I don't think I've ever seen anyone display so much pure happiness while watching a movie. Adorable

“You’re just like your dragon now” You picked up on that a lot faster than I did. Kudos.

Hiccup actually *_wasn't_* brushing the comments off. He just takes them because he's *_used_* to them. That's what his life was like for 15 years. He's grown used to the insults and being ignored and pushed to the side. He's learned to use quips to bite back a bit but you can tell in his body language that they do affect him a lot. He uses sarcasm as a defense because the village has instilled in him that he's too weak to physically defend himself. He's also one of the very very small minority of the village who actually uses his brain to get out of a situation, the rest use mostly brawn. Hiccup is quite smart and that's something a lot of vikings didn't like because that made him more different. And thus they've put down his intellect just because he can't swing a sword over his head.

An important detail that people often miss is that the Monstrous Nightmare or whatever it's called that Hiccup is supposed to kill for his trial bursts out of the enclosure and into the cage and at first COMPLETELY ignores Hiccup and looks for a way out. Only once it realizes that it's trapped does it turn its attention towards the human.

Your "lambie" reaction was completely and totally priceless. The look as you lowered your precious lamb was one of horror, as if you had been holding your child up to see the carnage. I was sitting by myself watching and laughing like a total idiot. Thank you for those moments.

This is one of the best animated trilogies I’ve ever seen. The movies keep getting better and better. (IMO)

I think how fast Astrid moved on Hiccup is based on how dangerous and possibly short life spans are in their world. The next day, you can be killed by a great number of things, so don't wait.

Toothless can control the size of whatever he spits against the other dragons. For the little one, he used a little blast, like a spank, to get the other dragon's attention. For mama dragon, he used the extreme-force blast. And the other dragons were serving mama dragon, kind of like her slaves. They're free, now. And both the dragons and Vikings are happy with the new normal. Great reaction!

Toothless has the traits of a cat; cats see you as a friend when you DON'T look at them; he's extremely fickle about food (which is fish); loves "dragon-nip;" chases a laser pointer; wiggled his butt when he pounced on Hiccup; ignores you when you try to get their attention...he acted a lot like a cat I had at the time (who was also black with green eyes).

Can I just say how AMAZING all these voice actors are? Like, even the extra characters in the backround, all these voices are perfect

I have a deep, abiding love for Pixar, but this and the Kung Fu Panda trilogy are truly marvelous, and I watch them over and over.

hiccup having a sibling called burp would've been hilarious and perfect lol edit: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="648">10:48</a> she was asking her twin brother not the dragon 🤣

Once Astrid said "First to ride one tough" the fans knew she was a solid wife, you'll see it in the other movies.

There are so many beautiful scenes in this film, from the shared drawings to the flight in the clouds to the pairing of the two friends' injuries at the end as they helped each other through the door to a wonderful new world.

One of THE best animated movies ever made. I could see your eyes starting to get wet during the iconic 'Test Flight' scene when Hiccup throws away the sheet, puts his faith in both Toothless and himself, and just _goes for it,_ even though it's not a sad scene, because that moment is just so POWERFUL. I tear up every time I watch it too.

Hiccup is the real definition of a hero, he had all the rights to become the villain, but he still chose to be the good one and save everyone. This is the best trilogy Dreamworks could have done, amazing.

Hiccup losing his foot is not only realistic, but it gives representation to kids teens or even adults who are similar. the beauty of Pixar. =)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2555">42:35</a> That's the reason Toothless is really scary. For some reason, many people pay attention to his cute appearance, but completely forget his description from the book of dragons. He dropped to the ground a dragon that was 15-20 times bigger and heavier than him, who also stood firmly on all four legs, with one shot. If you start to look into the details, then you realize that Toothless is a damn scary combat unit.

This is my favorite animated series ever. The soundtrack is amazing and i listen to it once a week because it always brings back the joy of watching these movies. They also do a great job aging the characters.

I couldn't stop laughing at the beginning. Jax's relaxed voice, her cup of Earl Grey, her Lamby... then sheep-pocalypse! 😉 I've watched this film many times, and seen a few reactions to it, but never had a better time. Can't wait for the rest.

This movie is one of my fav movies ever.. and yet somehow the next two movies in the trilogy managed to be even better. How did they do that?

I felt bad for Lammy when you brought her to watch the movie, just when I knew on of her relatives was going to be picked by the dragons.

Please take this as nothing less than a huge compliment, you give off so much favorite middle school teacher energy.

10/10 One of the most Breathtaking Animated Films of all time. I watched How to Train Your Dragon about 5 times now, and it never gets boring. It actually keeps on getting better and better with with more and more views. This is a huge accomplishment for DreamWorks Animation, it might actually be its Best Animated Feauture it yet. It is an amazing experience to watch this film in Cinema. The 3D is amazing and at times Breathtaking. I may of had the most fun that I've ever had in Cinema watching How to Train Your Dragon. The script is really good and is has a lot of dramatic depth. This movie is for everyone. Adults and Kids will enjoy it equally and will love it at the end. This movie will probably become a series like Shrek. But I'm hoping this film doesn't get bad sequels like Shrek 3 and Shrek Forever After. Anyways this film will be most recognized for its beautiful animation. 10/10 Highly Recommended

this is the first vid of yours i’ve ever seen and straight up love at first sight looking at you🥴you’re just so precious, such a great reaction!! httyd is my sister and i’s comfort movie, one of our all time favorites, i love watching other people’s reactions to it. glad you liked it, the others are amazing as well. can’t wait to see more!!!!

About the "HTTYD" franchise: There are 3 main movies, which you surely need to watch! They all follow the same cute pattern of figuring out new stuff on the viking way. And then you have 3 short movies, like little specials. And there are 2 TV series, the first one is all about dragon training and learning about new dragons and stuff, really fun to watch and the second series is about the world around HTTYD.

This amazing movie teach to not be a follower of prejudice; or allow the opinions of others to define you; and also letting kindness be a part of any solution. Jax, thanks for the laughs.

Heavily into Vikings history here and I love these films. This is an excellent trilogy that almost goes unnoticed

Omg that moment between <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="50">0:50</a> and <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="62">1:02</a> omg I was laughing way to hard and felt so bad for it 😂

Holy shit that Hiccup/Burp joke got me so much more than I would have thought.

Since you asked, typically, the larger a flying animal is, the faster it has to fly to stay in the air. Flying requires airflow over the wing in order to create lift. The faster the airflow, the more lift. Large birds such as condors and albatross' typically cruise at 50-70mph. And ancient giant pterosaurs such as the 450 pound (30ft wingspan) quetzalcoautlus probably spent most of its time flying around 90-120mph.

You’re the first and only reactor I have seen so far that didn’t hate Stoick, Hiccup’s dad. I love that.

The first minute of this reaction is just priceless the change in her expression when the sheep got snatched up had me 💀🤣

im sorry but when the sheep in the beginning got snatched as she was bringing lamby to her chest is so funny 😂😂

And now you have to watch the second and third (they just get better). The guy who designed and animated Toothless modeled him and his mannerisms after his cat, which is a black cat obviously. Fantastic movie, and I really love watching it and revisiting it about once a year. Enjoy, and I look forward to your watching of the second ones, as well as more Marvel reactions.

"Test Drive" is one of the best songs ever written for film.

In the beginning, when she showed lamby after spotting the sheep, I immediately thought about what was going to happen next. The reaction did not disappoint 😂

That hicup and sibling burp joke almost killed me 😂😂. I suggest third and fourth siblings called sneeze and snort.

So, there's a video essay from Charles Cornell called "How to Train Your Dragon is a MASTERCLASS in Theme Writing," which talks about how they work with Toothless' musical motif and Hiccup's musical motif playing off of one another in the scene where they are first flying together, and how the music itself is telling the story every bit as much as the visuals, themselves. It is an amazing video, and it made me appreciate a beautiful scene and a beautiful song 100% more. I do hope you continue with the HTTYD series, they're all amazing! Also, at the moment, there are only three movies that are out, with a fourth one in the works. There are TV series and... the equivalent of TV movies, but there are only the three _core_ movies, with the rest just kind of building on them as a background.

Great reaction! This is definitely one of my favorite trilogies of all time. I can't wait to see your next reaction! Fun Fact: The animators modeled the dragons and their mannerisms after cats! That's why they share similar eyes, react to grass similar to catnip, and purr. Some behaviors were modeled after dogs but Toothless was animated based on the animation supervisor's cat.

I love this movie so much. It's always great to see someone else discover it for the first time. I love the narrative symmetry, the same questions, asked by different people at different times. Like when Gobber says that a dragon will always go for the kill, and then Hiccup says "So why didn't you?" Later when Astrid and Hiccup are standing on the cliff, Astrid says that the rest of them would've killed Toothless "So why didn't you?". Or how, in the early movie, Hiccup says "I just want to be one of you guys." Then, later, in the ring, he tells the dragon "I'm not one of them." It's little things like that that you don't notice on a first watch, or when Astrid first sees Toothless and she pushes Hiccup out of the way. She may not like him, but she's not going to let him be killed. Also the score for this movie is REALLY good. It's not always obvious when a movie has a really good score, but when it does, it can elevate a movie from being good, to being great.

It's so funny that you made a joke about Hiccup and Burp. Billy Binges literally called him burp through the entire series 😂

I first saw this movie in the theater. At the time it came out (not long after Avatar) the movie industry was really pushing their modern (polarization based, rather than color filters) 3D technology. Most major studio movies were being released primarily in 3D, though 2D was usually still available. Most of them were a mixture of really gimicky scenes and stuff where the 3D didn't really add anything. This was the one movie I saw that I felt really made good use of the 3D possibilities to simply enhance the experience. Of course, there was still a lot of the movie where the 3D didn't really matter much one way or the other, but the flying scenes were just amazing. I was maybe even more impressed, though, by the way they occasionally used the 3D in unexpected ways to enhance small scenes. For instance, as the Viking fleet is headed out across the ocean to find the dragon island there was an establishing shot which showed the tiny fleet all in a line in the midst of a vast ocean. I think they must have done an entirely different animation in the 2D version, because the fleet was so small that in 2D you'd very likely not even notice it, but with the 3D animation they were able to draw your eye to the ships so that you were sure to notice them while simultaneously really enhancing the vastness of the surroundings. Anyway, if you ever get the chance to see this film in 3D I suggest that it's actually worth it.

While the queen dragon was never named in the final film, the script refers to her as "The Red Death".

The talk with his dad where he creeps in closer smiling huge like omg tell me tell me 😂😂 kills me especially the good talk good talk I do that with my dad a lot anytime there’s a silence

When Toothless picked Astrid up while she was trying to run back to the village, you looked like you were about to burst with excitement.

Hi i want to share that my moms name is Lammy. Its a nickname for an old fashioned name in Dutch but yes, its also what little sheep are called. So she collects sheep and lamb memorabilia and its so cute. I wanted to share bc ive never seen anyone call a sheep Lammy in english befor❤❤

One thing to remember it’s not the fall that kills you it’s the sudden stop at the end .

Finaly a reactor who also got goosebumps on the testdrive part. I could see that hundreds of times and still get goodbumps, it's such a good scene

I love that there is a hero for children with physical challenges.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2661">44:21</a> the tinier one was fireproof so I guess that made it easier for it to block out the fire

So happy you reviewed this... it is absolutely my favorite animated movie. Great reaction!!

There are three How to Train Your Dragon movies and they’re all worth watching. Hiccup even gets a Steve Rogers like glow up over the course of the movies. Think of this as his “Skinny Steve” phase.

I saw this twice in the theater. To this day I consider it the best use of 3d I've ever seen. Mostly cause the 3d just fleshed it out without being gimmicky. It made the "test flight" scene absolutely breathtaking.

Toothless is the sassiest being ever and I am living for it

Not only was Hiccup training the dragon. But , the dragon was training him as well. It was a two way street.

Great reaction as ever, Jax, you're so expressive in your reactions it's like watching with a big kid! I'll join the chorus of people who'll undoubtedly recommend both the second and third movies in this trilogy, altogether an amazing piece of storytelling. Also, as you mentioned you liked films with interesting father/son dynamics, I'd recommend Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which has some amazing father-son story. It's not connected to the rest of the Spider-Man/Marvel movies either so you don't need to wait to watch it, and it's got a sequel out soon!

Thank you for selecting "How To Train Your Dragon!" This and "Megamind" are my favorite animated movies, with "The Iron Giant," Wall-E," and ""Up" close behind.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1620">27:00</a> IKR? I HAVE ALWAYS ASKED MYSELF THAT HAHAH

I love the fact that I can watch a movie in half the time and still enjoy it. You cut the movies in such a way that I can still completely understand the story of the movie.😂It saves my time too👍👍👍

Hi!! I'm a new subscriber! I saw your wall-e reaction first and loved it! When I saw that you made a reaction to "How to train your dragon", I knew I had to see it! I'm looking forward to continue watching your videos and wish you a great month and furthermore!

Literally my favorite movie of all time, just found your channel and it’s awesome!

Toothless did a nice cameo with Kitt Harrington for a Game of Thrones demo. You have to see it because it is funny as hell.

This video reaction is providing me inspiration for a happy Friday! Your Joy is infectious! I think this could be your best reaction so far! It's so great to see your channel growing so fast! Already ~16K+ (I sub'd when it was under 2K...) I know you'll be at 25K in a heartbeat! I've always look forward to your weekly releases! If you ever decide to review a "Classic" movie, I hope you'll consider "Good Bye Mr. Chips" as one for your channel. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us! Cheers, M-

If we look at it from Stoick's perspective, we see that it all makes sense, right now we are thinking Stoick is a dumb father for not listening to his son, but, imagine this, you see your son befriending a what-you-believed DEMON, and of course, you are not going to listen to his begs, because, well, he just tried to befriend a dragon, who has been at war with the Vikings for centuries. Stoick, is still (and always have been) the best chief for his people that we know of.

The reaction at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="58">00:58</a> was hilarious. It needs to be a meme.

I normally search for reactions to eat with and i'm glad i found your channel, you are the sweetest ✨Really loved your reaction and going through the whole channel! haha

Great reaction Jax your channel is fast becoming my favourite and my favourite animated trilogy ever and i can't wait to see you watch the rest!

"I've lost power on the Gronkle." .... story of my life. Lol. I had a blast watching this with you. It's one of my favorite movies. Your personality and raw emotions are everything. It's why we love your reactions. Thank you for the hard work you put into this channel. You make it like we are watching movies with a friend.

The face change at Lamy you're family 😂😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="396">6:36</a> "There's _never_ enough bread-making Vikings" That actually sounds like something you could put on a shirt if you ever decide to do any merch! 😂

The test drive and the romantic flight bits remains two of the best things that happened to animation.

I think this is my number three all time favorite animated movie ever. Watching Hiccup and Toothless grow together and learn from each other, and how Astrid puts together the pieces and figures out what Hiccup is doing, and even joins his side after being introduced to Toothless and spending some time with him. The cinematography when they assault the dragon's lair at the end with the fireball soaring through the cave, and the gigantic dragon at the end exploding into flames are some of my favorite shots of all time, in any movies, animated or live action, ever. And multiple scenes of this movie will make me cry every single time I watch it. Astrid encouraging Hiccup to stand up to Stoic, Stoic freeing Toothless and saving Hiccup, and Toothless saving Hiccup. All of that gets me very emotionally worked up. I love this movie so much.

"If Hiccup had a sibling would he be Burp?" That was so dumb I literally laughed out loud 😂

"Would his sibling be named 'Burp'?" You know, I've NEVER thought about it that way. XD

We're planning our wedding for this autumn and are totally using the soundtrack during our ceremony :D

I randomly saw your reactions pop up in my recommendations and it's been a blast so far watching your reactions!! I get lonely sometimes but these videos make me feel happy

Good choice for a reaction! I'm sure you will love this trilogy. Always fun to watch your reactions!

New sub here.... The pure joy you showed was truly special.... Please continue with the sequels. They are just as good.....

ive watched pretty much every single httyd reaction and ive never heard someone describe Gobber as "this little guy" that was hilarious

Hiccup is actually a family name, his full name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third. Hiccup the first and Hiccup the second were know in Berk's history as great vikings. Stoick gave Hiccup that name so that the strength of his ancestors would be with him... It just so happens that "hiccup" also means "mistake." Also, I don't think you remember what Stoick's plan was the entire movie, find the nest and destroy it. If the nest is gone, the dragons would need to find a new home, effectively ending the raids. Quote from Stoick "If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave. They'll find another home"

After the 3rd one - the How To Train Your Dragon - 20min Homecoming short film - they may well yet make a 4th main film, who knows? And Hiccup should/could have been 1 of a set of triplets - Hiccup, Burp/Belch, and maybe Barf . . .

This is one of those movies where if I'm channel surfing and it happens to be on, I have to watch it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2660">44:20</a> True but when toothless shot the little one he only shot a tiny spark, not actually wanting to hurt it too bad. For the big one he was shooting like he _meant_ it. ( :

I love the word play they do. At the beginning he talks about the "pests" and at the end mentions the "pets". Very good movie!

Always enjoy your reactions. You express every emotion so intensely. 😂😢😮😊. One thing I'll just mention, is that for reaction viewers, when a reactor guesses what is going to happen, it's a bit of a let down, because it means one less thing you'll have a reaction to. I get it though...the temptation to show you've sussed out what's coming. Keep up the fun stuff.

You should also see the tie-in short films, TV specials, and TV shows.

“Sound like a cult” Me: “ Nah it’s just their cult… ure… Wait a damn minute !! 🤔🤔”. 😂😂

Fun fact: at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="850">14:10</a> when hiccup gets to pet toothless, there is a little jerk back from toothless ever so subtle just before going in for the pet. This was an accidental animation error but they kept it cause it was actually good and cute

I love how Jax feels she's officially in the "fold" of the MCU, which she is, don't get me wrong😅, cuz there's still so much I can't wait for her to watch, I guess I just like seeing reactions of people still being introduced into things I'm interested in, as far animated movies go, HTTYD is one of the best I've watched, and this is a pretty good reaction too, Dreamworks remains undefeated 💪🏾

I just LOVE seeing people fall in with Toothless!!!😂

"He's, like, SO deadly and SO intense while at the same time being so sweet." The marks of a good man. A......"sheepdog", as we protectors and defenders sometimes call ourselves.

Hi Jax!🙂This is definitely one of the more impreesive films from Dreamworks. I think this came out around the time studios were worried about a single bad release ruining a company. Probably why they shouldered the cost of the film with Universal and Paramount. Great reactions to your first How to Train a Dragon film, Jax!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

There is a pretty strong theory that in order to save hiccup, (since he was falling head first) toothless had to bite off his foot to catch him. They both caused each other's injuries.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="582">9:42</a> If you're curious that you'll see these dragon somewhere in the Trilogy, hate to break it , but that fun is reserved on all 8 Seasons of "DreamWorks Dragons" Television series ❤😅😁👍👍👍

I’m too used to everyone having httyd as their classic childhood favorite movie. It’s wild that some people have gone this long without seeing it and I’m so happy that folks still get to have that first magical experience

"Lamby, your family!" A dragon enters the scene: Gasping in horror:

Your reactions are so heartfelt and hit all of my own save for being internal for me vs. external for you. So enjoyable though.

Something some people miss about viking culture is that they were much MUCH less sensitive than modern day america. You ever hear siblings lovingly use every slur they can think of instead of eachothers names or how guys love on their male friends my insulting them? That's what their culture was like. Yes, for a dreamworks movie, they were insulting him and he was taking it to heart, but for the setting, everyone would be doing that to eachother at varying levels, and it would be affectionate. Their culture valued strength and resilience and bravado. Poking at your loved ones like that 1.made them less likely to be susceptible to it when it was real 2. gave them practice at being snippy back/intimidating and 3. helped curb some of the negative aspects of a valor seeking culture by consistently humbling people. "The tree that never had to fight for sunlight never grew tall or strong" is a quote I always liked about them. So yes, dreamwork movie, they are actually insulting him and he is taking it to heart/used to it, but the setting it's based in, that would be completely normal and they'd all poke at eachother like that too, if Hiccup was any more viking-like, he would be quipping back at them. Norse culture is where we get the earliest examples of people insulting eachother as a competition, flyting, the precursor to modern rap battles. Hell, Loki was the patron of it and apparantly was so good at it he once almost killed all the other gods by insulting them so bad. It's meant to built strength, and the insults are accurate, or percieved to be, but it's not meant to harm him, just to keep him 1.humble 2.less sensitive/manipulable to it and 3.to respond better to actual enemies doing it and turn it back at people. The norse valued strong tongues as well as strong arms.

Two of this movie's voice actors, Jay Baruchel and T.J.Miller, are also in the live action, "She's Out Of My League."
