So weird seeing them making this.. I’ve always pictured filmmaking as something very strict, but Dean and Chris had those fun brainstorm-sessions casually around the table, while joking around at the office. Such a freespirited and down-to-earth production, resulting in a masterpiece

It's amazing how two guys can just start with an idea...

so awesome to hear others enjoy the music as much as I do. This is probably one of my favorite movies of all time and the test drive scene is probably my absolute favorite moment in any movie ever made. the combo of the music where hiccup and toothless fly under that stone arch and toothless wing skims the surface, pure cinematic poetry. I wish I could get into this industry.

I had the same reaction when i watched the movie the first time last year. Somehow i missed the second on the theather, and watched it last week. That obsession came back and I'm watching the tv series now. The incredible part is how related i felt to hiccup, he's awkardness and cutness made him my favorite character of all time. Felt like I was 5 again.

I've never seen a documentary on producing a movie before. I'm so glad I was able to see this. IT was epic enough just to have been able to see them have fun and voice act and just draft so many different ideas and have so many that they could just put together all the most special one's to make it all the greater. And then came the sound effects to give everything life, and the dragons! There is so much magic to this movie, and this WORLD that these animators have created its irreplaceable. This drive, and emotion, and spirit of this movie truly made me cry in joy. They were right, the music is just as important as every other little piece. Its that final touch of magic to bring everything to life. One day, I'll be doing this. I'll get there. And I'll raise some dragons of my own. I'm so glad to have seen this world.

I LOVE THAT THEY FOCUS ON THE RELATIONSHIP STORY! The movie has cool lore, funny lines, a really tight plot, but it’s the HEART that makes it GREAT.

"Is that a vaccum cleaner? on their balcony? That's weird." I laughed so hard I almost dropped my laptop.

25:54 Gerard's Hiccup impression was pretty on point! lol XD

I really hope that in HTTYD 2, there are some of those awesome scenes where there isn't any dialogue and the scene is just played out by the animation and the music, because those moments were the some of the big highlights of the first film, and it would be incredible to see more of those moments in the 2nd one. :)

Yup made that's why a lot of movies suck

This is in my opinion the best animation-film ever made. The score is out of this world and the story is so touching and entertaining at the same time. What an achievement! What a joy to see the network of hearts and hands in the process of making this gem. Thanks for this DreamWorks "Tonic". Really! From the bottom of my heart. Greets from Germany!

Love that they took so much time discussing the Forbidden Friendship, Stoick saving Hiccup and Toothless, and Hiccup losing a foot. These were my favorite moments. Very impactful + the music 💕

I love how this is called "finding the story" because the movie was so different from the book

I've been a huge fan of HTTYD ever since it came out, I literally have an entire youtube playlist of analysis videos about the film and trilogy! How did I not know this film existed?? It was inspiring, heartfelt, and passionate. It's incredible to watch the process from start to finish, and to appreciate each of the people who worked on the film. Literally everyone put so much heart into the film, and it shows. I always love watching the credits after a movie, especially this one. The hard work and creative process is so admirable, and I love recognizing and appreciating talent. Also the fact that they get to go to a spa for the sound design process?? absolutely amazing

It's really nice to see how much love and care went into making this film (Especially since it's my favorite movie of all time). Everyone that worked on this film should feel proud for helping produce this masterpiece.

Dreamworks definitely is the place of my dreams.I hope to God that I can go through those doors one day. Thanks to this film, I discovered that I want to be a digital animator. :) Thanks Dreamworks, for creating such amazing stories. ^..^

The animators acting out their scenes is hilarious especially when they look nothing like their characters. Me one day.

Ok that’s it, i wanna grow up and do what everyone on this documentary does. Create real stories with real and passionate characters and ideas, a real inspiration truthfully, childhood movie 100000000000/10

This movie changed everything. It saved my life. And it was the final element of my decision to work in animation, because I want to give kids what this movie gave me. I will always stand up for this movie and for Dreamworks. I am forever thankful.

I swear, Chris Sanders looks like Grimmel Ever since i watched this movie, it completed and expanded my obsessions for dragons. When i was little before i've watched this movie i used to draw dragons on a CN sketchbook. Still drawing HTYYD dragons to this day

I love it when making of films don't talk down to you. I love seeing all the "boring" details.

So many spine-tingling moments just watching this doc, never mind the film! Unlike so many of these 'behind-the-scenes' featurettes, which are little more than advertisements, this one actually provides great insight into the actual making of the film, including many of the smaller moments which make it so special. Just a shame this wasn't on the dvd/blu-ray!

Chris Sanders is so funny at the beginning!

Why i saw that just now!!!!! I cry in the end! I cry ALWAYS when i hear that music!!! 😭😭💕 THANK U THANK U THANK U GUYS!

This is the best thing ever. I love seeing how httyd was made to become a masterpiece I cried near the end of the video because of the passion they put into this movie, I'm so grateful it exists

How to Train Your Dragon was released on March 18, 2010.. And I was born on March 17, 2010... Its all so cool...

5:26 so that's why the story was so good

Ive watched this video so many times now and I always cry at the music part. That's one of the best scores ever made hands down.

@38:23 - I only discovered HTTYD in July 2021 (So late), but when I watched it for the first time, the music really stood out to me and I aspired to be John Powell since then. I've never heard such enchanting music before.

ahh i love watching their creative process when developing the story. Dreamworks should really follow their way of thinking for their other movies.

There is a very good TV series - Dragons: Riders of Berk. The series serves as a bridge between the first movie and its sequel. I loved it. :)

All of these people working for years so we can enjoy a movie that lasts 1 and half hour.Amazing.Alla your hard work has payed off.We love you all and your movie and we are begging for more!

OMG I always wondered if they were recording and saw the movie and 'Stoick' listened to 'Hiccup' and thought like , 'I don't sound like that!' And he didn''t even notice at first! You know, Jay reminds me a lot of me, just the way he is, just like, well, Hiccup does.

I love the first guy talking about his office “As you can see, everything is perfectly within reach... because nothing is put away.” Haha 😆👌🏼👌🏼 we love

I dont know but this is "Living life to the fullest" for me Wow. I imagine to see John Powell playing his music is absoloutly magical! And talking and discussing such a impactful story is the most fun thing i can dream of.

Jay Baruchel's laugh at 25:55 is the cutest thing. #KawaiiUntilIDie

Seeing the passion and even messiness that went into making one of my favorite movies makes it even better. It’s amazing to be able to follow these creators through the process and just seeing how real they are and how much they cared

this is so cool. watching this kinda makes me want to work on a movie, just to be in an environment like this.

The music still gives me chills! :)

24:38 oh it's just so you astrid ahahhhaha. but i think the scene is deleted somehow, never heard that converstation before in the movie. i think it suppose to be in the forest where astrid throw an axe and saw hiccup running through the woods.

I've seen many movies in my life but How to Train Your Dragon is my favourite it is so beautifully made its a story with so much heart I basically fall into tears when ever I watch it. The animation is amazing the soundtrack is off gods iPod the characters are loveable and the way they captured the father son relationship and hiccup- toothless "forbidden" friendship is genius! Well done! Can't wait for the sequel I also loved the show and can't wait for defenders of Berk to begin

The creation of a legendary movie

Is it wrong I'm near tears? This is too amazing!! I love this movie and Chris Sanders is so humorous and awesome xD

I would kill to help these guys for just a day That's how much I love their animation the show is also just incredible😁

i am obsessed with animation and these films thanks for putting this up it means a lot

Thank you very much for making such a beautifull movie!

This is amazing it really helps you realize just how much work and heart went into this thanks for sharing

Wow, this is my biggest dream! To write a book and then make an animated movie about it! I admire you guys so much! :)

i really appriciated this video thanks to this channel since i bursted into tears last week for #httyd3, and understand how they build this movie make me feel like im a part of this, living in their word, struggling to create this amazing world. Very glad for what you did.

I don't think the show is done just yet. Penguins of Madagascar takes place between the first two movies. Or at least it should despite it feeling like it's an entirely different universe altogether for obvious reasons. Still the show is currently on the air even though the third film came out and is thought to be the last film in the series.

This video is so beautiful for so many reasons :')

This is truly amazing!! Such a wonderful team of people who are so passionate about their jobs! Goes to show how much time and effort are needed to create something as powerful and magical as "How to Train Your Dragon"! :'D

27:45 “How are you guys feeling about a big Stoick sacrificial moment?” Me: so you’re the one that killed Stoick

Im so glad im not the only one! Because it lets you see the hard work and effort put into your favorite films!

they really made something special and heartwarming. and what they did with the second movie, wow!

I personnally dont remember the first time I watched this movie and that makes me really sad because omg!! But what I do know is that it’s the music that made me go back to it, I was watching tik Tok and heard test drive and I was like “I know this” so I looked it up, saw it was httyd, listened to a few of the songs and completely fell in love with the score like I’m still listening to it now and it’s been months Since then I’ve fell in love with each and every character, got a toothless plushie and forced pretty much every friend of mine to watch it, I’ll never be thankful enough for the joy this movie brings me, really so thank you dreamworks

hope they also make a production video on HTTYD 2 as well! This certainly seems to complement the movie very well :D
