Ahhh god this song makes my heart absolutely soar every time, you HAVE to see the movie (record your reaction too I hope!) the way all the musical themes for each character and situation are used is a masterpiece and the story and animation are truly gorgeous. This is and always will be my favorite movie of all time ❤️

[@DavidTheHooman]

Have to get some things done behind the scenes but I would love to watch it with you guys :)

[@cursed_ink]

@@DavidTheHooman I will eagerly await the day I get to see your reaction to it then! And hopefully if you react to the first movie, you’ll react to the second and third? (If you do react to them, don’t watch any trailers! They have big spoilers!) John Powell orchestrates all of the soundtracks, so in terms of sound, none of the movies disappoint.

[@evangalinsky2499]

@@DavidTheHooman YES please do a reaction to the movie, even if its mostly you commenting on the music (all of which is just as ridiculously good as this track)

[@user-jk3yy8fy6d]

@@DavidTheHooman that would be awesome!

[@saiyasha848]

I reccomend doing this _after_ watching the Movie, but you as a musician might get a huge kick out of watching 'Sideways' Video about the fact that the Overture tells a whole story in itslef and shows of _all_ the leitmotifs

[@the_UF365]

How To Train Your Dragon is set in the Scandinavian Islands during the viking era. Most of the adult characters have Scottish accents, so yes, they are somewhere in the general area you described.

[@DavidTheHooman]

thank you for clarifying :)

[@ladythalia227]

The Scottish accent was a good choice. Genetically speaking, 1/3 Scottish men still have Y chromosomal dna that can be traced directly back to coastal western Norway, or “Vikings” if you will

[@Munchkin.Of.Pern09]

I love that he was able to correctly identify that Hiccup and Toothless were falling during that part of the track and predict the rest of the scene without even having listened to the rest of the piece yet!

[@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo]

That‘s what makes John Powels music so incredibly amazing.

[@nickalouscromer9082]

One of my favorite movie franchises of all time. I really like the song "For the Dancing and the Dreaming" from How To Train Your Dragon 2. It's a proposal ballad sung by Hiccup's parents, who have separated for 2 decades finally back together, but for how long. You'll have to watch the movies to find out.

[@nerdpocalypse5004]

I love Peter Hollen's cover of this song

[@astellis11]

GOD THATS SONG MAKES ME CRY. EVERYTIME

[@rolleyarts8919]

Oh my god your gonna make me cry

[@DgShadowChocolate]

BRUH SPOILERS!!

[@TheCommenterDragon]

The music from the test drive scene is one of my all time favorite soundtracks from the first HTTYD film! well that and the Forbidden Friendship soundtrack!

[@hcxpl1]

Httyd is my absolute favourite soundtrack of all time and forbidden friendship is certainly a something else entirely. He really should react to more of these like The Vikings Have Their Tea or See You Tomorrow, maybe even good old This is Berk

[@abegailardales3281]

Yes me too my top 3 favorite soundtracks in httyd 1. Test Drive 2. Forbidden Frienship 3. New tail

[@gingechicken7394]

I also love how the soundtrack goes with the scene, it matches so well

[@ZeraKonno]

HTTYD music is genuinely unmatched with so many film like music! Yes yes I know there’s plenty of others that are absolutely gorgeous but considering this was one reason why the films were so good, because the music really impacted the scenes. Just like any good film, if the is garbage, let the music carry it. OR you can’t make a great scene without great music.

[@emperorbelos6835]

Kais theme from king fu panda 3 is up there

[@ZeraKonno]

@@emperorbelos6835 all three of those films, music is definitely gorgeous especially with its setting. The second film being my favorite

[@batzdoartz]

The only other that can compare is Spider-Man into the spider verse

[@emperorbelos6835]

@@rybr3ad I’ve just heard “I’m so sorry” and idk I don’t really see that much of a resemblance

[@Tsukaiyo]

The best part of this song is that it combines Hiccup's theme and Toothless's theme perfectly, so well that you'd never realize they're two separate pieces

[@kappatrappa]

That ending swell I believe is the first time it's featured in the movie, and it becomes a triumphant motif in the movie. It's essentially the series' theme, and it is present in every movie. I recommend listening to Where No One Goes from this movie as well!

[@officialartfulsoul]

HTTYD IS MY CHILDHOOD- and also can u do 'where no one goes' which is also in the how to train your dragon soundtrack

[@serpentmaster1323]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!yes!yes!

[@lissa_ssi]

I get chills EVERY TIME and i have listened to this more times than i can count

[@matthatter5099]

Ikr? I get emotional and stuff just thinking about the melody

[@couragew6260]

What should be noted is the particular scene this score is in. Trust me, this music really fits the situation as things go from 0 to 100 all within the span of 2 and a half minutes. I HIGHLY suggest you watch the movie to fully appreciate the scene because, as the name suggests, this is a “test drive.” Their first official attempt at flying

[@austinwolfe8814]

4:26 every time I hear this on my Spotify liked songs Playlist I get goosebumps every single time and I haven't seen the movie in ages aside from like movie reactions, but this song is just that damn good

[@PhoenixFlight8D]

John Powell is my favorite western composer. His scores are absolutly stunning

[@Joy-1.0]

Now we must start a cult so he watches the HTTYD trilogy-

[@aether6959]

YES LET'S START A CULT

[@Kaptionist]

I'd like to add that John Powell added electric guitar for every accented note which added EVEN MORE umph!

[@fashioni.star.]

John Powell made some of the most gorgeous OSTs I’ve ever listened to in my life. One of my personal favorites from the first httyd film is “Dragon Training.” If you’re listening to more OSTs I have to recommend “Eda’s Requiem” from the Owl House by Brad Breeck (he posts much of his work on his KZbin, if you do listen to his Eda’s Requiem music suite you want to start listening at 13:34), or if you’re still in the John Powell mood, “Po Finds The Truth” by Powell and Hans Zimmer is gorgeous and has so many great moments

[@Speedshake]

Every time I hear this music, I feel like i'm seeing the whole world from the sky by riding a plane, or a dragon, or whatever it is. This music is total absolute incredible.

[@atkins_cerise5310]

This movie's soundtrack is absolutely legendary. I get the biggest grin on my face every time I hear it :D

[@DavidTheHooman]

:)

[@beautifulgudrun8802]

The second you said you hadn't seen the movie, I knew you'd be blown away by this. This movie has genuinely one of the best original soundtracks in ANY animated film. Every single track in the OST of ANY of the 3 films is an absolute banger. You can just put the playlist on shuffle and not feel a single dull moment.

[@therussianprincess7036]

I think my fav out of that movie is “This is Berk”. It introduces so many leitmotifs and has such beautiful dynamics. A perfect score to start off a movie!

[@notificationgangmember9339]

On the topic of How To Train Your Dragon, I'd recommend the song "Where No One Goes" from the second movie. It's absolutely amazing, and makes me feel magical every time I listen to it.

[@sym9992]

you don't even have to react to the rest of the soundtrack but i highly recommend you watch how to train your dragon... it's been my favorite movie for probably almost a decade now. it has little dialogue and relies heavily on its music to convey emotion and plot, so so beautiful!!!

[@dylansmith8215]

There is this other guy that gets into how the music tells the story and how it fits into what is going on, and you NEED to watch that, it gives the piece a whole new level of complexity and geniusness

[@AsterixmGame]

i grew up with movies like hercules and the little mermaid and so many other classic animations but How to Train Your Dragon is my favorite by a land slide and this score and how they reprise it for each film is how they do it. I get chills and I can literally watch the first scene with it in my head playing as it goes on. I can literally feel the soundtrack and I do not have any other way to explain it. It is a musical masterpiece in my opinion and John Powell deserves every bit of praise he gets for this piece.

[@Joy-1.0]

YES YES YES HTTYD YES

[@dragonmaster3030]

I'd recommend giving a listen to the track lit from "a silent voice", I find it to be a very unique and impactful track from the film, actually the films entire soundtrack is quite unique in that reguard. Also it's a great film if you curious

[@simoneandersson5978]

i can't listen to test drive without getting all soppy and teary eyed in the best kind of ways. always so moving 🥰

[@Moosetcg]

My father showed me this song just the other day, this artist makes a lot of cover songs and I'm not sure if you have ever heard of them but I suggest you listen to Follow The Light by: Cory Wong and Dirty Loops and their thriller cover. These songs with the bass drums and trumpets slaps.

[@mehggie]

I would definitely recommend checking out Forbidden Friendship from this soundtrack next. It is a truly ethereal song!

[@FAFO4wisdom]

This is one of my all time favorite movie score pieces. So much going on with the two themes starting off seperate and unifying at the apex of the piece. Its an astonishing work of orchestral magic. Powel revealed his inner beast with this score segment, when you combine the following two scores, you get the feast of an epic cinematic opera.

[@karenwhite3048]

It’s perfectly expresses how I feel when I have an open road, sun roof open, driving 60ish, with great tunes playing.

[@MortinTheGreatest]

If you want some good songs to listen to I would recommend ship in a bottle (idk who wrote it) and Greedy (by Or30)

[@MortinTheGreatest]

@@uncontrollablycaffienated2782 thank you 😊

[@anivijudi]

I swear hearing the bit right after the fall when they're finally working perfectly together brings tears to my eyes everytime

This theme is literally my childhood i can't explain it but yeah

[@theponyofglory8545]

Speaking of Go The Distance from Disney's Hercules David, i highly recommend you listen to the Lucas Grabeel version of that song, i'm telling you the vocals of that version is just emotion central!

[@FirstKhaoProtector]

Yes! His is my favorite version.

[@bethacaciakay]

Wonderful reaction to one of the most iconic scores of all time! Now you have to watch the movie, which is the crown jewel of Dreamworks Animation!

[@JustCallMe3d]

YO WHAT?! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE ENTIRE TRILOGY!! (maybe even my favorite song from a DreamWorks movie) I even know how to play Test Drive on the piano I literally stopped everything i was doing when i saw the notification 😂

[@jerryliu1968]

As mentioned by others...really can't do this without watching the scene because it's timed so perfectly with the flight of Toothless and Hiccup. The highs and lows are matched to the emotional highs and lows and really bring out the drama....it's breathtaking all taken together.

[@IrishPixie2342]

YAAASSSS How To Train Your Dragon is one of my all time favorite movies. That opening shot of the camera soaring over the ocean? Enchants and imerses me every time. And this whole score is so memorable and perfectly crafted. SO glad you checked this out, and I hope it becomes a gateway for you to check out more from the franchise. :D

[@alexvalentinova7015]

You should definetly react to more httyd the score is mind blowing your next reaction should definetly be romantic fight. 💞

[@shaunaXX]

Ok I have 150 videos in my watch later but I saw how to train your dragon and I INSTANTLY clicked that was an AMAZING MOVIE with an AMAZING Score. 10/10 would recommend watching the movie

[@astellis11]

When people say they haven't seen how to train your dragon I genuinely can't believe them sometimes. The music, the story, the comfort it gave me as a kid. I get so excited when I hear anything from any of the soundtracks

[@elizabethfrazee8812]

I totally recomend "where no one goes" from how to train your dragon 2 part of the score from test drive finds its way into almost every song in HTTYD!

[@the_UF365]

As the first comment, I've gotta say, this is the piece de resistance of the how to train your dragon movie scores.

[@megan.mckenna]

Makes me cry every time I hear it. I listen to film scores as I drive so I’ll just start crying and people look at me like I’m insane

[@enderniffler628]

There are so many amazing songs from how to trian your dragon (Test drive being my all time favorite) but another one that anyways took my breath away was Forbidden friendship, amazing song that can tell a story with or without visuals 👏

[@Smokescale]

If you haven't seen this movies by now, I'm pretty sure you'd really REALLY like them... but then, I'm very biased because it's my favorite film series of all time. And not just because OOO DRAGON... the relationship between the main character, Hiccup, and his father, Stoick, mirrors the kind of relation my dad and I have, and so the first film especially really REALLY resonates with me.

[@Neutral_Tired]

tbh, to really understand this song you need to listen to the music throughout the whole film and watch the scene this piece is from. It's a blend of the two main characters' themes, both of which have been peppered through different pieces throughout the whole film but never together like this.

[@HelloNotMe9999]

How have you not seen this trilogy? It’s arguably one of the greatest things in cinema history…

[@cherylsue1042]

Please watch How to train your dragon. This should give more understanding of John Powell's amazing score. Forbidden friendship,Romantic flight. Brilliant

[@m1raclw08]

YESS! I’ve been waiting for this!! How to Train Your dragon is my entire childhood, and the soundtrack is not only nostalgic but amazing. At one point, I was so obsessed with the movie, that I could tell you what was happening on screen if you paused any of the songs at any point.

[@realixx9375]

I can still do that

[@susiearnold]

The Dancing and the Dreaming from How to train your dragon 2 Is really sweet, fun, and simple. I think it would be cool if you gave it a shot.

[@Leolion20225]

How to train your Dragon is literally my childhood thank you so much for doing this I’m not feeling great and that music that score made me feel one hell of a lot better

[@offthedeepend1375]

This song is still, to this day, one of the few songs that no matter how many times I listen to it, I get chills. Masterfully done.

[@GalaxyyGoddess]

I love how just listening to this song you can instantly know it’s from the HTTYD franchise. The music in each movie for each scene is perfect as it’s gorgeous and perfectly dramatic and the right moments. These movies and songs were apart of my childhood and are engraved in my memory and heart and I’ll always love that. Maybe react to the music alone as well as with the scenes they go to! It always makes it better! ♥️♥️

[@samskymagpie7008]

I've never clicked one of your videos so fast. I bought this soundtrack on CD as soon as I saw the first movie in cinemas. The music in this movie is incredible and I still listen to it now

[@alexspillowfort888]

This song is so beautiful. It incorporates both Toothless and Hiccups themes. Both start playing in unison when Hiccup and Toothless start to work together to fly through the cliffs, it’s suck a beautiful scene.

[@AbyssalSword]

The moment I hear that score, I just hear "Let's do this, bud." in my head.

[@phoenixwing5133]

Could you react to Underground Symphony Session by Cody Fry? He's an incredible composer and musician and I think you'd really love his work. And if you react to more from him, react to his "Eleanor Rigby" and "I Hear a Symphony" score videos. The guy is a legend. Thanks for the reaction! I love John Powell and his work! He also worked on the Kung Fu Panda soundtrack with Hans Zimmer.

[@serpentmaster1323]

Yes! This franchise is my soulmate franchise Love it. Wher noone goes is amazing too!

[@kropotkinnie]

It's rare a song makes me cry in its beauty and out of happiness, but this one never fails to.

[@keelanc1681]

I swear this music absolutely NAILS giving you the feeling of being right there with them soaring through the sky and experiencing the exhilaration of it alongside the characters, its like I can feel the wind whipping.

[@OliveNLuv]

I am OBSESSED with How To Train Your Dragon. It all started on October 16, 2010. My parents rented How To Train Your Dragon from BlockBuster, and I had no input on their DVD selection. We started the movie and it was okay at the start, the trailers didn't sell it for me...but then we got to the Forbidden Friendship scene. By the end of that scene, I was SOLD!!! I think it was a mix of John Powell's score and the animation and the feelings Hiccup and Toothless were feeling during that scene, but it's such a good franchise, and it's the best franchise, in my opinion! If you haven't watched the movies (How To Train Your Dragon, How To Train Your Dragon 2, and How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World) yet, I guarantee you'll enjoy them! :)

[@DragonGirlKatie]

What i love the most about these movie soundtracks, especially how to train your dragon, is that the music tells the story on it's own. If you liked this you really should check out forbidden friendship, from the same movie, its another of these absolute gems!

[@forgemakesstuff2734]

this song is so beautiful for me, it invokes so much nostalgia that whenever I hear it I feel the impulsive need to watch the entire trilogy again which i just did i'm FINE it's only DRAGONS and BONDING and TEARS OKAY

[@IAmNotSora]

John Powell cooked really hard for these movies and it's amazing

[@Clonelover]

I highly recommend "loosing mom" from how to train your dragon 2 it feels like what heartache would sound like, to me at least

[@boat877slow2-]

I tear up every time I hear test flight, the how to train your dragon trilogy is one of the greatest dreamworks movies ever along with Shrek 1-2, puss and boots 2, megamind and kung fu panda to name a few

[@cherry03512]

i love this movie so much and i'd probably even say it has one of my favorite soundtracks of all time. the music is so beautiful, fits so well, it's exciting, epic and magical, takes me right back to when i first watched this movie as a kid. i just love it.

[@TwiDashFTW]

Test Drive is the most artistically crafted pieces in all of cartoon history I'm not even joking.

[@wallywallace2184]

This movies score didn't have to go as hard as it did but I'm so glad it did. Also I loved watching you get more and more in love with the track.

[@bilmer7465]

that intro gave me chills, it's a track from my favourite game

[@firefightszz]

This and cars were the two movies I would watch almost DAILY as a kid. Anytime I hear this song it’s like an entire tsunami of nostalgia hits me and gives me a nice warm feeling.

[@1withthelion]

This movie has a Viking origin to it so I imagine Sweden, Denmark and Norway have ties to the music here, though to me it sounds more Scottish. The plot is that the Vikings fought dragons in a bitter rivalry, and the most dangerous of them was injured by the protagonist Hiccup, they ended up bonding after a failed attempt to kill it. This song plays when Hiccup tries to fly with the dragon after making a replaced tail wing for it, he tryings getting used to manually adjusting the tail wing and at one point falls after losing the instructions, great movie amazing piece

[@Flameswipe]

"I've never seen how to train your dragon" *instantly goes feral* I love anything Httyd. I really REALLY REALLY suggest you watch it. Test Drive is my favorite ost from this movie. My other favorite is Forbidden Friendship. Pls pls PLS react to Forbidden Friendship.

[@Manalor6955]

Thank you for whoever recommended this! One of the best soundtracks I didn't know I wanted to see reacted to!

[@joyceqiu4307]

that one section where you were questioning the instrument sounds like it would be played by a mix of either/both violin and viola along with flute/piccolo. i play flute and piccolo and that sort of rhythm is pretty common in my music. there’s definitely string instruments in their but i don’t have any experience with those

[@alderbraue]

I get chills every time I listen to this song. Every single time. It’s a wonderful piece.

[@meggoez]

I don't wanna sound like a dork but this song is introducing the bond between Hiccup and Toothless: at first it's very intense, unknown, what's happening? Then slowly both of their themes collide into one once they finally learn to rely on each other. I love HTTYD

[@gustinggrimoire]

Genuinely one of my favorite orchestral pieces

[@the_UF365]

This marks the moment where the 5 year old me realized how much of a genius John Powell is.

[@xCodeXANA]

This song is my FAVORITE piece of any score. Watching your reaction to my favorite song is so exciting. Love this!!!

[@1994moviebuff]

Toothless almost has more in common with a griffon than a dragon. He’s got the same size/anatomy and the same cat-like/bird-like appearance (on top of the obvious dragon powers)

[@pip398]

This movie is literally my favorite movie in the entire world and this song nearly brings me to tears of joy every time I listen to it. I adore the soundtrack, and would also highly recommend listening to Romantic Flight and/or Forbidden Friendship. The movie is a must see. :)

[@nimbusshadow-wings]

Jon Powel should be remembered for his achievements with this score

[@kellylogs2642]

I've loved these movies ever since I saw the first one when I was a kid and by god the music is such a huge part of that. Like, when I'm watching stuff or playing something the music actually demanding as much attention as the visuals is a rare thing, but this is one of those times. If you're interested, I would also say Where No One Goes from the second movie is very much worth a listen.

[@royalpython1736]

The HTTYD soundtrack is inspired by Celtic music. The entire soundtrack(from all three movies) is worth a listen.

[@maddie7202]

Ah oh my god you will love the movie! This song is both Hiccup and Toothless themes that come together right when they figure out how to fly as a pair (at 4:32 in your video!) This is my favourite piece of music ever

[@maggs131]

I remember seeing this in the theater multiple times and this scene sets the movie apart in such an amazing way. I still get goosebumps just hearing it.

[@alyssabullock6421]

WAIT YOU NEVER SAW THIS MOVIE? Duuude, you gotta!! It's a stunning trilogy with even more amazing soundtracks!
