I love how the villain is a one-to-one version of Hiccup had he decided to kill Toothless. While not physically imposing, his tactical and methodical mind make him the greatest dragonslayer in the world. Just like that very same mind makes Hiccup the greatest dragonrider in the world.
The How To Train Your Dragon Series is what I would call a ""Perfect Trilogy." Each film exceeds the previous one and gives an incredible emotional payoff.
Hiccup & Astrid are relationship goals. So adorable! Grimmel is the perfect antithesis of Hiccup which makes the him the best villain so far! And the ending (chef's kiss) never fails to make you cry... Truly a perfect movie!
14:45 “First time on his own” Actually this isn’t the first time, in a short Christmas Film called Gift Of The Night Fury, which took place after the first film, all the Dragons were leaving Berk and everyone didn’t know why, but later on it was Mating season for the Dragons and time for their eggs to hatch and Hiccup knowing that Toothless can’t fly on his own build an automatic Tail fin for him to go with all the other Dragons but Toothless Returned In the end cause at the start of the short Movie, When Hiccup and Toothless were flying, Hiccup Lost his Helmet and Toothless used that automatic tail just to get it back for Hiccup and in this movie Astrid said “You made one of these before and he didn’t like it” or something along those lines, because in Gift Of The Night Fury Toothless whacked his tail on the ground and threw of the Automatic Fin off his Tail and wanted Hiccup to put back on the Saddle, Red Tail Fin and everything else as if saying “If we’re going to fly, we fly like we always do” Sorry for the long Comment but just wanted to explain that and I Recommend taking a look at Gift Of The Night Fury
There isn’t going to be a fourth movie, it’s the controversial confirmed upcoming live action version of HTTYD. Grimmel is a representation of What If hiccup did indeed kill Toothless right then and there in the first movie becoming the Night Fury Killer and I think they did it really well. Drugging his own dragons into obedience, being very tactical.
I wish that Hollywood would stop doing these stupid live action movies of animated shows. I've yet to see one that actually added to the world but instead they just seem clunky, and forced in more ways than one.
Fun fact: Night furies and Lights Furies are different species, when toothless and the light fury breeds they made a new species called “Night Light” which means toothless is the last known Night Fury and they’re now extinct.
I have to say Grimmel is a great villain as he is what Hiccup would've become if Hiccup killed Toothless when they first met. This was also confirmed by the director Deblois to be the case.
This is literally my 2nd fav movie ever! The music of John Powell, the story, the hidden meanings, the quality of the sand and scales and the emotional scenes with a fantastic ending really makes this movie a solid.
The score that pops up throughout the series, the one that plays at the end when they reunite at the end with their kids... I can't help but cry happy/sad tears any time I listen to it. It's so powerful and beautiful. Even just the snippets I get to hear through the edits from react channels gets to me. And I'm always so happy to get to feel like I'm sharing this experience with others.
If you watched the how to train your dragon tv show you will see how hiccup is a amazing leader. The tv show takes place between how to train your dragon 1 and 2. 3 takes place only a few months after 2. There is a major time difference between 1 and 2.
The moral of the story throughout the movie is learning to let go and is not being your "true" and "authentic self". That's not meant to be rude, it's just the truth. After watching this with you reacting and catching the glimpses of the movie makes me know for sure now that this is without a doubt my most favorite movie of all time. The music, the jump in animation, the score, and so much more proves that this movie will stand the test of time. The night it came to theaters I went right away to watch it and let me tell you I freaking balled my eyes out at the end. The movie is so perfect I have no words to describe it. If I could meet Dean DeBlois and John Powell I would just give them a hug and thank them for the best childhood I could have ever had.
I love the fact that Grimmel shows us what Hiccup would've become if he killed Toothless when they first met. He wouldn't be this big and imposing viking like his father, but a tactical and calculating assasin. I imagine it'd be called "How to drug your dragon" if they went in that direction lol
the thing about the Deathgrippers (Grimmel's dragons) being 'aware', as you say, of the fact that they are killing Dragons, is that they almost certainly know, they just don't care. In fact, the reason Grimmel specifically chose Deathgrippers as his beasts of burden in his goal of exterminating Night Furies, is that in the world of Dragons, Deathgrippers are basically the equivalent of apex predators, Dragons evolved specifically to hunt and kill other Dragons as their primary source of food. If most Dragons (the majority of whom eat primarily fish) can be comparable the big game of Africa, Deathgrippers are the lions/hyenas. So while Grimmel may be using their venom to keep this pack obedient to him, they are still basically acting as they would in the wild, so even if the collars were removed, the odds that they would be any friendlier to the riders of their natural food source are not particularly high also if you rewatch some of the Dragon crowd shots in the Hidden World, you will be able to see at least 3 other Light Furies (though congratulations on spotting Drago's Bewilderbeast in one of those very shots, that makes you one of the very few reactors I'm aware of to actually notice this), just to clarify that the Light Fury is basically a closely related species to the Night Fury, not the potential misconception that female Night Furies are white, so while Toothless might be the last of his kind (although I'm of the opinion that there are other Night Furies deeper in the Hidden World), his mate is definitely not the only Light Fury
There's a half hour epilogue called "How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming" if you're interested. Also a whole TV series that takes place between the first and second movie.
There's not going to be a 4th installment. There is however a Christmas special "How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming", which is an epilogue to the whole series. I really recommend you watch it. There's also another Christmas special, thanks to which one certain line in this movie becomes clearer (you'll know which one). The title's "Gift of the Night Fury".
The short version of what I’m trying to say: TL;DR: The first tv show in this franchise (Riders/Defenders Of Berk to Race To The Edge) as well as all the short films are really good and I would really like it if you would react to them or at least watch it on your own time if you’re not gonna react to it on camera. I would really like to see more creators reacting to this show. The long version: This franchise has 3 movies and 3 different tv series’s as well as 2 Christmas themed short films, two non-Christmas short films and one short film that basically looks like a tv show episode. And while the two newer tv series’s are trash I would (depending on how much you enjoyed the movie/s) „highly“ recommend you to check all of the 5 seasons of the original tv series (Dragons: Riders Of Berk Season 1, Dragons: Defenders Of Berk Season 2 and Dragons: Race To The Edge Season 3 to 5 (RTTE has it’s own season count of season 1 to 6 since it’s much bigger than riders and defenders.)) as well as the short films preferably (for us) on UA-cam and/or Patreön but if you don’t want to at least alone off cam because even though there isn’t that many people who watched the tv show after the movie/s it’s really good! Though my guess to why so many people never watched it is probably because they think it’s for children and for children only even though it’s for about the same audience as the movies. In my personal opinion I would rank Dragons: Race To The Edge at about the same height as the first movie if not even higher and then Defenders, then Riders, then the first Christmas short film, than the sequel and then the other short films and then the threequel. Though opinions may differ. Also RTTE really picks up after season 1 of RTTE. And Dragons: Rescue Riders is a kids show and Dragons: The Nine Realms is so bad that you can’t even tell who the intended audience is because unless you’re a braindead 4 year old you’ll probably stop watching after the first episode because of how poorly written, designed and animated everything is. I think almost everyone ranks Rescue Riders and 9 Realms at the bottom of their tier list. Though I personally would really REALLY like seeing more people reacting to at least D:RTTE if nothing else since there is so many reactions to the movies but so little reactions to the tv series. Of course each individual episode isn’t as high quality as the movies because obviously they needed to pump out more episodes in a shorter amount of time compared to the movies where they had more time to produce an over an hour long movie. But the story, plot, narrative, characters and music are all still really good in the tv series. Also Fishlegs, Sir Snotsalot and The Nuts are all relevant main characters in the series. You also learn how the All the vikings learn to integrate dragons into their society and how for example Hiccup gets is flight suit or his flame sword. The only thing that tanked more heavily is the quality of the visuals but it gets much better in RTTE and it’s never so bad you can’t watch it. It’s still really good. It’s just much much worse compared to the movies. The tv show has over 100 episodes that are all over 20 minutes long. Also the show has really good villains and they get better every time they introduce a new one. And the villains from the show are much much better than the ones in the movies. In summary, The movies have beautiful animations and scenery while the tv shows have much better character writing and world building. I probably will or already have reused this comment under other newer HTTYD reactions in hopes of getting someone to start a reaction series for the Dragons tv series wich is why I put so much effort into writing it. Also I don’t know how to make this comment shorter while still being able to make my point. I would enjoy you (or anyone) reacting to the tv series but if ya don’t then that’s your choice. I can’t blame you. I can only give it my best shot to convince you or anyone who’s reading this to give it a shot but if ya don’t then ya don’t it ain‘t the biggest deal in the whole world.
31:46 - The villain seems like he was meant to be a "What if Hiccup had killed Toothless instead of freeing him." Raised in an environment where killing dragons was the norm? Check. Not physically imposing like Drago or the Dragon Queen? Just like Hiccup compared to his dad or Eret? Check. Uses inventions and intelligence over raw strength? Check. Uses dragons even though you wouldn't expect him to? (In his case as a dragon hunter, and Hiccup's case, coming from a village of dragon killers?) Check. Believes what he's doing is the best for people unlike the Dragon Queen and Drago who only wanted dominion over others? Check. (8:28) It all comes back to this: 17:58 Just as freeing Toothless after downing him set Hiccup on a path that lead him where he is now, so too did Grimmel irrevocably change when he chose to _kill_ the Night Fury.
If you want to see some more hindi movies you can watch these -> >Udaan - coming of age film about a kid who wants to be a writer but his strict dad is against it >Swades - A nasa scientist returns to india , gets affected by the lives of people in the village and decides to change it >Andhadhun - A thriller around a blind guy who accidentally witnessed a murder >Masaan - Story of two people revolving around caste and police brutality. Beautiful but dark >Gangs of wasseypur 1 &2 - Saga of crime and revenge across generations. This might be difficult to understand as the regional and cultural differences are there. But this is one of best hindi films of 21st century Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy - These films are amazing and masterpiece in storytelling Haider - adaptation of Hamlet Maqbool - adaptation of macbeth Omkara - adaptation of Othello
I cried SOO HARD at the end, i cried for 1 hour and 27 minutes, do you know how hard it is to cry that long ❤❤ i watched it with my mom and sister the first time, in a small town that we live, me and my sister were the first ones to watch it on DVD, my dad knows how much we love httyd, so as a early birthday surprise to both me and my sister he went and bought the DVD for us, i still have it ❤❤ I am a HUGE httyd fan, and trust me I've watched this movie probably 200 times, i cry every single time, even now. Thanks for watching this movie with me ❤❤❤❤❤❤
27:25 tem gente que acredita ate hoje que o Grimmel sobreviveu a essa queda. Eles literalmente cairam a milhares de metros de altura. Cair dessa altura na água é o mesmo que colidir com um chão de concreto duro. Grimmel provavelmente quebrou todos os ossos e morreu na hora, mas caso ele tenha sobrevido, ele não conseguiria nadar e se afogaria
together from afar (the song at the end) makes me ball everytime i watch them im a life long fan of httyd and have been a diehard fan of all the shows specials and movies this movie crushed me and i actually did get mortally crushed for a while after this
If you want more then you should definitely watch the series, you will find out what happened between the first and the second movie, there are lots of new dragons, the villains are really well done (plus when Hiccup said "we've dealth with his kind before" he mean one of the villains from Race to the edge), you will see some of the characters from a much better angle than in the movie, you will met some new amazing characters, and a lot of the things you saw in the second movie will be explained how it actually started, there will also be a lot of cute moments between Hiccup and Astrid, the series is divided into two parts, one takes place after the first movie, and the other 1/2 years before the second movie, my favorite part is definitely the second, the first part consists of two seasons of 20 episodes each, and the second part consists of 6 seasons of 13 episodes each, but honestly it's really worth watching, I say this as a fan who got to know this franchise 10 years ago and I loved it immediately
Yeah Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge are an enjoyable ride to watch if you love this franchise! Some great character arcs, world building and just everything you’d want out of a Httyd series. However those are the only ones I’d recommend. Rescue Riders is confirmed not canon and apparently the dragons talk, so not really worth the watch, and The Nine Realms is “canon” but it breaks it many of times and ruins Hiccups legacy so would never recommend that. But the other 3 yes! Like OP said, the first 3 series’ do take place between 1 and 2 and do help you understand a few things and also make you like the side characters much more than you may already do! Also makes Stoicks death sadder because we see his character growth in these series’ massively😢
@@Hornet1054 true Tbh Race to the edge is my favourite part from this franchise because of the new characters they introdused to us, the villains, and because of how the characters are made, especially Hiccup (who isn't that naive and doesn't try to talk to villains like with Drago, but this may be the reason why he tried to), Snotlout (who is just broken because of his father) and the twins (because they aren't the side but funny characters, but they also can be smart when it needed) But i haven't seen the other series and i'm not planning to because i know it's not worth it
When you consider that their "wings" all match their dragon scale armors, it's safe to assume that Hiccup already had these made. Especially since he had HIS in the last movie.
I'm so glad you experienced this trilogy! One of my favorites, ever. And if you want a little cherry on top, there is a short short film called How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming that takes place not long after the last scene of this movie. It's a Christmas themed short about Toothless coming to visit Hiccup. And like I said, it's a nice little cherry on top and it fits in with the Christmas season perfectly. I recommend watching (and possibly reacting to?😉) it. Thanks for the reaction! As always, you're awesome!
You should react to "How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming", it's a 20 minute Christmas special that takes place after the 3rd movie, its a pretty fun watch. You'll get to see more of Hiccups kids.
You brought up a good point with the title, one that I never thought about. How do you train a dragon? You simply don't. They were never meant to be trained, they're much like birds in the way that they should fly free
There is alot of Hiccup and Astrid friendanemy interactions which took place a little before the events of the first movie that just sadly never made the final cut, which is also what was meant to be how Hiccup grew such a love interest with Astrid in the first place instead of it feeling like he just kinda happen to feel this way around her all of a sudden.
Hiccup and Toothless' story is over with these movies. However, there are several short films set between the first and third. Plus there is a Hulu/Peacock series called Dragons: The Nine Realms, which is set in the current day.
the tv shows were fun and awsome do, if you want you can check then out they are canon for the story and happend after the first movie and before the second movie but you dont have do if you dont have time. There is also a christam short called Homecoming it follows after the dragons had left Berk and Hiccup got married
So glad you watched this entire trilogy, it's probably my favourite bunch of animated movies ❤ Honestly it's still kinda hard to say which one I like the most. The original is an incredible classic but it was a little more grounded and had way more cliche aspects, I love how the sequel expanded the world, strenghtened the family bonds and had a cool villan, and the third one devastated me with how the dragons had to leave so that everyone was safe plus it was heartwarming seeing toothles with a partner but I just can't stop thinking about things that I didn't enjoy: Snotlout having feelings for Hiccup's mum and how the antagonist felt very bland and had basically no motivation. He was supposed to be a reflection of what could Hiccup end up like if he killed a nightfury but he just had no depth which left me kinda disappointed
The how to train your dragon movies are one of the best triologies of all time right up there with the origional star wars, lotr, and the dark knight trilogy. And now the writter and director has begun filming the live action movie, with gerard buttler back as stoic, i cant wait!!
BTW there is a Christmas special that takes place after this. I have a digital copy of it. It’s a sweet epilogue as well as a prologue to the ending of the movie. Look it up.
I followed this franchise since the beginning. I was 8 when the 1st movie came out, and I loved it. I was 12 when the second came, and Stoick's death shook me to my core. It was my 17th birthday when the 3rd one came, and I cried hard at that ending.
How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming is a Christmas special if you want to watch it. Takes place right before the end credits of How to train your dragon 3.
This is certainly my favourite of the greatest movie Trilogy ever made and the most underrated of the Trilogy don't get why most think this is the weakest? The entire third act is one of the most moving pieces of cinema I've ever seen😭. Can't believe this masterpiece is nearly 5 years old now, the 2025 live action remake won't even compare to the original animated Trilogy!
It's the weakest because the ending message for the franchise is horrible and goes against the previous 2 movies message that education is the key. The whole franchise is ultimately about how to deal with discrimination and the ending about letting go of Toothless made sense but they basically said for discrimination the best way to deal with it is to run and hide.
Don't be sorry for beeing broken at the end. I left the theater in tears, not because of the bitter-sweet ending, but because like Astrid I grew with this trilogy and I was realizing that I would have to let it go. I am very glad that they have the guts to make such an ending and I wouldn't wan an other movie after that. This is really a perfect trilogy.
14:00 So Toothless is the only Night Fury left, but the female is not the only Light Fury left. They are close enough to mate and reproduce, but they aren’t the exact same species or breed. I’m not sure what the proper term is.
They're the same species, but just subspecies. So Polar Bears and Brown Bears are both bears, just different types. Just think of it as they're both Furies just two different subspecies. Like there are 5 different subspecies of tigers that currently exist today.
Httyd is a perfect trilogy, I’m glad you watched it. For your next movies I recommend: The Incredibles Monsters Inc Hotel Transylvania Big Hero 6 Ocean’s 13 The Mask The Grinch Shanghai Noon Ace Ventura 2
The villain is literally what Hiccup would become if he did kill Toothless when he caught him in the first movie. He also used technology but instead of helping the dragons, the villain used it to kill/control them. I love that perspective
My daughter loves HTTYD. She's got a lightfury costume that she's used for Halloween for 3 years now, lots of stuffies of the various dragons, loved the Netflix series, made me buy all the books for her, etc. And she loves it that much becuz I showed it to her in the 1st place becuz I love it too. and this, of course, means that I loved your reactions to all 3 of the films :D Another animated masterpiece is "Kubo and the Two Strings" -- it's stop motion animation, and a standalone film, and simply amazingly wonderful.
I'm glad you finally did this one, I said it was gunna emotional and something you wouldn't expect. I loved the reaction and can't wait to see what is next!
Since its Christmas/Holiday season, you should watch and react to the 2 short films they release during the holidays. One is called Gift of the Night Fury (which took place between the first and the second movies) the other is a short film called How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming (which approximately took place just before the final scene in this 3rd movie when they went and visited Toothless and his family)
Something I think you’ll maybe like is Treasure Planet from Walt Disney Animation if you haven’t already watched it! One of the greatest movies they’ve ever made and is so underrated and that’s not over exaggerating! It’s so beautiful and to me relatable.. Defo worth the watch if you haven’t seen it!
if you want to have more of the franchise, there´s the 5 shortfilms (the Book of Dragons, Legend of the Boneknapper, Gift of the Night Fury, Dawn of the Dragon Racers, and Homecoming) and 8 seasons of a T.V show made to fill the 5 year gap between the first and second movie called Dreamworks: Dragons (under the subtitles Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge)
The ending of this movie made me cry so so much 😭. But in a good way. The type of tears that only come at the end of great movies. Like Schindler's List or Stranger Than Fiction and others 🥺
after watching the first 2 movies and especially the long tv series, the 3rd movie becomes even more sad,like they have been through so much adventures
This is an impossible act to follow. There are only a couple movie series I can think of that can match the quality of this one and I think you've seen them all. Thank you for helping me relive the wonder of watching it for the first time again.
Theres a short film where toothless 3 kids come and visit the village and sees hicccup and his family. and the both the fury's come looking for them and thers a reunion.
😎👍 I'll say it again: While Dreamworks Animation's franchises ("How To Train Your Dragon," "Kung Fu Panda," "Shrek" & "Madagascar") get all the publicity, many of the studio's one-offs are among their best. You've already seen "Megamind" and I'm sure you'd also enjoy "Over The Hedge" (2006), "Flushed Away" (2006), "Monsters Vs Aliens" (2009), "Rise Of The Guardians," (2012), "Turbo" (2013) and "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" (2014).
25:18 greatest quote of the reaction, damn that was unexpected xD Also there won't be a 4th movie, these are just rumors although Dean DeBlois (director ot the Franchise) mentioned there could be more coming after the release of the 3rd movie. What is confirmed though is a live action remake of the first movie set to be released in early 2025 currently
It does seem as though they are working on a fourth one, much the same way that there's a 4th Kung Fu Panda coming out soon. Still, this is such a beautiful, heartbreaking finale to the three-movie arc.
I love how the villain is a one-to-one version of Hiccup had he decided to kill Toothless. While not physically imposing, his tactical and methodical mind make him the greatest dragonslayer in the world. Just like that very same mind makes Hiccup the greatest dragonrider in the world.
The How To Train Your Dragon Series is what I would call a ""Perfect Trilogy." Each film exceeds the previous one and gives an incredible emotional payoff.
@Doctor2285 Nicely written 🖖I would like to add that Disney will never get that far.
Few trilogies ever achieve that title. "Back to the Future" and "Lord of the Rings" are the only others I know.
Toy Story is a good trilogy. 4 was fine but not needed
Exactly !
Animation wise, yes. The first film is the best of the trilogy though
I love that the babies are called Nightlights
Hiccup & Astrid are relationship goals. So adorable!
Grimmel is the perfect antithesis of Hiccup which makes the him the best villain so far!
And the ending (chef's kiss) never fails to make you cry...
Truly a perfect movie!

Deeply upsetting to see this end but glad to see Astrid and Hiccup tie the knot and reunite with Toothless in the end.

Small detail:
The Light Fury has a heart-shaped pattern on its forehead.❤
I do like that they're continuously getting older. It gives you a sense of time.
Hiccup aging with the audience is a very good choice indeed.
I love the fact that Grimmel shows us what Hiccup would've become if he killed Toothless when they first met. He wouldn't be this big and imposing viking like his father, but a tactical and calculating assasin.
I imagine it'd be called "How to drug your dragon" if they went in that direction lol
the thing about the Deathgrippers (Grimmel's dragons) being 'aware', as you say, of the fact that they are killing Dragons, is that they almost certainly know, they just don't care. In fact, the reason Grimmel specifically chose Deathgrippers as his beasts of burden in his goal of exterminating Night Furies, is that in the world of Dragons, Deathgrippers are basically the equivalent of apex predators, Dragons evolved specifically to hunt and kill other Dragons as their primary source of food. If most Dragons (the majority of whom eat primarily fish) can be comparable the big game of Africa, Deathgrippers are the lions/hyenas. So while Grimmel may be using their venom to keep this pack obedient to him, they are still basically acting as they would in the wild, so even if the collars were removed, the odds that they would be any friendlier to the riders of their natural food source are not particularly high
also if you rewatch some of the Dragon crowd shots in the Hidden World, you will be able to see at least 3 other Light Furies (though congratulations on spotting Drago's Bewilderbeast in one of those very shots, that makes you one of the very few reactors I'm aware of to actually notice this), just to clarify that the Light Fury is basically a closely related species to the Night Fury, not the potential misconception that female Night Furies are white, so while Toothless might be the last of his kind (although I'm of the opinion that there are other Night Furies deeper in the Hidden World), his mate is definitely not the only Light Fury

TL;DR: The first tv show in this franchise (Riders/Defenders Of Berk to Race To The Edge) as well as all the short films are really good and I would really like it if you would react to them or at least watch it on your own time if you’re not gonna react to it on camera. I would really like to see more creators reacting to this show.
The long version:
This franchise has 3 movies and 3 different tv series’s as well as 2 Christmas themed short films, two non-Christmas short films and one short film that basically looks like a tv show episode. And while the two newer tv series’s are trash I would (depending on how much you enjoyed the movie/s) „highly“ recommend you to check all of the 5 seasons of the original tv series (Dragons: Riders Of Berk Season 1, Dragons: Defenders Of Berk Season 2 and Dragons: Race To The Edge Season 3 to 5 (RTTE has it’s own season count of season 1 to 6 since it’s much bigger than riders and defenders.)) as well as the short films preferably (for us) on UA-cam and/or Patreön but if you don’t want to at least alone off cam because even though there isn’t that many people who watched the tv show after the movie/s it’s really good! Though my guess to why so many people never watched it is probably because they think it’s for children and for children only even though it’s for about the same audience as the movies.
In my personal opinion I would rank Dragons: Race To The Edge at about the same height as the first movie if not even higher and then Defenders, then Riders, then the first Christmas short film, than the sequel and then the other short films and then the threequel. Though opinions may differ.
Also RTTE really picks up after season 1 of RTTE.
And Dragons: Rescue Riders is a kids show and Dragons: The Nine Realms is so bad that you can’t even tell who the intended audience is because unless you’re a braindead 4 year old you’ll probably stop watching after the first episode because of how poorly written, designed and animated everything is. I think almost everyone ranks Rescue Riders and 9 Realms at the bottom of their tier list.
Though I personally would really REALLY like seeing more people reacting to at least D:RTTE if nothing else since there is so many reactions to the movies but so little reactions to the tv series. Of course each individual episode isn’t as high quality as the movies because obviously they needed to pump out more episodes in a shorter amount of time compared to the movies where they had more time to produce an over an hour long movie. But the story, plot, narrative, characters and music are all still really good in the tv series. Also Fishlegs, Sir Snotsalot and The Nuts are all relevant main characters in the series. You also learn how the All the vikings learn to integrate dragons into their society and how for example Hiccup gets is flight suit or his flame sword. The only thing that tanked more heavily is the quality of the visuals but it gets much better in RTTE and it’s never so bad you can’t watch it. It’s still really good. It’s just much much worse compared to the movies. The tv show has over 100 episodes that are all over 20 minutes long. Also the show has really good villains and they get better every time they introduce a new one. And the villains from the show are much much better than the ones in the movies. In summary, The movies have beautiful animations and scenery while the tv shows have much better character writing and world building.
I probably will or already have reused this comment under other newer HTTYD reactions in hopes of getting someone to start a reaction series for the Dragons tv series wich is why I put so much effort into writing it. Also I don’t know how to make this comment shorter while still being able to make my point.
I would enjoy you (or anyone) reacting to the tv series but if ya don’t then that’s your choice. I can’t blame you. I can only give it my best shot to convince you or anyone who’s reading this to give it a shot but if ya don’t then ya don’t it ain‘t the biggest deal in the whole world.
31:46 - The villain seems like he was meant to be a "What if Hiccup had killed Toothless instead of freeing him."
Raised in an environment where killing dragons was the norm? Check.
Not physically imposing like Drago or the Dragon Queen? Just like Hiccup compared to his dad or Eret? Check.
Uses inventions and intelligence over raw strength? Check.
Uses dragons even though you wouldn't expect him to? (In his case as a dragon hunter, and Hiccup's case, coming from a village of dragon killers?) Check.
Believes what he's doing is the best for people unlike the Dragon Queen and Drago who only wanted dominion over others? Check. (8:28)
It all comes back to this: 17:58
Just as freeing Toothless after downing him set Hiccup on a path that lead him where he is now, so too did Grimmel irrevocably change when he chose to _kill_ the Night Fury.
There's a 22 minute short you can watch after the third movie ... "How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming". 😉
Toothless and Hiccup are actually around the same age according to Hiccup's mom in the second movie when they meet.
If you want to see some more hindi movies you can watch these ->
>Udaan - coming of age film about a kid who wants to be a writer but his strict dad is against it
>Swades - A nasa scientist returns to india , gets affected by the lives of people in the village and decides to change it
>Andhadhun - A thriller around a blind guy who accidentally witnessed a murder
>Masaan - Story of two people revolving around caste and police brutality. Beautiful but dark
>Gangs of wasseypur 1 &2 - Saga of crime and revenge across generations. This might be difficult to understand as the regional and cultural differences are there. But this is one of best hindi films of 21st century
Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy - These films are amazing and masterpiece in storytelling
Haider - adaptation of Hamlet
Maqbool - adaptation of macbeth
Omkara - adaptation of Othello
I cried SOO HARD at the end, i cried for 1 hour and 27 minutes, do you know how hard it is to cry that long ❤❤ i watched it with my mom and sister the first time, in a small town that we live, me and my sister were the first ones to watch it on DVD, my dad knows how much we love httyd, so as a early birthday surprise to both me and my sister he went and bought the DVD for us, i still have it ❤❤
I am a HUGE httyd fan, and trust me I've watched this movie probably 200 times, i cry every single time, even now.
Thanks for watching this movie with me ❤❤❤❤❤❤
27:25 tem gente que acredita ate hoje que o Grimmel sobreviveu a essa queda. Eles literalmente cairam a milhares de metros de altura. Cair dessa altura na água é o mesmo que colidir com um chão de concreto duro. Grimmel provavelmente quebrou todos os ossos e morreu na hora, mas caso ele tenha sobrevido, ele não conseguiria nadar e se afogaria
Their is a short follow up to this film it’s called how to train your dragon Homecoming.
together from afar (the song at the end)
makes me ball everytime i watch them
im a life long fan of httyd and have been a diehard fan of all the shows specials and movies
this movie crushed me and i actually did get mortally crushed for a while after this
If you want more then you should definitely watch the series, you will find out what happened between the first and the second movie, there are lots of new dragons, the villains are really well done (plus when Hiccup said "we've dealth with his kind before" he mean one of the villains from Race to the edge), you will see some of the characters from a much better angle than in the movie, you will met some new amazing characters, and a lot of the things you saw in the second movie will be explained how it actually started, there will also be a lot of cute moments between Hiccup and Astrid, the series is divided into two parts, one takes place after the first movie, and the other 1/2 years before the second movie, my favorite part is definitely the second, the first part consists of two seasons of 20 episodes each, and the second part consists of 6 seasons of 13 episodes each, but honestly it's really worth watching, I say this as a fan who got to know this franchise 10 years ago and I loved it immediately
Yeah Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge are an enjoyable ride to watch if you love this franchise! Some great character arcs, world building and just everything you’d want out of a Httyd series. However those are the only ones I’d recommend. Rescue Riders is confirmed not canon and apparently the dragons talk, so not really worth the watch, and The Nine Realms is “canon” but it breaks it many of times and ruins Hiccups legacy so would never recommend that. But the other 3 yes! Like OP said, the first 3 series’ do take place between 1 and 2 and do help you understand a few things and also make you like the side characters much more than you may already do! Also makes Stoicks death sadder because we see his character growth in these series’ massively😢
@@Hornet1054 true
Tbh Race to the edge is my favourite part from this franchise because of the new characters they introdused to us, the villains, and because of how the characters are made, especially Hiccup (who isn't that naive and doesn't try to talk to villains like with Drago, but this may be the reason why he tried to), Snotlout (who is just broken because of his father) and the twins (because they aren't the side but funny characters, but they also can be smart when it needed)
But i haven't seen the other series and i'm not planning to because i know it's not worth it
When you consider that their "wings" all match their dragon scale armors, it's safe to assume that Hiccup already had these made. Especially since he had HIS in the last movie.
The final chapter in a beloved franchise.
There is a side movie. it has parts between dragons leaving and Hiccup visiting Toothless
Ahhh and we reached the conclusion, it was such a beautiful thing to see at the end where toothless and Hiccup both reunited 👏🏽🥹
I'm so glad you experienced this trilogy! One of my favorites, ever. And if you want a little cherry on top, there is a short short film called How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming that takes place not long after the last scene of this movie. It's a Christmas themed short about Toothless coming to visit Hiccup. And like I said, it's a nice little cherry on top and it fits in with the Christmas season perfectly. I recommend watching (and possibly reacting to?😉) it. Thanks for the reaction! As always, you're awesome!
If you want more, there's the two cartoon series that take place between the first and second movies
And a series that takes place in the present day.
There is a tv show that takes place between the first and second movies
You should react to "How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming", it's a 20 minute Christmas special that takes place after the 3rd movie, its a pretty fun watch. You'll get to see more of Hiccups kids.
I'd have given you so many hugs, I know you weren't sad at the end. Even wholesome movies get to me as well. Much love to you
It's actually the last movie... The new HTTYD is just an action remake of HTTYD 1
You brought up a good point with the title, one that I never thought about. How do you train a dragon? You simply don't. They were never meant to be trained, they're much like birds in the way that they should fly free
This is one of my favorite movie trilogies of all time. I can rewatch these movies forever and never get tired of them.
The dance move Toothless had always kills me, the MEEEHHHH
There is alot of Hiccup and Astrid friendanemy interactions which took place a little before the events of the first movie that just sadly never made the final cut, which is also what was meant to be how Hiccup grew such a love interest with Astrid in the first place instead of it feeling like he just kinda happen to feel this way around her all of a sudden.
Hiccup and Toothless' story is over with these movies. However, there are several short films set between the first and third. Plus there is a Hulu/Peacock series called Dragons: The Nine Realms, which is set in the current day.
the tv shows were fun and awsome do, if you want you can check then out they are canon for the story and happend after the first movie and before the second movie but you dont have do if you dont have time.
There is also a christam short called Homecoming it follows after the dragons had left Berk and Hiccup got married
So glad you watched this entire trilogy, it's probably my favourite bunch of animated movies ❤
Honestly it's still kinda hard to say which one I like the most. The original is an incredible classic but it was a little more grounded and had way more cliche aspects, I love how the sequel expanded the world, strenghtened the family bonds and had a cool villan, and the third one devastated me with how the dragons had to leave so that everyone was safe plus it was heartwarming seeing toothles with a partner but I just can't stop thinking about things that I didn't enjoy: Snotlout having feelings for Hiccup's mum and how the antagonist felt very bland and had basically no motivation. He was supposed to be a reflection of what could Hiccup end up like if he killed a nightfury but he just had no depth which left me kinda disappointed
I love how much you liked this one, it is one of my favorite movie series
The how to train your dragon movies are one of the best triologies of all time right up there with the origional star wars, lotr, and the dark knight trilogy. And now the writter and director has begun filming the live action movie, with gerard buttler back as stoic, i cant wait!!
BTW there is a Christmas special that takes place after this. I have a digital copy of it. It’s a sweet epilogue as well as a prologue to the ending of the movie. Look it up.
I followed this franchise since the beginning. I was 8 when the 1st movie came out, and I loved it. I was 12 when the second came, and Stoick's death shook me to my core. It was my 17th birthday when the 3rd one came, and I cried hard at that ending.
How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming is a Christmas special if you want to watch it. Takes place right before the end credits of How to train your dragon 3.
One of the best movie trilogies ever! I'm so glad I got to experience your first reaction. :)
I got upset that this was the last movie, I started crying. Hope you have a happy day, V!!😢😢❤️❤️
This is certainly my favourite of the greatest movie Trilogy ever made and the most underrated of the Trilogy don't get why most think this is the weakest? The entire third act is one of the most moving pieces of cinema I've ever seen😭. Can't believe this masterpiece is nearly 5 years old now, the 2025 live action remake won't even compare to the original animated Trilogy!
It's the weakest because the ending message for the franchise is horrible and goes against the previous 2 movies message that education is the key. The whole franchise is ultimately about how to deal with discrimination and the ending about letting go of Toothless made sense but they basically said for discrimination the best way to deal with it is to run and hide.
Don't be sorry for beeing broken at the end.
I left the theater in tears, not because of the bitter-sweet ending, but because like Astrid I grew with this trilogy and I was realizing that I would have to let it go.
I am very glad that they have the guts to make such an ending and I wouldn't wan an other movie after that.
This is really a perfect trilogy.
I’m still not ready for bearded Hiccup 😭
Same😭😭
nah literally these were like the best movies ever and because it was my childhood it makes me so happy
There is not going to be a 4th movie, they are just going to re-create the first movie in live action. Like Disney did with their movies.
14:00 So Toothless is the only Night Fury left, but the female is not the only Light Fury left. They are close enough to mate and reproduce, but they aren’t the exact same species or breed. I’m not sure what the proper term is.
They're the same species, but just subspecies. So Polar Bears and Brown Bears are both bears, just different types. Just think of it as they're both Furies just two different subspecies. Like there are 5 different subspecies of tigers that currently exist today.
Httyd is a perfect trilogy, I’m glad you watched it.
For your next movies I recommend:
The Incredibles
Monsters Inc
Hotel Transylvania
Big Hero 6
Ocean’s 13
The Mask
The Grinch
Shanghai Noon
Ace Ventura 2
The villain is literally what Hiccup would become if he did kill Toothless when he caught him in the first movie. He also used technology but instead of helping the dragons, the villain used it to kill/control them. I love that perspective
There is a 20 minute movie called how to train your dragon homecoming and it is right before they went to visit toothless
The movie that made me cry in the theater. Then I knew what was going to happen when I bought the Blu Ray and I cried again.
What's awesome about Grimmel as a villain is that he's a glimpse into what Hiccup would have become had he killed toothless rather than freeing him
My daughter loves HTTYD. She's got a lightfury costume that she's used for Halloween for 3 years now, lots of stuffies of the various dragons, loved the Netflix series, made me buy all the books for her, etc. And she loves it that much becuz I showed it to her in the 1st place becuz I love it too. and this, of course, means that I loved your reactions to all 3 of the films :D
Another animated masterpiece is "Kubo and the Two Strings" -- it's stop motion animation, and a standalone film, and simply amazingly wonderful.
29:59 was literally me like
ARE YOU KIDDING ME I CANT TAKE ANYMORE 😂😢
All 3 movies have some of the best scores in cinematography
"Aaaww, they're bonding by killing everyone." 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😊🤣
I'm glad you finally did this one, I said it was gunna emotional and something you wouldn't expect. I loved the reaction and can't wait to see what is next!
You must be the first reaction-channel that noticed the bewilderbeast from last movie- so thanks for that😭❤️ (been waiting forever)
Since its Christmas/Holiday season, you should watch and react to the 2 short films they release during the holidays. One is called Gift of the Night Fury (which took place between the first and the second movies) the other is a short film called How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming (which approximately took place just before the final scene in this 3rd movie when they went and visited Toothless and his family)
21:26 I never realized that Drago's dragon was there !
This movie made a lot of people cry
The ending wanted me to curl up in a bawl and cry for eternity
Something I think you’ll maybe like is Treasure Planet from Walt Disney Animation if you haven’t already watched it! One of the greatest movies they’ve ever made and is so underrated and that’s not over exaggerating! It’s so beautiful and to me relatable.. Defo worth the watch if you haven’t seen it!
Can everyone agree that V looks like Astrid.❤❤
One of the greatest movies series of all time right there.
if you want to have more of the franchise, there´s the 5 shortfilms (the Book of Dragons, Legend of the Boneknapper, Gift of the Night Fury, Dawn of the Dragon Racers, and Homecoming) and 8 seasons of a T.V show made to fill the 5 year gap between the first and second movie called Dreamworks: Dragons (under the subtitles Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge)
Honestly one of the greatest movie series ever, period. Wonderful reactions.
The ending of this movie made me cry so so much 😭. But in a good way. The type of tears that only come at the end of great movies. Like Schindler's List or Stranger Than Fiction and others 🥺
after watching the first 2 movies and especially the long tv series, the 3rd movie becomes even more sad,like they have been through so much adventures
13:26 Probably thinking, “Are you ok? Do I need to get a doctor?”
13:29 to 13:32 Did Toothless get advice from a Bird of Paradise?
You should watch How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming
Yeah
You should watch HTTYD Homecoming too. Its a pre meeting Toothless again. Kind of a Christmas special.
This is an impossible act to follow. There are only a couple movie series I can think of that can match the quality of this one and I think you've seen them all. Thank you for helping me relive the wonder of watching it for the first time again.
The How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy is one of the Most Underrated Trilogies of All Time
33:36 My dear, you can always spend some time watching DragonHeart (1996)...the voice of Sean Connery as Draco, is always unspeakably satisfying!
How to Train your Dragon 3 is just as good as the first two and I wish you a very Merry Christmas V.
❤🎄⛄⛄🎀⛄⛄🎄❤
I saw this movie in theaters it was beautiful ❤🥹
There’s that nine realms show that takes place 1000 years later
Theres a short film where toothless 3 kids come and visit the village and sees hicccup and his family. and the both the fury's come looking for them and thers a reunion.
😎👍 I'll say it again: While Dreamworks Animation's franchises ("How To Train Your Dragon," "Kung Fu Panda," "Shrek" & "Madagascar") get all the publicity, many of the studio's one-offs are among their best. You've already seen "Megamind" and I'm sure you'd also enjoy "Over The Hedge" (2006), "Flushed Away" (2006), "Monsters Vs Aliens" (2009), "Rise Of The Guardians," (2012), "Turbo" (2013) and "Mr. Peabody & Sherman" (2014).
Walt and Jesse are so funny in this.
25:18 greatest quote of the reaction, damn that was unexpected xD
Also there won't be a 4th movie, these are just rumors although Dean DeBlois (director ot the Franchise) mentioned there could be more coming after the release of the 3rd movie. What is confirmed though is a live action remake of the first movie set to be released in early 2025 currently
Even if a fourth movie isn’t necessary I would rather have it than a live action remake
@@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003 True. Maybe a Prequel focused on stoic or something like that would be interesting
It does seem as though they are working on a fourth one, much the same way that there's a 4th Kung Fu Panda coming out soon. Still, this is such a beautiful, heartbreaking finale to the three-movie arc.
If you want more, you should watch the series - Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, Race to the Edge!
and then you remeber that both hiccup and toothless's eyes are green but astrids and the light fury are blue,🥲
The songs at the end of the movies are great.
