The 2 animated series covers the 5 years between 1st and 2nd films. You should do that if you can. The same voice actors and the series is pretty good. Riders of Berk and Race to the Edge(RTTE)
My favorite thing about these movies is that they do the thing that animation rarely seems to do, at least not as well. There's growth and aging the likes of which you rarely see animated. It's clear that hiccup is older in the movie and he's damn near a full grown adult in the third. It gives that feeling you got with the Potter films, growing up with the characters year to year.
It isn't just that he is older, remember, his mom said it had been 20 years and Hiccup was a baby, so that would put him 14 to 15 in the first movie and around 20 in this one.
This is me rewatching this reaction and just now I've come to realize that Stoick loved his wife VERY MUCH and they were only able to be together for just hours. This breaks my heart
I always get emotional when Stoick is courting Velka. He never got to say goodbye those 20 years ago, believing her gone and basically having moved on. But now that he's reunited he holds that note in the song, leaving it open for her to decide if she wants to reciprocate. And when she continues to hesitate after his second attempt he starts to turn away, accepting her refusal and interpreting it as that time of them being together was over. And I believe he would have fully accepted that and moved on with his life, because this time he at least gets to say goodbye.
@@bhargavipba yeah I think they meant more "accepted that she was gone," not moved on like "stopped being in love with her" or "fell in love with someone else." At least I hope that's how they meant it 😊
Thank you, Oak, for showing your emotions and always so openly talking about it! It may not look like much, but some people can really use to know that it's okay to be vulnerable sometimes.
oh man it's hard to see the oak breaking down :")) I haven't rewatched this in a long time and wow i completely forgot how powerful the scene after hiccup's dad died. It must've hit so close to home for a lot of people. Including me... Beautiful scene, indeed.
Fun fact: In the dad’s death scene, the reason Hiccup told his dad no! while he was trying rushing in and to save Hiccup is because Hiccup has trained for moments when Toothless goes wild. Hiccup was planning to dodge Toothless. So Hiccup felt like it was truly his fault when Stoic died. 😢
I had no clue! Did that happen in one of the shows? Because I LOVE Httyd, but the shows’ animation didn’t do it for me so I never watched them. But I do know they impact the movies in some ways, so that might be why I didn’t know about this.
You know I've seen thoses episodes in questions a fair few times but just now with your comment I put 2 and 2 together and holy hell it hurts even more
23:16 It's really subtle but it's funny how Stormfly took a liking to him in the first place. Back when hiccup tried to give themselves up, Eret kept trying to throw the fire sword hilt away and Stormfly kept excitedly bringing it back. 10:18 He was playing fetch without even knowing it.
I like that Toothless was the one to end Drago. He felt horrible for being the one who killed Stoick and hurt Hiccup. Imagine the satisfaction Toothless had when he was able to take Drago out. Almost like his way to apologize and redem himself.
@@AnCatalyst WELL if we're speaking HONESTLY.... The other Alpha was the one that actually made Toothless kill Stoick. So I guess Dragos' hands are clean. My POINT is that Toothless was the one to stop the threat that instigated Stoick's death. And he can take pride in protecting his family and friends.
I was the Oak during the funeral scene, too. 😂Also to give context to Stoick's behavior from the first movie now that you've seen the second one, the only person Stoick had ever seen command dragons prior to Hiccup is Drago, who murdered all of the other chieftains when they refused to hand over power to him. Imagine seeing such horrible cruelty carried out in front of your eyes and then the next person you see with that unique and incredible power is your own son. Not only your son but your son who has spent his whole life seeking acceptance and is now gaining attention and authority among his peers. Are y'all familiar with the proverb, "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth"? Hiccup could have very easily become Drago as a result of circumstance and environment. I think a lot of Stoick's anger came from fearing that his son having this ability would lead him down a dark path and turn him into a conqueror who destroys only for the pleasure of being king of the ashes.
So real, it is so often overlooked how similar hiccup is to drago and even grimmel, just one different choice and he could have become the villain of his own story.
Two things come to mind: This movie shows that Stoic and Hiccup are the same man, but in different ways. They are both just and honorable men. Hiccup had honorable albeit naive intentions of being the diplomat, believing he could win anyone over with reason. Stoic was also an honorable man, who preferred peace but understood that some people can't be won over, they must be defeated to protect "his own". Most animated movies add in the animals for comic relief, even giving them human characteristics and sometimes those of other species than their own. What's unique about Toothless is that, while adding in plenty of comedic moments and personality traits, there are some dramatic and even tragic sides to him in this film especially.
What I love most about HTTYD is the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless (which is not a surprise). But what makes me love this is the fact that they didn't do that typical "owner and his cute, silly pet" relationship, you know? You notice little things between them in the scenes, like Toothless helping Hiccup climb somewhere. They even tease each other! It really feels like a best friends relationship!
I absolutely love you guys, my favorite reaction channel! You guys watch everything with so much emotion, attention and really get into the story. Love to see how your channel grows
I just wanna hug Oak. Yall made Hiccups speech even more emotional with the removing of the music and lowering it. My God. I can't cry at work, stop it. Well Drago was trying to take out Hiccup. To me that hits different when you think about it. Being killed by your best friend. Stoick decided to sacrifice himself for Hiccup. To me there's no greater sacrifice and I forever love Stoick for it. This is one of my favorite trilogies ever.
I love my dad more than anyone, this movie really wrecked my emotions first time through 😢 I appreciate so much how you guys feel all the feelings that the creators intended, without being embarrassed about crying or talking about the hard things in life. Best react channel around ❤
Hiccup's eulogy for Stoick hit me so hard in theaters when I watched this. I had never in my life really contemplated how to put into words the way I feel about my Dad. Especially if I had to say goodbye while doing it. I was 22 years old at the time and just bawling like a baby because Hiccup was just saying everything I felt perfectly about my father. How can I ever live up to someone as great as my father?!
This trilogy is one of my all time favorites. Toothless is my all time favorite animated creature. The music (especially the main theme) gets me emotional every time I hear it. And what I love most is that it feels like the series matures with its audience. You see over 3 movies the maturing of all the characters and the visuals just blow me away every time I watch. I have to remind myself that it is a CG animated movie and not already live action with some of the shots they get.
If you wanna get cold chills, look up the How to Train Your Dragon main theme played on a pipe organ. When they hit the low notes, instant cold chills for me.
It’s rare that a sequel in a trilogy can hit absolutely everything it needs to hit without feeling like “it’s not as good as the first”or needing some kind of redemption in the third. Such a great trilogy! ♥️
53:28 the reason valka is not explored in the 1st movie is that in early stages she was actually present but then the directing team made the choice to cut her out so that they can focus on this rocky son and father relationship. And since there is literally no book paralel in the 2nd movie they had to chance to invent her so elements that could've been put in the 1st movie were not even created yet.
I love this movie so much, the emotional damage that it gave me will never be forgotten😂 Watching this having the same age as hiccup feels even better, like we grow up together🥰🇧🇷
Same here...well I was about to turn 11 when I saw the first movie in theaters in 2010, then i had just turned 15 when the second movie came out...and in the third I was 20 I literally grew up with this franchise and all it's characters and I love it so much ❤🖤
This is honestly the best of the three IMO. The lore it establishes, the new characters, the emotion, and score is even better. Especially that opening song when Hiccup and Toothless are flying through the air.
Love this movie, I also love that they didn't do anything to Astrid in making her and Hicup fight or have anything other then a healthy supportive relationship.
These 3 movies are among the best animated films ever. They really nailed them. The look, the quality of animation, the characters, the stories. The death of Stoick and Hiccup realizing he has to step up hits hard. Tear jerker every single time I see it. Because Stoick really was that good of a person. The world feels lived in and real. The characters feel real, they age, they worry, they lose.
Let's be real, the live action will not hold up to the OG, I love this trilogy but it's gonna probably get butchered because of terrible remakes. as long as its better than the air bender live action movie, I'll be content...
This is my favorite of the franchise. Stoick’s death wrecked me and still does 😩 I just love all the parallels they draw between Toothless and Hiccup. After the first movie, they are both handicapped and have to rely on each other. In this one, we learn that not only are they the same age, Hiccup became the Chief and Toothless became the Alpha
This channel needs much more love and recognition 🙏 I couldn't praise enough their choice of movies and honest - raw reactions ❤ Loved every bit of it, knew what was coming yet bawled like a baby when Oak teared up 🥺
This movie always hits really hard for me. It has been 2 years since I lost my own father as well, and when he was alive we both LOVED these movies. My father reminded me of Stoic in so many ways, even down to a big red beard. So yes, I was crying once again along with you, Oak! I am so glad you all are enjoying the movies and I am excited to see the final reaction!
Ouch, seeing Oak breaking in tears is breaking my heart, I can't cry harder, my eyes are gonna pop-up from my face 😭😭 Loving this reaction and your honest way of connect with stories. Thank you all! And specially Oak, God bless your tender soul. Love, light and peace from Argentina!
this one is my favorite of the 3 for a reason. The entire funeral scene (that makes me bawl everytime), the ending when hiccup screams "our dragons!" is so powerful, the moments with stoik and his wife are absolutely gorgeous...
This goes out to The Oak from a father of 2 and being very close in age to you (while being nowhere near as burly if I might add). Never apologize for when these movies get at the emotions. I've found ever since having kids when there is plot and narrative focus on parent (especially father as a guy myself) and child dynamic anymore I'm a pretty easy mark. Get a lot of dad-sad dust in the eyes. But feeling that stronger connection is always a good thing--even, or especially in these animated movies. It goes to show how well they mix in that emotional truth. It's not an insignificant thing for viewers to see examples of masculinity being able to express those emotions as well. Hang in there!
Stoik... the proud Stoik... not screaming... not shouting... not saying a word... only for him to say "You are as beautiful as the day Iost you" after 20 years!!! It gets me so hard! I have been with my wife for 10 years now... and just imagining thinging she might be a goner for like... a week would kill me... I'm not one to cry easily... but this... it gets me on a personal level!!!
Anybody else notice how this channel has a far better like to view ratio than pretty much every other reaction channel?? Well earned! Literally the best reactions right here
Toothless looks like he was designed from a black axolotl mixed with dragon, big cat eyes and behaves like a puppy, he's so badass but adorable at the same time, designers and animators did an incredible job. This is my favourite trilogy of all time, so glad you guys are watching and love it too.
My man Oak made my tears drop faster, and an absolute best of the best reactions here! Thank you guys again for being so genuine and true to you each one of your own beliefs! Keep this amazing reactions coming! ♥
While Drago is a power-hungry conqueror who wants to become unstoppable and take over the world, it’s important to understand that that’s not his entire motivation. His desire to dominate dragons is motivated by revenge for dragons slaughtering his family, burning his village and tearing off his arm when he was a boy. As a result, he was left with nothing in his childhood and lived in fear, but then he vowed to rise above that fear and make all dragons live in fear of him, just as he once lived in fear of them. So while Drago certainly took it too far, his motivation for wanting to overcome and dominate dragons is at least an *_understandable_* one.
I love the parallels between toothless and hiccup growing up. The music, the voice acting, the animation, the plot, it all comes together to be amazing
Having lost my dad in my teen years, Stoics death still gets to me every time!! He was career Air Force and my hero so feeling that loss at such a young age really changes a person. I love this series so much!
This is my all-time favourite animated film, if not my favourite film ever. The animation itself, the voice acting, the storyline, the emotional impact-it's amazing. I cry every single time I watch this movie, no matter how hard I try, because of how heartbreaking it is before the finale. The utter shocked and reverent silence you guys fell into during that moment, I was right there with you, even having seen this film multiple times.
Wow, watching Oak tear up and cry just opened up my tears. I love watching you guys watch movies. You're the best part of my day. Big hug to all of you!
This is my absolute favorite movie of all time!!! The music , the animation, the everything is amazing. So happy that I get to watch you guys react to it too!!
40:08 Closure? Some kind of addressing of the situation? I get that. Hiccup just goes right back to hugging the creature that killed his dad. But I think the idea is that no matter how expressive Toothless is, he and all the other dragons are still just animals. And mind control is a special situation. Hiccup understands that it wasn't Toothless' fault, and he got his closure when they chased off the real culprit.
I personally really enjoyed the Netflix series that was set between the first and second films. It gave a lot of depth to the changes and developments that all the characters went through in those 5 years, but what's great about this film is that within the first 10 minutes it flawlessly gets the audience up to speed on how relationships have changed and how much Hiccup and toothless have bonded.
The scene where Hiccup is talking about his father and his fear that he would never be able to fill his shoes, just hits me every single time. He talks with such reverence for his father, it's incredibly moving.
This trilogy is definitely the pride of animation. Telling a story that has visuals, world building, music and characters that better than regular live action movies.
This is such a wonderful series! Those moments when Toothless protects Hiccup are so great, especially during the final showdown! But also the one in the snow, when Toothless is so frantic bc he thinks it didn't work this time 😭 I do kind of wish Astrid had been named chief 😂 bc she seems like she'd be really good at it and wants it, but at least they will work together when they get married!
I’m here sobbing in my car even though I’ve seen this movie like 10 times. Oak crying had me sobbing even more. I love you guys. I feel like I’m part of the group when I watch these things with y’all. Thank you for actually showing emotion and crying it out. I think the three of you and Diamond Dave are amazing men
I love the way they give Toothless so much personality. I was worried when seeing 2-3 that they would kind of just make him a "normal dragon". But the story is about a young man and his dragon, not a young man with a dragon, so giving him his own character and traits is nice. A crazy movie that was cranked from 5 to 10. I LOVE IT!
What's amazing about this movie is that it respects the intelligence of the children in making their script choices without fear of "hurting their feelings". Waiting for your reaction to the third movie.
Seeing The Oak cry almost made me cry! Something about how Hiccup gets Toothless out the trance in the third act, and how he gets so happy always, always makes me tear up.
"Just tell him (that Mom's alive) already!!!" Honestly, the Smith had the right reaction. Think about it, you're seeing the only woman, that the only man you both fear and respect (and would even follow to Hell) ever loved. Alive, after thinking she was dead for 20 years. That's not something you just say. That's something you have to actually see for yourself. Or as he eloquently puts it: "...You MIGHT want to take this one."
I think this is the first time I've seen Oak break down. I feel you man, we all do. I've seen this movie dozens of times and that moment always makes me cry. I remember watching it in theaters and I still had tears in my eyes on car ride home. It's oddly cathartic to see other people react the same. Amazing reaction boys. Absolutely amazing.💙
Not to mention, this film was marketed as a father's day film, so I brought my sons and hubby in the cinema. Can't tell you how hard I had to stiffle the sob and was absolutely ugly crying, albeit quitely in the cinema! One of the best animations and story told and made ever. ❤❤❤
The "one other reason" Gobber mentioned as to why he never got married was ad libbed by Craig Ferguson but implies he's gay, which was later confirmed by one of the directors.
I said you guys would break watching this trilogy... Stoicks death destroyed me in that moment. Hiccup wouldn't get his happy ever after with Both his parents again. What hits me more, is seeing The Gentle Giant, Oak, tear up the way he did. I normally make that face watching the Ride of Rohirrim or I Can't Carry For You.. Love this channel man. Can't wait for the other animated movies you guys watch in the future, and Big Up to The Oak. The legend 💪🏿
What I really love about these films is it's the only trilogy I've seen where all 3 are equally as amazing but completely in their own ways. So excited to watch you guys react to the 3rd one!
I loved it when Hiccups mom and dad were reunited and dancing and singing. It was so much fun Also in the show(it’s a prequel of the 2nd movie it’s after the first before the second) Its where Hiccup actually gets the idea and tests out his wing suit, his fire sword, and a bunch of other stuffs. It was really good. At the end it was revealed that there was an egg of the giant alpha dragon in this movie and that’s the egg that the bad guy of this movie raised
LOOOOOVE these movies and your reactions and i haven't yet seen the third, so being able to watch y'all's reaction to it is definitely a push to get me to finally finish the trilogy myself. Oak bawling is me every time i watch this movie (can't even get through a reaction without full on crying).
these movies are truly special to me. it’s honestly the best animated series i’ve ever seen. i’m loving seeing your reactions and discussions about them!
It's my favorite animated trilogy of all time, and no other animated movie has ever given me a gut punch such as this one with Stoic's death scene. I saw it in theater's in 2014, and when I think back to it, I can still feel the gut punch. Enjoying all your reactions.
"No sheep no glory"! "This guy needs to get eaten" loved your reactions to Quinn's line there haha 😄 & i agree Toothless is an adorable Dragon! 🐲 yay for the M'Lady! Your title is correct with a flood of unexpected emotions watching this movie, was cute how much it affected Quinn of what Toothless was forced to do by Drago & Oak for never hiding his emotions while watching these types of movies, was a nice watch with you guys ❤💙
I remember reading the little blurbs all over the theater the (seven) times I watched this film. All about how Dreamworks pioneered new tech in this movie, and it clearly shows. Movie 1 to 2 is a LEAP of quality
Unpopular opinion but this is my favorite of the trilogy. There is so much depth abd emotion for a carton movie. It makes me so emotional every time I watch it! Also Drago Bloodfist is the coolest villian name!!😂
I'm SOOO glad you're able to watch these movies without waiting from 2010-2014 to watch HTTYD 2, and then 2014-2019, the waiting was torture😫 Overall I'm excited to watch one of my favorite animated sequels from my childhood with you three, so LET'S GO!!!!
As much as i cried in this movie, in the final movie, i was just bawling my eyes out in the entire last act...you guys are not ready for the next one..BRING THE TISSUES
The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy was a long journey, I watched the first one in theater and became big fan right away. It took 9 years for this trilogy to complete and I believe many kids back then (and me) grew up to be adults with more responsibility & went through many twists and turns just like Hiccup did. Waiting for you guys to watch the third one, it was amazing!!!
This series is really a gem and brings out so many different emotions. Another really great animation that just has the same level of emotional integrity is "A Silent Voice"..
Damn it, I failed holding back tears with this again. So glad Oak didn't hold back. An excellent sequel for sure, I enjoy seeing animated characters grow up and progress. The next one will need more tissues so be ready. Yes, Toothless is adorable. If you want an animated movie with a gut punch, then try the Anime "Grave of the Fireflies", in Japanese dub. I've dared not watch it again because of the intense emotional drain it put on the body. It's so well made.
Just finished watching woooo!!! I am so glad you guys loved this film too! I loved the heavier tones, this movie definitely fits for an older audience feel. Hiccup going from I believe 15 to 20 or similar age, leaving his childlike view of his world to a more adult view. It fits how the first movie had a more upbeat warmth with a lot of it, where as this is more based in reality like feel with how you can't always reason with people. That there are truly bad people and those who just wish to hurt others. Hiccup was always the nonviolent type, but he thought he could bring peace. I cried during the death and funeral scene when I first saw it. I am so so so glad you left in the part with Oak breaking and your conversation about him crying afterward. Cause when I saw Oak tear up I broke too and cried with him. I lost my mother in 2016 and I still feel the pain and remember it all so vividly. It was somber and sad, but was so powerful in this movie. I can't wait for your reaction to HTTYD 3!!
"you're as beautiful as the day i lost you" and "How do you live up to someone that great? i guess you can only try" are two quotes that i have carried deep in my heart ever since i first watched this movie. absolute 10/10 from me, it held nothing back and delivered on all fronts
36:10 That realization that hes defending Hiccup and the shot of him on the spire blasting away against the Alpha is one of my favorite moments and shot of the entire trilogy. so amazing
The whole trilogy is incredible, you can see how much care the entire cast and animators and director put into them. Definitely my favorite animated series. I haven't seen the TV show but I'm sure it's also amazing.
it's a fantastic franchise. They really really creted something special with these films that is very hard to recreate. I'd say easily one of the best franchises ever created. I literally grew up with the first one, I was 9/10 when it came out and went to the cinema with my parents, I then rewatched it on DVD over and over again over the years every couple months because it's just such a fantastic movie. Everytime there was nothing on tv I'd throw in How to Train your Dragon because you just don't get sick of this movie and then later the second one as well (which tbh at first completely went over my head for some reason) after I realised they're actually making a franchise out of this. Imagine what an amazing experience it was for me then to watch the third one at the movies in 2019 10 years later, now as an adult and seeing this story come to an end. It was pretty much like I was saying goodbye to my childhood as well at the same time, you know what I mean? man ... let me tell you, me and my friend we both cried our eyes out. I've never gotten so emotional at the movies before😂 the little 6 year old girl sitting next to me celebrating her birthday at the movies actually tried to cheer me up and was like „aww don't cry" 🥹 such a sweet kid😂❤ meanhwile me at 19 years of age cried uncontrollably into my coca cola 😌👌🏻.. I really couldn't pull myself together and looked like a panda bear after. They recently announced that there's going to be a live action adaption and I honestly really just don't know If it's going to work .. they could easily mess this up and again I'm asking myself, why reboot something that is already perfect as it is?😅.. but your guys' reaction was absolutely wholesome. You are easily one of my favorite reactors out there. Your emotions are always so true and it's so much fun everytime. And I really love your discussion and insights afterwards as well.
Y'all weren't kidding on this one! This was fantastic on every level. Didn't expect that moment.... you know! What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

definitely cried on that part
Next one will be toothless focused 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great movie and great reaction
u can do the series too..................same cast and production..........just not film level animation but it's good
The 2 animated series covers the 5 years between 1st and 2nd films. You should do that if you can. The same voice actors and the series is pretty good. Riders of Berk and Race to the Edge(RTTE)
My favorite thing about these movies is that they do the thing that animation rarely seems to do, at least not as well. There's growth and aging the likes of which you rarely see animated. It's clear that hiccup is older in the movie and he's damn near a full grown adult in the third. It gives that feeling you got with the Potter films, growing up with the characters year to year.
It isn't just that he is older, remember, his mom said it had been 20 years and Hiccup was a baby, so that would put him 14 to 15 in the first movie and around 20 in this one.
@@christomlinson3074 so it is that he is older xD
same feeling with avatar the last airbender!
He's actually already an adult. He was 15 in movie 1 and 20 in movie 2.
You are so right!! And how great they did that. I mean it doesn't feel unnatural or cringe. Its very well done!
“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you”
My favorite line in any movie ever.
I sobbed the first time I watched it 😭
Mine is "A chief protects his own" hits you right at the soul. Amazing what DreamWorks can deliver with one phrase.
This movie has some INCREDIBLE lines. It’s so well written and those little lines tugs at your heart so well. I cry every time I watch this movie 😭
This is me rewatching this reaction and just now I've come to realize that Stoick loved his wife VERY MUCH and they were only able to be together for just hours. This breaks my heart
I always get emotional when Stoick is courting Velka. He never got to say goodbye those 20 years ago, believing her gone and basically having moved on. But now that he's reunited he holds that note in the song, leaving it open for her to decide if she wants to reciprocate. And when she continues to hesitate after his second attempt he starts to turn away, accepting her refusal and interpreting it as that time of them being together was over. And I believe he would have fully accepted that and moved on with his life, because this time he at least gets to say goodbye.
*Valka
I never noticed this
Not moved on, he thought she was killed by the dragons.
@@bhargavipba yeah I think they meant more "accepted that she was gone," not moved on like "stopped being in love with her" or "fell in love with someone else." At least I hope that's how they meant it 😊
Thank you, Oak, for showing your emotions and always so openly talking about it! It may not look like much, but some people can really use to know that it's okay to be vulnerable sometimes.
As my Mother said, real men cry.
Amen!!
oh man it's hard to see the oak breaking down :")) I haven't rewatched this in a long time and wow i completely forgot how powerful the scene after hiccup's dad died. It must've hit so close to home for a lot of people. Including me... Beautiful scene, indeed.
That scene always makes me tear up, my god…
Agree!!
I am a glutten for punishment because i rewatch these movies occasionally and i always sob at that scene 😭
Fun fact: In the dad’s death scene, the reason Hiccup told his dad no! while he was trying rushing in and to save Hiccup is because Hiccup has trained for moments when Toothless goes wild. Hiccup was planning to dodge Toothless. So Hiccup felt like it was truly his fault when Stoic died. 😢
I had no clue! Did that happen in one of the shows? Because I LOVE Httyd, but the shows’ animation didn’t do it for me so I never watched them. But I do know they impact the movies in some ways, so that might be why I didn’t know about this.
Yeah cause wasn't that in the Rider of Berk Series?
@CervusLavandula you get used to the animation. It's not half bad
@@CervusLavandula yeah, its in one of the shows, cant remember which one tho
You know I've seen thoses episodes in questions a fair few times but just now with your comment I put 2 and 2 together and holy hell it hurts even more
This is one of the best animated films I've probably ever seen. It's amazing in almost every way.
We must also give credit to John Powell, the music he composed for these movies is pure perfection 👏🏻👏🏻
He also was phenomenal in Kung Fu Panda trilogy...Wish he composed Kai theme too, but sadly they went with a lame "Imagine Dragons" cover..
Yes, every single time I hear Test Drive i get chills, especially that moment towards the end
He's genuinely incredible!!
23:16 It's really subtle but it's funny how Stormfly took a liking to him in the first place. Back when hiccup tried to give themselves up, Eret kept trying to throw the fire sword hilt away and Stormfly kept excitedly bringing it back. 10:18 He was playing fetch without even knowing it.
The look Eret gives Stormfly will always be hilarious to me 😂..
This is my definition of a perfect trilogy. They know right where to hit you and boy do they hit hard.
🤜🤛😁
I like that Toothless was the one to end Drago.
He felt horrible for being the one who killed Stoick and hurt Hiccup.
Imagine the satisfaction Toothless had when he was able to take Drago out.
Almost like his way to apologize and redem himself.
Well honestly, he didnt... Drago Drowned
@@AnCatalyst WELL if we're speaking HONESTLY.... The other Alpha was the one that actually made Toothless kill Stoick. So I guess Dragos' hands are clean.
My POINT is that Toothless was the one to stop the threat that instigated Stoick's death. And he can take pride in protecting his family and friends.
I was the Oak during the funeral scene, too. 😂Also to give context to Stoick's behavior from the first movie now that you've seen the second one, the only person Stoick had ever seen command dragons prior to Hiccup is Drago, who murdered all of the other chieftains when they refused to hand over power to him. Imagine seeing such horrible cruelty carried out in front of your eyes and then the next person you see with that unique and incredible power is your own son. Not only your son but your son who has spent his whole life seeking acceptance and is now gaining attention and authority among his peers. Are y'all familiar with the proverb, "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth"? Hiccup could have very easily become Drago as a result of circumstance and environment. I think a lot of Stoick's anger came from fearing that his son having this ability would lead him down a dark path and turn him into a conqueror who destroys only for the pleasure of being king of the ashes.
That, my friend, is a brilliant take.
Wow I never thought of that. That's a very interesting take and a very real possibility.
So real, it is so often overlooked how similar hiccup is to drago and even grimmel, just one different choice and he could have become the villain of his own story.
Two things come to mind:
This movie shows that Stoic and Hiccup are the same man, but in different ways. They are both just and honorable men. Hiccup had honorable albeit naive intentions of being the diplomat, believing he could win anyone over with reason. Stoic was also an honorable man, who preferred peace but understood that some people can't be won over, they must be defeated to protect "his own".
Most animated movies add in the animals for comic relief, even giving them human characteristics and sometimes those of other species than their own. What's unique about Toothless is that, while adding in plenty of comedic moments and personality traits, there are some dramatic and even tragic sides to him in this film especially.
What I love most about HTTYD is the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless (which is not a surprise). But what makes me love this is the fact that they didn't do that typical "owner and his cute, silly pet" relationship, you know? You notice little things between them in the scenes, like Toothless helping Hiccup climb somewhere. They even tease each other! It really feels like a best friends relationship!
I absolutely love you guys, my favorite reaction channel! You guys watch everything with so much emotion, attention and really get into the story. Love to see how your channel grows
couldn't said it better :)
We appreciate the kind words! Thank you and thanks for watching with us! 😁🤙
agreed
I just wanna hug Oak. Yall made Hiccups speech even more emotional with the removing of the music and lowering it. My God. I can't cry at work, stop it.
Well Drago was trying to take out Hiccup. To me that hits different when you think about it. Being killed by your best friend. Stoick decided to sacrifice himself for Hiccup. To me there's no greater sacrifice and I forever love Stoick for it.
This is one of my favorite trilogies ever.
I love my dad more than anyone, this movie really wrecked my emotions first time through 😢
I appreciate so much how you guys feel all the feelings that the creators intended, without being embarrassed about crying or talking about the hard things in life. Best react channel around ❤
🤜🤛🙂
That what I felt like ne and u made similar comment lol
Hiccup's eulogy for Stoick hit me so hard in theaters when I watched this. I had never in my life really contemplated how to put into words the way I feel about my Dad. Especially if I had to say goodbye while doing it. I was 22 years old at the time and just bawling like a baby because Hiccup was just saying everything I felt perfectly about my father. How can I ever live up to someone as great as my father?!
This trilogy is one of my all time favorites. Toothless is my all time favorite animated creature. The music (especially the main theme) gets me emotional every time I hear it. And what I love most is that it feels like the series matures with its audience. You see over 3 movies the maturing of all the characters and the visuals just blow me away every time I watch. I have to remind myself that it is a CG animated movie and not already live action with some of the shots they get.
If you wanna get cold chills, look up the How to Train Your Dragon main theme played on a pipe organ. When they hit the low notes, instant cold chills for me.
It’s rare that a sequel in a trilogy can hit absolutely everything it needs to hit without feeling like “it’s not as good as the first”or needing some kind of redemption in the third. Such a great trilogy! ♥️
53:28 the reason valka is not explored in the 1st movie is that in early stages she was actually present but then the directing team made the choice to cut her out so that they can focus on this rocky son and father relationship. And since there is literally no book paralel in the 2nd movie they had to chance to invent her so elements that could've been put in the 1st movie were not even created yet.
When I found this channel a few months ago, I wasn't expecting to just aaaaalways be on the same wavelength as Oak, but man, I am.
I love this movie so much, the emotional damage that it gave me will never be forgotten😂
Watching this having the same age as hiccup feels even better, like we grow up together🥰🇧🇷
Right? When I first saw it I refused to watch it again for a long time.
Same here...well I was about to turn 11 when I saw the first movie in theaters in 2010, then i had just turned 15 when the second movie came out...and in the third I was 20 I literally grew up with this franchise and all it's characters and I love it so much ❤🖤
@@CatalinaDiamondlord Literally- me too XD
This is honestly the best of the three IMO. The lore it establishes, the new characters, the emotion, and score is even better. Especially that opening song when Hiccup and Toothless are flying through the air.
Love this movie, I also love that they didn't do anything to Astrid in making her and Hicup fight or have anything other then a healthy supportive relationship.
These 3 movies are among the best animated films ever. They really nailed them. The look, the quality of animation, the characters, the stories. The death of Stoick and Hiccup realizing he has to step up hits hard. Tear jerker every single time I see it. Because Stoick really was that good of a person. The world feels lived in and real. The characters feel real, they age, they worry, they lose.
Hiccups speech in the funeral is such a brilliant piece of writing... I cried like a child watching it
In my opinion the best of the trilogy, Cant wait for the live action remake.
Tbh this and both of the Spidey trilogies are my favorite movie trilogies of all time
Live action? There's one in the works? I hope it retains the spirit that the books had. Animated films too.
I only like the scenes with the dragons,esp toothless. The humans don't interest me much. They r the supporting characters.
Let's be real, the live action will not hold up to the OG, I love this trilogy but it's gonna probably get butchered because of terrible remakes. as long as its better than the air bender live action movie, I'll be content...
If the past few years of horrible live action remakes of classic animated stories are anything to go by, don't hold your breath bud.
This is my favorite of the franchise. Stoick’s death wrecked me and still does 😩 I just love all the parallels they draw between Toothless and Hiccup. After the first movie, they are both handicapped and have to rely on each other. In this one, we learn that not only are they the same age, Hiccup became the Chief and Toothless became the Alpha
This channel needs much more love and recognition 🙏 I couldn't praise enough their choice of movies and honest - raw reactions ❤
Loved every bit of it, knew what was coming yet bawled like a baby when Oak teared up 🥺
This movie always hits really hard for me. It has been 2 years since I lost my own father as well, and when he was alive we both LOVED these movies. My father reminded me of Stoic in so many ways, even down to a big red beard. So yes, I was crying once again along with you, Oak! I am so glad you all are enjoying the movies and I am excited to see the final reaction!
❤
@@nwandoogo7269 ❤
Ouch, seeing Oak breaking in tears is breaking my heart, I can't cry harder, my eyes are gonna pop-up from my face 😭😭 Loving this reaction and your honest way of connect with stories. Thank you all! And specially Oak, God bless your tender soul. Love, light and peace from Argentina!
this one is my favorite of the 3 for a reason. The entire funeral scene (that makes me bawl everytime), the ending when hiccup screams "our dragons!" is so powerful, the moments with stoik and his wife are absolutely gorgeous...
This goes out to The Oak from a father of 2 and being very close in age to you (while being nowhere near as burly if I might add). Never apologize for when these movies get at the emotions. I've found ever since having kids when there is plot and narrative focus on parent (especially father as a guy myself) and child dynamic anymore I'm a pretty easy mark. Get a lot of dad-sad dust in the eyes. But feeling that stronger connection is always a good thing--even, or especially in these animated movies. It goes to show how well they mix in that emotional truth.
It's not an insignificant thing for viewers to see examples of masculinity being able to express those emotions as well. Hang in there!
38:20 you can see that even the big guy the oak was feeling it when hiccup was giving the speech about his dad
Stoik... the proud Stoik... not screaming... not shouting... not saying a word...
only for him to say "You are as beautiful as the day Iost you" after 20 years!!! It gets me so hard!
I have been with my wife for 10 years now... and just imagining thinging she might be a goner for like... a week would kill me...
I'm not one to cry easily... but this... it gets me on a personal level!!!
It was good to see you get emotional over that scene when they do the chieftain burial it is a powerful emotional scene 🙂👍 it speaks volumes
Anybody else notice how this channel has a far better like to view ratio than pretty much every other reaction channel?? Well earned! Literally the best reactions right here
Toothless looks like he was designed from a black axolotl mixed with dragon, big cat eyes and behaves like a puppy, he's so badass but adorable at the same time, designers and animators did an incredible job. This is my favourite trilogy of all time, so glad you guys are watching and love it too.
My man Oak made my tears drop faster, and an absolute best of the best reactions here! Thank you guys again for being so genuine and true to you each one of your own beliefs! Keep this amazing reactions coming! ♥
While Drago is a power-hungry conqueror who wants to become unstoppable and take over the world, it’s important to understand that that’s not his entire motivation. His desire to dominate dragons is motivated by revenge for dragons slaughtering his family, burning his village and tearing off his arm when he was a boy. As a result, he was left with nothing in his childhood and lived in fear, but then he vowed to rise above that fear and make all dragons live in fear of him, just as he once lived in fear of them.
So while Drago certainly took it too far, his motivation for wanting to overcome and dominate dragons is at least an *_understandable_* one.
I love the parallels between toothless and hiccup growing up. The music, the voice acting, the animation, the plot, it all comes together to be amazing
Having lost my dad in my teen years, Stoics death still gets to me every time!! He was career Air Force and my hero so feeling that loss at such a young age really changes a person. I love this series so much!
That scene with Hiccup talking about his dad makes me cry so hard. Every time
This is my all-time favourite animated film, if not my favourite film ever. The animation itself, the voice acting, the storyline, the emotional impact-it's amazing. I cry every single time I watch this movie, no matter how hard I try, because of how heartbreaking it is before the finale. The utter shocked and reverent silence you guys fell into during that moment, I was right there with you, even having seen this film multiple times.
Wow, watching Oak tear up and cry just opened up my tears. I love watching you guys watch movies. You're the best part of my day.
Big hug to all of you!
God it makes me happy to see these 3 dudes at the end of a workday watching a movie.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is my absolute favorite movie of all time!!! The music , the animation, the everything is amazing. So happy that I get to watch you guys react to it too!!
Kitt Harrison's "audition outtakes" with Toothless is priceless.
40:08 Closure? Some kind of addressing of the situation? I get that. Hiccup just goes right back to hugging the creature that killed his dad. But I think the idea is that no matter how expressive Toothless is, he and all the other dragons are still just animals. And mind control is a special situation. Hiccup understands that it wasn't Toothless' fault, and he got his closure when they chased off the real culprit.
I personally really enjoyed the Netflix series that was set between the first and second films. It gave a lot of depth to the changes and developments that all the characters went through in those 5 years, but what's great about this film is that within the first 10 minutes it flawlessly gets the audience up to speed on how relationships have changed and how much Hiccup and toothless have bonded.
The scene where Hiccup is talking about his father and his fear that he would never be able to fill his shoes, just hits me every single time. He talks with such reverence for his father, it's incredibly moving.
This trilogy is definitely the pride of animation. Telling a story that has visuals, world building, music and characters that better than regular live action movies.
Love httyd but Kung Fu panda still has my heart in terms of trilogy 🙈
@@mia9833 Both of them are the pride of animation, honestly. I love the second one a lot (Shen)
"This, and one other reason" it's so cute how you guys don't get that joke. Adorable 😍
This is such a wonderful series!
Those moments when Toothless protects Hiccup are so great, especially during the final showdown! But also the one in the snow, when Toothless is so frantic bc he thinks it didn't work this time 😭
I do kind of wish Astrid had been named chief 😂 bc she seems like she'd be really good at it and wants it, but at least they will work together when they get married!
I’m here sobbing in my car even though I’ve seen this movie like 10 times. Oak crying had me sobbing even more. I love you guys. I feel like I’m part of the group when I watch these things with y’all. Thank you for actually showing emotion and crying it out. I think the three of you and Diamond Dave are amazing men
I love the way they give Toothless so much personality. I was worried when seeing 2-3 that they would kind of just make him a "normal dragon". But the story is about a young man and his dragon, not a young man with a dragon, so giving him his own character and traits is nice. A crazy movie that was cranked from 5 to 10. I LOVE IT!
What's amazing about this movie is that it respects the intelligence of the children in making their script choices without fear of "hurting their feelings". Waiting for your reaction to the third movie.
Seeing The Oak cry almost made me cry!
Something about how Hiccup gets Toothless out the trance in the third act, and how he gets so happy always, always makes me tear up.
"Just tell him (that Mom's alive) already!!!"
Honestly, the Smith had the right reaction.
Think about it, you're seeing the only woman, that the only man you both fear and respect (and would even follow to Hell) ever loved. Alive, after thinking she was dead for 20 years.
That's not something you just say. That's something you have to actually see for yourself. Or as he eloquently puts it: "...You MIGHT want to take this one."
"This guy just needs to get eaten" 36:20 caught me off guard so much 😭😭😭
So glad you guys are watching this trilogy. It’s definitely one of the best! And they just announced a live-action version coming in 2025!
I think this is the first time I've seen Oak break down. I feel you man, we all do. I've seen this movie dozens of times and that moment always makes me cry. I remember watching it in theaters and I still had tears in my eyes on car ride home. It's oddly cathartic to see other people react the same.
Amazing reaction boys. Absolutely amazing.💙
Not to mention, this film was marketed as a father's day film, so I brought my sons and hubby in the cinema. Can't tell you how hard I had to stiffle the sob and was absolutely ugly crying, albeit quitely in the cinema! One of the best animations and story told and made ever. ❤❤❤
The "one other reason" Gobber mentioned as to why he never got married was ad libbed by Craig Ferguson but implies he's gay, which was later confirmed by one of the directors.
I said you guys would break watching this trilogy...
Stoicks death destroyed me in that moment.
Hiccup wouldn't get his happy ever after with Both his parents again.
What hits me more, is seeing The Gentle Giant, Oak, tear up the way he did.
I normally make that face watching the Ride of Rohirrim or I Can't Carry For You..
Love this channel man.
Can't wait for the other animated movies you guys watch in the future, and Big Up to The Oak. The legend 💪🏿
When a baby just comes out of the womb, what is the very first sign to know that he/she is alive?
Crying.
What I really love about these films is it's the only trilogy I've seen where all 3 are equally as amazing but completely in their own ways. So excited to watch you guys react to the 3rd one!
I loved it when Hiccups mom and dad were reunited and dancing and singing. It was so much fun
Also in the show(it’s a prequel of the 2nd movie it’s after the first before the second) Its where Hiccup actually gets the idea and tests out his wing suit, his fire sword, and a bunch of other stuffs. It was really good.
At the end it was revealed that there was an egg of the giant alpha dragon in this movie and that’s the egg that the bad guy of this movie raised
LOOOOOVE these movies and your reactions and i haven't yet seen the third, so being able to watch y'all's reaction to it is definitely a push to get me to finally finish the trilogy myself. Oak bawling is me every time i watch this movie (can't even get through a reaction without full on crying).
these movies are truly special to me. it’s honestly the best animated series i’ve ever seen. i’m loving seeing your reactions and discussions about them!
This entire series is so good. As individual movies and as an entire story when combined.
It's my favorite animated trilogy of all time, and no other animated movie has ever given me a gut punch such as this one with Stoic's death scene. I saw it in theater's in 2014, and when I think back to it, I can still feel the gut punch. Enjoying all your reactions.
You guys are 1,000% my favorite reactors. So genuine!
"No sheep no glory"! "This guy needs to get eaten" loved your reactions to Quinn's line there haha 😄 & i agree Toothless is an adorable Dragon! 🐲 yay for the M'Lady! Your title is correct with a flood of unexpected emotions watching this movie, was cute how much it affected Quinn of what Toothless was forced to do by Drago & Oak for never hiding his emotions while watching these types of movies, was a nice watch with you guys ❤💙
I remember reading the little blurbs all over the theater the (seven) times I watched this film. All about how Dreamworks pioneered new tech in this movie, and it clearly shows. Movie 1 to 2 is a LEAP of quality
I woke up in agony and throwing up today and the day has been crappy so far, this just took my day from a -1 to a +9
Wish you a speedy recovery
@@BaddMedicine thanks guys 💚
Unpopular opinion but this is my favorite of the trilogy. There is so much depth abd emotion for a carton movie. It makes me so emotional every time I watch it!
Also Drago Bloodfist is the coolest villian name!!😂
Bloody hell someone give The Oak a big hug please I’m a wreck watching him listen to Hiccup’s speech 😢
How did these 3 grown men absolutely capture me I'm so invested in all reactions and I don't know how to free myself
I'm SOOO glad you're able to watch these movies without waiting from 2010-2014 to watch HTTYD 2, and then 2014-2019, the waiting was torture😫 Overall I'm excited to watch one of my favorite animated sequels from my childhood with you three, so LET'S GO!!!!
As much as i cried in this movie, in the final movie, i was just bawling my eyes out in the entire last act...you guys are not ready for the next one..BRING THE TISSUES
To hit us all in the feels this movie came out on fathers day too😢
The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy was a long journey, I watched the first one in theater and became big fan right away.
It took 9 years for this trilogy to complete and I believe many kids back then (and me) grew up to be adults with more responsibility & went through many twists and turns just like Hiccup did.
Waiting for you guys to watch the third one, it was amazing!!!
Gerard Butler and Cate Blanchett are my perfect viking parents
This series is really a gem and brings out so many different emotions. Another really great animation that just has the same level of emotional integrity is "A Silent Voice"..
Damn it, I failed holding back tears with this again. So glad Oak didn't hold back.
An excellent sequel for sure, I enjoy seeing animated characters grow up and progress. The next one will need more tissues so be ready.
Yes, Toothless is adorable.
If you want an animated movie with a gut punch, then try the Anime "Grave of the Fireflies", in Japanese dub.
I've dared not watch it again because of the intense emotional drain it put on the body.
It's so well made.
16:04 "that's where he got the scar" didn't notice that before
This movie makes me bawl every single time. One of the best animated series ever.
Just finished watching woooo!!! I am so glad you guys loved this film too! I loved the heavier tones, this movie definitely fits for an older audience feel. Hiccup going from I believe 15 to 20 or similar age, leaving his childlike view of his world to a more adult view. It fits how the first movie had a more upbeat warmth with a lot of it, where as this is more based in reality like feel with how you can't always reason with people. That there are truly bad people and those who just wish to hurt others. Hiccup was always the nonviolent type, but he thought he could bring peace. I cried during the death and funeral scene when I first saw it. I am so so so glad you left in the part with Oak breaking and your conversation about him crying afterward. Cause when I saw Oak tear up I broke too and cried with him. I lost my mother in 2016 and I still feel the pain and remember it all so vividly. It was somber and sad, but was so powerful in this movie. I can't wait for your reaction to HTTYD 3!!
Even though I've seen the movie before, I still cried again. That's when you know it's good, when it really makes you feel stuff.
"you're as beautiful as the day i lost you" and "How do you live up to someone that great? i guess you can only try" are two quotes that i have carried deep in my heart ever since i first watched this movie.
absolute 10/10 from me, it held nothing back and delivered on all fronts
Loving these end discussions. They add so much. Thank you all.
36:10 That realization that hes defending Hiccup and the shot of him on the spire blasting away against the Alpha is one of my favorite moments and shot of the entire trilogy. so amazing
damn, seeing Oak cry is really impactful. never seen him do that
I didnt know what to watch this morning, what a great timing. Always love your reactions!
The whole trilogy is incredible, you can see how much care the entire cast and animators and director put into them. Definitely my favorite animated series. I haven't seen the TV show but I'm sure it's also amazing.
the tv show is so good!!!
I cried so much when the dad died and when toothless challenged alpha just to protect Hiccup
This is my favorite one out of the trio , so exited for your reaction!!❤️
Let's goooooo 🤘😁
it's a fantastic franchise. They really really creted something special with these films that is very hard to recreate. I'd say easily one of the best franchises ever created.
I literally grew up with the first one, I was 9/10 when it came out and went to the cinema with my parents, I then rewatched it on DVD over and over again over the years every couple months because it's just such a fantastic movie. Everytime there was nothing on tv I'd throw in How to Train your Dragon because you just don't get sick of this movie and then later the second one as well (which tbh at first completely went over my head for some reason) after I realised they're actually making a franchise out of this.
Imagine what an amazing experience it was for me then to watch the third one at the movies in 2019 10 years later, now as an adult and seeing this story come to an end. It was pretty much like I was saying goodbye to my childhood as well at the same time, you know what I mean?
man ... let me tell you, me and my friend we both cried our eyes out. I've never gotten so emotional at the movies before😂 the little 6 year old girl sitting next to me celebrating her birthday at the movies actually tried to cheer me up and was like „aww don't cry" 🥹 such a sweet kid😂❤ meanhwile me at 19 years of age cried uncontrollably into my coca cola 😌👌🏻.. I really couldn't pull myself together and looked like a panda bear after.
They recently announced that there's going to be a live action adaption and I honestly really just don't know If it's going to work .. they could easily mess this up and again I'm asking myself, why reboot something that is already perfect as it is?😅.. but your guys' reaction was absolutely wholesome. You are easily one of my favorite reactors out there. Your emotions are always so true and it's so much fun everytime. And I really love your discussion and insights afterwards as well.
