go back to hiccup and apologise. He regrets what he said. It shows hiccup still has hope, and Stoic doesn’t truly despise him. Idk just me 🤷‍♂️

@@henryturner2258I think you’re right, what we’ve come to expect is the door slamming shut. it always catches me off guard even tho I’ve seen this movie countless times, the door slams shut then it opens again, I think that was a deliberate choice to make sure the door opens again after it is closed. Couple that with the shot of Stoick staggering back after he realizes the weight of what he just did, and it’s almost guaranteed that the door still being open has significance.

the animation is so good you can actually see his tears in his eyes. the great stoic with tears

I actually cried because of that scene, idk why but that sort of bond between father and son always gets me, so when Stoic dies in the second film I cried even worse.

Couldn’t agree more. Definitely my favorite sound track of all time. It means sooooo much to me and I can’t really express how many emotions that piece can make you feel.

Oml yes That is such a good series

As a long time fan I can agree except for httyd 3.that one was yikes

@@MegaBond101 The third one has a little too many events going on. The plot twist is much easier to predict when compared to the last 2 films. We didn't get much character interaction because it focuses more on toothless's love story. Nonetheless, I wouldn't say it was disappointing. We all know that was the best possible ending for the trilogy.

Race to the edge has some questions that need answered like what happened to Heather and Dagger what where they during the events of How to Train Your 2 3

I love humor in series, especially gober’s the plot twists are so well made I’ll highlight the one with Gustaf. I thought he was imposter but then he did everything to beat up hunters with hiccup

So sad to hear that! Hopefully they can change their minds eventually:)

Htty3 was super worthy to see in theaters. It looked so pretty. People shouldbe more openminded and not think everythink is just for kids. Like I still like to go sledding hill with friends. Or with just friend least I have one who knows how to have fun.

HTTYD 3 looked amazing in 3D in the cinema!

Forced my ex gf to watch it with me when it came out 😂 she had no clue what was going on but I was having a great time

Saaaaaame I went with 3 friends who didn’t rlly care abt httyd and they couldn’t understand when i left the theatre bawling my eyes out

i think its the other way around but either way i agree

It is the other way around, toothless' theme is test drive, we know this because when he is doing the air brake scene after they start falling from their first flight (as you said, toothless was in control), and when he was caught in the net, a slower version of his theme plays, his theme is purely melody, and strings, whereas hiccups is the big boomy brass, and supports toothless' theme, but I agree, it gives me goosebumps like no tomorrow, only brought this up for clarification

Wait what's the source material?

@ratofalady8125 it's a children's book series. Toothless was originally one of the small gremlin dragons and it followed Hiccup training his little dragon and describing all the different types of dragons. The art is identical to what we see in the dragon manual.

DreamWorks was always good at that. Not only Dragons but also movies like Rise of the guardians, Shrek Captain underpants and newly also Bad Guys

honestly, my mom and i read the book and we really didn’t like it much, but then we watched the movie and went “wow, that was incredible”.

It's not phenomenal. It's best.

​@@mirromarnicco3162 Uhm that's the same?

forbidden friendship isnt getting enough love, you should listen it its amazing

@@timhijenga695 yeeees omg and also romantic flight these are my top 3

@@selinas4846 sameee

What moment in test drive, I think I know but not sure

@@Capybara2240 After the Part When Hiccup and Toothless fell and then rose up again

Also, after rechecking, he still had them in the 3rd movie, which is really cool

Stoick didn't need to change honestly, he meant well because he didn't want to lose anymore family (he assumed his wife died because of dragons) so it's understandable why he was so stubborn. He simply just needed to let go of his grief and listen to Hiccup for it.

I think that was one of the underlying themes of the movie - the fighting appearance of some of the dragons could almost be a standin for how different groups of people often fear each other, seeing "the other" as monsters when, in truth, they're just people, with more fundamentally in common than different. It was ignorance of why the dragons were raiding the village that lead to so many vikings and dragons killing each other in the movie, a knowledge that lead to resolving it, to Vikings and dragons even living side by side, not unlike how it's often ignorance, lack of understanding, that leads to so many conflicts and division among people in the real world.

Httyd 3 sucks

@@eageltheYTman I don’t care lol

What’s number 2? Also, for me, the top 3 movies of all time are httyd 2, httyd 1, and Lego movie lol

@@jamesstevens5468 i think httyd overrated, httyd1 is in my top 10 moviez

@@alphaareus you dont care but tis true lmao Kung fu Panda >>>>>>>>>>

I assume you mean the youtuber “Sideways” indeed a very good video, made me appreciate the music even more

Omg i wish i could watch it for the first time again. I first watched it when the first movie came out and I‘ve been obsessed ever since.

I'm 7 months late to reply but welcome to the fandom! If you haven't seen them already I bet you'll enjoy the series as well: Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, and Race to the Edge is my all time favorite!

@@liyuan492 i actually started rewatching race ti the edge just yesterday, and i literally watched it just this summer

@@liyuan492 Thanks, and I’ve seen it all at this point, love every aspect of this franchise. Every movie, show, short and everything in between, I love it all!

@@schon2395 they even released a Christmas movie a year or more ago, you should watch it :)

It is truly an incredibly special film

I mean, I don’t like how hypocrites the villagers are, but besides that it’s so good

@@dilaisy_loone2846 How are the villagers hypocritical?

*Riders of Berk/Defenders of Berk.

@@willfanofmanyii3751 I feel like people forget about riders and defenders

I agree sometimes I just like to grab some food and relax with Hiccup and the dragon riders. Especially the tv series.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you have support and people who care about you.

😂

And you were right!

Test Drive, Forbidden Friendship, and Romantic Flight are all contenders for the greatest scenes I've ever seen in cinema.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I’m currently writing a graphic novel and I’d be lying if I said the inspiration from Dragons wasn’t there. Keep creating! I’m sure your story will be amazing

also, as someone who over analyzes movements in shows, i LOVED the small details in everything. small blinks, staggering steps, the weight of carrying things, it's all so detailed. and in that first flying scene, you can see Hiccup almost pulling on the saddle to help Toothless make some turns. i love how well they fly together just. y e s

finally someone brings up prince of egypt. The best animated movie ever in my opinion, but weirdly overshadowed by shrek
