A Critique Of Everyone’s Favorite HTTYD Song

"Where No One Goes" - the most popular How To Train Your Dragon song - took me out of the movie. "Where No One Goes" is a collaboration between John Powell and Jónsi of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and it never felt to me like it belonged in the movie, despite being built from the main Flying Themes from John Powell's score.

    Fantastic video. The visuals in this film are stunning and feel so alive, and it is wonderful to see animation experimenting with such expressive styles. It would be amazing if you could do a future video on the jaw-dropping score of The Wild Robot as well! Loved seeing your breakdowns for the HTTYD score; they had me appreciating the amazing work of these composers so much more. I think a video about the music here can be just as insightful!

    I like when you branch out of John Powell, because it feels more special when you cover other non John Powell related things, to be more clear what I mean is, this feel special because it's not John Powell, while your other videos are still good, this one stands out as unique, which is fun.
