The theory of how hiccup lost his leg is interesting. As he was falling, toothless had to grab whatever he could to save him. And doing that he ended up grabbing his leg and pulling him close to save him which ended up removing his leg. I actually really like that because not only are they both missing a part on their left side, they both caused each other to lose that part giving another reason why their bond is so strong and they always stay together.

Toothless is the living combination of a cat and a fighter jet and I love it ❤️

Fun fact: the flight in this movie is so accurate it is used by biologists to teach. The animators did a phenomenal job researching and referencing actually flying species.

I really appreciate that even before Stoick apologized, you could see him stagger at the realization of what he'd said!

Fun fact there was a bunch of debate among the animators on whether to model the dragons' behavior (toothless, more specifically) on cats or dogs. They eventually decided on a mix of both and some other larger animals as well

Random fact: Toothless' fastest ever recorded speed was approximately 950+mph, measured by the supersonic "mach cone" surrounding his body in the short clip. That is faster than a modern fighter jet's cruising speed. Also, Toothless is the only dragon in the movie to use an acetylene-oxygen charge to create 'plasma blasts' rather than the red fire other dragons use. For reference, plasma can reach up to 17,500° fahrenheit, whereas the red flames used with the monstrous nightmares tops out at a little under 2,000°

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I recall correctly, the "Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile." line was ad-libbed by Jay Baruchel, and was kept in the final cut. One of two or three lines, I think.

7:54 I like how Hiccup describes Stoick's expectations like if he was ordering a burger.

1:04:54 Actually his leg is gone because Toothless had to bite into him at the last second to pull him close in time. He clarifies in the next movie when talking about how he took off Toothless’s fin. “We’ll, he got me back in the end.”

53:12 they NEEDED a dragon to safely navigate to the island with the nest, otherwise they might just end up sailing into a hotspot near it filled with dragons, if you noticed when Toothless kept turning his head on the boat THAT'S "him" navigating the safe spots, since he's done it before since "HE'S" a dragon, he has knowledge🧐💭💭.....

Toothless is a cat, Stormfly is a parrot (Astrid dragon), Hookfang is a crocodile (Snotlout dragon), Barf and Belch are snakes (Ruffnut and Tuffnut dragon) and Meatlug is a bumblebee (Fishlegs dragon). I mean, all the dragons species look like and all act like a particular animal. Love this movie so much❤

“Test Drive” easily one of the BEST soundtracks!! And the scene was stunningly beautiful.. watching it in 3D was just jaw dropping. The story, music, animation, characters perfection!!

I love the "you're not my son" scene, and the little shocked stagger he has once he's out of view like "Oh god, I didn't mean that".

You have to watch all 3 movies, they are so worth it. I grew up with this trilogy and it's just a masterpiece.

8:55 thank you hman and your words of wisdom.

Imagine a drug that turns you into a raging psychopath that kills everything in sight. That's what eels are to most dragons.

This is my favourite franchise of all time. I love everything about this world, and it's the one book adaptation that I rank higher than the source material. EDIT: You guys should absolutely watch the shows, and especially Race to the Edge! There's actually a couple references to them in the second and third films, and they do an amazing job of fleshing out the group's dynamic.

One of my favorite parts was the book of dragons scene. Just seeing all these different dragons that had yet to be seen in the franchise was awesome. Notice how after the lightning struck, the art of the dragons start to move.

I feel like part of why it looks so good for the year it came out is just how stylized everything is. Hiccup and Astrid are the closest to normal-looking people and even they are really stylized.

The thing with the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy is that it also has a bunch of animated series to fill the gaps between each movie, literally. Everything ties into each other like the MCU, only *better*. I don’t know if you guys plan on doing all the movies first before watching the shows but I would recommend trying to do everything in order of release to anyone. Still one of the best motion picture series to ever grace media

One of my favourite animated movies! It was perfect, perfect everything right down to the last minute details. Fr though the characters were written well,the designs and OST’s were great and the movie was just animated beautifully🤝🏾🤧

Fun fact: If you watch closely when Hiccup falls into the fire and Toothless goes after him, he stretches his first legs to grab him but his head was even close to Hussups limbs. In that case, Toothless most important thing was to save Hiccup and I think the only part where he grabbed him first was his leg so he accidentally chopped down the boy's leg just like he lost his tail wing by Hiccup

The reason the shots go so hard is because Roger freaking Deakins worked on the cinematography. Same guy who worked on Sicario and Blade Runner and No Country for Old Men. He's literally a legend in the industry for his beautiful camerawork.

8:55 that scared me more than it should've. That aside, so glad to see you watch this movie, it's my comfort universe. I actually don't even watch reactors usually cause I save the movie for when I need it, but y'all are my favourite reactors so just this once I'm breaking that rule😅 Also there is no 4th movie. There's three movies, 2 holiday shorts (on set after the first and one set after the third) 2 tv series all set in between the first and second, and the fourth movie you mentioned is a live action remake we're all nervous about.

I’m so happy that you guys watched this! This movie series is so good and I hope you guys enjoy the others! I’m also glad that you guys took my recommendation to watch this movie series (wasn’t sure if I was the only person that recommended this movie series but still), you guys are going to enjoy it!!!

Hman's silent patreon ad was honestly hilarious

You should deffinetly react to the two shows that take place in between the first and second movie. They are both cannon to the storyline. They are called: DRAGONS RIDERS OF BERK and DRAGONS RACE TO THE EDGE. I would really apreciate it. There both great shows that add so much dimetion to both the world and the caracters. 10/10 shows, defenitly one of my favorit shows. It is up there with Ben 10 for me. 😃

There are series defenders of Berk and riders of Berk and a series called Race to the Edge before the second movie! It gives insight to some of the dragons and items used in the second movie

There are a total of 8 season of the Dreamworks Dragons TV Series, Riders Of Berk, Defenders of Berk and six seasons of Dragons: Race to the Edge. The first two are post first film whereas Race to the Edge is set just before the second film which Hiccup being 19 years old. There are many dragons and characters introduced which are amazing.

The shows elevate this series so much

"Very old." Dude I know it feels like it's been a century the last few years but damn that made me feel old. My son watched this when he was in preschool.

So so glad you watched this, my favorite movie of all time, I could gush about every amazing thing, every detail, every fun fact, for ages. Especially the soundtrack, and absolute masterpiece in film orchestration, both as a standalone technical product and when viewed through a literary and symbolic lense. Flawless.

47:18 You just summarized the movie's entire premise and I love it.

If you like the dragons that you see in The Dragon's Manual, they appear in the series! Bettew the first (Dragons/Defenders from Berk) and the second (Rise to the Edge), you'll see all of them and more!

Another one of Dreamworks’ most phenomenal masterpieces. I love Hiccup, Astrid, and Toothless so much! 🥲♥️🐉

Im so glad you reacted to this. This movie and this series are some of my all time favorite movies. Not only that, but the trilogy is in conversation for the greatest trilogy of all time. I also recommend the two or so series that fill in the gaps between the movies. I also recommend going through to look at all the fan theories. They are super fun and interesting. And the director of the animated trilogy just announced they are doing a live action remake and he will direct. I think thats the "HTTYD 4" you mentioned at 1:50. The score is perfect! They even did a bunch of location scouting in the fjords that are just gorgeous.

If you wanna go all out: How To Train Your Dragon Riders of Berks (TV series) Defenders of Berk (TV series) Race to the Edge (Tv Series) How To Train Your Dragon 2 How To Train Your Dragon: The Forbidden World That's the entire series and story of Hiccup and Toothless. Number 4 is a touchy subject because the third movie rounded things out nicely and ended the trilogy.

This Movie along with Megamind and Shrek are among my favorite movies

I know it's doubtful they'll watch Riders/Defenders of Berk and Race To The Edge before the second and third movies, but it would be so cool if they did lol those series add So Much to the characters and their relationships with each other

Just so you know, there are actually a couple TV series and TV shorts that happen canonically between this and How To Train Your Dragon 2. I'd personally recommend watching through those as well, even if you do so after the second movie. Most of them (especially the series) are still worth a watch. Also, reaction videos to them are sadly rare since most reactors don't pay attention to them, choosing to only do the movies, so it would be great to see you guys react to them! They are as follows: Legend of the Boneknapper (1 half-length episode) Book of Dragons (1 half-length episode) Gift of the Night Fury (1 full-length episode/Christmas special) Dragons: Riders of Berk (20 Episode Season) Dragons: Defenders of Berk (Season 2 of "Riders of Berk") Dawn of the Dragon Riders (1 episode special) Dragons: Race to the Edge (6 seasons of 13 episodes) Most people end up watching the second movie before these, but the three series explain the big gap between the first and second movies. Out of the three series, I'd say Race to the Edge has the most effects that you can directly see the effects of in the 2nd movie, but they all have at least some impact.

Fun Fact: There is also 2 How To Train Your Dragon series as well as the movies! The first is How To Train Your Dragon Riders Of Berk and the second is How To Train Your Dragon Race To The Edge!! Both are very good and have a lot to do with parts of the second movie often giving tiny explanations for some things!

5:05 they had a whole new department for fire animation. They studied it and also build new softwares to properly animate fire and make it look realistic. Also for dragon flight scenes the animation team had aerodynamic lessons called “flying classes” but i think that may have been during the production of the 2nd movie i dont remember the details

the theme is just beauty

I was obsesses with this movie as a kid, I would legit watch it on repeat

This film still has what I consider the one of the best scores of not just the HTTYD trilogy, but also modern film scores as a whole. With its use of distinct, beautiful leitmotifs for each major character and the expressive orchestration that shines in the no-dialogue scenes, it’s some of John Powell’s best work, one that I used to listen to on rotation when I was in high school.

1:32 Ohhh it's more than just 1 movie ❤Over the course of the years, it became a full blown franchise consisting of Christmas Specials, Short Stories, DVD Extra's , Eight Season TV Series ( two on cartoon network, the rest of the six seasons reside on Netflix ) 🤟❤ Here's the chronological order if i'm correct: -How to Train Your Dragon (2010) -Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon (2010) - short film -Book of Dragons (2011) - short film -Gift of the Night Fury (2011) - christmas special -Dragons: Riders of Berk (2012) - TV series (Season 1) -Dragons: Defenders of Berk (2013) - TV series (Season 2) -Dragons: Dawn of the Dragon Racers (2014) - short film -Dragons: Race to the Edge (2015-2018) - TV series (Seasons 3-8) -How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) -How to Train Your Dragon 3: The Hidden World (2019) -How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming (2019) - Holiday Special -Snoggletog Log (2019) - literally a fun 29 minute Yule Log Then there's these two series that are kinda aimed towards younger kids (according to DreamWorks, but i think its BS to just keep the franchise going) with terrible animation: -DreamWorks Dragons: Rescue Riders (2019-2022) - Dunno where this one belong's and i don't want to anyway, its cringy AF with the talking dragons 🤣 -DreamWorks Dragons: The Nine Realms (2021-present) - This one is set set 1,300 years after the third and last movie "How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" At lastly there's a recent announcement of a Untitled live-action reboot film aimed for a March 14, 2025 release with the same director that made the trilogy, i'm terrified, excited and skeptical at the same time with what they could do with it 😐🤨

Night fury isn’t even “kill on sight” in the manual, it’s just “AVOID AT ALL COSTS” like you don’t have even a chance of killing it

Fun fact for this movie when toothless is about to press on hiccups hand he hesitated that was a animation motion error and it was left in cause it made it a more emotional scene

funfact, the red death (the giant dragon king/queen) was originally aquatic in the book. it looked like a living mountain of coral. in fact, one of the sub species of the death dragon family is the purple death, which was an aquatic varient. this varient appeared in one of the mobile games. also, notice this red death is old and wounded. it's wings are torn and it's horn (notice at at the nose) is broken. a fully healthy one has a proper horn and large wings. the red and green death both reside in volcanos.

"It's a fathers job to listen to his son without ever letting him know he's heard a word." not in the movies but I love this quote

you guys also need to see the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron from 2002 its a great movie grew up watching it and its also another Dream Works movie as well

The amazingness of the movies is amped up by the series, which adds more depth between the 1st and 2nd movie. That is also worth a watch and I'd watch that reaction.

The Red Death (the queen) has a semi mind control roar. Which is why Toothless started to fly to the nest.

Just to let you know the dragons from the school that Hiccup’s friends tame all get names in the cartoon series. The Deadly Nadder the blue one is Stormfly The Gronckle, the big brown one is Meatlug and she’s a girl. The Hideous Zippleback the 2 headed one is Barf and Belch, Barf breathes gas and Belch lights it And the Monstrous Nightmare the red one is Hookfang

I love how every person who watches these movies thinks it's Hiccup's mum's actual chest that the hat is made out of XD but breastplate is a piece of armor that are used

I'm so happy that they did these. I remember seeing all of these in theaters.

I laughed so hard, when silent patreon ad came.

I definitely recommend watching the series it's really underappreciated and actually nicely expands on world building that couldn't fit in the trilogy

not only three are 3 movies there is also a tv series which shows the events between 1st and the 2nd movie... so if you guys can please do check out the tv series Dragons/ Race To The Edge before watching the 2nd movie!! Thanks as always for the great video :) being following you guys through Ben 10!! Ben 10 Avatar The Last Airbender HTTYD!! My favs!!

I remember being really into the different dragon types and the biology of them when I was a kid.

HTTYD's score gives me that same wonder and breathtaking feel with Gustav Holst's The Planets. So good!

This movie/trilogy is so F'ing good😢😢

Holy shit! First king fu panda and now how to train your dragon!? You guys are single handedly bringing back my childhood 😭

I beg of you, watch riders of Berk na Race to the edge, tv shows that ie in with the movies. They are amazing

Edited: They changed the thumbnail to a screenshot of the first movie, originally was an image from the third film. Finally my OCD can relax. If you care at all to read what my original comment was, I moved it down a bit so people won't get spoiled. Original: Your thumbnail is from the third film. Yes really, I can tell just from looking at it. If you think I'm full of it then I can tell you exactly which scene it is. When Hiccup gets the new tail wing on Toothless so he could fly on his own.

I watched this movie when I was 10 in theatres. To this day I laugh everytime I hear the line "Thanks for nothing, you useless reptile." Just the resigned and deadpan way he says it gets me every time.

So the scene where Stoick says to Hiccup, "You're not my son," was basically Stoick disowning his own child, and i believe in viking culture that's also banishing the child from the village so everytime I hear Stoick say that I feel bad for Hiccup

I am a huge how to train your dragon fan and a few things you all should know about about the first movie is that the giant dragon on dragon island is a female/queen dragon called the Red Death, and secondly Hiccup's leg did not burn off do to him falling head first into the fire instead Toothless accidentally pulled it off when trying to catch him. and the third thing is Hiccup was not asleep a day but was actually in a coma for a couple days.

This just makes me want to watch the movie. I too don't remember all this at the beginning. It's been a long time. I just remember the cute shots of Toothless.

58:04 hiccup foot did not get burned off, but it was Toothless that accidentally chomped/bite it off when he was saving him

54:12 The dragon that got a shadow when they sailed out was one of the smaller (large, but still smaller) ones; they had no idea how big this one was by comparison until they actually saw it.

Y'all should definitely react to the TV series of the movies probably before the second movie as it's good and is somewhat connected to the movies except rescue riders and the nine realms and the shows has many unique species of dragons including one of my favorites the Death song.

Genuinely, since the first time I saw this movie a decade ago, it still remains as my favorite animated movie of all time, if not probably one of my favorite movies of all time. There's just something so incredibly magical about this movie, from the flying sequences and the score itself, and Hiccup and Toothless' bond. Of course, I absolutely adore the second and third films too, but this first one has remained uncontested as my absolute favorite.

This movie, hell the whole trilogy, is up there in some of my favorite movies. They're just so good in so many ways. There's a reason it has such a devoted fan base

Everyone's always comparing the dragons to dogs. Honestly, Toothless at least is more like a cat. He took a lot of time to trust Hiccup, was kind of a jerk when it came to Astrid, and only let in a few select people. That has cat written all over it. The ones at the end might be dogs, with how quickly they trusted the Vikings that had been trying to kill them that whole year.

I’m happy y’all are reacting to this trilogy. I have all three films, & to me this is absolutely the most perfect trilogy from Dreamworks.

I can’t believe they are finally reacting to this movie!!

This movie was one of my absolute favorites growing up. I still remember playing the soundtrack on constant repeat just to get through late nights writing college papers. Unfortunately, such occupation of my time meant that I was never able to watch the third one when it came out. And now I don't know where I can find it without renting or even buying it.

I actually forgot that David Tennant is in this. It's fitting as he actually does all the audio books for "How To Train a Dragon".

I love this trilogy, i might actually cry as you guys watch this. Happy moments in my childhood. Thanks guys.

So when they show the Vikings sailing into the fog, it wasn't the Green Death(queen bee) dragon that attacked them but a scattering of the ones that had been raiding their village. They were protecting the hive. The reason they were able to finally get to the Nest was because Stoick was following Toothless' movements as he knew the path to get there. it is theorized Toothless bit Hiccup's foot off in his attempt to grab and protect him. Also Toothless didn't unveil Hiccup right away to make sure the vikings fears of dragons was gone. See that Stoick didn't try to attack Toothless or anything once he believed he died.

grew up watching it for years

Answers to your questions/comments made in the video: - Yep, there are three movies ❤❤❤ 1st came out in 2010, 2nd in 2014, and 3rd in 2019. There are also a couple of tv series - Riders of Berk (set not long after the first movie), Defenders of Berk (set just after Riders, essentially season 2 of Riders of Berk), and Race to the Edge (set a few years after Riders and Defenders/in the couple of years before movie 2). And then there are the short movies - Gift of the Night Fury (set just after movie 1), Legend of the Boneknapper Dragon (same as GOTNF), Book of Dragons (same again), Dawn of the Dragon Racers (set just before Race to the Edge), and Homecoming (set . . . sort of during the 3rd movie, but I can't say more without spoiling so you'll have to wait to find out lol). I know you probably won't want to watch them all, I get that it's a lot to get through; however, I do recommend at least watching Gift of the Night Fury, as the events are (briefly) referenced in the 3rd movie, and IMO it's the best of the short movies. - I definitely agree with the assertion that this is one of the best animated movie series ever (can you tell I'm a big fan lol). - I can't believe I never heard about the 2025 movie omg, you confused me when you read that out haha. So it's not HTTYD 4, it's a live action remake (but being made by the original movies' director, Dean DeBlois). Aaaand now I'm excited XD it better be good. - "Ope, that's a big boy!" Actually, that's a big girl 😊 she gets named Meatlug. - I adore Toothless' expressions and gestures, like when he motions for Hiccup to eat his half of the fish 😂 - It's a little . . . abstract, lol, but Toothless actually drew a picture of Hiccup 😊 24:51 on the bottom left you have Hiccup's mouth, open in an O shape, then diagonally you have his nose, and his eyes, and floppy hair around it all. - Yeah, that's a little trend with Toothless in this movie. If you wrong Hiccup, he will hold a grudge like there's no tomorrow; but if you apologise, then he's like "okay, we're cool now" XD - I believe the shadow we saw in the fog was a Monstrous Nightmare, not the queen. - It's never explicitly said exactly how Hiccup lost his leg. The most likely reasons are a) as you said, it was burned beyond saving in the fire from the explosion, b) either when they hit the Red Death's tail or when they hit the ground, his leg was severely crushed and was un-saveable, or c) a favourite among the fan theories, while Toothless was trying to save Hiccup as they fell, he couldn't quite reach him in order to protectively wrap himself around him, and he had to bite Hiccup's leg to bring him closer.

Hiccup: *_“No one has ever killed a Night Fury.”_* Grimmel: *_“You really have no idea who I am, do you?”_*

Toothless is part bat that's why he could navigate through the rocks. His a mix of horse, wombat, kangaroo, bat, snake, dog, cat, panther, and a bird of prey.

Fun fact, this was based on a children's book series by the same name. Though the premise was much different there. In that series, vikings were already training dragons and getting your dragon companion was a right of passage. Hiccup ended up with Toothless... who in that very was a tiny, pink dragon with no teeth and I think no fire power. What made Hiccup special was that he freaking taught himself how to speak and understand the language of dragons. Basically the movies just took the names of characters and dragons. Still amazing movies, but I remember being bummed out that the film was such a departure from the books when it came out.

Easily my favourite animated trilogy ever. It will always hold a special place in my heart

Just listening to the opening gives me chills

You know the best part of the toothless flying around to scare Astrid part? In order to fly toothless and hiccup have to work together. So hiccup HAS to be helping him fly

30:31 Toothless said "Go and sit yo ass down lil nigga." 🤣🤣

I watched this movie for the first time at a drive-in theater. One of the most epic experiences of my life

You guys ABSOLUTELY need to watch the next two! ❤

"Decapitate his leg" that fucking got me lmao

the shadow of the dragon in the mist when they first tried to go looking for the nest (but were unsuccessful), was a Monstrous Nightmare, the kind of dragon that sets itself on fire and which Snotloud rides on towards the end This movie has such an iconic soundtrack and scenes, it's truly one of Dreamworks' best movie series (speaking of series, it also has at least three or four different TV shows, I definitely remember one that takes place after the first movie and one or two that take place after the second, (there's also the HTTYD 9 Realms TV series, but so far I haven't heard anything good of that one.. the other HTTYD TV shows are great though!)) I hope you guys will react to HTTYD 2 and 3 as well, I believe 2 is most people's favorite, but they're all great!

Hiccup was probably out for like a few days, seeing how the dragons are already accustomed to the Vikings and how Gobber had time to make a new tail fin (with a foot lock) and prosthetic for Hiccup when Hiccup woke up. Edit: I found a movie script stating how it took a week or two for him to recover so he was out for a 1-2 weeks.

Two Oscar noms, my guys. Best Animated Feature (lost to Toy Story 3) and Best Soundtrack (got snubbed and it went to The Social Network)

Best boi toothless

John Powell just did an amazing job with the soundtrack. I watched a long time ago, but i still can listen to Test Drive, or Friendship any time.

"The sun was in my eyes, Astrid" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
