the saddest ending... | How To Train Your Dragon 3 (2019) | *First Time Watching* | The Hidden World

Well, we made it (barely)!! What a wild ride this trilogy has been and I adored every second!! Thank you to everyone who recommended these movies to me, I owe you one. But you also owe me my tears back! Let me know your thoughts on this third and final entry!! 🔥😭 Full length reaction here: www.patreon.com/niallnochill

To be honest, I never was into this franchise until you reacted to them and it gave me a new look into it like wow! What a journey this was ❤

@@niallnochilldo you know about the 3 different shows? There are 2 on dvd “riders of berk” and “defenders of berk” and one show on Netflix called dragons: race to the edge. Just wanted you to know! I’ve personally watched all three, and they are just as good as the movies! They all take place before the second movie, and add a lot of context.

[@DameHruCZ1]

there are also specials such as how to train your dragon homecoming or a gift from night rage or the series riders of berk and race to edge

[@erijeinix5825]

@@niallnochill You should watch the How To Train Your Dragon: Homecoming. It’s a short film after the last movie.

[@hellogoodbyeandallinbetween]

The villain from the second film was a parallel of stoic if he never saw hiccups side. The villain from the third film is a parallel of hiccup if he killed toothless instead of releasing him.

[@niallnochill]

wait... WAIT!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@Imarealhumaniswear]

Shoot that’s EPIC

[@Phoenix.Moon524]

I saw it that way for a while, but then I began seeing hiccup in with villains. Drago because of the missing arm and taking control of the dragons. We'll Hiccup is missing a leg, and while Stoick showed no signs of ever controlling the dragons, hiccup tames them but could have done it for the wrong reasons like Drago And I see Grimmel a parralel with Stoick if Stoick continued killing dragons since Grimmel has a similar view on dragons as past Stoick

[@shadowlover4556]

So they basically confronted them to grow- FUCKIN GENIUS

[@silentdelicate2299]

I think dragons actually a parallel of hiccup if he rejected toothless after losing his foot

I love that they ended the series in a way that can give the illusion that it was all real and the dragons will come back in real life one day. When I watched it in the theater I heard a little kid ask their mom if the dragons came back yet. I was bawling when i heard that. 😢

[@some_lilo]

@@niallnochillactually, I think there’s another movie or show called nine realms or something like that where they find an egg and it’s one of the night/lightfury babies and I haven’t watched it but I think they made it like a what if a couple hundred years in the future. You could watch it, but the animations and character designs are really not good.

[@Peachy_haze]

The absolute way I was bawling when Toothless recognized Hiccup after so many years 😭😭😭

[@amykat4265]

So, I am a preschool teacher, and after this movie came out, i was having a conversation with a four year old boy. He asked if I'd seen it, I said yes and I loved it, but it made me cry. The little boy was shocked and asked why. I said because it was so sad they had to say good bye. And he says to me in the most earnest, reassuring way, "No no, it's okay! Because they got to see each other again at the end!"

[@eddtheevirgo5679]

proof that animation can provide the best storytelling

[@niallnochill]

Animation is TOP TIER!!

[@lorettabes4553]

That's why I am studying it!

[@artthounasty5877]

The scene where the light fury locks her tootsies with Toothless and falls into the darkness is inspired by the courtship flight of bald eagles, called death spiral. The birds fly high up, lock their talons, and then do a spinning free fall towards the ground. If it fails and the birds can't control their fall and separate their talons, they might hit the ground and die, but if it's a success they've found a partner for life :)

[@tealing_]

oh my god thats so cool

[@kristenesmith]

watch the marriage scene again and you will see that hiccup and toothless's first true bonding moment is on the back sculpture of stoick.

[@dead_dani]

never realized this, i’m sick now 💔

[@sabrinaf506]

This trilogy is the BIGGEST tearjerker, truly storytelling through animation at its finest. The ending is so bittersweet but I think they really made it as perfect a conclusion as could be. I’ve really enjoyed watching your reactions to these, I’m glad you loved them sm!

[@lulystalgianature2968]

And there you go. One of the best trilogies in existence. The movies and series were drastically different from the books, but they kept the same spirit, and even a similar finale. It feels like such a complete journey. You feel satisfied but can't help wanting more. That's how any good movie and/or franchise is suppose to make you feel 😊

[@ariadnapenades1497]

WAIT THERE ARE BOOKS?????

[@lulystalgianature2968]

@@ariadnapenades1497 Of course. It even says so in the credits of each HTTYD movie. They are drastically different from the movies. Heck, even book Toothless is NOTHING like movie Toothless, but it's still a great series. That last book had a revelation that made me close the book in shock. No other ever did that.

[@EatACHAIR308]

There is a little short film you can watch as well, Its like almost a look into why hiccup took his kids to meet Toothless and the dragons, it's really short but fun since you get a look into everyone's adult lives, and even get to see more of Toothless baby's. It's called How to Train your Dragon: Homecoming.

[@yukikanade9091]

I love how all 3 movies deal with a different type of loss. Losing a part of yourself, losing a parent and letting go of a loved one. Hiccup grew with every loss

[@thatawkwardnerd8998]

Hiccup's monologue at the end is straight out of the How To Train Your Dragon books, which I read (and LOVED) as a child, and it still makes me sob every time 😭

I cried while editing this video too… it’s SO SAD!! 😥

[@sathvamp1]

​@@niallnochill It took me a while to stumble upon a movie that I would call a "repeater tearjerker" for me (long story!) BUT... the FIRST one to do that to me was "Nimona" (as of only a few years ago at age ~30)... and that one STILL holds the record... at triggering tears from me upon 15 re-watches! Not sure if you saw "Nimona" yet... I am going to search your channel and try to answer my own question but feel free to respond if you have comments about either that movie if you saw it, or your probability of reacting to it :)

[@Kalaspammm]

4:42 the way he had the same reaction as the gang is amazing ALSO: early gang where u at??

[@ldarrow]

I saw this in theaters when it came out and I was *sobbing* at the end. I grew up with this franchise and seeing it end made me sad but I will always love these movies, til the day I die. I still cry at the end every single time even tho I know what’s coming

[@SpecklesTeeV]

John Powell’s work on the scores and music for HTYYD is so criminally underrated! Without him, this franchise would be nothing.

[@thomasluke-wp8or]

9:56 nice detail with this is that in the previous scene toothless nearly steps in the trap and the light fury growls at him and then he walks around it!

[@SpecklesTeeV]

If you watch Gift Of The Night Fury, you will see that Hiccup offered Toothless a tail that doesn’t need his leg or saddle but he destroyed it because he had no reason to use it until the Light Fury came.

[@smartangel10]

All of the films covered loss and grief in a way children could understand while also being healing for adults. There are very few masterpieces in this world, but this trilogy is absolutely one of them.

[@melinat6105]

[@Fancy_Smanshee]

I would genuinely recommend watching the Netflix series for how to Train Your Dragon. It gives a lot of context on the world that it takes place in. Its one of my favorite Netflix serieses (probably just because I'm a huge fan of how to train your dragon in general). I would recommend just watching it at least once, even if its not put in a reaction video. Anyway! I love your videos and love your vibe in general.

[@os5403]

One thing I love about how to train your dragon is that all the movies make sense to the story, and make it better. It doesn’t feel like the creators were like “let’s make another movie because the money was so good last time” and also, DRAGONSSSS

[@kittykat9538]

The only sad thing is not being able to watch this in cinema 😭, if there ever a re-run IM NOT MISSING IT.

The first film came out when I was 15 and the second film came out when I was 19. Besides the last one, watching these films at the age of Hiccup in the respective films felt special to me. Also I just find it cool that it happened that way.

[@blakeythekitty]

oh my god it just clicked in my head, the reason why Toothless has lightning crackles before he goes invisible can be linked back to the first movie where in the Book of Dragons, they called the Night Furies "the unholy offspring of LIGHTNING and death itself" the ending of this movie is just all of us crying NONSTOP fr :"""D

We cried openly during the end, full on sobbing as everyone was saying their goodbyes. We loved the first two movies so much and this was the only one we got to see when it was released. It was the best theater experience I had, just my mom and I seeing the amazing end to our favorite animated trilogy ❤️

[@katiestars4607]

So glad you loved this film as much as it deserves. You are so right about growing up with these characters; I was 14 when the first movie came out, and I quite literally grew up with them. I remember seeing the first film in high school, the second in college and the third in grad school. This remains one of my favorite movie trilogies because it resonated so much. I love when a story balances and explores humor, grief, silliness, loss, and other nuanced topics. That balance is ageless, not purely for kids or adults. And it always makes a story feel more authentic, at least to me. Thank you for reacting to the whole series

[@bethcushway458]

Amazing reaction Niall❤ I've been desperately waiting for this. What a trilogy eh? I don't trust people who dont cry at the end😂 There's a gorgeous little short film called "How to Train Your Dragon:Homecoming" that fits in just before the epilogue of this film and explains why Hiccup and Astrid and the kids go out to look for Toothless. I highly recommend it. It's beautiful ❤️

[@hellur2653]

People hated how the trilogy ended but I think it ended reasonably and it was a smart way to end things off

[@Dipolar_Diamond_Eriker]

Thank you for such a great reaction to such wonderful films. Best trilogy out there. Thank you for using the She Hulk clip too. Hiccup and Astrid are couple goals.

I have watched this so many times. Like every time there is a reaction (and the countless times I’ve watched it on my own) and only now I realize that Daddy Hiccup looks like John Krazinski in cartoon form!!

Cool thing I noticed when watching this, when the light fury pulls toothless down to the hidden world it looks like they lock claws together like eagles do as a sort of trust fall when they are in love. Idk if they meant to do that but I thought it was neat! 16:51 if where it's shown

[@Minerauru]

I’m so glad I’ve had the honor of watching you react to this fantastic trilogy. These movies made my childhood, and it means so much to me that you feel such strong emotion towards them as well 🫶 I will say that Toothless himself is the last *Night Fury*. LF, however, is not the last of her kind (you can spot multiple Light Furies in the hidden world). The Light Furies are a subspecies of the Night Fury, having adapted to living almost entirely in the hw. Sorry if it’s confusing!!

[@penguin_evere]

i definitely have been waiting for this one. this isn’t just my favorite trilogy, but my favorite franchise. it’s just too good 😭 these movies were made to make you cry. and just imagine being there for every release of each movie, it hits WAY harder in the end. i’ve been a massive fan of this franchise since i was 4, a couple years before the second movie came out. that was one of the first movies i remember seeing in theaters, and just one of my favorite memories. such an amazing trilogy, i can’t. i cry every time i watch the last one, i can’t even listen to the end credits song anymore 🥲

My husband has always loved dragons. He's a big animal lover in general, and a creative, always planning and thinking kind of guy. So these have always been close to his heart.

You should watch inside out 2 that one will definitely bring you to tears!!

[@sathvamp1]

Gosh, even though I've been avoiding theaters lately... your post prompted me to google Inside Out 2 showings near me. I may make an exception :) The first "Inside Out" was actually the first movie I can remember in my LIFE to trigger tears from me (at a late age ~30!). Not only that, but it was the first time in my life also when I actually noticed the feel-good brain endorphins that often come along with tears. They actually caused me to pursue MORE tearjerker movies (which I'd NEVER wanted to do before!). At first I thought that urge was super weird, BUT not after I did some research and found out about those neurotransmitters and hormones in my head lol.

[@saeedalhusseiny5804]
