now you have to watch all the movies lmao

They remind me more of cats than dogs, tbh. The way they spin to lay down, they purr, their jumping movements and the way their pupils expand when they are hunting or interested is just like cats. In fact I believe the animators based them off of cats, lol.

The way they describe a night fury as "the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself" still gives me chills

Watching adults get excited over animation films will always be my favorite ☺️. Also calling her Asgard is hilarious 😂

Fun fact about Toothless, when Astrid first rode him, the reason he was flying all crazy was because he was waiting for her to apologize to Hiccup. Same for when his dad approached him when he thought his son had died. Toothless didn't show he saved Hiccup until Stoick said he was sorry. I thought it was the most adorable bond between them.

Your one of the few reactors who noticed Stoick's shock and backstep. I love Stoick's response after his harsh words to Hiccup, shocked and regretful but continues onward as required of him. Without that it would be easy to hate Stoick for the rest of the film.

Fun fact for you: the scene where toothless hesitates to put his face into hiccups hand was actually an accident. There was a glitch in the animation software which made toothless seem like he was hesitating, but it was a happy accident.

Bro ı cannot believe there is still people who haven't witness with this masterpiece.

32:10 very few reactors catch this moment. I am glad you did. Stoic made a bad decision, it hurt him as well

This is one of the best DreamWorks movie in my opinion. I'm so glad to see your reaction

The dragons in this feel like mixtures between cat/dogs and crows. Crows will form a bond with people who give them food, and are intelligent enough to use tools and recognize individuals. Pair that with the way dogs and some cats act, and you get the personalities of the dragons in this movie

I love this trilogy. The music is a masterpiece.

9:52 I love that in the middle of this tense moment you take a second to appreciate the amazing animation.

The seasons are incredible - some of the most interesting dragons and characters (Viggo, Dagur) which get a lot more development than the movies.

The thing about Hiccup being a blacksmith when he can't lift a hammer. He can lift a hammer (he has one he uses in blacksmithing), he just can't FIGHT with a hammer.

You know when Toothless was drawing? He actually drew a side-profile of Hiccup's head. Turn your head so that your chin points at the top. From the top right you can see his neck, pointing at the bottom right is his eye poking out of his head and his hair extending slightly off his forehead, and from there the hair wraps around the back of Hiccup's head. Its pretty cool.

22:22 the moment he realized why everyone loves How To Train Your Dragon

Just like that more people get to see this amazing franchise we all know and love. This series's was my childhood and always has a special place in my heart ❤

Don finally watching the best animated trilogy made 🙌🏻😂

Dragons are reptiles, so they shed scales regularly. What Hiccup picked up was a scale

The line "Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile." was actually improvised by Hiccup's VA, as was the "talking fishbone" rant.

The music, the emotional beats, the animation, such a good film. Yes the following films are also just as good, the animation continues to improve and they continue to try/succeed in making you cry

Now my brother , Your stepping into peak dream works right here

"It's Blacker Than Me" - hit me harder 😂

of all the people I've seen reacting you're one of a few who laughs at those sarcastic lines and I am enjoying lol

I’ve seen many adults react to this and ALL of them couldn’t figure out that toothless’ tail was ripped off when he was shot down… as a kid I knew that. Also some people even thought toothless wasn’t a nightfury until the dragon fight in the ring. Or they thought toothless was a “loser” in the dragon community.

I’m brand new to the channel, and MAN am I glad I’m here in time to catch this!!! This series is one of my all time favs, and a comfort series. They modeled toothless after a black cat, and boy does that make me love him more. I have my own black cat, Salem, who acts just like Toothless. He’ll respond to both Salem and toothless most days🥹😂😂 Thank you for starting this series!!!

6:44 This will always be one of the best lines in the movie, the jokes in this are some I've never seen before. Now that you, Reel Rejects and Blind Wave started watching these movies there's more for me to enjoy.

One thing I LOVE about Httyd, is that it shows that the dragons ARE ANIMALS. They have fear aggression when cornered, they can recognize good vs bad intentions, and generally act like an animal would in certain situations. Toothless took time to trust Hiccup, and only stopped showing agression (growling) when Hiccup got rid of his knife. Toothless knows that he was vunerable atm because of his tail, and even though Hiccup is small and weak he still had a weapon. He also has a PERSONALITY. Like pets do. He's playfull, he's sassy and he's occaionally clumsy. HE UNDERSTANDS APOLOGIES. Another example, when the Monsrtus Nightmare burst out of his cage, he first roared, then he quickly went aorund the arena to try and find a potential exit. He shot fire at the adult vikings, since THEY put him in there. Only once he realized he couldn't get out, did he start stalking towards Hiccup. Pay attention to their EYES. The eyes are very telling. Bigger, rounder, softer eyes/pupils meant their calmer, but like when Stoick slammed his hammer onto the cage, it startled the Monstrus Nightmare and he attacked, its pupils immediatly turning to slits.

That world is soo well made, all dragon use gas to shoot fire an they also use different fire. The lore and worldbuilding is more expended in the tv serie (we see all the dragon from the book in the serie) but with just the movie it is still perfectly fine. I still heavely suggest you watch the tv serie since it is canonicly between the 1st and 2nd movie but it isn't needed

It’s so funny that all the reactors I watch are STILL surprised that the Red Death can fly when the GRONKLE exists lmao

This is one of the best animated movie series of all time, I can't wait for your future reactions and possible tears on the third if you almost cried on this one😂

Just a heads up. Before you get to the second movie, you have to watch the shows. They are amazing and happen between the first and second movie.

I'll never get tired of watching people react to this masterpiece of a trilogy

I remember watching this movie years ago with my sister for the first time and let me tell you something... When I heard that they are going to make a second movie I WAS SOOOO HYPED UP I can't even describe it to you... Amazing, just amazing...

W choice Don, this is so 1 of DreamWorks's best works, you so have to watch the trilogy in it's entirety

LETS F-ING GOOO!!!! iv waited so long for this peak lol

The Night Fury dragon species were meant to be based off of both cats and dogs, they look like cats and have behaviours of both cats and dogs and their Dragon breath is the combination of lightning and fire which is plasma. Also some of the dragons seen in the dragon manual that Hiccup read is only seen in the TV Series, which takes place between Part 1 and Part 2, not saying that you HAVE to watch it, but it's up to you whether or not you want to watch the Series or go straight to Part 2, but if you ever decide to watch the Series, then watch it before watching HTTYD2. Also have you ever watched Twilight?

I just want to say that i love your content, keep up the good work 💯

im so damn glad ur reacting to the how to train ur dragon trilogy def one of the best animated trilogies or could even be the best imo also (the soundtrack is just amazing)

“This dragon blacker than me.” That really got me

Happy to see my fav series being watched again

The show explains everything that happens between the 1st and the second movie

I love the scene at the end when Hiccup is leaning on toothless as they walk out of the house. It shows the parallel between toothless losing his tail because of Hiccup and Hiccup losing his foot because of toothless (he bites it to catch him)

I need to have more faith in u Don...I thought u wouldn't even watch this since I expected you to to watch it after Kung Fu panda, but u actually did. One of my favs

the series, especially "Race to the Edge" are a major addition of content and are worth watching so I would advise you to do so

14:28 There where no dragons during ancient civilizations but there was a reason why they where depicted in mythology. Its documented that ancient greeks and part of medieval Europe found dinosaur bones and they try to recreate them without prior knowledge about dinosaurs, so, they just gather all the fossiles they found and put them together, some of these ended up being bones from pterodactyl and land predators, starting the legends of giant reptiles with wings. This is also might be the reason why different civilizations portrait dragons in different ways, they probably just found dinosaur fossiles and try to recreate them as well, the reason why chinesse dragons are like serpents, viking dragons don't have front legs and so on.

hope you watch the 2nd movie within the next 3 or 4 weeks, its very good

Im so happy to see this movie get the recognition of youtubers and such. It was seriously the best animated movie in my opinion. The stkryline, the jokes, the raw emotions, the music. It all came in masterfully.

this series is my special interest so its always so fun to see new people getting into it. its perfectly fine to watch all three movies first before the tv shows, though I highly recommend them. there are several short films taking place at various points including one about the bonenapper. then there are the first two shows dragons riders of berk and defenders of berk, these follow the Vikings getting used to living with the dragons during the first year and introduces some new dragons and villains. then theres race to the edge, it has 6 seasons and has one of the best animated villains I've ever seen so I highly recommend it however you do need to watch the two prior series for it to make sense. it introduces a ton of new dragons and human antagonists and does a hell of a lot of world building, its set about a year or two before the second movie however the show aired after the 2nd movie released so its fine to watch it after. then theres a newer show called the nine realms (I think) which is probable left better unwatched cuz its hated by a lot of fans. theres also a show for little kids but no one really talks about it.

Well now you have to watch the second one because it is absolutely AMAZINGGGG

16:55 fun fact toothless was inspired by the creators cat so that’s why he’s very animal like

A really cute detail about this movie is that in the beginning, Hiccup describes Berk as a really cool place, and says that the only problem is the dragons, but in the end he does the complete opposite and describes the island as a horrible place and the only positive point are the dragons

This is in my top 10 movies of all time and your reactions were genuinely jokes and you picked up on some things most people missed.

On god your reactions are top-tier man. Can't wait for your reaction to the next two movies.

You payed attention through the whole movie 💙 Thank you so much for your amazing reaction :) I enjoyed it ALOT! "Bless you" comes so sweet out of you 💙😄

It still baffles me that there are people who haven't seen the httyd franchise yet. it was such an impactful part of my life growing up and i got a toothless tatto the day of my 18th bday. it's completely changed my life without a doubt an its my favorite movie of all time. Glad you saw it!

“They’re literally like dogs” Well, like Cats to be more precise… And Toothless movements were based of the cat of the director I believe it was🤔; then the lil green one Purrs as it lays by Hiccup’s side

3:57 "To get something you've never had you'll have to do something you've never done"

Toothless movements and body outlined was based off of the artists cat. Toothless was inspired by a black panther screensaver on one of the story artists monitors.

42:35 fun fact they both at the end of the movie are missing a piece off the left side of their body left tail flap and left foot

I'm so glad this came up on my feed today. This is one of my favourite movies And you have the best energy through this video. I had so much fun waiting for you to get to each scene. It was like I was watching it for the first time all over again! Thanks :)

i love the random names you come up with when you forget, “chunky” “asgard” 😭😭😭

Bro I'm literally re watching this movie rn on my TV the timing is insane 😂😂

this trilogy only gets better as it goes on!

You weren't quite wrong eith the dragons being like dogs. It's actually confirmed that most of Toothless' behavior was based on that of cats

The scene where he goes to bonds with Toothless and that small hesitation is actually a glitch they kept

Funny story, I watched your reactions in reverse order so it’s hilarious to see you get jumpscared by Toothless so much.

Race To The Edge is the best of the TV series and takes place between movie 1 and movie 2. It's on Netflix and is honestly one of the best TV shows I have seen in a while, when it comes to franchise related, animated series

So happy you're watching this

Not the “that’s blacker than me..ohh” at 9:19 😭💀

22:55 bro they literally based on cats movements and behavior to animate Toothless

Fun fact about the movie Toothless was based off the directors cat

"do characters die in disney movies?" i actually laughed out loud Don

Fun fact: the scene where Hiccup holds his hand out for toothless (18 minute mark), toothless hesitancy was actually an animation error. Everyone thought it fitted the scene (which is does) so they just left it in)

This is my perfect trilogy, I've rewatched these so many times, you're in for a ride

Toothless is based mainly off a cat!😊

One of my fav childhood series. You will love each movie.

This trilogy is amazing

Toothless is actually based off of cats, which is so cute

As a scandinavian I love this viking movie.

Great reaction! I hope you consider reacting to the series and the movies. In my opinion, watching the series makes the movies make sense more. Even if you don't, I hope you still enjoy 😊

I'm so happy you liked it! These are my favourite animated movies and no new production can beat them for me

I just have to say I love your reactions they always put a smile in my face and are a good time!

100 percent my favorite animated trilogy ever. It never gets old!

One of the few perfect trilogies. You're gonna love this.

Finally!!I Was just thinking about you reacting to this today ❤❤🎉

BRO THIS MOVIE IS SOOO FIRE them flying scenes always have me gassed

please do the second one of this because it stole my heart

So glad you reacted to this Don, I swear it was like revisiting my childhood☺

All three movies are amazing🔥🔥🔥 personal favorite is part 2 👌🏾

Love these movies. If u got teary eyed on this just wait. The next movie is even better by a mile and a lot of ppl including myself cried watching it

Her name is „Astrid“ pronounced Ustrid (like in just). Meaning: „Divinely beautiful; beloved of the gods.“ Currently there is a Princess Astrid of Belgium (61 y), named after her grandmother queen (consort) Astrid. I was thrilled there is film character of the name. It‘s my first name as well.

Fun Fact: toothless's movements were based off of a black cat owned by one of the writers!! Also, for the part where toothless tried to shake off the tail and jumps and flails around, he put a duct tape piece on its tail and recorded it flailing!

41:30 is probably one of my favorite pieces of voice acting of all time! the voice crack, the emotion! i start crying every time

Love you and all your great reactions ❤️

37:37 Hiccup would not of been up on the cliff for long until Astrid knocked him out. a couple of hours to gather everyone and then they can fly direct to the island without having to navagaite the fog. And then the vikings spend a bit of time getting ready before fighting.

your laugh is contagious man omg

i love the continuous "hes like a dog" while acting catlike.. lol

My dude! If you love all things Viking you should do the series The Last Kingdom. Starts off in the days just before Alfred the Great takes the throne and the protagonist, Uhtred, is a Saxon who was captured as a child and raised as a Dane (they use the more historically accurate Dane instead of Viking) but who is forced by circumstance to return to his roots. Great series with superb acting and writing.
