“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you” has lived rent-free in my head ever since I saw this movie in theaters when I was 16.

The "A mother never forgets" scene was in the first TRAILER for this movie, spoiling tons of people months in advance. Utterly baffling decision by the marketing team.

The role of Valka was written specifically for Cate Blanchett

SPOILERS. That whole sequence with Stoick's death, his funeral and Hiccup rejection of Toothless give me goose bumps every freakin' time and I've watched this movie 10 times at least. Those ninjas with knives and onions are ruthless. One of my favourite movies of all time. Thank You.

“What kind of blanket is that?” It’s dragon scales, Stephanie. Specifically Night Fury scales. Implying Drago wiped out a whole bunch of Toothless’s species and family.

you’d DEFINITELY love the animated series that are in between the first and second movie. there’s soo much lore, new dragons, relationship building and characters that are in the series the first one is when they’re still teens and the second is in their 20s

"where do you get your flamethrower?" Hiccup´s fire sword is actually called Inferno, and the how he created it isone of the few missing links that are explained in the T.V show, also I would recommend watching the shortfil Gift of the Night Fury, since it got a few callbacks in the franchise here and there

ah yes the movie where Hiccup becomes a padawan

16:26 "i don't understand the logic behind the chains on the tusks" Drago would have had the bewilderbeast captive since it was very young, and those chains have probably stayed on its tusks for its entire life. The weapon drago uses is called a bull hook, and it's what people use in real life to abuse baby elephants so they stay obedient even when they grow up.

Possibly my favorite film trilogy. I just love these movies. If you have time and interest you should check out the How To Train Your Dragon: Race to the Edge tv show. The characters get a whole lot more development there. We have entire episodes focused on the side characters.

First time I’ve seen a reacting channel that said "poor dragon, its not his fault"🥺❤️

This is my personal favorite movie of the trilogy

During the first flying scene, they are working closely together. Hiccup is riding the thermals which Toothless creates with his fireballs.

2:37 Toothless is using burst of flame to create a pocket of warmer air that gives Hickup a boost, prolonging the flight. the animation is so great, you can even se the ripples of hot air!

I honestly loved this movie so much. The soundtrack, and animation and colors. All of it. My favorite part was definitely Toothless challenging the alpha. It felt so empowering. I am so glad you decided to watch this trilogy.

If Stoic's death hurts, imagine if you had watched the TV series that took place between the two movies. You get to see him more. Get to know him better 😢 While I prefer the first one, this is still a great sequel. Sad reality is... the Bewilderbeast's abuse is more real than you can imagine. Think elephants. So much torture when young makes them believe they can't do anything about it, not even when they're fully grown and could easily overpower humans if they wanted to.

Many of the changes came from the TV series (8 seasons in total) set between the 1st 2 movies.

This one is personally my least favorite of the trilogy (not that it's bad or anything, far from it, I just like the 1st and 3rd ones better). One thing I will say though, is the weight of the loss in this movie is crazy to think about within the context of the franchise. I mean just think for a second, for a small amount of time, Hiccup had his father, his mother, his dragon (who's his best friend) and then moments later the villain takes two of those things from him! One temporarily and one permanently. Man, Stoik's death is always hard to watch!

Stephanie would LOOOOVE the How to Train your Dragon animated series. Plus, she should react to it! 🐉

11:28 That Smile! 😊

😎👍 You're always fun to watch. The "Shrek," "Madagascar," and "Kung Fu Panda" franchises might all be fun, but THIS trilogy is definitely the jewel in Dreamworks Animation's crown. 🐉 A lot of the studio's other enormously entertaining movies are one-offs like "Over The Hedge" (2006), "Flushed Away" (2006) and "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" (2014).

I'm seconding everyone's comment who mentioned you should watch the TV series. It's so good!! And not a lot of people have done reactions on it. I'd definitely tune in for every video!

The chains on Drago's Bewilderbeast were used to pull his ship

If you want to go skydiving, going to an indoor wind tunnel like iFly is a great place to start!

16:25 I think they're less to chain the Bewilderbeast to the ships, but more to chain the ships to it so it can pull them along.

Yes that's Cate Blanchette as Valka i love Kit Herrington as Eret son of Eret i find it funny he says "what game are you playing?" Hiccup should have said "game of Thrones" 😅🤣😂

13:05 Stephanie: "Sup Babe?" killed me 😂😂

To explain, Drago basically captured the other Bewilderbeast while it was a baby, and kept it chained and abused while still a baby to the point that it developed learned helplessness as an adult in much the same way elephants were trained in circuses.

The music and beauty of the scenery are amazing. My only hiccups (pun intended) are the 2 random powerups Toothless got. His spine wings and the end when he's blue

i like to say the whole sheep game is their version of Quidditch lol as each sheep is worth certain points and the black one seems to be their version of the golden snitch lol

The HTTYD movies are among my absolute favorite movies of all time, regardless of genre, animated or not.

This is literally my favourite movie ever I love it sm 😭 21:24 btw hiccup is 20 yrs old here 😅

theres 2 tv shows between 1 and 2

There is an animated holiday short called gift of the night fury that you should watch. Its adorable

Please please please I’m begging you should watch the tv show they have (riders of bed, defenders of Berk, and Race to the edge) I swear on my life they’re some of the best shows ever made

Toothless doesn’t shoot fire. He shoots plasma that is capable of burning through all metals except tungsten

Drago abused the bewilderbeast since young with a bullhook, I feel really bad for it. Thankfully Drago drowned because he lost his prosthetic and couldn't swim.

I Used To Have A Crush On Hiccup When I Was 18 Before The Second Movie Of HTTYD Came Out.

Oh boy, time to cry 😭

21:25 Hiccup Can Do This.

I know you don’t typically do trailers but would love to see your take on the avatar last airbender live action teaser

I like to think the at after becoming alpha Toothless made Cloud Jumper his #2

Okay. So, I love the first movie. The second one I enjoy a lot and the third was very well done. I love the franchise. Having said that...I remember watching the first two movies around when they came out. I hadn't watched them since then. And before the third one came out I had decided to re-watch them. And I saw that there was a show that took place between the first two movies and that it was still going. So, I decided to watch the first movie, then watched the entire show, then re-watch the second movie all before the third came out. Suffice to say that I didn't make it in time to see the third movie in theaters and I was sad about that. By the time I got to the second movie, which I barely remembered, I was excited to see if any of the character development from the shows continued on in the second movie, but of course, since the movie was made before shows finished, that couldn't have happened. I noticed some things happened fast at the end of the show that were meant to connect to what happened in the movie and I understood that. But, what I was then excited for was the potential for the third movie to involve the vast lore and character development and threads from the show(s) into the final movie because the show had ended or would have been close to ending before the movie came out. I thought that was a reasonable expectation, once again, nope. There were dragons from the show in the third movie, but nothing else carried over. And that really kind of let me down. I loved the growth of the characters during each season of the show, there was even a small time-jump. And I understand that the show and the movies were essentially different teams making each, but I just enjoy lore and characters being well-developed, if you couldn't tell. And now there's a spin-off show that takes place in present day that seems to be spinning out of the show, but I guess it's from both the movies and shows, and I really have been enjoying it too. It takes a while to connect the dots but it gets there. But yes, if you just watch the movies on their own, they mesh perfectly and and certainly worth the watch, but if you want a bit more lore-building and want to see the kids map out the islands and meet all the different dragon species, I'd certainly suggest watching the show. And as I mentioned before, there is a lot of character development that kind of gets sidelined in the 2nd and 3rd movies, but eh. The order of the seasons is: Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, and then the last season is called Race to the Edge. And even if you don't watch the show, I'd still suggest the Dragons: The Nine Realms sequel series that takes place in modern times, as mentioned before. Oh and there is a little epilogue movie that takes place "after" the third movie. So, after you get to the third one, there's that if you want. I'd give the show(s) a chance too. But either way, I love this franchise and I hope the current show goes on for a while longer. Sorry for the huge text chunk! XD

What is the name of the track for your theme music at the end of your video? Is there an mp3/m4a of it? I love it so much.

DRAGO YOU MONSTER 😡😡😡😡

2:59 Yes They Did! 5 Years Of Heredity Caught Up With Hiccup. 😳

He could not fly out of the water cause he needs hiccup to fly

Romeo and Juliette who? For me it’s Stoic and Valka all the way 🥲

They probably knew about the cave already planned it for ages

Eh HTTYD 2 is overrated nowadays httyd 3 is my personal favorite and it doesnt deserve the hate

So I just wanted you to know, I literally just started the video (like, I paused it at 0:02) but I started to get watery-eyed *✨IMMEDIATELY✨* when I saw that this was posted… how are you doing? You good? I imagine that you’re going to need a hug by the end of the video… 🫂
