HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: THE HIDDEN WORLD is PERFECT 

20:25 - Very few people realize or comment on the fact that Grimmel is what Hiccup would have become if he'd not spared Toothless. A powerful point made just a little to subtly.

32:38 they actually did come back for christmas, theres a small special about toothless visiting them for christmas

31:53 the reverse of that first ever touch 😭 💔

Hey Guys! Editor here, I hope you all enjoyed the How To Train Your Dragon journey with Alex and I! It was a fun one so much love!

“She’s totally attracted to unavailable men” Never has a sentence out of Alex’s mouth described me so accurately

fun fact, my cat actually does play fetch. not as much as he used to, but he's done it since he was a kitten.

"I need more!" Well Alex, if you really do need more of these characters, there are 2 (or I guess arguably 3) TV series that you can also check out. Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge. Now, Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk are technically two seasons belonging to the same show and that series takes place literally just after the first movie. Race to the Edge takes place 3 years after that and 2 years before the second movie. Both these TV shows, especially Race to the Edge are very good! They flesh out the side characters more, take us to new locations, show us TONS of new and amazing dragons and have some badass villains! If you really do want to see more from this franchise, I would highly recommend checking out those TV series!

You were actually right about Toothless' babies being called nightlights! That is what they are canonically called! ^v^

1:44, notice Hiccup fights holding his sword in his left hand. That’s a nice nod to the books given they make it a big deal that Hiccup is left-handed

That outburst of "aaWWW HE'S SO F***ING CUTE" floored me Alex 😂😅 and yes, we agree. Great reaction as always

Man Alex choking on his drink is the type of vibes I’m on today 😭😭

'Cute aggression', that's the name of the phenomenon you experience when you see Toothless, look it up! It's been observed that a lot of people feel this when they see cute animal photos and videos on the internet. You want to cuddle them so badly, but you can't, and that makes you mad!

I watched this in Theaters and was so bliwn away. Most of the audience gasped when the hidden world was introduced. I cried so hard when Stoic was shown in the memories.

I like how close Alex got to guessing the ending about halfway through the video he's definitely getting better at determining story writers and directors

34:57 oh, so you need more? Well... you know, there's 8 seasons of the DreamWorks Dragons series ;)

It's insane you created your biggest concept yet on an innocent, children's movie. GOOCHBUMPS.

The “there were dragons when I was a boy” line is the very first and very last line of the original book series. If you think the bad guy in this is good you need to watch the tv shows, race to the edge has one of the best villains I’ve ever seen though you need to watch riders/defenders of berk first, there’s also multiple shorts to watch as well.

32:37 Funny you say that, because there was a christmas special where they came back, for a little bit.

If you want more, I recommend the Netflix series on how to train your dragon, it's called Race to the Edge, it's a series that tells what happened after the first movie, until before the second, and how Stoick got his dragon.

Woooo Cant wait to see your reaction to the ending in like 35 minutes Also, you definitely need to watch “Dragons: Race to the edge” it takes place between the first and second movie, very good show

Like if you think Alex needs to watch the How To Train Your Dragon shows - Riders/Defenders of Berk - Race to the Edge As part of our Senior Yearbook, seniors were asked to take pictures of them and their friends hanging out(to show the bonds we share). Me and my friends went to see this movie and took pictures. One of the best experiences in my life. We all teared up at the end. The caption under the picture in the yearbook even said, "bonds that last forever" and how true it is. Also i would recommend watching The Lord of the Rings and The Impossible. Both fantastic stories.

For more HTTYD... there is a series. I think it was called: Dragons: Race to the Edge

19:00 yes... i work on a cruise that travels up and down the Norwegian coast, and every winter we see it. I promise you that your jaw will drop the first time you'll see the auroras!

I loved your reaction to this series... the ending broke me and I wasn't the slightest bit ready for it lol Your reactions to emotional things are some of my faves

PLEASE WATCH THE HTTYD SERIES >Dragons: Riders of Berk/Defenders of Berk (takes place shortly after the first movie) >Race to the Edge (takes place in between 1 and 2)

35:12 - "I can not believe" Shows arm with a "Believe" tattoo? Spot on dude. Best trilogy ever, always tears me up.

"This is the best trilogy" I agree. This is the only animated trilogy that I have seen where the story progressed, in a great way. You weren't left feeling like it was lacking when it came to an end in the last movie. Sure they could make another, but you dont feel like it is needed.

Alex, you guessing Toothless's offspring names out of nowhere... *French kiss* beautiful!! Nightlights are the cutest thing ever!! Also any chance doing the mini series between the first and second movie? Please?

6:50 Yup, cats do in fact play fetch, at least some of them. I had a Norwegian Forest Cat who played fetch when she was a kitten, she used to bring things back to me when I threw them. When she got older, she still chased after things I threw, but by that time she was too lazy to bring them back 😸How To Train Your Dragon, what a trilogy. One of my most favorite movie franchises of all time. 16:35 Yeah, thanks a lot for that image in my head, Alex 😁 27:25 Hiccup and Astrid are my favorite movie couple, end of story. The hidden world is a giant cave with a waterfall, in the middle of the ocean, if I remember correctly, something like that actually exists, can't remember where, though.

Actually there's episode versions named also a sequence called how to train your dragon homecoming 1) gift of the night fury 2) riders of berk 3) race to the edge

After this you should watch how to train your dragon tv series which are called . Rise of berk . Defenders of berk . Race to the edge . You will love them . And this is the right order too .

10:40 that’s a small reference to the most epic How to train your dragon villian: Viggo (from Rise of the Edge)

This is my favorite "How to train your dragon" movie. A perfect ending. 😭💖🔥

I am so glad I saw it in cinema! The moment when Hiccup and Astrid fly to the hidden world for the first time, it's stunning!

If this movie doesn't make you cry, you have no heart. It's all good

PLEASE WATCH THE SERIES! Skip to Race To The Edge if you want better graphics.. but seriously the story is just as good and it gives more background lore! It takes place inbetween movies 1 and 2 so you'll get more of Stoic and Hiccup and his friends and it really fleshes them all out in the greatest way!

What you’re experiencing is called cuteness aggression which is the result of perceiving something cute that triggers a reaction that is perceived as aggression when really it’s just the need to protect said cute thing.

0:37 that's what bro was worried about💀

Hey, Alex, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge are both a series that go in-between the movies. Defenders of Berk is still when Hiccup and the others are still kids and Race to the Edge is when they're older, before the second movie. They are both good but Race to the Edge is especially great. You should watch them if you want more HTTYD content. There are fun storylines, new great characters, new dragons for you, and the relationship between Astrid and Hiccup develops throughout and it is just so good, more people should talk about it.

I love how we all always cry together at the ending :')

For my history nerds who like researching, there is a village of vikings that did dissappear and were never found. The village was found completely abandoned with their things in tact and inside their homes.

6:51 toothless's movements are based on both cats and dogs. not sure about the other dragons but probably

7:58 That was the angriest “OH MY GOD HE‘S SO FUCKING CUTE“ I have ever heard

24:06 on the left is the Beweilder Beast from the second movie..... ALSO- Just FYI if your interested: HTTYD Trilogy: - HTTYD 1 - Dreamworks Dragons - Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury - Dragons: Race To The Edge - HTTYD 2 - HTTYD 3: The Hidden World - HTTYD: Homecoming - Dragons: Rescue Riders - Dragons: The Nine Realms I would be happy to watch any of these with you they are all special in their own way even if they aren't original. How To Train Your Dragon Will Forever Be In Our Hearts & Be In The Hall Of Fame!

I was sobbing when I watched the ending for the first time

18:58 When I was a kid, I traveled to Norway to visit a friend, and I saw the northern lights from the window of my airplane. It was on the other side of the plane from my seat, and there were a bunch of people crowding the windows so I didn’t really get a good look, plus I had a shitty Nokia phone at the time so I couldn’t get any good quality pictures. But just being able to see glimpses of it was cool enough.

Usually movie reactions dont make me cry, but this movie made me cry so much that your reaction also made me cry. Such an amazing trilogy. Favorite dragon movies by far.

You need to watch Race to the Edge it’s amazing!

We have been blessed with another Alex reaction lets gooo

(I have way too many thoughts 😅 Forgive me in advance) - Alex starting off breathing fire! 😂😂😂 - 1:48 - That "Yer a demon!" guy is David Tennant!! (aka The Doctor aka Scrooge McDuck!) - Twitterpated!! 🥰😂 Love that! - 🤣🤣🤣 "Yep, she's Latina." ALEX I'M DYING, not just cuz I never thought of that, but also... you right. 🤣🤣🤣 - 30:00 - That *ENTIRE* section just *destroys* me. Sobbing over 'Save him', when she does, and when she comes back. It's so. SO. GOOD. - Man, nothing in this movie killed me more than 31:53 with the reverse of the moment where they made their connection in the first movie. It's so perfect and so heartbreaking and so beautiful. 🥺😣😫 - 33:33 OH MY GOODNESS *NIGHT LIGHTS* !!! HOW did I never come up with that?!? It's so PERFECT!! 😭😭😭 - Absolutely perfect conclusion Alex. Great great job! Thanks so much for outstanding reactions!!! 🥰 (PS: I'm both happy it happened *and* sad that it's over.) ❤🎉🏆✨️[[edit for typos]]

The dragons are based off of both cats and dogs, and actually they show traits of other animals as well. Super cool concept.

34:59 If you do want more, there is a short film called How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming that features the baby Nightlights and shows more of Hiccup and Astrid's kids at Christmas time. 8:42 The Light Fury "disappears" because her scales refract light when she uses her plasma blast that eventually causes her to become invisible. 11:47 The dragons Grimmel has are called Deathgrippers, their "fire" is a type of corrosive acid that catches fire on on certain materials. They also have pinchers as front feet so they can catch their pretty (other dragons) and use their venom from their fangs or tail to immobilize their prey. 34:25 In case you're wondering, the Nightlight's names are; the females name is Dart (black and white with blue eyes), the two males; Ruffrunner (black and white with green eyes), and Pouncer (white and black with green eyes). Sorry I know this is long but thank you for reading

I still blows my mind that there´s an 8 season long (or even 10?) series which takes place between the first and second movie and really is able to flesh out the characters even more. Not the greatest series ever, but still a satisfying watch with at least 20 jaw dropping episodes which are as epic as the movies. Granted, there´s filler especially in the early and later seasons, but when the series was on point from season 2-6 it was a feast for sore eyes.

YESSSS MORE HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON LOVE YOUR VIDS Edit: the intro was so funny 😂

This is a rare occurrence when every entry in a trilogy is literally perfect.

There’s a couple of tv series that take place between the movies that add a lot of context and are quite good, but the movies do a good job making sense even without having seen all the history of them. Also, yes there’s a Christmas special that takes place years after the last movie. My kids LOVED this series of shows and movies but also was enjoyable enough to watch for my wife and I that we didn’t mind having to have it on constantly for them

I don't see anyone commenting it, but the last monologue about dragons is also from the books. I highly recommend the series because it is just as good as the cinematic httyd. (Edit: Also, if you want more, watch Race to Edge. It's really great.)

How to Train your Dragon really is the Greatest animation trilogy ever I saw the first one when i was 13-14th like Hiccup I grew up with him and Toothless all along with the TV series When i saw the Hidden World in cinema .... Man that was the best experience i ever had i cried like a baby seeing the end (and all adults men near me where crying too) and that's ok i'm happy you apreciate the purity of this story May i suggest you to watch the greatest live trilogy now : The Lord of The Ring (in extended edition, worth it believe me)

Some cats *do* play fetch. I had one that would go crazy with a little bouncy ball (the kind you use you play beer pong). You would throw it, it would bounce, and the cat would go, "hunt" it, catch it, and then it would return it to you to keep going

Glad to see you loved this trilogy! It's a favorite of mine as well

"at least are the dragons coming for Christmas?" wellllllllll

this movie really gives you that hope that all dragons and humans will move together to the Hidden World but as soon as the movie goes on, we all know whats gonna happen at the end, and thats beautiful and sad at the same time

Watch race to the edge show! Its the filling in between the first and second movie. Its the best httyd show out there. In my opinion. Also in the editors note showing the alpha from last movie, you can see other light furys, they are a separate species than night furys. But can have hybrid babys

Your reactions through the whole movie was just the best! Also for those who didn't know the light fury and night fury are two different species!

@Alex Hefner You need to watch the following Riders of Berk Defenders of Berk Race to the Edge (NETFLIX) How to Train Your Dragon Home Coming (Christmas Special) The original cast plays their characters in the TV series except for Snotlout (Jonah Hill) and Stoick (Gerard Butler) but beyond those 2 characters / actors, the rest of the cast play their parts. I promise, you won't be disappointed

6:53 My cat does play fetch 😂

When I first watched that movie after it came out I was crying my eyes out. I swear I never cried so hard in my entire life. This movies are my childhood and the best trilogy I ever saw. Since the ending of this movie (after being so sad for like month) I was so angry, I just couldn't accept that Toothless and Hiccup split. While watching you reacting to it I was drowning in tears (again). I'm still not ready to accept how they ended the trilogy, it's just too painful for me

My guy, I'm shedding manly tears along with you. I've seen this movie an embarrassing number of times and it still gets me. I don't care who moans about how it ended, one thing they never forgot how to do in this franchise is how to make us feel.

You need more? -> You have to do the series when you're done with clone wars!

There is a Christmas special that takes place a few months before they meet toothless again. Really cute. Focuses on toothless's kids.

Alex you made me bloody cry! There's a beautiful little Christmas special that explains why Hiccup, Astrid and their kids go out to find Toothless and his family. You'd love it❤

This movie breaks my heart

What that fuck happened to Gen V

If you want more toothless watch the tv series

You need to watch the short with Hiccup and Toothless' kids meeting, it's so cute

Hey Alex, if you want more how to train your dragon content, I would recomend "Race to the edge". Its a TV show that takes place between the first and second movie, and its really fun. It adds fun new antagonists and explores lots of the world building, I'd recommend it!

Keep em coming, Alex!

18:55 im up in Canada and one time, almost on my brother's birthday, actually, our dad saw some northern lights while he was outside having a smoke and he called us outside and we sat outside looking at the sky until they vanished. idk how often that kind of thing happens here but that was something to remember.

You actually got the names right for the babies! They’re canonically called ‘Night Lights’!

One of my all time favorite movies ever is these 3 movies. So much emotion and love and just everything about these movies are FANTASTIC

Really hope you'll consider covering the 'Kung Fu Panda' trilogy next. 🧡

one of the few trilogies that made a perfect last part without messing it up, love those movies

Thank you editor. I never saw the alpha before in that scene.

I remember watching this with my son and absolutely SOBBING when I realized it was a metaphor for a parent letting their child go into the world on their own. I'm not ready!

Awesome reaction, you should watch the Iron Giant! An absolute classic

Whooo! Here we go!!! This is gonna be awesome!!! Thanks for posting this right when I needed it Alex!

This movie holds a really special place in my heart as the only one of the trilogy that i was able to watch in cinema when it came out. Its also from a time period of my life where i went through a lot of pain and subsequent healing as several months after this movie my partner killed herself so seeing this movie and seeing a lot of the love-y themes really reminds me of her a lot. A blessing and a curse but more of the former now that some time has passed. Ill always love and miss her but this movie helped me a lot with emotional maturity and understanding, it saved me and i will always, always love it for that. Rest In Peace lily, my moonlight, 19th july 2019 ❤

If you want more: a) There's going to be a live action version, as you mentioned at the end, and; b) there are several short movies and TV series connected to the main trilogy. The best of the short movies (in my opinion) is Gift of the Night Fury, and the best of the TV series is Race to the Edge, but there's plenty more as well.

feels illegal to be here 5mins after upload

Amazing reactions, you should react to how to train your dragons race to the edge it is amazing show

there's a christmas special that you need to see! along with both of the series!!!

Race to the edge and Defenders of Berk are some good shows about what happened between the first and second movies

Awesome reaction of my favorite How To Train Your Dragon movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

Now you just need to watch the series.

The fact that each movie has a ascending order of antagonists is crazy. Berk used to fight dragons out of fear, Drago controlled dragons, And Grimmel straights up kills dragons

I sobbed in the movie theater over this one. So glad you watched these - they've become so important to me over the years!

Legit was just scrolling through YT to find something to listen to in the background but this video got my full attention. Can't wait to see your reaction to HTTYD!

Finally!!!!

Omgosh, crying cuz when i first found out u watched the first movie omgosh and now we r on the last 😢 these were and still are some of my favorite movies ever

There are two short films that are the same quality as the movies. 1st one being "Gift of the Night Fury" and then "Homecoming". I highly suggest you watch those!
