One of the most beautiful parallels in this film is how Toothless flies Astrid around wildly and terrifies her until she apologizes to Hiccup, and at the end, he doesn't reveal that Hiccup is alive until Stoic apologizes.

[@SliderFury1]

That look toothless has on his face is too perfect. Stoic: You brought him back alive! Toothless: You damn right I did, what, who you think you talking to maaaan you trippin, don't act all surprised 😂

[@turricanedtc3764]

I love how that works on multiple levels, though I kind-of see it as both Astrid and (especially) Stoick apologising to both Hiccup *and* Toothless. When Toothless is performing the crazy aggressive aerobatics with Astrid he's essentially responding to her own aggression and showing her what he *could* do if he didn't trust Hiccup; the fact that Hiccup is strongly protesting this approach when Toothless's instincts have actually found the most direct way to get through to the axe-wielding warrior maiden he's just met just makes it funnier. Obviously the scene with Stoick is much heavier emotionally; Toothless's experiences with Stoick have only involved witnessing hurt towards Hiccup and himself - having protected his best friend from the explosion and fire, Toothless is fully prepared to protect Hiccup from his own father until given a reason to believe it's unnecessary. Another aspect to add to the (already humungous) pile of "beautiful" in this movie is the way that Toothless - a non-human character initially portrayed as a threat - is the first to realise just how special a human being Hiccup is. On the basis of a sort-of wary initial trust, Hiccup gave Toothless back his ability to fly. In the subsequent scenes with Astrid and Stoick, Toothless is essentially demanding that both of them acknowledge just how much they have in his friend... And he does it without saying a single word.

Every now and then one of the other studios manages to bust out a Pixar level story. Both of those mentioned absolutely hit that mark.

@@emmetthowell9265 When Hiccup puts the tail on Toothless, Toothless is modelled after one of the animators cats with a piece of tape on its tail. In the movie Toothless takes inspiration from cats in general, not just the animators' cats, as well as dogs. In the first movie he is primarily based on cats. In the second, he's much closer to dog, I.e. playing fetch with Hiccup's leg and wagging his tail

[@allonsvoyons2]

In test screenings, the production asked parents if the fact that he loses a leg is "too much", and parents were like "NO! KEEP IT! For once there are consequences to all the risks taken and stunts!"

[@njebei]

With all the great parts of this movie, the loss of the leg might have been my favorite because we felt little sadness. We'd seen Hiccup help Toothless adjust to the loss of his tail and now Toothless caught Hiccup when he fell after getting his new leg. We knew they'd take care of each other. Such a perfect way to end the story.

[@ClassicalMusic2002]

I think that’s part of what makes this trilogy so great: they’re not afraid to go for the bittersweet moments and they sure don’t try to pull their punches.

100%. Consequences in storytelling are important. It was still a fantastic film without that last twist, but it just adds a little something that elevates it further.

[@Sneakysneaky88]

There's a shot near the end of the movie where Toothless is helping Hiccup walk on his new leg, and then his tail swishes by, and that's where it clicks in your head. They're the same.

[@mariedit9935]

Yesss

[@phoebusapollo8365]

She also silently defends him in the beginning to when the others start making fun of him for lying about taking down a night fury. Not only that, but her dislike of him was justified, she’s dedicated her life to this and trains daily, only for the walking disaster of the village to overnight become *the* uncontested best student, even though he spends his time drawing random designs (for saddles and artificial tail mechanics but she doesn’t know that), building stuff in his workshop, and disappearing for hours on end carrying a basket of fish.

[@ardentstorm9797]

For all the mistakes and failures to communicate, Stoic is actually a great leader. He knows how to motivate his people to do what needs to be done. He's not afraid to get into the dirty work or face danger, he's smart and observant on the battlefield (when everyone else was celebrating the dragons running away, he was still paying attention, sensing something was off.), and he does his best for his people. But no one person has all the answers and he needed to learn to listen to those around him who might see something he missed. Once he did, he was able to open himself to new possibilities and trust his son. He's a stubborn Viking, but even when he said Hiccup wasn't his son anymore, he actually staggered with the weight of what he'd said because he really does care.

One of my favorite things about these movies is that Toothless' behavior was based mostly off of cats. The hunting prowl, the pouncing and sitting, all that such.

What I loved about these films is that they didn’t seem to care about plot armor. Hiccup lost a limb in the first film, and we all know what happened later in the series

[@RTBos194]

Best parts about this trilogy are the soundtracks composed by John Powell. They carry so much emotion and I would love to hear the songs for the first time again as if I've never heard them before!

[@ethancowan8621]

Now that you've watched this movie, my number one recommendation for another DreamWorks movie is Kung Fu Panda. It has always stuck with me ever since I saw it in the theater when I was two. The drama, fights, villains, and messages in the movie are pure perfection 👌

[@bighuge1060]

I absolutely LOVED this movie. I saw it in the theaters in regular 3D and Imax 3D (and the Imax really is a deeper field of 3D to the point where you almost feel the passing Viking ship brush by your ear). The music is the crowning joy; a skilled, varied and gorgeous score that makes the visuals, direction and acting soar.

[@darthroden]

The best part is when Toothless is helping Hiccup walk again and you can both see their disabilities with his tail and Hiccup's leg. This movie was really awesome with handicapped people and showed them that despite their disabilities they can get back up and still accomplish things with help. Great message.

[@joshualopez7035]

Hiccup never set out to ride Toothless; He felt guilty for damaging his tail, so he made a prosthetic. Toothless couldn't actually control how the tail spread out, so Hiccup had to ride him and do it for him.

Scottish Vikings make a lot of sense.

[@SoSoMikaela]

@@gastronomist Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. But yeah, it actually does. Parts of Scotland were colonized by the Norse in the 8th-10th centuries and some Scandinavian influence remains there to this day. Just the existence of a lot of Scots with Scandinavian last names like Ferguson demonstrates there was an undeniable overlap.

[@gastronomist]

@@SoSoMikaela No it doesn't. Norse that colonized Scotland didn't have Scottish accents. Think things through.

Designing Toothless has been long and hard ( for what I remember ), but the team working on it made an incredible job, taking inspiration on few animals ( cat stays the most recognizable ) and succeeding on making him look incredibly cute while sometimes scary/badass. His movements and expressions are pure gold

Something very important that she skipped past:: when Stoic tells Hickup "You're not my son", he walks out of the door, and we actually see him outside, instantly regretting what he just said. It's a moment that shows that Stoic isn't just a loudmouth, but a father. He feels like he shouldn't have said that, but his pride won't let him take it back. It humanizes him in a way that makes his later turnaround more believable.

[@michellehawk282]

One of my all time favorite animated movie series. Loved every single movie. Btw, Hiccup lost his foot because when Toothless tried to save him from the fall, he bit Hiccups foot because it was the closest thing he could reach. Kinda funny cuz when Hiccup captured Toothless, Toothless lost his tail wing so now they're kinda equal.

[@SUBDELTA9]

Toothless didn't bite Hiccup he caught him, he just couldn't shield his entire body so his leg was burned in the fire.

The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy is like Kung Fu Panda: The first one is the best, but the whole trilogy is worth watching. Beautiful moments in all the films. I love how Toothless responded to the apologies of the girl and the dad. I thought that was sweet. And the shot near the end, of the broken tail and broken leg, each helping the other through the door, still gets me.
