*How To Train Your Dragon* made me cry HAPPY TEARS🥹 

The first HTTYD movie is an absolute gem. I had no expectations when I first saw it back in the day and was really surprised how good it was.

Most of Toothless' behavior was modeled on cats. Note that his eyes change according to his mood. When he's upset or angry, his pupils are slit eyed. When he's feeling open or friendly, his pupils are round. I especially enjoyed the training montage, and Astrid's mounting frustration that Hiccup keeps coming out ahead, especially with tricks like the eel or the grass, which seems to have a catnip-like effect on the creatures.

What I love most about this movie is that it shows that there are consequences for being the hero. Hiccup didn't just get a bunch of cuts and bruises. He lost his foot. The same foot, it so happens, that I lost, so I also feel he's a kindred spirit. 😉

YESSSS! I’m 51 & not embarrassed to admit how much I love this trilogy ❤

I'd add Astrid to the list of characters who is handled really well, I think her growth from being the archetypical viking, to being the first person to learn what Hiccup has discovered, and then being the person who loves him because she sees his qualities is another part of why this film works so well.

I will never get tired of the middle of the movie, the entire Hiccup/Toothless bonding experience. Have watched it so many times over the years and just...love it.

I've always thought the flying scenes with Hiccup and Toothless along with the music shows the joy and glory of flying better than any other movie or TV show.

18:42 "How romantic!" The song title for this scene in the soundtrack is literally "Romantic Flight"

This is a movie that teaches that compassion is the greatest strength. To take the time to empathize is better than the ability to kill something. It's wonderful.

Humility is a strong theme through this. Watch it again and note every time Toothless’ attitude changes toward someone. He’s openly hostile to Astrid until she apologizes. He dumps Hiccup when he takes credit for their first short flight together when it was a team effort.

This entire series is beautiful, emotional, and simply majestic. With an inspiring soundtrack to boot welcome aboard.

There was not a single time when i haven't cried when toothless allows hiccup to place his handbon his head. That acceptance scene hits home every single time. I love everything about this movie. Absolute gem

This movie has a follow-up series "Race to the edge" that really builds up all the supporting characters. And the second movie tells what happened to his mother, and why Stoic hates dragons so much.

14:15 It's subtle and often missed. In the previous scene when they fell, the fastener on the saddle got bent so they got stuck together. Hiccup had to bring him into town to get tools to fix it.

Toothless always forgives people who are sorry. it is a clear pattern

If you imagine Toothless with whiskers, he can become a black cute cat.

I've said it before and I'll say it again The entire sequence of the duo losing control, plumetting to their deaths only to regain control and fly as one unit with that Iconic score in the background? will never cease to send goosebumps throughout my body

You are going to LOVE this series. This is going to be so much fun!

HTTYD is one of the best franchises of all time. Hiccup is a phenomenal character, and Toothless is basically a glorified mix of a black cat and a cute puppy. If you loved this, HTTYD2 & 3 are absolutely amazing. This franchise was my childhood. Easily, the best part of this franchise: THE MUSIC. The composer was John Powell, and he actually worked with Hans Zimmer for the Kung Fu Panda soundtrack.

14:12 The reason why Hiccup brings Toothless to the village is that when they get blown down while testing the tail, the safety rope gets stuck so they're stuck to one another. So they have to go to the village to get some tools.

This was one of the best trilogy films I've sat through. While the third lacks a little of the magic that was present in the first and second, it still was solid entertainment, imo.

One of, if not thee best animated trilogies out there, love you content V! Happy Hump Day 🐪

17:10 you have a brawny strong headed father and a brainy son. Usually the mother in the situation would help the communication but since she’s no longer with them there’s no translator although Gobber does try to help.

The TV shows are really what allow the supprting cast to develop and have much stronger personalities than the movies allow, but even with their flaws, i love this series so so much

Interesting little story i heard: When Hiccup and Toothless bond at the end of forbidden friendship with the portrait drawing, Hiccup holds out his hand and toothless puts his nose into it. As part of the movement toothless pauses, moves back a bit, and then finishes the movement. The interesting bit, the pause and move back were an animation mistake, toothless was suppose to go straight into the hand. Instead what we get is it looking like toothless is very briefly reconsidering what he is doing and continuing anyway and is one of the most iconic moments of the series.

By the way, it did take some time for the village to become accustomed to the dragons, but you only learn that through the TV show.

5:47 love how Toothless here accepts his fate, then when Hiccup releases him, he gives him the look that says "you could have killed me, why?"

*What I really love about Hiccup's and Toothless' relationship and the progress of it, is that Hiccup's end goal never was to ride a dragon and be the first to do that.* The only thing he wanted to do was kinda reversing the damage he had done to Toothless' tail and just get him to be able to fly again. Hiccup only realized during that progress that it would not be possible without him actually being on Toothless and controlling the prosthetic tail himself. That's the *only* reason why Hiccup ended up actually riding him at first.

I was 8-9 when I saw this movie in 2010 and now i'm 21. I feel old and it feels good to have this in my life

I'm not going to lie, this movie seems so up your alley, I'm shocked you haven't seen it!! Love your content! ❤

Ironically it's "How to Train Your Human." Just like with a cat. Speaking of, I sometimes miss my cat's annoying me, now that he is gone.

The first dragon showed quick trust. But after the village wiped out the one that they were enslaved to, it made sense that they would befriend each other. It may have been seen as a nest, but the large one looked like it consumed some of them at times.

This series is so great and seeing it in 3d was extra great. Those flying sequences are awesome in the format

Fun fact, when Hiccup tried to touch toothless and the drsgon put a rejection face, this was an animation error, but the idea of this and then accepting when Hiccup close his eyes was so loved that they keep it that way

This film series is really close to me. Watched the first one with my wife shortly after we first met, watched the second when she was pregnant with our oldest daughter and the third with my daughter and my wife when she was pregnant with my youngest daughter. Goes without saying we have a fair few plushies for it about the house.

I love all these movies, one of the rare times when the sequels actually hold up really well to the original. Definitely worth seeing the whole story!

Is it hard to believe, that this is my favorite animated movie? Backgrounds, colors, attention to details, music, just mesmerizing!

This film quickly became my favorite animated film and is probably my favorite film overall. I can watch it over and over again. The 2 sequels are excellent as well, but this one just touched me in a special way.

Is really funny for me how Hiccup tells his father's expectations like he was ordering a burger.

the entire dragons migrating into berk is furthered in defenders of berk, and how they enter the mutual dragon and viking getting along bit.

26:52 “that’s a biiig dawg!” Sandlot vibes 😂😂😂

"The only down side is the pests. We have dragons" "The only upside is the pets. We have dragons"

This movie hits me hard every time. The father son relationship here hit very close to home for me. My dad was a big athletic man and Excel is one of my favorite games. We found way to make it work. Toothless is also so much like my cat that I feel this studio owes me money for using his likeness.

Whats crazy tho is that Astrid, hiccup, snoutlought, fishlegs, and the twins ruffnought and tougthnut are all 15 in the first movie!!

"test flight" is the greatest original score for an animated movie of all time its two themes in one. while hiccup and toothless but work indepently their respective theme plays. and when the cheat sheet is almost lost we lose both themes and its replaced by chaos. when they finally work together we hear the ICONIC HTTYD theme we all know which is toothless and hiccups respective themes played together in harmony

the *Im gonna say random shit and pretend like im interested* vibe is strong

1:15 Actually the tv series reveals his name is actually Horrendous Haddock III, Hiccup is a nickname for a kid who's small and weak. Also the TV series is so worth seeing.

Because Hiccup was born as a scrawny, skinny noodle and doesn't have the muscular Viking physique, he is unable to truly defend herself like everyone in his village. This always led him into trouble like what happened earlier. Everyone has to step in and save him, like what his dad did, and that always tires them cause they had to babysit a fishbone while fighting off dragons. Some dragons are based on real-life animals and objects to create their behavior, characteristics, and features. Like Toothless, the Night Fury is based on cats, black panthers, bats, manta rays, and a jet fighter. A Deadly Nadder on birds due to their bird-like movements and behavior Toothless and other Night Furies have retractable teeth that may protect them from being damaged whenever they fire their plasma blast

How to train your dragon was my favourite movie growing up and really made my childhood. Still watch it often

You've probably already seen this somewhere online, but "black cats that look like Toothless" is well worth the Google search 🙂 every time my crazy lil "kitten" of 12yrs bounds around the house I think of this film series 🤣

This movie captured my heart back when it was in cinemas. The story is so heartwarming and the musical score is such a masterpiece. Definitely one of my top 3 animated films of all time. There was a Netflix series that sort of dove deeper into the adjustment the people of Berk went through adapting to life with dragons and fleshed out the supporting cast of characters which I thought was a good series, although not really a must watch. The other movies are really good too, hope you get to watch them both soon!

This is one of my favorite movies, as it makes you feel so much. No piece of animation has made me feel as squeamish as when Hiccup at Toothless’s barf fish.

I absolutely adore this movie and hugely regret not getting to see it in the cinema, I can only imagine how that flying scene would have felt in IMAX or even 4DX. I love all of these movies and eventually plan to watch the cartoon series as well but this first movie is and likely always will be one of my all time favourite movies. Also you're 100% right about the dragons basically being huge cats as that is EXACTLY true, Toothless's movements were based on recordings of one of the animators own pet cats which is both hilarious and adorable.

Fun fact: Vikings did not wear horned helms. That was an invention of operas in the 18th century, so that the people in the back could easily tell who the bad guys were.

One thing I have yet to see anyone point out is that the reason the whole village changed so quickly because all the vikings on the nest island probably had to take and fly all the dragons back to Berk since most of not all the ships were destroyed. The only question I have is how toothless made it back since his tail fin was destroyed. 🤔

I slept on this movie for so long. Thought it looked a bit too "kiddy" for me, but then, years later, I caught it one day on HBO when there was nothing else on and absolutely loved it. The other 2 are also great!

not so much tough love as Toothless is just an awesome wingman.

Oh I never thought I'd see this one on here, not going to lie the second I saw it my childhood flashed before my eyes. Good times man...good times, ones that I will forever treasure to this day. Really hope you watch the rest of the movies too, you'll love them I promise!

the scene where he loses his cheat sheet and they are falling still gives me goose bumps every single time

there are so many great voice actors in this movie! if you check the credits, you can find Jay Baruchell, America Ferreira, Craig Ferguson, Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin'!), Kristin Wiig and TJ Miller (yeah he's kind of a dud). but for sure so much talent!

Take note of how the animation develops w/ each film. Everything about these 3 films make them my fave 3 since 2000. Happy to see you checking them out!

I love the flip between pests during the intro, and pets for the outro

The character that made that sarcastic comment towards Hiccup his name is Snotlout and he's played by Joan Hill and Stoick is voiced by the one and only Gerard Butler and Hiccup is voiced Jay Baruchel

Toothless wanted an apology. He ddidn't interfere when they talked, he didn't interfere when she approached the area they used to train. He only interferred once Astrid started hurting Hiccup. As soon as he got the apology he wanted, they were good again.

I think hiccup is in a coma for a while, so when he wakes up and sees the people and dragon become friends. it's probably already weeks after the fight with the red death, and you should watch httyd 2 and 3 too. It's really a great movie.

You should cosplay as Astrid. The looks and Energy with you both are quite similar 😂

I love how Toothless has kitty cat face. Reminds me of having a black cat.

Answers to your questions/comments made in the video: - Hiccup's voice actor is Jay Baruchel. - Other voice actors: Astrid = America Ferrera, Snotlout = Jonah Hill, Fishlegs = Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Ruffnut = Kristen Wiig, Tuffnut = TJ Miller, Stoick = Gerard Butler, Gobber = Craig Ferguson, Spitelout (background character, Snotlout's dad) = David Tennant. - Monstrous Nightmares (the ones that set themselves on fire) have a sort of gel/coating that is flammable, but also protects their skin, which is how they're okay setting themselves on fire. I believe the gel is made from their own saliva. Also most dragons are fireproof/heat resistant to an extent, especially Stoker Class dragons like the Nightmares and Terrible Terrors - you'll see later in the movie how Hiccup comments that the little Terrible Terrors are "not so fireproof on the inside". - Good catch! Hiccup is, indeed, left handed :) he's technically ambidextrous, being seen handling weapons and other things with both hands, but he seems to favour his left hand and DreamWorks has officially classified him as left handed. - Hiccup's mother was carried off by dragons when he was a baby, and Stoick never fell for anyone else (and didn't want to, either). - "So we know who the bully is, got it." Yeah, Snotlout's a bully. Fun fact: he's also Hiccup's cousin. It's unclear in the movies which parents are related, but most likely Stoick and Spitelout aren't brothers because they have different surnames (Stoick and Hiccup Haddock, and Spitelout and Snotlout Jorgenson). - 10:50 Toothless drew a (rather abstract) picture of Hiccup! Because Hiccup drew a picture of him! It's very adorable. - I won't spoil it too much for you in case you want to look into the tv shows, but dragons don't like eels because they make them sick. - Astrid's just mad at Hiccup because she's confused and frustrated. She doesn't know how Hiccup all of a sudden got so good, and she's been trying and training to kill dragons her whole life and is GOOD at it, but all of a sudden Hiccup is better than her. Once she finds out how, she finds peace with it, no longer having to wonder how the heck he's doing it. - He brought Toothless to the village because he didn't have a choice; when they crashed during that mock flying lesson, the clip attaching him to Toothless' harness bent and he couldn't get free from it. - Stoick and Hiccup are very different people, they have very little in common and therefore they both just kind of do their own things, not to mention Stoick is often busy with official business since he's the chief. So no, they don't really chat that often unfortunately. Their main similarity is their stubbornness, lol. Although we don't get to see much of it, I like to think they fixed that after this movie; you can certainly see their relationship improve as time goes on. - Lol, Toothless is very sassy, he waits for an apology from both Astrid and Stoick before warming up to them. - "He got the girl already?" It certainly seems like that with the amount of times she kisses him, but they don't actually officially end up being a couple until they're about 18 (they're 15 in this movie). - I'll leave a list of all of the connecting movies and tv shows in this franchise in the comments. As a big fan, I'd naturally recommend you watch them all lol, but definitely watch the other two main movies. Out of the rest of the content, if you only watch one thing, I highly recommend the short film "Gift of the Night Fury", preferably between movies 1 and 2 since that's when it's set, but definitely before the 3rd movie because the events of GOTNF are briefly referenced in movie 3.

A lot of people will say that the next two movies are even better. I disagree. The animation does get (even) better, but I still think that HTTYD I is the GOAT. THAT being said!... The next two are just AMAZING (simply illustrating how highly I regard the first), rounding out a FANTASTIC trilogy and are absolute "MUSTS". Please react to them (to the trilogy) asap. 😊❤️

One thing that I see a lot of ripple never mention to much about is the scores the httyd series has one of the best soundtracks in any movie series

Your cat just wanted you to acknowledge it's resemblance to Toothless.

Fun fact the part where toothless hesitate to touch hiccup was a animation mistake but the animators decided to keep it since it made it look even better

This is hands down the BEST trilogy ever made!!! Please watch the other two movies as you will not be disappointed.

(At 11:05) to me, when I first saw this movie and saw Toothless, Toothless look like a newt, most likely an axolotl, with wings.

Can't wait for the second film (: love your reaction (((:

(At 13:40) Hiccup doesn't see it, but he's kind of upstaging her.

I recommend reading the book series after this movie. A lot of stuff was changed from the source material, and I consider the books darker in tone.

Have you learned nothing about the internet? Cats are the stars out there, and if your kitty wants to get in on the reactions, who is any human to say no? As always, a wonderful reaction!

The movies and shorts are all excellent in showing how the characters grow and progress.

Wow! if you liked this, enough to get emotional. OMG!! You'll love the sequel even more. Great reaction as always.

John Powell's score is one of the best of the past 20 years, A+

Something I've noticed that gets glossed over (mostly because the movie itself glossed over it - in fact the movie never once even mentions it) is that Toothless lost his tail BECAUSE Hiccup shot him down. Think about it....Toothless was flying just fine until Hiccup found him. Once Hiccup finds Toothless his tail is just suddenly maimed??? If it had been maimed before or was a birth defect (a theory someone once told me) then how was he flying with NO problems until Hiccup shot him down??? That could ALSO be one of the reasons Toothless growls at hiccup after getting cut free of the ropes. Toothless yelled at Hiccup for shooting him down.

Cats are sassy and lovable, which is why toothless act like one

This is basically a disability awareness movie. I love it for that reason

I'm not an expert in oceanic geography, but my understanding is an island can have super deep waters right off the coast if it is formed quickly, say by a very active volcano.

You’re cat is not annoying he is adorable. This series is so good. Jay Baruchel does the voice of Hiccup.

The best animated trilogy. You’re in for a treat.

One of the best movie scores ever created! Makes the movie(s) an absolute highlight!

24:10 Strange thing huh? That it took weeks or maybe even months to train with Toothless.. and these people just learned how to deal with a dragon, within 2 hrs 😂😂😂

Still a massive hit and probably my favorite animated movie trilogy. The music, the characters, the story, everything about this franchise means so much to me. ❤❤❤

The "staaahhhaahaaap"...as someone who just got a puppy...I felt that.

The voices you recognised were Hiccup and Snotlout right? So, Jay Baruchel as Hiccup and Jonah Hill as Snotlout. Hiccup tried subtle, it didn't work, the reason they were all so accepting by the end was that they had basically been smacked collectively over the head with the facts by seeing the big dragon etc. It was a bold move for Astrid yes, but, it fits her no?

One of the best animated movies. The score in particular is amazing.

Toothless is my cat, lol. If my cat had wings and could shoot weirdly powerful purple fireballs from his jaws, that is.

Toothless is the pet that everybody wants but doesn't know it yet....

I could never be a disney/dreamwork protag, I'd be on my villain arc before we even learn and understand the disrespect and fear these Dragons must be feelings.

This series was a big big surprise for me I watched the first one when I was a young lad and loved it, watched the movies as they came out and have seen them a few times over the years and also got into some of the animated shows they had, it’s a great series and I enjoy it quite a bit hopefully you can too!

I was absolutely shocked and excited to see this on your channel. I friggin LOVE these movies. Not gonna lie, even tho I truly love your channel, the movies/shows you've covered lately have been a bit hit or miss for me personally. So again, seeing this come up made me smile ear to ear! So glad you're doing these movies! I know you'll love them and they may possibly even change your life! I rewatch the whole trilogy at least once a year and it always gives me whatever I need at the time. So cheers V! And enjoy! I'll be following right along with you!😉👍

Note: the kid that sound familiar (one of the twins) is voiced by the voice actor for Fred from big hero 6

18:41 "How romantic!" well yeah, so much so that I used it on my wedding xD
