- Mason Thames and Nico Parker are Hiccup and Astrid in the live-action reimagining of 'How to Train Your Dragon,' in theaters June 13.
It doesn't even matter if it is necessary but just hearing the soundtrack relived many memories deep in my heart. Wish for all the success guys
yes, the soundtrack!
Youre the problem. Why the world can't progress.
They're changing the script. It's not the same movie if they have to change the script.
They couldn’t even get Astrid right which means they don’t care about the source material
If they fuck this up. I fucking hate live action movie forever
I love httyd. No change to the plan kepp the script and we done
We looking at you mulan.... fucking worse remake of this generation. Ruined one of the classic movies
It just can be like mulan. Follow the og story pls psl.
Thank you for bringing this to life and for making Toothless look EXACTLY the same!!!
Lol, Toothless was my primary concern!
except astrid imo, but maybeeee... it might work
@@DairyQueen-n1mDon't tell me your apart of those haters.
@@capededitor I'm not trying to spread hate tho but to be honest, Astrid is supposed to be blonde and pale right? we all got used to it, they did a very good cast for hiccup but astrid idk yet. Somehow I do have a glimpse of hope that she might plays her character very well.
@@DairyQueen-n1mthe twins are ginger and fishlegs has black hair. seems like people only want to focus on astrid and harass a teenager for choices made by the wardrobe and costume design team. also nico parker is very pale so im confused lol
CLEARLY DEAN DEBLOIS IS AN AMAZING DIRECTOR. I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE YET AND THIS JUST GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS. SPECTACULAR
No one has seen the movie yet lol
@red1izweird381 THE DIRECTOR
@@JAMESBOND-d7j it's not done yet. The crew have obviously seen the filmed parts but they are still working on CGI and fx
@@red1izweird381INTERESTING DIRECTOR POINT OF VIEW 🪟 🤔
Goosebumps? It mad me well up! I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!
DUDE. I don’t think anyone understands how much I would’ve loved this a year ago. I was obsessed with httyd THANK YOU
Me but in 2019/2020
honestly i love how Stoic's VA in the animated films literally reprised his role in this movie.
FOR REAL
Wow I can't believe seventy four people don't know gerard butler's name
I think Samuel Jackson should have been cast as Stoic - to be honest
Mason Thames really gives off Hiccup vibes, the role was made for him, also he's so cute lol
@@TomCuis oops lol I didn't know who was who but I guessed that was him, lemme fix that! ☺
My husbands favorite movie. He passed away 3 weeks ago. He wouldve loved this! Thankyou for recreating this.
Aww, I hope u feel better. Remember God is with you even if you don't believe :)
my biggest problem with the casting here? Sure a lot of people are saying its a problem, that Astrid isn't blond, and yea thats kinda a big miss, but I can live with that as long as she has the personality an chemistry. but the big problem here is the twins... Like I'm sorry and im not shaming anyone but what the heck? Like come on man, they are identical in the animated movie which is a BIG part of who they are, the fact that they are basically one character, but here? the twins look NOTHING alike, which means they are going to destroy the those characters...
nah they should have given her blonde hair then it would be fire other than that its fine
Tuffnut is my favorite and it's a bummer to see the casting for them. I can only hope they do well, but at first glance you wouldn't even think "oh yeah those are the twins", more like... who are these new characters? Is Fidhlegs a girl now? It's all weird
Hollywood is so obvious tho even if this sht is good.
Youre right! The fact that they casted twins that don't look anything alike is just proof that this movie is gonna crash and burn!!! I can't believe this, the movie is ruined 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 there's NO coming back from this
Im agree with you. However, I also don't like the fact that the characters are already in different clothes in these videos, while they are in the same clothes throughout the regular animated film. It's also bad enough for me that their voice changes.
Give Astrid her Blonde Hair and i would be okay with it.. even if she doesn't get the Blue Eyes. Just the Blonde hair gives it her flare
Oooo. You sir are great!! Can’t wait!
Astrid - why?
You know why.
@@PistonHonda87 :(
All they have to do is give her a blonde wig bruh, only ONE thing.. yet there are too dumb to do so
Yep, they go out of their way to make all the other characters look like the originals, including Toothless, but they cast a "person of color" for DEI purposes.
No, the owner who spoke in most of the video, said that damn body The same Spirit is astrid. He stated in multiple interviews that he does not care for skin color for astrid, or hair color. He's focusing on what they are as a core character. Which makes sense.@@justbenelson
I’m crying, Astrid should have a blonde hair, she’s beautiful and perfect but she IS BLONDE
Exactly
@ THANK YOUUUUUU
Yes 😭😭
fr
And white. Like a viking
I love Toothless ❤
If they had put Nico in a wig, she'd look like Astrid.
The actor playing Hiccup is handsome
He looks like an androgynous gen alpha emo kid
@Hrtsforyouu please learn what an apostrophe is.
They should have cast McKenna Grace as Astrid.
They had to give the role to the whitest black person they could find.
fr
you're totally right
This might be the first ever good live-action remake of a movie
And it might also just be a cash grab the profit off our nostalgia you but you know
@@lavenderflowersfall280every movie is a cash grab 🙄
to profit off our nostalgia? good, i like that they brought back my favorite movie when i was younger. yall are actually negative about fucking everything. just enjoy the movie or dont
You're such a liar lol
Aladin was great
You make it sound like it's a bad thing. I promise you, regular people doesn't give a fuck. @@lavenderflowersfall280
omgod i'm screaming and crying at the same time like i was just thinking abt this thwe otherday wouldn't it be cool if this movie was live action and to see its in the production in the making is real crazy
I miss HTTYD SO MUCH it's actually painful. I'm really happy they're doing a live action and just watching this it seems like it will reach expectations!! Thank you SMM
I mean no hate but emmmmm I was hoping a blondie Astrid 🤷♀️
It’s just hair bro
@@DyingLightBattles she is Nordic Viking kinda doesn’t make sense
@@spazlionit’s fake. It’s fantasy. Nothing makes sense 😂
@@Nightmare1203-zh1ynI mean blonde would look 100% better
she pale af all this girl needs its blonde hair i dont understand why they went with braids
Idk why they didnt make Astrid look like the original character. She doesnt even have the same hair style...
you know why.
@@Jon-u5j8uvikings had braids tho right!?
It’s ok
@@onimaxlmThose braids are not the same, she's wearing individual/knotless braids which are commonly worn by women of African descent (it has added extensions). I rarely see white women wearing that hairstyle, so no it's not Viking hair.
@@onimaxlm yes
Why am I the only one that loves Astrid as a brunette? 😢 brunettes are under-represented and although Astrid was blonde in the cartoon I just think brunettes are typically more badass. besides the if the actress can portray the personality and the character then the STORY remains the same and that’s what matters. Sure Astrid had blonde hair but “blonde” is not Astrid’s personality nor does it effect the story as it would in a live action like rapunzel. I can see why that might be a problem but let’s just watch the movie and see how well this actress pulls this off before we judge. Personally I love the brunette look and while watching the cartoon I had always wished Astrid was a brunette
blondes are hotter
Why is Astrid black now?! Wtf are you people doing?! She is Nordic!
It's the while diversity thing that just has to happen in movies and television now. Apparently DreamWorks isn't learning from Disney. Although, they screwed up with many of the female actresses in this. None look anything like the animated character even a little.
she ain't ''black'', she ain't even full ''black'' whatever 'full' fucking means.
She is also ''white'' you know (if you wanna go down that route)? Why erase her ''other'' side?
So you're saying the only cast member with Scandinavian blood and 75% white isn't good??(which means she only has 1 black GRAND parent) The actress literally looks white. Don't be racist
eh more important to me was keeping Hiccup and toothless the same and they got that
She's QUARTER BLACK! She has a white father and mixed race mother. She dont even look black ffs
It looks really awesome because it looks like it'll actually follow the original story exactly...but why do we have to change Astrid? She's a pretty girl, but please give her a blonde wig or something. Her hair looks nothing like the real Astrid. I'm tired of diversity where there doesn't need to have diversity.
F*** Diversity!!! It's ruining everything!!!
THANK YOU! I have nothing against the actress at all, I think she will do an amazing job, but Astrid is so iconic for her blonde hair and blue eyes. She stands out from the others both through her personality and physicality. I wish they would have considered bringing her animated character to life just exactly how she already is. Why change her?
@@nora27777That’s what I’m saying! I can’t stand cinema today bringing in diversity in places we really don’t need them in, like the live action The Little Mermaid. My first casting choice was McKenna Grace, she’s been passed up too many times. She would’ve made a great Annabeth in Percy Jackson, and she would’ve been a great Astrid.
I really agree with you, i have nothing against the cast of Astrid but i really dissapointed when i see Astrid doesn't look exactly like i hope.
I also agree what is diversity if we don't need actually need it because you only ruin a masterpiece that doesn't deserve this
The "real" astrid? shes a fictional character. Many vikings had braids just like her and many had dark hair and the actress is only a quarter black. This isn't shoving diversity everywhere, this is just casting an actress to play a role.
The setting is clearly inspired by culture and history of the Vikings so if skin color doesn’t matter why change Astrid, an already established character? Should’ve respected the source material
She still looks like someone who would live there. If she has the same charisma as astrid i think it will work fine.
@ she fits in like a cell phone would, I am Danish and I have been studying our history since I was a child. They are signaling very clearly that they don’t intend to stick to the source material
Im swedish and my skin is darker then hers i dont see your point
@@byornwillems6091 are you living in the Viking era?
@@rihegno but my great far grandparents were and i got my genes from them
Is this even necessary though?
No movie is necessary
@@Cutitout-f5xNah, some are, just not remakes tho....
Not this one lol😅
No, they're just Desperate for money (not that They need it) and They can't come UP with anything original anymore so they're just banking on nostalgia, They will remake everything under the sun and change some characters' race while they're at it
Then don’t watch it.
Honestly I don’t care about the controversy’s with Astrid I just want to see the movie….I want to see Hiccup and Toothless….I love me some Toothless ❤🐉
Why Astrid is not blonde hair ? Like in cartoon?
Bringing my favourite animated movie series to life, so excited!
I love how to train your dragon !!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see this in the theaters
Cant wait to see this movie.....wait...astrid......ohhhh.
Modern Audience.....got it.😅
She looks nothing like Astrid. At all. Obviously intentional.
And she is also a nepo actress
I can't wait to see this in June for the Summer movie, I love how to train your Dragon I love Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, and Hiccup too!
Heather is my favorite character from HTTYD series!
“Hello? This is 911.”
“My HTTYD Live Action is HTTYD Live Actioning to well.”
Why is Astrid black?? We need the original Astrid!!! Blonde. 1:20
I was just wondering if the producers could make Nico Parker's hair blonde to look like Astrid from the animated version.
@ChilliCattle-Heeler I hope they can do it because it's a must. Damn, why didn't they make her blonde? It's a small thing on the surface, but she's one of the main characters in the show.
@@sepastraik1471 Maybe Dean Deblois will see how many fans are not satisfied with Nico Parker's appearance as Astrid and he will change it and give her a blonde wig, that would be nice.
@ChilliCattle-Heeler yeah I'm sure it would be really cool if he did that. And I really hope so. I'm not a racist it's just that there's a limit to everything. No need to change anything.
her skin tone is actually very light
Oh no she got the Ariel treatment, is it really so hard to stick to the source material.
Theyre so allergic in casting actual blonde women or red heads in live action movies
fr
Nico Parker is luminous
They could've casted Sydney Sweeney as astrid
Payton List would have portrayed Astrid very well
If she wasn’t in her mid 20s
Or Raegan Revord from Young Sheldon
@@traydaniel0403Payton looks younger.
I'd rather take McKenna Grace
The fact you'd choose someone far outside the age range for the character just so you can get a white actress over a darker-skinned actress tells us everything we know about how you guys think.
Might as well resurrect Joan Rivers and maker her play Astrid since you guys only want ONE kind of person to play the role and nothing else matters to you.
Why can’t they just stick with the original characters 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Yeah i know right it's really disappointing
Why do they have to stick with it? You want a copy/paste movie but with real people? Just watch the original. Why would I pay more money to watch the same movie again?
@@Mr.Vuciphierbecause its made in a different time where CGI is much better, your argument is just dumb.....
@@Mr.Vuciphier @ do you know what the words live- action remake means? that basically what they doing when they do the live action. They remake the original animation version in to live action with real people. 🤦🏽♂️
@@anthonygabriel2216 who cares? cgi is literally just computer generated, like the original movie.
If you want to pay more money for the same thing, go rent the original movie and watch it again.
MAN, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING MY CHILDHOOD TO LIFE AND MADE TOOTHLESS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME!!!
The only thing that i'm disappointed is that Astrid's hair is not blonde and pale.
why is ruffnut bigger than gobber
Astrid is blonde! Put a blond wig on her or she'll never be Astrid!
Everything they did from trailer all good respect original. But why they can’t get astrid blond hair from original???😢
If it comes from a place of respect, why do you change the appearance of the characters for no reason? Dude.
Stoic is ABSOLUTELY POWERFUL
I don't care if almost a "beat for beat"..."shot for shot" live action....I'll take it. The music alone is worth it. 🐲🐉⚔🛡
This is what I wanted!
I absolutely disagree with the casting for Astrid
Since I know nothing about her, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure she can pull it off, but not being blonde is a deal breaker for me.
Twins ain't twinning, blondes not blonding
Imagine Hollywood would have green lit this back then as an original idea. But it would be too risky. It had to be a successful animation first.
Toothless looks amazing
I'm so happy for this movie, I loveeeee the animation movies so this is such a nice treat
IM SO EXCITED OMG AHHHHHHHHHHH
Honestly the only problem I have with it is Astrids hair it just looks out of place to me give her blonde hair and everyone's happy. Wigs are a magical thing.
I hope this is just the rough cut of the movie, and they use CGI to make Astrid white with blond hair.
If Astrid is now non Scandinavia why not make black panther white then. It a far game.
@@AquainzsShe's not Scandinavian. Her father was born in London. As was her mother.
@@Aquainzs you are confusing ethnicity and nationality
She is NOT 100% Scandinavian (Like Astrid in the cartoons)
She has some African heritage and dreads which is African culture
Lol 🤣
Netfix type cast 😂
Peter Dinklage as T'Challa.
@@Wilson_Cool Actually many cultures had dreads including vikings. But you are correct that she should be played by a white blond actress, or a white actress with blond dyed hair.
The actress is fine there were dark Scandinavians also she's the only cast member with Scandinavian blood. She's also MORE white than she is black. Stop trying to do that racists one drop rule
why does he have a problem with blond hair people ? none of the blond hair peaple is blond in this movie ( 2:02 )
What's up with Astrid and the Ruffnut, why to change them?
I don’t know why people are getting mad. Astrid was a Brunette in the original book (I mean the character she was based on) , and the actress who plays her doesn't even look black. I think she looks very pretty, and I love her eye color. Has anyone even seen a scene of her as Astrid to judge if she fits the role. It's early for me to tell if I think she fits the role.
She doesn’t look black because she’s not black. She is at least 75% white
She doesn’t look black because she’s only about 20% black
She is cute but she isn't Nordic looking and probably got job due to parents
She was blond in the books. Ive read them all.
@@Electivedrop Astrid wasn't in the books?
Omg i'm gonna cry for the 100th time stop i can't😭😭
But Astrid doesn't look like Astrid. You're thankful to bring it all to life? Why didn’t you keep her?
Cant wait too watch
Can't wait to see the same story again
Not. Enjoy getting scammed.
I’m so excited for this 🎉😊
Next Merida her n Ella are my faves
Oh Ella is cinderella
@@helenogbonna3361 nice 😊
I'm so looking for it to it it's my childhood watching this movie
Where is Astrid?
1:00 , 1:06 , 2:13
@@cadespencer6320 Where though?
Nico would have been perfect if they made her wear blonde straight wig
I mean a live action of my childhood, I f** with.
NahZees from around the world are gonna be upset when they see Astrid & Fishlegs!!
I’m so excited for this I can’t wait to watch this in theater with my cousins cuz we’ve been living How to Train Your Dragon since we really little. I just wish they casted Astrid better but hopefully she’ll do great
YES thank you! someone agrees with the cast for Astrid's role. Im sure shell be good but they could have at least put on a wig or something. SO excited though!
@ yeah I think she’ll do good too but my thing is there are other female actresses that are good and look like Astrid. But yeah I’m super excited too.
@@lovinglifelexi3638 btw this is random but I was looking at ur yt account and your music playlist is so good like I love almost all of those songs and I just wanted to share that cuz uh I actually don’t know but great playlist👍😂
Finally someone who agrees with the cast for Astrid's role! ❤
I can’t wait to watch this movie. I am a fan of this since I was little
Me to
Same tho. Wanna be dragon watching friends?
Cant wait!
I'm angry... The original is so perfect, it doesn't need to be touched. Although, having Dean Deblois direct is pretty cool, and having Gerard Butler is pretty sweet. How often does a voice actor get to be the same character in live action? I guess we'll see how it goes next year.
Thank you so much... that's all...
Will they make httyd live action 2?
At least make Astrid’s hair blonde-
Vikings were white
I get that they are trying to sort of have a more diverse range of characters, but in the processes they are sort of removing the original story. THey are also saying that Scandinavian culture is not as important. But i am stilll excited for it to come into theaters
Please expand on the second film and allow that masterpiece to be as epic as it deserves.
Imagine if because America is a similar skin complexion to Niko they bring back Jay Baruchel and America Ferera for a live action How to Train Your Dragon 2?! That'd be AMAZING because Jay looks kinda like adult Hiccup if they did his hair, and America looks kinda like an adult Niko Parker 🤩
And this will be another movie no one will care about. The studio will loose money. And the "Fans" will hate everyone who explains why they dont like it
Is it just me I am excited bring back my childhood 🩷🥺
Your childhood had a black Astrid?
@@censorshipsucks9493 no but I will still watch it :) excited it to watch it 🖤
@@gabriellasilva3190 I'm going to take a hard pass on this just like I did on The Little Mermaid.
im so glad this isnt like the minecraft movie where everythings like trash but IM WATCHING THE FIRST HTTYD WHEN I SAW THERE WAS A LIVE ACTION COMING OUT AND OMG- they get the exact words and movemnts right!! like with the knife in hiccups hands plopping into his head, or him saying "Dad, i cant kill dragons." omg this is going to be a great movie.
Скорее всего будет не плохо но......... Мультфильм конечно как оригинал не сравнить!!!!!! Мультфильм будет всегда легендой!
Thank you for this 🥹🥹 my heart is full
Damn she doesn't resemble Astrid at all
Compliquenpour un humain de ressembler anun anime
Dye her hair blonde because Astrid is blonde.
I am super hyped for how to train your dragon live action I love how to train your Dragon
I felt the instant connection 😊
If you're not keeping the same script then no thanks.
Istg it’s my favorite movie I have watched it 52 times istg it’s so fucking good
NOT MY ASTRID
Get over it 😂😂😂😂
@@Cutitout-f5xNo i want scandinavien representation, why does black people always get to be reprisented but never people up in the north
😂😂😂😂 not my dragoon!! 😂
Because she was offered a role and said yes
And because she has a little bit of black in her but is mostly white.
Fuck y’all political mfs
@@Eroegen98it has nothing to do with politics. I have love How to Train Your Dragon since I’ve was little I’ve probably watched every movie and show 3 or 4 times and for me she’s just not a good Astrid looks wise. I mean she’s supposed to be a blonde white girl. And that doesn’t mean she won’t do well but Astrid could’ve definitely gotten casted better.
Please just make this good!
When is White Obama documentary coming out?
THE MUSIC 😭
Toothless! Toothless!
Isn’t Astrid blonde ??? She was one of my favorite characters in the animation. Why do they always make a female character black/mixed in classic films it’s getting silly.
We’re living in a world where Spider-Man’s “MJ” is black ! They mess up so so many classics this way !
How is making a character black messing up the movie?
@ not original
@@Itsspookykabukimight as well make Superman a fat short black guy because who cares about making the characters looking like the original
@@fortniteclipz2902bro Astrid ain’t as big as Superman lol, it don’t really matter what matters about film is if the story can be told right. If that’s done and she acts well you won’t really end up caring it doesn’t look like animated Astrid. Because they are trying to make people know this is different it’s not a remake it’s story will be changed up (director said so)
The actress is at least 75% white and essentially is white. And the actress playing MJ is zendaya who is mixed race and looks ambiguous. Be serious. Did you whine when mixed race people constantly play black roles like Halle berry for storm?
Looks so good!! I can't wait for this to come out I'm definitely! Going to see it in VIP lol thank you for bringing How to train your dragon back 👏
I'm so so so excited 🎉😮
I’m soooo pumped!!!!!
