Fun fact: Toothless hesitating before he nuzzles into Hiccup's hand for the first time was actually an accident! The animating program the animators used glitched a bit, but when they realized how much depth it added to Toothless' character, they left it in :) Also, I think Toothless waiting a bit to reveal that Hiccup was alive was him being protective over Hiccup. He wanted to hear Stoick apologize and truly mean it so that he'd know never to take his son for granted again. Their bond is just incredible.

More fun fact, the scene where hiccup finds toothless in the woods, his eye being closed and then open after the wing passes over it is also an animation glitch, but they decided to keep it because they liked the creep factor

I think it helped add emotion to Toothless as a character. Put yourself in his shoes for a moment. You're handicapped, trapped, possibly hungry and definately scared. A human, who's kind has hunted and killed other dragons aproaches you with food, and shows empathy to you. He shows you his world (Hiccup drawing Toothless in the dirt) so you show him yours (Drawing a bunch of lines on the ground and turning it into a game of "Dont step on the cracks") Heck even before that, animals share their food with others whom they trust, when Toothless regurgitated half of the fish for Hiccup, Toothless was showing that he trusts Hiccup enough since he discarded his pocket knife. And their friendship blossoms from there. From the moment Hiccup frees Toothless from the trap, right until Toothless turns around to dive back into the flames to rescue Hiccup. You can start to understand why this film was nominated for an academy award.

@@larniieplayz6285 Yeah? Idk that's just the vibe I got, why else hesitate before revealing him? It seemed like there was a moment of reconciliation between Toothless and Stoick, you could just feel the tension between the two at the moment. Stoick, initially hating this beast, learns to care for him because his son cares for him. Then, all the sudden, his son is gone, and all that's left is the beast Stoick once despised. Instead of reacting with anger, he reacts with remorse, which Toothless seems to want out of him before revealing the fact that Hiccup is alive. I think part of it was Toothless's honest curiosity to how Stoick would react, because I, as well, remember being scared and unsure in the moment that Stoick would hurt or blame Toothless when watching the scene, and I think Toothless was wondering that as well and was putting him to the test
I do appreciate how even though Stoic does the cliche "you're not my son" line, you see him visibly recoil when he leave Hiccup, as the weight of what he did hits him. He's not perfect, but he's not just a 2D token "No" Dad character.

I love when Hiccup wakes up and sees that his foot is gone. He just shows how much a viking he is. He faces the hardest moment of his life, he takes one second, one deep breath letting it wash over him, and then he stands up and moves forward, just like his father did.

Honestly, I think the Forbidden Friendship scene is even more amazing and adorable after HTTYD 2 when you consider the fact that Toothless and Hiccup are the same age. They're both curious children learning about each other at that point
"I've fallen in love with a cartoon dragon" Didn't we all? Honestly that "test drive" scene where he ditches the flight manual and learns to just trust Toothless is one of just a handful of scenes that I'd describe as cinematically perfect. These movies are my favourite animated films, even beat out Lion King IMO.
11:21 this scene starts off with hiccups and tootheless’ themes playing individually, then as they fall they both play at the same time chaotically, once hiccup ditches that paper and they sync up just like their themes end up doing that’s why it feels so magical
@turricanedtc3764
3 жыл бұрын
As you say, it's using the score (which is amazing anyway) to reinforce the storytelling (which is pretty much genius). During "Forbidden Friendship", Toothless and Hiccup's themes (or leitmotifs) are sort-of dancing around each other while they size each other up, and during the training montage scenes, the leitmotifs start to mesh around the edges. "Test Drive" is where it all culminates - switching back and forth between Toothless and Hiccup's leitmotifs as each takes control, falling into dissonant and chromatic runs as they're falling, then when they rejoin and Hiccup throws away his "cheat sheet", both of their themes are in sync and equally audible. John Powell was robbed of that Oscar.

HTTYD is meant for minors but has some jokes and deep meanings in the movies, also even the series, where they have different seasons. Riders of Berk, defenders of Berk (the young crew) and Race to the edge. (RTTE) (adult crew, they're 19) 4 example in the series, Snoutlout, the Buffed black haired guy with sheep horns, suffers from home abuse, by his dad's part, seen in subtle ways in the sere a few times. Made for adults and teens to catch it up but not young ones. Where... Y'know makes hittings, disowning, psychologycal abuse indirects. Also deugg addiction from his dad's part,since he is a drunk violent man. And ofc they're vikings,so they're "violent",but y'know ab what kind of violence I'm talking ab. Ofc they won't show it explicitly to not trigger anyone. But yes indirectly or violent moves/yellings from his dad's part and Making the minor step back,stutter, tremble or whatever. Also his big respect and how he sometimes even doesn't looks his dad to his face in some occasions. And how he reacts with his dad(as a puppy) and how he behaves with his friends.(confident annoying macho guy) How he radically changes or even being safe with his friends he has still emotional scars even in 3rd movie, where he's supposed to be 21,and not 15. How he doesn't fking know how to react if someone gives love, care and attention if it's truly meant. And he just stands in there, as an "omkeh, now what am i supposed to do, this is not in the plan,how this thing works?" And it's sad to see a minor(then in RTTE he's 19,but still the same Sweet side) How he has impotence when losing, bullying Hiccup bc of it,or how he feels bad when ppl he likes just tell him to stfu (Astrid, Ruffnut,etc)and he in the end feels bad if they tell him constantly he is dumb and hit him after or whatever. Also when hiccup said to him he was so idiotic and useless,and couldn't ever do a plan by himself and rule the group, and think ab anything... He felt so bad. Since it's also shown that his abusive dad, in subtle ways, he also questions his intelligence or capacities,and forcing him to be the #1, with disowning, yellings or psychologycal punishments etc if he fails. And he even stated once that he would go further than that if his son was as Hiccup or dared to be weak. That makes Snoutlout have a lot of mental issues if psychologists existed in that time. When Hiccup told all that mean things to Snoutlout, Hiccup crossed the line that time. Because made Snoutlout feel actually bad with himself While Snoutlout usually didn't care ab what Hiccup said to him ever. Bit that time, Hiccup saying how bad he was,prob made him remember ab his dad,so flasbacks came,so...yeah, F,i guess... I disliked Hiccup in that chapter from riders of Berk. Bc it's obviously an abused person's signs. I mean. That's not a young kids' topics...

Have you notice how excited stoick was when he said "with you doing so well in the arena,we finally have something to talk about" I don't think it was him loving hiccup all of a sudden because ability I think he just figured that hiccup would be doing so good if he didn't like fighting dragons, and he finally has something in common with his dad he can talk about Before,they couldn't be more different, and finding a topic to talk about with someone so different takes a lot of time. Time which stoick,as a chief, doesn't have He was so genuinely excited to have a real in depth conversation with his son.

I love the attention to detail put into animating Hiccup's expressions and mannerisms. They are somehow quite unique yet transparent and make him all the more sympathetic. E.g. his squirm of surprise after Toothless touched him at 8:30 or his moment of speechless fear at 18:16. So endearing! 🙂
These are my favorite animated movies EVER. I remember seeing an ad for the first one on TV when I was a pre-teen and not being very interested. I walked out of the theater absolutely BLOWN AWAY by how much I loved it.
I love this movie, now even more. My favorite scene was when Hiccup (not sure of the spelling) first flew Toothless and they were falling, 11:12 The way he threw the plan and relied on his reflexes is just amazing along with the score. Thank you so much for choosing to watch this.
When I saw this in theaters so long ago, the scene that stuck with me the most is Toothless going down into the flames after Hiccup. It's just beautiful.
One of my favourite things about this movie is how some of the dragons' behavior was heavily inspired by housecats. Especially with Toothless mirroring, which if you didn't know its when they mimic an action that a creature they like does!!! Absolutely adorable :) Also: Toothless has like a very faint leopard pattern on his scales, this seems to only be in the first movie though
That scene when Toothless and Hiccup bond gets me emotional everytime I see it.
I just found this and damn. this movie always hits me right in the soul. This trilogy is my favorite 3D animation. It really is wonderful. About Sharks, normally they only bite people because they're curious and have no hands, their mode of touching is biting, we're just fragile. Most sharks aren't even interested in the scent of human blood.

You do sound like that, kind of. I mean, that's a goofy, over the top, sarcastic impression, but there are little notes of reality to it.
“I just fell in love with a cartoon. Oh my god. Am I ok with that”. I’m paraphrasing but that had me laughing so hard 🤣. And I can completely relate
I’ve never wanted a pet as much as I want Toothless 🤣
So glad you're reacting to this movie! I love it so much! So many beautiful and heartwarming scenes! The scene of Hiccup reaching out his hand and Toothless nuzzling it has been replicated in many other movies since but hasn't lived up to this. Also, that was more of an exaggerated accent. So, yeah, you guys kinda sound like that, but not to that extreme. ...Unless I've not heard a more intense Scot accent? It's okay. We all fell in love with this animated dragon!' ;) Apparently, the animators fought about whether dragons should act more like cats or dogs. Your reaction at 16:40 is priceless, by the way.

Fun fact, DreamWorks was so worried about the audience’s reaction to Hiccup losing his foot that they showed it to a test audience before actually releasing the film. It was a big risk at the time the movie was released
I absolutely love the HTTYD movies. They are really some of my favorites
14:23 CinemaTherapy's channel does a fantastic job of explaining how Stoick's reaction to basically disowning and shunning Hiccup after yelling at him in this scene (the fact that he looked deeply pained and took that step backwards and his breath hitched) is the ONLY reason the audience doesn't hate him forever. We know he's not evil, he's just a misguided, broken father who's doing his best to lead his people and be a single parent at the same time, the only way he knows how. The animators did a great job of putting that level of emotion in Stoick because if they hadn't, the audience would never have given him a chance to redeem himself. They also explain that Hiccup looks nothing like his father AT ALL, except for their eyes. Hiccup has his mother's face and a similar body frame to hers (slender and lanky) but Hiccup's eyes are the same as his father's.
If you love this one, wait til the next one! 2nd is my fav out of the trilogy, which doesn't happen much! And stoic voiced by Gerard Butler :)
I love how much they paid attention to the viking culture in this movie as well. The book of dragons with nordic runes and Stoic saying "Odin Help Us." Odin was the Chieftain King of the Gods in Norse mythology. Very similar position Zeus had in Greek mythology. The marvel Thor movies along with this series got me more into studying this culture then a few years later only to discover I have viking ancestry on my dad's side. I ride horses and my friends call me the "Hiccup" of their group lol. and I also love tinkering and building things as well like Hiccup did. Although I would love to learn to be a blacksmith. So glad you loved this movie! You should check out the animated series that follows the events between this and second movie. Highly enjoyable!
This is another one of my favorites. Did you notice how many characteristics the dragons share with cats? 😺
I love this movie and its sequel to death. Such great movies! I'm always happy to see other people enjoy one as well.

Also, I feel like if you love this, you'll love Rise of the Guardians, which came out two years after.
Your reaction to the Forbidden Friendship scene made me click the subscribe button right then. It was a joy to see you discover this amazing movie. :)
I absolutely loved your reaction, it’s everything I’ve ever thought about this movie! The visuals, the story, the soundtrack, everything is beautiful!
Watched this as my very first ever 3D movie at ten years old I believe....I'm 22 now and still feel the rush of emotions I felt back then! Pure Legendary work👏👏👏
When this came out my little pre teen heart watched it about million times in a row. Still loved it and named my cat after Hiccup 😂
This movie is my all time favourite, it's just pure awesomeness. The music, the beauty, everything
Everybody who's ever watched this loves Toothless. He's like the cutest animated creature in history. And yeah, the 'forbidden friendship' scene with the hand-touch is the most beautiful scene. It's impossible to not smile while watching it.
I love Toothless is always like "Say sorry first"
This Animation is absolutely UNDERRATED.When i watch ur reaction i still cry even this is like 100th time watching this and I love ur reaction too! Gotta watch more ur VDO.
This series also introduced me to Sigor Ros, their music for the end credits is just so good
This series of movies have my all time favorite music and scores.
Yeey! My favourite trilogy!

Haha, yeah he does sound like them. However, that's to be expected since Stoick and Gobber were voiced by Scottish actors (Gerard Butler and Craig Ferguson).
Before watching the 3rd movie, watch their Christmas special HTTYD: Gift of the Night Fury, which gives a little context to the third movie and is really awesome!
You should really do more DreamWorks films, so many amazing ones!! Love HTTYD, every character is so loveable, even if they do lose their way sometimes. Wonderful reaction!
Lovely commentary. your appreciation for this movie's animation, story, characters, dialogue, and scores is very heart-warming.
i rember when i first watched it i thought it was going to be bad but i loved it!!

Me too! I saw it in the theater with family shortly after it came out, and I thought it was going to be a mediocre/annoying movie. So glad I was wrong! ☺️
Please, please, please do the reaction for "gift of the night fury", " the legend of the boneknapper", " how to train your dragon 2", "how to train your dragon 3" and the Christmas special"how to train your dragon: Homecoming" and if you get hooked on the show there is a side series for this show that shows the events between the movies! "HTTYD riders of berk" which is after movie 1 and "HTTYD race to the edge" which is before movie 2.
If i may give you a recommendation. If you like the visuals, story and music in this perhaps check out legend of the guardians the owls of ga'hoole.
The How to train your Dragon triology is one of the best in terms of fitting music... well done John Powell.
When you close your eyes or turn your head away, you're showing complete trust to the animal. Toothless could have bitten Hiccups entire arm off, but instead he decided that that trust from Hiccup was worth being explored and perhaps even returned. Such a beautiful thing, that wordless communication with an animal, like you were talking about with your own dog. I'm a 43 year old woman and these movies make me cry every time, all 3 of them. That scene towards the end as they're falling, a dragon chasing his boy/best friend into the flames, tied with the one where they first touch as my favorite scenes in the movie. One of a kind trilogy for sure. Love your reactions man, keep up the good work!!
I have been a fan of how to train your dragon for 8 years now and I have watched the third movie about 10000 times and I I still cry at it every time it gets me.❤️
Oh trust me Welchy! This movie is definitely not underrated :D It sparked a trilogy, and several series and special shorts. It remains to this day, one of DreamWorks' most highly esteemed and beloved movies. One of the most amazing movies ever, in my opinion and my absolute favorite animated movie, second to none. To this day, I adore it just as much and even more than when I first saw it. It has changed my life so much and had such a huge influence on me when I was growing up.
Honestly it is so awesome to see a youtuber growing like that. Only year and a half ago Welchy's subscribers grew more then 10 times. So awesome
probably my favorate movie reaction i've seen. I love that you notice little details and things
Honestly one of the best animated films for disability representation and I love it. Seeing a disabled main character for the first time made me cry cos we're rarely included let alone the main character in things.
I literally watched this movie for the first time last night and now i wanna have my own Toothless🤧🤧
This whole series is phenomenal and is to this day my absolute favorite series. Movies and tv series.
I simply love, love, LOVE watching you react to this most excellent movie! THANK you for sharing your heart with us! It is just a pleasure to watch sir. You are a beautiful human being.
Hiccup's dad is voiced by Gerard Butler. Hiccup is Canadian Jay Barochel (might have spelled his last name wrong). This movie is so beautiful on so many levels. Loved your reaction!
Watching you react to this movie brought me back to the first time i ever saw it, all the emotions. So thank you for that! I hadn't seen so far anyone react as deeply as you did appreciating this movie as i did when it came out.
I am so glad this came up on my recommended, I love watching people react for the first time to some of my favorite movies!
Watching you react to this movie was so entertaining. I loved how you talked about the scenes and music in between. Thank you!
