The first time I saw this movie as a kid, I was super impressed by the decision to have Hiccup lose a leg after his fight with the dragon, especially in a kids film produced by Dreamworks. It creates an interesting parallel to Toothless, since they're the same now.
Also disability representation for kids! I can imagine that it felt good for any physically disabled kid to see an amputee main character in a popular franchise! Edit: I forgot, there are also lots of other amputee characters of all ages and genders, as well as strong female characters in every movie that are integral to the story Edit 2: omg this movie keeps unfolding sorry lmao but this movie also shows how people with a common problem (i.e. being disabled) can work together to become strong and face adversity. Not only is this movie fabulously made, it's an important movie for ALL ages.
It's also pretty smart because it was Hiccups fault that Toothless only has one tail wing when he tried to captire him and Hiccup lost his foot because Toothless bit it when he tried to safe him at the end and grabbed him, so you could say they're even now. I think he mentions that in the second movie as well.
OH TRUEE! I re-watched the trilogy yesterday and thought why does Hiccup sounds familiar and search for the one that do the voice of hiccup in case I hear him in the other film and it's not... and it's turn out it feels familiar because it's Dylan voice😂
Honestly for a animated movie I’d have expected some name like “Pip pip” In fact in this day and age giving cute names to Monstrous things is seen more as a compliment, especially if it’s given more character depth, then the silly name is respected more and becomes so epic with context to the story
@@TheKpa11 Well, HTTYD was based off of a book series originally. The books are a lot different but toothless is the name of the main dragon, and Hiccup is the name of the main character. Otherwise though, they pretty much changed all the names and characters.
Damn. So many people miss that one crucial bit that makes Stoick a great character. Right after he says "You're not my son" and leaves. You missed the absolutely _crushing_ guilt he felt. He literally _staggered back_ with what he'd just said, before pushing on to leave.
I was absolutely devastated in the second movie when Stoick died. I loved the fact that a side character had a fully completed arc, and that he accepted his sons difference. Lovely character
@@fabra1122 To be fair, it came out in 2014. More than enough time for most to watch it by now. Of course, there's plenty of people who haven't seen any of them, but still.
not only is hiccup losing a leg a parallel to toothless losing half his tail, toothless bit it off when trying to save him so he could shield him from the fire, like hiccup's trap cut the tail off at the start! i rewatched the film a few months ago and the lore is so much more complex with underlying meanings and messages than i picked up on as i kid i genuinely love this film
Oh, that makes so much sense, I always thought that he lost his leg because of the fire, wich didn't made sense to me since he was falling of head first. Thank you so much, love that detail
I didn’t realize Toothless bit it off! I always assumed his leg was so severely burned that they ended up having to amputate it. That’s so interesting!
as a disabled person who became disabled in my teens, i ADORED the fact they made hiccup lose his leg. it just meant a lot to see a kids character who’s the HERO have some sort of disability, and even one we see happen as well that isn’t framed in a very pitying way. not to mention he learned to adapt for toothless’ disability which just so happens to mirror his own, and they can take on the world together as disabled buddies doing cool shit. i still haven’t seen any of the other movies, but i know i need to sometime because i’ve heard at least the trilogy is really good
Similar for me. I lost my dad when I was 16 about the same time the second movie came out and I was at a real dark and cynical place. Seeing something bad happen in movies is great I think, because in real life there's also not always a happy end
When I saw this movie in theatres when I was a kid I was confused about how Hiccup would lose his leg when falling into a fire. but then the more Ive watched it the more I’ve come to realize that it was actually Toothless who takes his leg in order to save him. and that is another layer to their relationship as Hiccup is implied to be the one who takes Toothless’s wing. so when both are walking outside together at the end both are carrying the disability the other gave them and are then able to come together and be more than they were before.
Dylan: "If you adopted a dog that was missing a leg, you wouldn't call it Legless." Me, who used to have a legless dog named Peggy, named after her peg leg: "Yeah, you tell them!"
One of my cat was born with a blind eye so I named her toph (a blind character) and once they removed it (because it had an infection that could have been dangerous) my brother started calling her scarface 😭
i was just screaming in my head when he was saying he wanted the lore built out into an (adult) series and I'm like...we get (most) of that!!!! It's a great series damnit!
12:12 it's actually for aerodynamic purposes. When flying at high speeds, the teeth make the skull unnecessarily thicker, retracting them gives night fury's a good 2-3 inches less.
in the book series, he only has one tooth, hence 'toothless'. but i get how they needed to work around that to still make him mysterious and terrifying
@@summerevening421 As I recall, he didn't have any teeth in the books, retractable or otherwise. I believe that the riddle of the king's lost things mentions that he's a "fang-free dragon"
I saw the third movie one night in the theatres. The audience where all around 18-30 years old. I have never seen so many grown men cry (except for End game). I have never cried so much to a movie haha. One guy in front of me could not breathe bc he was bawling his eyes out. Saw him after the movie with his group of friends, still bawling his eyes out, them comforting him, he between his breath ”I... can’t... stop crying..” Love this movie
The first few times I watched the trailer for the third movie I cried of happines(I was 19 in my first year of uni). The third one was also the only one I watched in cinema and it was SO worth it
God I still remember watching the first movie in the cinema when I was 9, and watching the final film 10 years later really had me bawling. It's like the epitome of coming-of-age films and I feel really lucky I got to grow up alongside the characters and relate to their struggles.
In my 21 years of life, I have never, EVER, thought the Dreamworks kid was “whipping it out” until today. Now, I’ll never be able to unsee it. Thanks, Dylan🙃
"if you adopted a dog that was missing a leg you wouldnt name him Legless" Me thinking about my family cat named Tripod... Edit: I need you guys to know that I now have a dog whose nickname is Yards. Because he only has 3 feet.
lmfao me too ahahaha we had a dog named tripod (although she had all her legs, she was just missing a foot from birth, so in retrospect.... we were wrong in that regard ahahaha)
Should we be worried Dylan is writing detailed scenarios between he and his inanimate friends? But then again, at least he's writing something for a change.
It's always my favorite parts of his videoes. The whole segment of him being like: did they set up a way for how to kill a god dragon earlier in the movie? is so funny because he also included the "not so fireproof on the inside"-scene, without knowing that it answered his question. Unintentional comedy gold haha
@@fractal8346 my life is a lie,,,, there's literally a saying in German being like "bumblebees don't know that they aren't supposed to be flying, so they do it anyways",, it's like the time I found out the reason there's fog isn't dwarves cooking underground and the steam rising...
The idea of Astrid being a villian is a great concept. They really diluted her character in the other movies, but omg IMAGINE if they were lovers to enemies.
I wonder how they would've written the story with that concept of Astrid being the antagonist of the movie. It would change a huge part of the series and the plots we see definitely wouldn't be the same. We would probably see Astrid tell Stoick about Hiccup and Toothless, instead of keeping his secret and helping him. That itself would change a lot and poses some interesting questions as to what this version would look like. Would Toothless still be captured or would we see Hiccup running off to escape with Toothless? If they escape, where would they go and what would be their next step? Would we still see the nest in this version? If Toothless isn't captured, how would they find the nest? Would the other teenagers still help Hiccup? Would Stoick continue to despise dragons or would he still have a moment where how he sees them changes? What is the reason Astrid hates/dislikes Hiccup (Are her parents pushing her to become a great dragon hunter and Hiccup is getting in the way of that? Did a family member get killed by a dragon?), what is her motivation? It is definitely an interesting concept, though in my opinion would be a totally different movie/series. I am sorry about the rambling, it just got me think about what that would've looked like.
Dylan: this fight is boring the dragon doesn’t even move god dragon: *starts flying* Dylan: this isn’t even possible let’s get the physics majors up in here
The little animation of Stoick getting almost lightheaded after telling Hiccup he wasn’t his son is just amazing. That one animation turned Stoick from an irredeemable asshole to a misguided man blinded by pride and tradition who still has the ability to change. Obviously it doesn’t hit for everyone but it gets the message across for most. This is the Dreamworks I miss. This is one of the few movies I truely consider 10 out of 10, every fiber of it is made with genuine love and care for the characters and storytelling. And don’t worry Dylan, if you didn’t feel like you could feel the size of the queen dragon just wait for the next film :)
I’m so glad someone mentioned this. That scene is so important and makes the turn to “I’m proud to call you my son” better, because you could see he immediately regretted saying the opposite before.
@@24seawolf Another CinemaTherapy fan? 😏 When I saw they uploaded a HTTY analysis I was especting them to notice that and they did! Cinema Therapy are the best
I really liked Toothless’s interactions with Stoick in this film, especially near the end. It really adds to show that dragons are capable of complex thought like humans are. Stoick had been nothing but hostile towards both Toothless and Hiccup (that Toothless had witnessed), so he had no reason to save Stoick at the end. Saving him anyway proved that the dragons aren’t mindlessly evil. Plus the callback to the flying scene with Astrid too. Toothless didn’t reveal Hiccup was safe until Stoick had apologized for his actions.
this movie didn’t necessarily focus on loss, but the sequel and 3rd definitely are darker and deal with death and loss. the end of the 3rd movie will forever be one of my favorite cinematic moments in animation. i hope dylan reacts to 2 and 3 because they were just as good as this one.
@@Hime0love To be fair, he doesn't need to watch the series, you can easily follow along without it, plus the series has some pretty low budget animation
Ok i gotta interject.... HTTYD 3 was by far not as good as 1 and 2 imo. It was way too predictable.... plus.... 👉👈🥺 I was hoping Hiccup and Toothless' kids would grow up together.....
I feel like it isn't talked about enough because the stunning visuals and just overall phenomenal story telling kind of overshadows it slightly, but the score in the background is easily one of the best movie soundtracks I have ever heard. It easily gives me this sense of youth and adventure that a lot of movies I've seen attempt to capture without much luck. It's nothing short of amazing. And they just keep getting better and better through each movie, fitting the mood and storyline shift for each one.
I only disagree that it "isn't talked about enough." I feel like whenever I've discussed this movie with people, the music is one of the first things people mention. Who doesn't love Test Drive? It's amazing.
Dreamworld for me has a lot of good soundtracks and storylines my favorite as a kid was spirit. It’s such a good movie and it addresses the history of America without avoiding the things that went down between the native Americans and the army.
When Dylan mentioned hiccup being the dragon itself… that would lead that universe in an interesting alternate direction. Imagine if the father never knew, nor did hiccup. Some people having that ability to shapeshift while other of the dragons are more wild since they cannot.
I think some of the shadowy lumps in the background of the scene where Stoick thinks Hiccup is gone are pieces of the big dragon. It's just too smoky to see the gore very clearly, which I'm sure was intentional.
I especially love how they built the lore into the story telling. If you pay attention, one of the training scenes actually set up the win against the queen. When Gobbler explained about the two-headed dragon, that one head produces gas while another lights it, it was actually setting up the fact that dragon fire works by producing a gas that they light in fire. Then, the scene with the tiny dragon showing they're not fireproof on the inside. Meaning that when they fought the queen, Hiccup had to wait until the queen had produced the gas, which you can see if you pay attention, and made Toothless shoot before the queen could light it up-making the gas turn to fire while it was still inside the queen, and turning her into basically a huge hot air balloon filled with burning gas that exploded when she hit the ground. It's why they waited until the has was built up before Toothless actually shot at her and it's brilliant storytelling.
There is at least one type of dragon whose fire isn't produced that way; the Monstrous Nightmare's spit ignites when in contact with air. That's how they can coat themselves in flames, and that also explains both the things that confused Dylan in the early fight scene: the rock itself wasn't burning, just the goo that the dragon spat on it, and the "lava" on the pillar that Dylan thought was melting iron was in fact more of the same goo.
Man, this series is so cool! They have over 160 different species of dragons in this series/world and it’s crazy to think someone sat down and thought up all of them
something i really love about toothless' personality that you might have not noticed is the fact that somehow this dragon understands the concept of aknowledging your wrongs and saying sorry. when he meets astrid he only starts being nice to her after she apologizes to hiccup during the flight scene, thats when he switches to a flight mode much more pleasing. this also happens at the end of the film when the father and rest of the village think that toothless wasnt able to save hiccup from the fires explosion. toothless only opens his wings to reveal hiccups actually safe when his father shows true regret and says sorry. this film is filled with little details that you only notice after watching it a hundred times (like i did) or after someone tells you and thats why i never get tired of watching it
I kind of wonder if he learned that from Hiccup. Hiccup is always apologizing! Even in the Forbidden Friendship scene, he's constantly backing off whenever Toothless gets defensive.
One thing I really love about this movie is the game between Hiccup and Toothless. When Hiccup ends up standing right next to the dragon, he takes a chance to pet him, but Toothless hesitates to let him. Then, Hiccup closes his eyes and looks away, while reaching out his hand. This... is an act of TRUST!!!! Hiccup is basically saying, "I trust that you will not hurt me if only you trust me, too. Because I don't want to hurt you anymore." Dreamworks has created a masterpiece
not sure if anyone cares lmao but on top of it being an act of trust for both characters, this is also the case with other animals, particularly horses which I imagine the team knew since the dragons' movements mimic other real animals. people are divided on if this is true or not but if to be believed: if you want to pet one and it isn't very used to humans, to show you're not a threat and respect its space, you have to use submissive body language at first - you aren't supposed to approach quickly head-on unless it's one that knows you well. you want to avoid hard eye contact and approach near their shoulders/side and watch for their comfortability before touching.
it's a pretty obvious plot, everyone called it and was waiting for it (with glee cause that shits awesome) ever since they made it clear that toothless was the "last" night fury. there's never a "last" anything in kid's media 💀
how to train your dragon is such an amazing franchise, each movie gets better and better and the world building and lore is fantastic. they really stand out amongst 'kids' movies. you should definitely check out the other two movies!
1:54 Dylan, if the wooden door was burnt once, it doesn't easily catch fire the second time. This pre-burning of wood was used many times in the past, to prevent fire spreading through a whole village or a city.
@@doubledorkCrawf0rd which is why some old fire doors are literally just very thick pieces of wood. As long as they last long enough to starve the fire of oxygen it won't come through. Plus have people tried lighting a very large lump of wood on fire before? its not that easy.
Every time Dylan waxes poetic about his preferred murder tangents I just crack up so hard. Dylan gleefully predicting Hiccup's vengeance upon his village at 18:20 is hysterical
I think the sequel is arguably as solid as the first with even more advanced visuals, so I'm looking forward to Dylan's reaction to it if he does continue the franchise!
I agree! My son became an amputee at 4 and watching the second movie really helped him accept it a lot. We actually donated a copy of it to the hospital for other newly amputee children.
I really hope Dylan watches the second and third one too because at the end it kinda looked like he was put off by it turning into a "franchise", and I know it's easy to assume that it's probably turned into another cashgrab series but it's really not. I haven't watched the shows personally, but the main HTTYD Trilogy is insanely good so I really hope he considers watching the other two movies as well.
you gotta remember that he doesn't watch these movies to actually enjoy them, he watches them to find little flaws and then complain about them for as long as he can lol. I'm sure there are plenty of other youtubers who actually give genuine reactions on this movie rather than use them as click bait to tell forced jokes lol
I love the whole HTTYD Franchise so far. Even the shows do a good job showing how the time passes and how the shows/series lead into the plot of the next movie.
Well.. I've seen him complain and beg for it to be over. This wasn't a hate to watch clearly, he said exactly the words "I love this" and praised the worldbuilding in it with the different dragon species and small details in the movie. He doesn't need to take everything seriously, like you said there are many others that do movie reactions/commentaries where they praise the movies, its a matter of preference, if his way isn't your cup of tea it's ok😊
As a long time fan of HTTYD and was (still have bits from the trilogy and TV show) well versed in the dragon biology and ecosystem, it was fun to see the love for the worldbuilding biology of dragons.
I really hope he does the second and third as well, because his predictions are on point. And I’m sure I’m not the only one that wants the series as well, but that’s probably not gunna happen.
Literally every time he said he wanted something to happen or predicted something, I was just like “pleaseeee everything you want is literally in the second movie”
The music in all three films is just OUTSTANDING. Also OH MY GOD can we talk about that SOUND DESIGN in the entire scene "Test Drive"?! The clicks of the gears, the whooshing air, just ahh so good. Talk about an eargasm. Not to mention the animation....some of the shots they get are stunning. It makes you feel like you're there on this Night Fury. Imagine seeing this in the theaters in 3D. I never got to see it in 3D, just 2D and I feel like I missed out. But god the details are so good especially on Toothless. They're smart in not COMPLETELY covering him with highly detailed scales, you just see that his skin is hard and rough, and the details are around his face-the ears, eyes and mouth. His paws and tail are also more detailed when it's an extreme close up. And a favorite detail is the air streams when Hiccup pulls Toothless out of the dive. And during that sequence, they're smart enough to never have too many wide shots-only once to have a bird's eye view of them moving in sync. But it's always a medium shot to feel that power. It's stunning. GOD DAMN STUNNING DIRECTION. This is why I love animation-while sound design in ANY film is hard to do and a LOT of work, in animation it's even MORE so a lot of hard work...Just imagining how many audio files they must've had to work with in all three films.....man. Animation in western film is extremely under appreciated and it's criminal. The OST for most animations are often ten times better than scores for live action films. Everything about animation is an art. And it should be god damn respected. "Test Drive" and "Coming Back Around" are some of my favorite scores of all time. It just makes you feel free, and it's so uplifting the composer John Powell is top tier. How he weaves motifs into certain parts of film is just MMMM. So good.
@@luthientinuviel3883 water that seed man lol. Encourage her that loving animation isn't something to be ashamed off; yes it is still seen as just for kids, and the more people that grow up to appreciate animation, the more that stigma will fcking break. Which is about damn time.
It's honestly the best Western animation film series to ever exist! Amongst the likes of Ice Age and Shrek film series, HTTYD actually managed to pull off not just one or two, but all THREE movies! Out of all the garbage we've seen, this is seriously quite the commendable feat ngl!
@@tegztegz It was so brave of dreamworks to allow the characters in an animated kids' franchise to grow up and become adults, since usually kids' characters are left the same age forever just to make the most profit for as long as possible. But with HTTYD, the kids who saw the first movie in 2010 got to really grow up with the characters over the span of almost 10 years, and as one of those kids, it was super special to see the last film at 21 years old and bawl my eyes out when it ended, realising that I had also grown up. The whole trilogy is just so refreshing and wonderful.
”Did they set up anything in the beginning to kill a massive dragon?" Technically yes since to pass the dragon training's final exam is to kill a dragon. Even though Hiccup didn't do it the way it was expected, by the end of the movie he did end up killing a dragon.
Loved this commentary, but as a very loyal fan of the HTTYD series, I would like to enter the conversation: Hiccup doesn't conquer dragons, he doesn't enslave them (not like some villains further along in the series), and the reason why he was the only one who could tame them, was because he was the only one who was shown the intelligence and the love and loyalty dragons can feel and developed techniques to create a bond of trust. Both equals in the relationship. Toothless isn't a pet, he allows Hiccup on his back because he trusts him.
HTTYD is easily one of the best animated franchises out there. I'd put it up against many live-action ones, too. I'm happy to see you enjoying this one! The lore is SO interesting, and the creativity with the different kinds of dragons is off the chain. I was caught off guard a few times, because Dylan sounds a lot like Jay Baruchel (Hiccup) so it was like "wait, what, Hiccup doesn't say that!"
I fell in love with this franchise as a kid, the world and lore is SO GOOD, and the story is really solid to boot. It's also nice how I grew up with it and the characters. I was mindblown after I found out that there are even water dragons. One of these can electrify others and eats dragons that fall on water, which is the reason why most species don't like eels, since they're "weaker" versions of these dangerous water dragons.
“You could take over the world with an army of dragons!”. Dylan, With that one comment right there, I hope you eventually watch the second one in your life and remember you said that. You’d probably love the second one from that right there
Little does Dylan know, there are two sequels, a special talking about different dragons, and two shows (one was on Cartoon Network and one on Netflix). Also, the movie series is based off of a book series.This for Dylan if he sees it for if he wants to continue the franchise…
ahhh i really hope you finish this trilogy someday!!! im so emotionally attached to this movie, the nostalgia i feel every time i watch it... ugh i love it. theyre honestly my favorite movie franchise and i love seeing people also become fans of it, especially with the world. ive always been a fan of dragons and this is just *chefs kiss*
It’s actually very interesting when you point out that Hiccup being able to control a dragon should be considered convenient and not as horrible as the father makes it to be, but eventually in the sequel it will be explained thoroughly why the dad acted as such when he finds out Hiccup’s secret. It comes full circle pretty dang nicely in my opinion ps. yes dreamworks def milked the franchise with the tv shows, but the movies were always made with a trilogy in mind since the very first!
I mean, if you're reffering to riders of berk and race to the edge i think its unfair to degrade them to just a cash grab. The amount of expanding lore, character development and intresting characters they added has a lot of value. Sure some of it doesn't entierly fit with the movies but still. The series detailing what happened between the 5 year time skip had a lot of thought put into it. However, if you're reffering to rescue riders.. i haven't watched it so i can't say for sure, but i can see what you mean if thats the show you're reffering to.
Riders and defenders of Berk were okay but Race to the Edge was fantastic. The villains were good, especially Viggo, and it filled in the huge jump between the first 2 movies. Also, in a movie, they can only give the supporting characters so much screen time as they have less time and need to focus on the main character. The TV shows helped to flesh out the secondary characters a lot more
I loved both those series they introduced a lot of lore, new dragons, kept two of the main cast members and introduced my favorite character, Dagur the Deranged
The point of the movie was that a young boy learns compassion that he wasn’t taught I don’t think this movie would’ve been a successful if the main character was a girl mainly because we have so many movies with female characters based on compassion and friendship but seeing a male main character fight for something he believes in without violence is really empowering and creates a Universal message
@@mayakane9978 you mean like,,, with men being emotional? Because there are a lot of stories with men, but they're always manly men, dealing with emotional baggage in non healthy ways, yadda yadda. Do you mean there aren't a lot of stories where men are shown to be emotional, compassionate, happy, etc?
so we arent gonna talk about how dylan just chatted through the test drive like it wasn't the best scene in movie history. I still put that song in earphones before a family event to channel power. IT IS SO GOOD!
I actually don't really like Stoick 😑, i mean he is stubborn, pretentious and sometimes he doesn't trust anyone, even his son! Also if his son do something bad(like what happened in the movie), he called him "not his son" anymore, i mean- what kind of dad is THAT? And when Hiccup did something good, he admits that he is his son "again"
3 movies, 2 tv shows and a bunch of shorts and they didn't mess up any of it. Like this is one of the best series where its consistently good throughout all of it enduring multiple writers and shows over many years. Its also so impressive how the worldbuilding intersects through all of it. The King of Dragons thing coming through in the second movie as well as in the Netflix show or the Hiccup's mom thing or even in the smaller arcs with Alvin and Dagur or Heather. Getting to know each dragon and their rider and their dynamics over multiple series is insane and I will stand by this being one of the most well made kids worlds ever created.
I foresee Dylan becoming the biggest fan of this movie series. After doing the commentary on HTTYD 2 and 3 he‘s going to fall in love with the tv series where they explore all the dragon species. Yes Dylan, there are 6 incredible seasons. Welcome to the fanclub!
Omg that woul be so cool, I hope he'll react to them, they were everything to me when I was a kid Oh and don't forget the four seasons of riders of Berk
Watching how much Dylan loves all the dragons that aren't even IN this movie just makes me really hope he'll react to the other two as well! It's a freaking masterpiece of a triology. Plus us HTTYD fans just know Dylan would love the Death Song
Love how dylan is constantly questioning if the queen dragon could physically fly, but absolutely ignores the bodz weight wing portion of the 14:53 dragon 😂
The way that dragon flies is like how a bee does tho 😂😂 and bees do not fly like birds. The way this dragon flapped its wings is different (it’s more rapid js like bees) from the queen dragon who flaps her wings slower.
I LOVE everything about this movie from the score, the characters, the animation, the storytelling it’s all beautiful and you can really see how much work they put into it
HTTYD is just such a solid trilogy. so much love was put into the other 2 movies and their plots, they feel like passion proects instead of cash grabs (unlike the shows). plus they get better w each movie which i feel like is rare when it comes to animation
I’m glad Dylan loves the different dragons aspect of this movie, that was also my favorite part, and I wished someone wrote a series about just the dragons for years. MAKE IT HAPPEN SOMEONE PLEASE
@@ZukoHalliwell u can add humans if u want, just dont make them the focal point like they are in these movies, the dragons are way more interesting and theres so much potential with different breeds
@@TransparentEclipse There is actually a serie that focus more in showing other types of dragons and their powers and how to really train them. The name is "Race to the edge"
@@thirstaefortae5057 huh, you know this is giving me middle school flashbacks to when my english teacher told me the exact same thing, I thought I learned my lesson and yet here I am. Anyways thanks for reminding me, maybe I had segway on the mind since I just rewatched mall cop, lol.
"Why would you call him Toothless just because he can retract his teeth. You wouldn't call a dog that was missing a leg 'Legless'." Me, who named my three-legged dog, Tripod: 😥
Dragons; Race to the Edge is actually a pretty good show. It takes place between movies 1 and 2 and actually explains a lot about how they advanced during that time and explores all sorts of dragon lore. Cool show.
Don’t forget Dragons:Race to the edge is part of the series started with Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk which would basically make those two the first two seasons, most people haven’t watched them cause they are not on Netflix but they also explore the lore and the first two years in between the first move and Race to the edge, you basically can’t fully understand Heather’s, Johan’s and Dagur’s plotlines without watching those
i absolutely like watching dylan watching bad movies and rant about them but watching him watching movies he enjoys? (rapunze, atlantis, … ) absolutely LOVE that
@@DarkMoonGeneral not at all. he wasn’t hating on it? or did i miss something think of the scene where hiccup skips through the dragon book - dylan loved it and they didn’t even show those dragon
@@milena-lj9yz He wasnt saying anything good. From hating the name Hiccup gave to the dragon ( toothless) To the Alpha dragon not able to fly. Then when it did he said no thats not possible. There wasnt a lot of positive in this review Because you said you love watching him rant about bad movies. But watching ones he enjoys you like more but he wasnt liking his movie. Least thats how it came off to me. And normally I like his reviews.
@@DarkMoonGeneral okay what i meant was like in the movie „the princess switch“ 1,2&3 he put the speed on 1.5x or faster cause he didn’t enjoy watching them. but in httyd he laughs a lot while watching it yk what i mean? in rapunzel and atlantis he rants about some things too but he stills seems like he enjoys watching them
10:19 There's actually serials Dragons: Riders of Berk and Dragons: Race to the Edge, that together make up 9 seasons. They continue the story after the first film, before the second one. They really open up more info about different dragons (whispering death is really cool, I love it) and the world itsef, and it has a lot of character getting revealed in it, too (especially the main team). There are also many other content on this topic, but these 2 are my favs for all time. I've watched all the 9 seasons trice.
His rant at the 24 mintue mark is literally exactly what the villain in the later movies is all about; *controlling* the dragons and using them for war and gaining more power, while abusing them at the same time.
One of my favorite lines in this movie is "chances of survival are dwindling into single digits now!" It's a funny line to me and I like it so much that I used it as my Senior quote in my High School yearbook!
They really should've shot the Big Dragon scenes in a way that captured less than 30% of it's body at any moment to kinda emphasis "wow it can even fit in camera it's so big". Or they should have a dragon or person in shot next to it at all times for a reference
Everyone here is talking about how symbolic this movie is and I'm just sitting here waiting for you to watch the other movies and see the MASSIVE glowup hiccup and astrid got
Are their voices changing too? I watched the german version where hiccup first has a ''late teen'' voice. Like ... deep and nearly the adult state, but still you hear, that it is a teenager. And in the last movie he and Astrid sound so adult ....
The first time I saw this movie as a kid, I was super impressed by the decision to have Hiccup lose a leg after his fight with the dragon, especially in a kids film produced by Dreamworks. It creates an interesting parallel to Toothless, since they're the same now.
Also disability representation for kids! I can imagine that it felt good for any physically disabled kid to see an amputee main character in a popular franchise!
Edit: I forgot, there are also lots of other amputee characters of all ages and genders, as well as strong female characters in every movie that are integral to the story
Edit 2: omg this movie keeps unfolding sorry lmao but this movie also shows how people with a common problem (i.e. being disabled) can work together to become strong and face adversity. Not only is this movie fabulously made, it's an important movie for ALL ages.
i see you with the addams family musical icon 👀
Ur right that was super smart pretty ironic yet realistic they did a very good job
Especially since Hiccup was the reason Toothless lost his tail wing, so it balances it out, I think.
It's also pretty smart because it was Hiccups fault that Toothless only has one tail wing when he tried to captire him and Hiccup lost his foot because Toothless bit it when he tried to safe him at the end and grabbed him, so you could say they're even now. I think he mentions that in the second movie as well.
Dylan talking and not realizing how similar his voice is to Hiccup's has been a highlight of my day
OMG, I thought it was just me thinking this! 😂
OH TRUEE! I re-watched the trilogy yesterday and thought why does Hiccup sounds familiar and search for the one that do the voice of hiccup in case I hear him in the other film and it's not... and it's turn out it feels familiar because it's Dylan voice😂
AHAHAHHAH I HOPE HE SEEES THISSS
oh my god HAHAHHA ur right
Now I can't unhear it 😂
Dylan: Thinks the name Toothless is dumb
Also Dylan: names this demon of the night sky Pippip
“Demon of the night sky” 😂
I thought it was written Pep Pep
I know, when he said that I thought of the name Pip-Squeak, which made me laugh even harder😂😂😭
Honestly for a animated movie I’d have expected some name like “Pip pip”
In fact in this day and age giving cute names to Monstrous things is seen more as a compliment, especially if it’s given more character depth, then the silly name is respected more and becomes so epic with context to the story
@@TheKpa11 Well, HTTYD was based off of a book series originally. The books are a lot different but toothless is the name of the main dragon, and Hiccup is the name of the main character. Otherwise though, they pretty much changed all the names and characters.
Damn. So many people miss that one crucial bit that makes Stoick a great character.
Right after he says "You're not my son" and leaves. You missed the absolutely _crushing_ guilt he felt. He literally _staggered back_ with what he'd just said, before pushing on to leave.
Thank you!
I was absolutely devastated in the second movie when Stoick died. I loved the fact that a side character had a fully completed arc, and that he accepted his sons difference. Lovely character
Damn, I am absolutely devastated about you spoiling the second film... Could have given a warning
@@fabra1122 To be fair, it came out in 2014. More than enough time for most to watch it by now. Of course, there's plenty of people who haven't seen any of them, but still.
feeling guilty doesn't erase your wrong doings though , he's still a jerk lol
not only is hiccup losing a leg a parallel to toothless losing half his tail, toothless bit it off when trying to save him so he could shield him from the fire, like hiccup's trap cut the tail off at the start! i rewatched the film a few months ago and the lore is so much more complex with underlying meanings and messages than i picked up on as i kid i genuinely love this film
Oh, that makes so much sense, I always thought that he lost his leg because of the fire, wich didn't made sense to me since he was falling of head first. Thank you so much, love that detail
Re watching these films for the millionth time, I still notice new stuff 😌👌🏻✨
I didn’t realize Toothless bit it off! I always assumed his leg was so severely burned that they ended up having to amputate it. That’s so interesting!
There is so much throughout the series that most people miss
The fact that Toothless bit it off makes so much more sense!
as a disabled person who became disabled in my teens, i ADORED the fact they made hiccup lose his leg. it just meant a lot to see a kids character who’s the HERO have some sort of disability, and even one we see happen as well that isn’t framed in a very pitying way. not to mention he learned to adapt for toothless’ disability which just so happens to mirror his own, and they can take on the world together as disabled buddies doing cool shit. i still haven’t seen any of the other movies, but i know i need to sometime because i’ve heard at least the trilogy is really good
It's about owls and that's all I'll tell you
Watch them! They're kind of the only trilogy I'll ever like
@@merry_christmas every time i’ve looked they only had one of the 3 or like 1 and 3 up at the same time so i haven’t been able to😭
Similar for me. I lost my dad when I was 16 about the same time the second movie came out and I was at a real dark and cynical place. Seeing something bad happen in movies is great I think, because in real life there's also not always a happy end
I agree 🙌
When I saw this movie in theatres when I was a kid I was confused about how Hiccup would lose his leg when falling into a fire. but then the more Ive watched it the more I’ve come to realize that it was actually Toothless who takes his leg in order to save him. and that is another layer to their relationship as Hiccup is implied to be the one who takes Toothless’s wing. so when both are walking outside together at the end both are carrying the disability the other gave them and are then able to come together and be more than they were before.
Please don’t make me cry.
@@trisha4776 right?! 🥺 I immediately got tears in my eyes
I NEVER NOTICED THAT. HOLY SHIT.
wait what do you mean toothless took hiccup’s leg? like he had to bite it to save him??

12:12 it's actually for aerodynamic purposes. When flying at high speeds, the teeth make the skull unnecessarily thicker, retracting them gives night fury's a good 2-3 inches less.
Just because you can't take an extra 2-3 inches at speed doesn't mean a dragon can't

I saw the third movie one night in the theatres. The audience where all around 18-30 years old. I have never seen so many grown men cry (except for End game). I have never cried so much to a movie haha. One guy in front of me could not breathe bc he was bawling his eyes out. Saw him after the movie with his group of friends, still bawling his eyes out, them comforting him, he between his breath ”I... can’t... stop crying..”
Love this movie
Same I was like with 15 of my classmates we all cried
Can’t say anything I was bawling too 😭😭😭
I was 16 and I was bawling 😭
The first few times I watched the trailer for the third movie I cried of happines(I was 19 in my first year of uni). The third one was also the only one I watched in cinema and it was SO worth it
God I still remember watching the first movie in the cinema when I was 9, and watching the final film 10 years later really had me bawling. It's like the epitome of coming-of-age films and I feel really lucky I got to grow up alongside the characters and relate to their struggles.

I love Dylan's appreciation for all the unique dragon species, it's always been one of my favorite parts of this franchise!
No joke, the scene with the Dragon Manual was the scariest part when I was littl3, and is now one of my favorite parts of any animated movie!
The number of details he misses in the story telling, while also hyperfocusing on other details is very amusing
It's always my favorite parts of his videoes. The whole segment of him being like: did they set up a way for how to kill a god dragon earlier in the movie? is so funny because he also included the "not so fireproof on the inside"-scene, without knowing that it answered his question. Unintentional comedy gold haha
also love how he summoms physics majors because the big momma dragon can fly and forgets bee's exist. Some things defy physiks
@@user-qm8xe9tl9t Hahhaa that would be cool but sadly bees don’t defy physics. Though it would be cool to see a massive bees flying with tiny wings.

@@sharpeststraw Stoic in the second movie
@@Jjlinnyy NOOO (how?)
The idea of Astrid being a villian is a great concept. They really diluted her character in the other movies, but omg IMAGINE if they were lovers to enemies.
I wonder how they would've written the story with that concept of Astrid being the antagonist of the movie.
It would change a huge part of the series and the plots we see definitely wouldn't be the same. We would probably see Astrid tell Stoick about Hiccup and Toothless, instead of keeping his secret and helping him. That itself would change a lot and poses some interesting questions as to what this version would look like. Would Toothless still be captured or would we see Hiccup running off to escape with Toothless? If they escape, where would they go and what would be their next step? Would we still see the nest in this version? If Toothless isn't captured, how would they find the nest? Would the other teenagers still help Hiccup? Would Stoick continue to despise dragons or would he still have a moment where how he sees them changes? What is the reason Astrid hates/dislikes Hiccup (Are her parents pushing her to become a great dragon hunter and Hiccup is getting in the way of that? Did a family member get killed by a dragon?), what is her motivation? It is definitely an interesting concept, though in my opinion would be a totally different movie/series.
I am sorry about the rambling, it just got me think about what that would've looked like.

Dylan: this isn’t even possible let’s get the physics majors up in here

The little animation of Stoick getting almost lightheaded after telling Hiccup he wasn’t his son is just amazing. That one animation turned Stoick from an irredeemable asshole to a misguided man blinded by pride and tradition who still has the ability to change. Obviously it doesn’t hit for everyone but it gets the message across for most. This is the Dreamworks I miss. This is one of the few movies I truely consider 10 out of 10, every fiber of it is made with genuine love and care for the characters and storytelling.
And don’t worry Dylan, if you didn’t feel like you could feel the size of the queen dragon just wait for the next film :)
I’m so glad someone mentioned this. That scene is so important and makes the turn to “I’m proud to call you my son” better, because you could see he immediately regretted saying the opposite before.

This trilogy makes me emotional cos its just so damn amazing
I really liked Toothless’s interactions with Stoick in this film, especially near the end. It really adds to show that dragons are capable of complex thought like humans are. Stoick had been nothing but hostile towards both Toothless and Hiccup (that Toothless had witnessed), so he had no reason to save Stoick at the end. Saving him anyway proved that the dragons aren’t mindlessly evil. Plus the callback to the flying scene with Astrid too. Toothless didn’t reveal Hiccup was safe until Stoick had apologized for his actions.
T’s always looking out for Hiccup. I love that!! 💚💚

Ok i gotta interject.... HTTYD 3 was by far not as good as 1 and 2 imo. It was way too predictable.... plus.... 👉👈🥺 I was hoping Hiccup and Toothless' kids would grow up together.....
8:34 this is the greatest transition to an ad break I’ve ever seen and I’m so mad and impressed at the same time
I feel like it isn't talked about enough because the stunning visuals and just overall phenomenal story telling kind of overshadows it slightly, but the score in the background is easily one of the best movie soundtracks I have ever heard. It easily gives me this sense of youth and adventure that a lot of movies I've seen attempt to capture without much luck. It's nothing short of amazing. And they just keep getting better and better through each movie, fitting the mood and storyline shift for each one.
I only disagree that it "isn't talked about enough." I feel like whenever I've discussed this movie with people, the music is one of the first things people mention. Who doesn't love Test Drive? It's amazing.
Dreamworld for me has a lot of good soundtracks and storylines my favorite as a kid was spirit. It’s such a good movie and it addresses the history of America without avoiding the things that went down between the native Americans and the army.
💯!!!
Yessss. I tear up just listening to the theme when Hiccup and Toothless are flying. There’s something about it that is perfection.
You're not wrong about the soundtrack. My UA-cam history will show hours worth of Httyd music because it's great for studying.
Dylan's transition to audible sponsorship is always so clever and funny
I KNEW it it was coming I was like:” oh my days” and just laughed
SO clever! I literally lol-ed.
I usually skip through adds in videos but Dylan seemd extra happy/smily in this one 🥺✨ plus the leather jacket I mean 👀
This was definitely the smoothest one yet
I love how Dylan accidentally predicts the 2nd movie like 5 separate times.
1. Dragon army
2. Dead dad
The 3rd on two with the predicting of there being another night fury and it being Toothless’ girlfriend @ 33:04
it’s scripted
When Dylan mentioned hiccup being the dragon itself… that would lead that universe in an interesting alternate direction. Imagine if the father never knew, nor did hiccup. Some people having that ability to shapeshift while other of the dragons are more wild since they cannot.
I cannot believe nobody is mentioning the fact that Dylan sounds just like Hiccup. The surreal-ness of listening to Hiccup talk about Hiccup 😂
Oh god thank you it wasn’t just me 😂
I was looking for this comment lol
OMG
I JUST NOTICED OMG
EXACTLY!!!!
“You didn’t show me any death”
Literally just watched a god dragon explode so hard there was no sign of the body afterwards
I think some of the shadowy lumps in the background of the scene where Stoick thinks Hiccup is gone are pieces of the big dragon. It's just too smoky to see the gore very clearly, which I'm sure was intentional.
I especially love how they built the lore into the story telling. If you pay attention, one of the training scenes actually set up the win against the queen. When Gobbler explained about the two-headed dragon, that one head produces gas while another lights it, it was actually setting up the fact that dragon fire works by producing a gas that they light in fire. Then, the scene with the tiny dragon showing they're not fireproof on the inside.
Meaning that when they fought the queen, Hiccup had to wait until the queen had produced the gas, which you can see if you pay attention, and made Toothless shoot before the queen could light it up-making the gas turn to fire while it was still inside the queen, and turning her into basically a huge hot air balloon filled with burning gas that exploded when she hit the ground. It's why they waited until the has was built up before Toothless actually shot at her and it's brilliant storytelling.
Oh wow!!! Never realised this. Thanks you so much!! Love the story telling for sure.
There is at least one type of dragon whose fire isn't produced that way; the Monstrous Nightmare's spit ignites when in contact with air. That's how they can coat themselves in flames, and that also explains both the things that confused Dylan in the early fight scene: the rock itself wasn't burning, just the goo that the dragon spat on it, and the "lava" on the pillar that Dylan thought was melting iron was in fact more of the same goo.
That sounds like a very painful way to go out
Man, this series is so cool! They have over 160 different species of dragons in this series/world and it’s crazy to think someone sat down and thought up all of them
Sorry, correction, over 600 different species of dragons 🤯
Sounds right up my alley!
I'M GOING TO CRY. This is the best movie of my childhood and I cry every time I watch it.
fr, this is my favorite animated movie series
SAME
Same here
Saaame
mE TOOOOOOO 😭😭 i love these movies with my whole heart
something i really love about toothless' personality that you might have not noticed is the fact that somehow this dragon understands the concept of aknowledging your wrongs and saying sorry. when he meets astrid he only starts being nice to her after she apologizes to hiccup during the flight scene, thats when he switches to a flight mode much more pleasing.
this also happens at the end of the film when the father and rest of the village think that toothless wasnt able to save hiccup from the fires explosion. toothless only opens his wings to reveal hiccups actually safe when his father shows true regret and says sorry.
this film is filled with little details that you only notice after watching it a hundred times (like i did) or after someone tells you and thats why i never get tired of watching it
I kind of wonder if he learned that from Hiccup. Hiccup is always apologizing! Even in the Forbidden Friendship scene, he's constantly backing off whenever Toothless gets defensive.
I really hope Dylan does the whole trilogy. I’ve watched this video about 100 times and I need more!
One thing I really love about this movie is the game between Hiccup and Toothless. When Hiccup ends up standing right next to the dragon, he takes a chance to pet him, but Toothless hesitates to let him. Then, Hiccup closes his eyes and looks away, while reaching out his hand. This... is an act of TRUST!!!!
Hiccup is basically saying, "I trust that you will not hurt me if only you trust me, too. Because I don't want to hurt you anymore."
Dreamworks has created a masterpiece
i am sobbing
This is why it was more heartbreaking in the 3rd movie where it was a parallel to the first one, but this time it's a goodbye 😭
It’s also super reminiscent of Free Willy. For me it is anyway 😅
not sure if anyone cares lmao but on top of it being an act of trust for both characters, this is also the case with other animals, particularly horses which I imagine the team knew since the dragons' movements mimic other real animals.
people are divided on if this is true or not but if to be believed: if you want to pet one and it isn't very used to humans, to show you're not a threat and respect its space, you have to use submissive body language at first - you aren't supposed to approach quickly head-on unless it's one that knows you well. you want to avoid hard eye contact and approach near their shoulders/side and watch for their comfortability before touching.
"theres probably a sequel, with like another night fury" HOW IS HE ALWAYS RIGHT
No, he says everything random until its right lol
but that doesn't even make sense
it's a pretty obvious plot, everyone called it and was waiting for it (with glee cause that shits awesome) ever since they made it clear that toothless was the "last" night fury. there's never a "last" anything in kid's media 💀
technically he's still the last night fury

1:54 Dylan, if the wooden door was burnt once, it doesn't easily catch fire the second time. This pre-burning of wood was used many times in the past, to prevent fire spreading through a whole village or a city.

@@doubledorkCrawf0rd which is why some old fire doors are literally just very thick pieces of wood. As long as they last long enough to starve the fire of oxygen it won't come through. Plus have people tried lighting a very large lump of wood on fire before? its not that easy.

Yes i will think about it
Every time Dylan waxes poetic about his preferred murder tangents I just crack up so hard. Dylan gleefully predicting Hiccup's vengeance upon his village at 18:20 is hysterical

I really hope Dylan watches the second and third one too because at the end it kinda looked like he was put off by it turning into a "franchise", and I know it's easy to assume that it's probably turned into another cashgrab series but it's really not. I haven't watched the shows personally, but the main HTTYD Trilogy is insanely good so I really hope he considers watching the other two movies as well.
you gotta remember that he doesn't watch these movies to actually enjoy them, he watches them to find little flaws and then complain about them for as long as he can lol. I'm sure there are plenty of other youtubers who actually give genuine reactions on this movie rather than use them as click bait to tell forced jokes lol
I love the whole HTTYD Franchise so far. Even the shows do a good job showing how the time passes and how the shows/series lead into the plot of the next movie.
Well.. I've seen him complain and beg for it to be over. This wasn't a hate to watch clearly, he said exactly the words "I love this" and praised the worldbuilding in it with the different dragon species and small details in the movie. He doesn't need to take everything seriously, like you said there are many others that do movie reactions/commentaries where they praise the movies, its a matter of preference, if his way isn't your cup of tea it's ok😊
@@konstantina7921 exactly
AGREE
As a long time fan of HTTYD and was (still have bits from the trilogy and TV show) well versed in the dragon biology and ecosystem, it was fun to see the love for the worldbuilding biology of dragons.
I really hope he does the second and third as well, because his predictions are on point. And I’m sure I’m not the only one that wants the series as well, but that’s probably not gunna happen.
I’d love him to do a first and last on the series.
@@simplesimply3753 that would be amazing, I agree
Literally every time he said he wanted something to happen or predicted something, I was just like “pleaseeee everything you want is literally in the second movie”
@@itsallchillbruh I know! I’m gunna be UPSET if he doesn’t watch at least the second one. This should be a series
@@kiva_rae9598 also let’s not ignore his comment “OHH KILL THE DAD” when toothless tackled hiccups dad LMAO
The music in all three films is just OUTSTANDING. Also OH MY GOD can we talk about that SOUND DESIGN in the entire scene "Test Drive"?!
The clicks of the gears, the whooshing air, just ahh so good. Talk about an eargasm. Not to mention the animation....some of the shots they get are stunning. It makes you feel like you're there on this Night Fury. Imagine seeing this in the theaters in 3D. I never got to see it in 3D, just 2D and I feel like I missed out. But god the details are so good especially on Toothless. They're smart in not COMPLETELY covering him with highly detailed scales, you just see that his skin is hard and rough, and the details are around his face-the ears, eyes and mouth. His paws and tail are also more detailed when it's an extreme close up. And a favorite detail is the air streams when Hiccup pulls Toothless out of the dive. And during that sequence, they're smart enough to never have too many wide shots-only once to have a bird's eye view of them moving in sync. But it's always a medium shot to feel that power. It's stunning. GOD DAMN STUNNING DIRECTION.
This is why I love animation-while sound design in ANY film is hard to do and a LOT of work, in animation it's even MORE so a lot of hard work...Just imagining how many audio files they must've had to work with in all three films.....man. Animation in western film is extremely under appreciated and it's criminal. The OST for most animations are often ten times better than scores for live action films. Everything about animation is an art. And it should be god damn respected. "Test Drive" and "Coming Back Around" are some of my favorite scores of all time. It just makes you feel free, and it's so uplifting the composer John Powell is top tier. How he weaves motifs into certain parts of film is just MMMM. So good.
My youngest sister loves the music of this movie! It's one of her favorite things to listen to. She's six years old and has incredible taste already!
@@luthientinuviel3883 water that seed man lol. Encourage her that loving animation isn't something to be ashamed off; yes it is still seen as just for kids, and the more people that grow up to appreciate animation, the more that stigma will fcking break. Which is about damn time.
I love test drive, it’s one of the most memorable soundtracks ever
did you know one of the animators for HTTYD 1 & 2 is a grad from Full Sail University? ;D
@@wheelycutetweety wait omg that's amazing lol
I’m hoping that Dylan continues his journey on HTTYD because every movie of this franchise is a masterpiece !!
It's honestly the best Western animation film series to ever exist! Amongst the likes of Ice Age and Shrek film series, HTTYD actually managed to pull off not just one or two, but all THREE movies!
Out of all the garbage we've seen, this is seriously quite the commendable feat ngl!
My absolute favourite thing is that the characters are visibly older, its so unique to see
@@tegztegz It was so brave of dreamworks to allow the characters in an animated kids' franchise to grow up and become adults, since usually kids' characters are left the same age forever just to make the most profit for as long as possible. But with HTTYD, the kids who saw the first movie in 2010 got to really grow up with the characters over the span of almost 10 years, and as one of those kids, it was super special to see the last film at 21 years old and bawl my eyes out when it ended, realising that I had also grown up. The whole trilogy is just so refreshing and wonderful.
”Did they set up anything in the beginning to kill a massive dragon?"
Technically yes since to pass the dragon training's final exam is to kill a dragon. Even though Hiccup didn't do it the way it was expected, by the end of the movie he did end up killing a dragon.
And also Hiccup finds out that dragons aren’t fireproof on the inside when the terrible terror stole the fish.
Loved this commentary, but as a very loyal fan of the HTTYD series, I would like to enter the conversation:
Hiccup doesn't conquer dragons, he doesn't enslave them (not like some villains further along in the series), and the reason why he was the only one who could tame them, was because he was the only one who was shown the intelligence and the love and loyalty dragons can feel and developed techniques to create a bond of trust. Both equals in the relationship. Toothless isn't a pet, he allows Hiccup on his back because he trusts him.
HTTYD is easily one of the best animated franchises out there. I'd put it up against many live-action ones, too. I'm happy to see you enjoying this one! The lore is SO interesting, and the creativity with the different kinds of dragons is off the chain.
I was caught off guard a few times, because Dylan sounds a lot like Jay Baruchel (Hiccup) so it was like "wait, what, Hiccup doesn't say that!"
Bro yes he does I was bugging especially at the point where Hiccup was with the toothless like a small dragon came he sounded exactly like him.
Absolutely, I love the movies, the episodes in the series, though not the books.. likely because I've already seen the movies before a read the books.
Even the shows based on the movies are pretty good !
And he says "dragons" the same way hiccup does
I fell in love with this franchise as a kid, the world and lore is SO GOOD, and the story is really solid to boot. It's also nice how I grew up with it and the characters. I was mindblown after I found out that there are even water dragons. One of these can electrify others and eats dragons that fall on water, which is the reason why most species don't like eels, since they're "weaker" versions of these dangerous water dragons.
Dylans ability to predict future thing (like the series ... even though its already out.) amazes me.
“You could take over the world with an army of dragons!”. Dylan, With that one comment right there, I hope you eventually watch the second one in your life and remember you said that. You’d probably love the second one from that right there
Or the 3rd one lmao
Hahaha exactly, I hope he watches the second movie and remembers himself saying this xDD
Exactly what I was thinking haha
* door gets hit with fire and doesn’t burn *
dylan: “do they have anti-fireproof doors?”
dylan babe that’s an oxymoron & doesn’t make sense
Ugly laughed at this lmao
Little does Dylan know, there are two sequels, a special talking about different dragons, and two shows (one was on Cartoon Network and one on Netflix). Also, the movie series is based off of a book series.This for Dylan if he sees it for if he wants to continue the franchise…
Yes!! I read the book in elementary school, it was such a fun read! Made the movie’s announcement even more exciting (:
Yes yes!
Omg yes I love the dragons race to the edge series. I binged watched that whole show in a couple weeks
@@wrong_hordak2071 I loved the book as a kid. Was so excited when the movie came out
Books? There are books? *perks up* where?
ahhh i really hope you finish this trilogy someday!!! im so emotionally attached to this movie, the nostalgia i feel every time i watch it... ugh i love it. theyre honestly my favorite movie franchise and i love seeing people also become fans of it, especially with the world. ive always been a fan of dragons and this is just *chefs kiss*
It’s actually very interesting when you point out that Hiccup being able to control a dragon should be considered convenient and not as horrible as the father makes it to be, but eventually in the sequel it will be explained thoroughly why the dad acted as such when he finds out Hiccup’s secret. It comes full circle pretty dang nicely in my opinion
ps.
yes dreamworks def milked the franchise with the tv shows, but the movies were always made with a trilogy in mind since the very first!
I mean, if you're reffering to riders of berk and race to the edge i think its unfair to degrade them to just a cash grab. The amount of expanding lore, character development and intresting characters they added has a lot of value. Sure some of it doesn't entierly fit with the movies but still. The series detailing what happened between the 5 year time skip had a lot of thought put into it.
However, if you're reffering to rescue riders.. i haven't watched it so i can't say for sure, but i can see what you mean if thats the show you're reffering to.
Riders and defenders of Berk were okay but Race to the Edge was fantastic. The villains were good, especially Viggo, and it filled in the huge jump between the first 2 movies. Also, in a movie, they can only give the supporting characters so much screen time as they have less time and need to focus on the main character. The TV shows helped to flesh out the secondary characters a lot more
I loved both those series they introduced a lot of lore, new dragons, kept two of the main cast members and introduced my favorite character, Dagur the Deranged
Im your 666th like
thoroughly*
The point of the movie was that a young boy learns compassion that he wasn’t taught I don’t think this movie would’ve been a successful if the main character was a girl mainly because we have so many movies with female characters based on compassion and friendship but seeing a male main character fight for something he believes in without violence is really empowering and creates a Universal message
Also I feel bad for guys, they don't get all that many good stories focused just on them these days
@@mayakane9978 girl what
@@mayakane9978 you mean like,,, with men being emotional? Because there are a lot of stories with men, but they're always manly men, dealing with emotional baggage in non healthy ways, yadda yadda. Do you mean there aren't a lot of stories where men are shown to be emotional, compassionate, happy, etc?
That and it includes a handicapped main character who isn’t held back by it.
@@mayakane9978 OH! Also I was asking a genuine question earlier, I wasn't attacking you sjdhdj
Dylan: "You could take over the world with an army of dragons!!!"
Second movie: exists
third movie : also exists but with more war plot
@@arinahfatini3161 and death
I hate (love) how good at sponsor transitions dylan is.
Dylan: Calls the dragon "pip-pip" the whole movie
Also Dylan: says "toothless" is a dumb name
so we arent gonna talk about how dylan just chatted through the test drive like it wasn't the best scene in movie history. I still put that song in earphones before a family event to channel power. IT IS SO GOOD!
I know righttt
i think he had to talk over it bc it might be copyrighted music haha
But the soundtrack! Come on!!!
I 100% agree. I oftentimes watch it just because. Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
yessssss omg
"oh kill his father!"
Dylan, buddy.....
you should watch the next one
NOOO
Nononono😭
YES! WATCH ALL OF THEM
the family was SO close to a happy ending
I actually don't really like Stoick 😑, i mean he is stubborn, pretentious and sometimes he doesn't trust anyone, even his son! Also if his son do something bad(like what happened in the movie), he called him "not his son" anymore, i mean- what kind of dad is THAT? And when Hiccup did something good, he admits that he is his son "again"
3 movies, 2 tv shows and a bunch of shorts and they didn't mess up any of it. Like this is one of the best series where its consistently good throughout all of it enduring multiple writers and shows over many years. Its also so impressive how the worldbuilding intersects through all of it. The King of Dragons thing coming through in the second movie as well as in the Netflix show or the Hiccup's mom thing or even in the smaller arcs with Alvin and Dagur or Heather. Getting to know each dragon and their rider and their dynamics over multiple series is insane and I will stand by this being one of the most well made kids worlds ever created.
I foresee Dylan becoming the biggest fan of this movie series. After doing the commentary on HTTYD 2 and 3 he‘s going to fall in love with the tv series where they explore all the dragon species. Yes Dylan, there are 6 incredible seasons. Welcome to the fanclub!
8 seasons* +short films
He's gonna love the dark/heartbreaking side of the sequels
Omg that woul be so cool, I hope he'll react to them, they were everything to me when I was a kid
Oh and don't forget the four seasons of riders of Berk
@@Julia-gc9ns that’s if he’s not to busy joking every 5 seconds
Watching how much Dylan loves all the dragons that aren't even IN this movie just makes me really hope he'll react to the other two as well! It's a freaking masterpiece of a triology. Plus us HTTYD fans just know Dylan would love the Death Song
dude he'd LOVE the screaming death too. and I reckon he'd be a razorwhip fan
the tv show too!
AND For the dancing and the dreaming🥺 I really wanna see him cry at stoik’s death after this video 😂😂😂
He could watch the dvd short film series that happens between the 1st movie and the 2nd movie.
Dylan: We're gonna end this year with a wholesome movie
Also Dylan: spends the whole time wanting murder/ being unhappy with the wholesomeness
Love how dylan is constantly questioning if the queen dragon could physically fly, but absolutely ignores the bodz weight wing portion of the 14:53 dragon 😂
The way that dragon flies is like how a bee does tho 😂😂 and bees do not fly like birds. The way this dragon flapped its wings is different (it’s more rapid js like bees) from the queen dragon who flaps her wings slower.
I LOVE everything about this movie from the score, the characters, the animation, the storytelling it’s all beautiful and you can really see how much work they put into it
This is one of my favourite movies franchises because the plot is so good and the characters are awesome
HTTYD is just such a solid trilogy. so much love was put into the other 2 movies and their plots, they feel like passion proects instead of cash grabs (unlike the shows). plus they get better w each movie which i feel like is rare when it comes to animation
You talking about rescue riders?
The shows aren't cash crabs they are showing the timeline between the film's, unless your talking about rescue riders and the 9 realms
I personally liked race to the edge but didn’t find any others super interesting
Race to the edge is not a cash grab though, that show is awesome
projects*
I’m glad Dylan loves the different dragons aspect of this movie, that was also my favorite part, and I wished someone wrote a series about just the dragons for years. MAKE IT HAPPEN SOMEONE PLEASE
You want a series about just the dragons with no human characters at all?
@@ZukoHalliwell u can add humans if u want, just dont make them the focal point like they are in these movies, the dragons are way more interesting and theres so much potential with different breeds
I was pretty sure this was a book first…
@@TransparentEclipse There is actually a serie that focus more in showing other types of dragons and their powers and how to really train them. The name is "Race to the edge"

DUDE MY TEAMMATE DID THE SAME THING
Dragons; Race to the Edge is actually a pretty good show. It takes place between movies 1 and 2 and actually explains a lot about how they advanced during that time and explores all sorts of dragon lore. Cool show.
Don’t forget Dragons:Race to the edge is part of the series started with Riders of Berk and Defenders of Berk which would basically make those two the first two seasons, most people haven’t watched them cause they are not on Netflix but they also explore the lore and the first two years in between the first move and Race to the edge, you basically can’t fully understand Heather’s, Johan’s and Dagur’s plotlines without watching those
@@diosito9161 thank you! I didn't even know these existed :) gotta check it out !
I watched the show probably around 20ish times when I was a kid it was my favorite 💀

this movie was just amazing; the story, the graphics, the soundtrack... ugh, a masterpiece

absolutely LOVE that
Are you saying how to train your dragon is a bad movie based on what he said during this one cause he was hating on it.
@@DarkMoonGeneral not at all. he wasn’t hating on it? or did i miss something
think of the scene where hiccup skips through the dragon book - dylan loved it and they didn’t even show those dragon
@@DarkMoonGeneral btw i love that movie & the other 2, i‘d never say they’re bad

Least thats how it came off to me. And normally I like his reviews.
@@DarkMoonGeneral okay what i meant was like in the movie „the princess switch“ 1,2&3 he put the speed on 1.5x or faster cause he didn’t enjoy watching them. but in httyd he laughs a lot while watching it yk what i mean?
in rapunzel and atlantis he rants about some things too but he stills seems like he enjoys watching them
10:19 There's actually serials Dragons: Riders of Berk and Dragons: Race to the Edge, that together make up 9 seasons. They continue the story after the first film, before the second one. They really open up more info about different dragons (whispering death is really cool, I love it) and the world itsef, and it has a lot of character getting revealed in it, too (especially the main team). There are also many other content on this topic, but these 2 are my favs for all time. I've watched all the 9 seasons trice.
"Do they have anti-fireproof doors?"
Dylan, sweetie, that's just a door.
His rant at the 24 mintue mark is literally exactly what the villain in the later movies is all about; *controlling* the dragons and using them for war and gaining more power, while abusing them at the same time.
😂😂😂
One of my favorite lines in this movie is "chances of survival are dwindling into single digits now!" It's a funny line to me and I like it so much that I used it as my Senior quote in my High School yearbook!
I never noticed this line haha, but now I love it
Thats a sick senior quote! ❤️🔥
They really should've shot the Big Dragon scenes in a way that captured less than 30% of it's body at any moment to kinda emphasis "wow it can even fit in camera it's so big". Or they should have a dragon or person in shot next to it at all times for a reference
100% with that, they did a great job with the sound design, it sounds absolutely massive but you just can't feel it visually
Everyone here is talking about how symbolic this movie is and I'm just sitting here waiting for you to watch the other movies and see the MASSIVE glowup hiccup and astrid got
Are their voices changing too?
I watched the german version where hiccup first has a ''late teen'' voice. Like ... deep and nearly the adult state, but still you hear, that it is a teenager. And in the last movie he and Astrid sound so adult ....
