So here’s the thing. The reason Astrid “flips” is because she’s actually a rational, open minded person who once she was presented evidence of a different way of thinking she changes her mind. She has the energy of a kid who really tries and excels in something because that thing is their whole personality. So it makes sense she’s frustrated when all of a sudden someone who doesn’t take it seriously AT ALL shows up and completely outclasses her.

[@laurajanco2i]

Period...I feel like most people think Astrid is just jealous of Hiccup's skills but that's not what it is. Imagine if someone out of nowhere, got the best mark in an exam they told you they don't care about at all, but you've studied an year for that thing and you've always worked to be the best and to make your family proud (in Astrid's case the village)...you'd find that not only unfair, but quite suspicious too. It's when Astrid gets to know Hiccup, his dreams and his love for the dragons that she switches sides. She admires his heart, honesty and now that she knows his intentions, she supports him because she believes in him and she loves him for who he really is.

[@jakemaxgross]

My argument has no merit. That is an extremely great point and especially from a teenage perception at least modern day given the context of the film shows how well written it is. But the series matured with its audience until i5s sequel series? From what I have heard is flaming garbage.

[@islaythejabberwokky]

I had issues with Astrid at first when I first saw this movie as a teenager, but now that I'm looking back at it, she really was the most mature and level-headed character in the whole movie. Even after the flying sequence that "magically" changed her mind, she still had valid concerns about the dragons' motives and the danger they posed, and upen seeing the nest and understanding the hierarchy structure, she realized the vikings seriously needed to rethink their attack strategy. So she was already adaptable in that sense. I don't think it was the flying, or the pretty clouds that made her change her mind, I really think it was seeing the deadset determination on Hiccup's face when he insisted on protecting Toothless. She was hostile towards Hiccup before because he seemed/acted like he didn't care, but she saw how much he genuinely cared about saving this dragon and was like "damn, okay. I can respect that. I respect you now." And honestly I love her for being ride-or-die like that.

[@silentdelicate2299]

Thing is tho she didn’t need to rude to him every time he was in her orbit and he was taking it seriously he had no idea what he was doing but his dad always shielded him

[@one-eyedpete3302]

Another reason is that Hiccup didn't know himself before he met Toothless, and he thought that he was meant to be like the rest of the Vikings. But once he met Toothless, his focus shifted, and he excelled thereinafter because that was who he was; still a Viking, just not the kind that he initially thought he had to be. When Astrid saw that he was sticking up for who he really was he got her attention because he learnt himself and stuck up for it, showing her his courage, and perhaps reminding her that he was just as brave as her; reminding, because he was perhaps the bravest in his Village by trying his hardest to fight dragons, despite being seen as clumsy and reckless.

[@Kyukon-038]

I really like how they did Stoic as a misunderstanding Dad. He's awful at communication and has real trouble with change, but he only ever wanted to protect his son, prepare his son, and make a better future for him. The one time he said something malicious to his son, he instantly regretted it, and the door slam, cracking back open was pretty good symbolism of that.

[@tehdipstick]

What I like is that it also goes both ways. Hiccup isn't good at communicating with Stoick either. He lies, disobeys his father and makes jokes concerning serious matters, like the village not having enough food to last through winter. It does a good job of showing that neither are great at listening, Stoick because he's set in his ways and Hiccup because he's kind of a rebellious teenager.

[@IAmHavok]

Spider-Verse is giving it a run for it's money but the third movie will be the deciding factor. Right now I agree fully.

[@SohiHien]

even better was the look of devastation on his face and how he staggered his steps, needing to breathe for a minute before continuing down the stairs. He clearly regretted what he said but was too proud to go back and apologize

[@cokecan6169]

He's really fucking realistic. The awkward silences, the way he has no idea how to express his feelings because he sucks at communication.

[@novastarburst3939]

He's not that misunderstanding than that, Hiccup already lied several times, keep messing around to do like the others when his father tried to accept he wasn't made for fighting and let him be Gobber's apprentice instead. Hiccup wanting to be someone he wasn't actually caused troubles and as a chief, and responsible for a whole clan he didn't have time for his son's ideas. Both actually were wrong and right at the same time. The scene where Hiccup said he should have talk first is the sum up of their problem: Hiccup wants to fight dragons, do everything to do it even if his father forbid him to, and when his father who was worried for his safety finally gave up and tells him he can do it, Hiccup, for no obvious reason refuses and want to do the opposite. His reasons were understandable but Stoick was right to be furious at him.

[@ReXtion88]

[@neilbiggs1353]

Can confirm, still funny having just read the comment!

[@denimvelvet4670]

Honestly my favorite part of this series is that Hiccup loses his leg, and doesn't magically gain it back. No "we found a magical person who healed his leg!" They don't even try to give him some sort of a boot to make it look like he never lost his leg. He stays that way the entire time. Through the next two movies, the multiple television series, and everything.

[@angel_astre]

And they address it as well, like the prosthetic leg is an active part of the story, it's not just "look he has a prosthetic leg, end of story" it changes throughout the story and hiccup uses it to his advantage sometimes

[@tararocksong5085]

And Hiccup has great advantages of having a metal foot.

[@revy_kath6587]

Let‘s also mention, that the soundtrack is one of the best scores ever written for the movie industry

[@kalebstateler2938]

Agreed! This score is insanely good and rivals most live action movies

[@jp3813]

@@kalebstateler2938 No need to even specify "live action". Tons of animated movies have great scores.

[@JiReyAnimation]

19:14 the reason Hiccup took Toothless home was because the safety harness got jammed when they fell and he needed the tools to take it off.

[@GenXDaddyO]

I never caught that. I always thought he was just getting tired of having to go back to the village to make adjustments to the harness and decided to smuggle his “model” into the village to make the final fitting.

[@fabian5813]

How Does No One Pick Up That It Was Hiccup Who Shot Toothless’ Tail Off? Everyone Just Thinks Toothless Was Born Like That But He Was Obviously Flying In The Beginning

[@collisjeppesen4643]

I was just coming here to see if anybody else mentioned that. Toothless was obviously flying just fine before he was shot out of the sky and bound with ropes midair with that contraption. He finds Toothless all bound up in his rope. The tailfin was damaged either when he got hit or when he crashed to the earth.

[@baron6797]

It never even crossed my mind that toothless was born like. Of course it got destroyed when he got taken down! Who would think otherwise?

[@Caca-yq2di]

And also it was Toothless who most likely bit off Hiccup’s leg as he dived in to save him, so that makes it perfect

Something that a lot of people tend to overlook is the fact that hiccup most likely lost his leg because toothless ate it. In that scene hiccup is falling head first, so the easiest way for toothless to catch him would be by the foot.

Fun fact: at 14:51 that little hesitation Toothless did was actually a animation error, but however, when they noticed it, they kept it in because it made the scene a little better PS- I am aware that the time stamp doesn’t show the hesitation, the editor just happened to cut that lil second out

[@nemanja3678]

So between first and second movie there are two series "Riders of Berk" and "Race to the Edge" RTTE is probably one of my absolute favorite animated series ever and has one of the best written villains Vigo Grimborn so i recommend watching that

I know Hiccup said that the dragons need to bring food to that bigger dragon or they'll be eaten themselves but they were also protecting the humans by feeding it so that it wouldn't have to hunt by itself and thus causing bigger damage

[@worthybutter2004]

The fact that the dragon aren’t directly targeting the human unless they are fighting back also proves that. Most of the time they are trying to avoid conflict while having to get food.

I love how they portrayed Stoic, he isn't just the cliche stern parent stuck in his ways. They heavily hinted why he is this way in a very natural way. He is a single father who is trying his best, guided by what he knows, which is the traditional Viking way that he and the rest of his people had embraced. So he is totally at a loss for words with his son who does not fit that mould. In the end, he recognized the many ways that Hiccup is different but still very much so a Viking, and made a change.

There's no way, this is incredible. This film series is top notch. We don't talk about episodic stuff One of my favorite details in the first film shows how much Toothless listens to Hiccup. He's a dragon so obviously he doesn't know english, but he understood when both Astrid and Stoic apologized to him because Hiccup is so apologetic and he learned over time what it means from Hiccup. So when Astrid said sorry he stopped terrorizing her and when Stoic said sorry he revealed that Hiccup was alive. Such good writing

[@Jujupl]

A little thing about hiccup: despite his scrawny appearance, he’s really, really strong. He was able to knock out Snotlout’s front 2 teeth and 2 molars AND knock him out cold with one punch from his right hand…..and Hiccup is left handed.

[@kfactor20]

When did this happen?

[@Kelvin23.]

​@@kfactor20TV show

[@matthewgillies7509]

The Vikings' apathy or mistrust of Hiccup's inventions is somewhat historically accurate. The Vikings had a dislike towards archers in warfare, viewing the practice as more cowardly (or less worthy) than fighting in the shieldwall. The Ancient Greeks had a similar, but far stronger dislike for ranged weapons and their users.

[@nightfuryobsessed5488]

Little fun fact for some animation of the film, when Hiccup first finds Toothless and he (Toothless) opens his eye, that was actually an accident. There were (I believe) two teams working on the scene and after the 'camera' pans over the wing, the other animation group made the eye open. This wasn't intended but the producer liked it so much they left it in. Another bit of unintentional animation is when Hiccup holds his hand up to Toothless to show they were friends. When Toothless moves his head a bit towards Hiccups' hand, pauses, then continues, it was an animation bug. Again, they liked it so much they left it in. It's always fun to learn more about this kinda stuff, especially since it all seemed intentional. Just goes to show that sometimes accidents make things better Also, Dreamworks is working with Universal Studio to bring How To Train Your Dragon to their parks, it should be open in 2025 I believe.

[@zavodila9279]

Something I've noticed but I've never seen mentioned is how Stoic apologizes to Hiccup and tells him he's proud of him *before* the battle with the big dragon. It's just a tiny detail that I love that really solidifies Stoic's character and his love for his son; by telling Hiccup that before the fight, it implies that Stoic is proud no matter how the battle ends. Whether it ends in victory or defeat for Hiccup, Stoic is proud of him for even standing up to fight in the first place. That moment wouldn't have been as satisfying if Stoic had said that after victory was already achieved.

[@kalikala84]

It's not just the three movies there is a series and it is just as good as helps with the world building and character growth. Totally worth watching as it fits right into the movies.

I really appreciate Stoick's redemption. Immediately after disowning Hiccup, you see him stagger in horror at the realization and regret. And after he saves Toothless, he apologizes to Hiccup, and insists he doesn't have to risk himself. He's not a villain. He's just a person.

Bro... The dude in the black shirt with the beard talked over THE ENTIRE FILM.. Like, LITERALLY :S

[@itsralphhh02]

Another Suraj impossible try not to predict something that is obvious challenge:

[@K7CG2004]

There doesn’t need to be remake for this. The movie is already beautiful as it is.

[@hiccuphufflepuff176]

Fun Fact: the iconic nose-petting moment when Toothless hesitates and then comes forward again wasn't planned. It was the result of an animation error that they liked and decided to use.

[@DingDong-tn1je]

The girl in the blue totally understands the movie. Be careful with Episode 3!

[@drunkkeymaster]

ATLA is my favorite animated TV series, but this might be my favorite animated movie series. I'm gonna need the next two movie reactions stat, if y'all would.

[@kathybiggs2258]

Toothless’s movements were actually based off of one of the writers cats so technically toothless does move like a cat

[@zacharyz161]

One of the many things I love about this movie is its mastery of the great storytelling rule, Show, Don't Tell. The amount of information this movie gives us about the world and the dragons without anyone explicitly spelling it out is staggering. There were also so many fun fan theories about what we could infer from the info we got too.

[@dexkani9993]

Hiccup has ALWAYS BEEN BRAVE, he's not cowardly, just clumsy and tactful Also Night Furies are so dangerous, a man took up the dangerous task of slaying them all because seeing one usually meant death

[@angellovely1914]

10:18 toothless' design and mannerisms was actually based off of one of the animators cats. he would watch and study the cats movement and everything, so yes he is cat-like

[@mkhaeil3598]

The reason why dragons dont like eels is because it gives them a kind of flu where instead of sneezing they uncontrollably shoot fire balls, until they get exhausted and die

[@XanderGroza]

How To Train Your Dragon is my favorite animated film ever, you guys are gonna love this masterpiece, also if you're looking for more from Dreamworks I'd recommend the Trollhunters series

[@sastia]

The Avatar Flight of Passage ride in Walt Disney world is the closest thing to a dragon ride I can think of.

[@AD-tr7sx]

Someone asked me if I had to name a perfect movie what would it be, it's definitely How to Train Your Dragon, the score, animation, voice acting, plot, characters, development, just a perfect 10/10 movie.

[@weirddeck4193]

blindwave also reacted to this too, thats very bizarre

[@valentinafangirling]

This movie came out the year before Game of Thrones premiered by the way (which is fun considering Kit’s involvement on it). And these movies are based on books that were also released before. So when this premiered there was NO peak on dragons on mainstream media because of game of thrones.

[@bananaslin]

i love how obvious it is that creators who put dragons in things always reference cats for them lmao toothless is such a cat

[@tmarends]

FYI -- Universal Orlando's 3rd theme park, opening soon, will have a HTTYD section.

[@DarthCaedus7]

It’s a religious story, but Prince of Egypt is still the peak of Dreamworks

[@TheOldBear]

Nah this, Shrek 1 and Kung Fu Panda 1 are all better.

[@rishid1932]

Wait until they find out there is entire lore to this movie

[@deggsymarley]

I watched the TV episodes on BBC iPlayer in-between the films, heartwarming stories just like the films

[@absolutlyrandomn]

"you don't have a SEATBELT!?" LMFAOOOOO

[@itsglitchy7]

absolutely adored this series!! the animated tv series are a fun watch too- adds to the world building

[@salad3955]

"hey so I was wondering if I can take you out" every girl I have asked: 13:41

[@piaro2354]

This is a great surprise! Can’t wait

[@abthedragon4921]

HTTYD is my favorite animated trilogy of all time! The franchise in general is really important to me. The 3 movies are great on their own but the TV shows are also entertaining and do a good job of fleshing out the side characters. I'd go into more detail on why this movie is so good but honestly, what can I say that hasn't already been said by the fanbase!?
