for future reference, the time gap between HTTYD and HTTYD2 is 5 years

Here's something fun: The dragons passing out when getting scritched under the chin has some loose basis in biology. Cows, when their cooperation is needed, get a thing like a paper clip put on their lip, called a twitch, and while it's pinching and holding their lip, they're super docile. Animal behaviorists originally attributed this to fear, but hilariously enough, brain scans showed that the cow's brains are releasing serious amounts of dopamine and serotonin while the twitch is on. Imagine being able to get high just by pinching your lip!

Fun fact the Eel scene, was further expanded in the Tv show. Dragons are allergic to eels, and it's poisonous to them.

I will never get over how beautiful the music for this movie is. It's generally seen as one of the best movie scores and it deserves every bit of praise that it gets.

Marco bell

When she watches the second movie GEEEEZ

OberonAelfric

One of the best out there. The same era when we got the Shrek series.

Bologna Amputation

Man, I'd forgotten how good this movie was. What a nice time.

sebas hernandez

1:43:00.... yeah, but I'm in Patreon and I have to wait :(

Jakkadyl

I was 9 when I saw this in theaters and it changed my life.

Unstablebeast

Alicia watching this is the epitome of "If not friend why friend shaped?" If one day you tell me Alicia got hurt trying to pet a cute animal that could tear her apart, id believe it

Joe Vocaire

Okay okay okay. Joe, calm down. Yes Alicia is watching your favorite movie of all time. I’m commenting before I watch but I know she’ll love it too. My world can’t crash yet, Alicia must like this

Silvia Dragoness

Friggin' fantastic movie. So glad you liked it so much. Trivia: The way several of the dragons move, but *especially* Toothless, was based very heavily on cats. There's a behind the scenes clip I've seen where they were recording a housecat as reference for the animators and they'd stuck a small ball of tape (sticky-side-out) to its tail to see how it moved while trying to get it off--presumably for the scene when Hiccup first attaches the artificial fin to Toothless's tail.

Noel

This one easly became one of the best animated movies i've ever seen, all three movies are great but first one holds a special place for me <3

Saiyan of earth

Also something to know. We learn from the show that the name "Hiccup" is often used to describe runts, a viking who wasn't built like a linebacker and skinny is best called a Hiccup

TjAlien

Congrats on walking again, Alicia! hearing a cancer patient make so much progress is better than any content.

Alicia, Before you watch the second movie, there is a TV series for this series, I HIGHLY recommend you watch Those first, before your watch the second movie. there are Several series that follow the first movie. from immediately after the first movie, to the start of the second movie. PLEASE watch the series before the second movie. One is on Netflix by the name of Race to the Edge, but the 2 series before that are riders and defenders of Berk. Riders and Defenders of Berk can be found on Amazon Prime video, Peacock, Apple TV, and Fandango at home. If you want to Truly enjoy that characters from the movie and watch them grow, I HIGHLY recommend watching the series.

Ebofa

A small detail I like about Astrid is how during her confrontation with Hiccup, her first instinct when seeing Toothless, even when she disliked him, was to try and get him out of harms way, before telling him to run. Putting herself between him and Toothless. I think it speaks a lot to what sort of person she is that, that is her first instinct. Even when dealing with someone she dislikes/is suspicious of.

Charlie baker

i honestly love the shows more then the later movies but still a classic for a reason

Donald Armstrong IV

I love this trilogy of movies, I believe that all three are equally amazing, everything about these movies are perfect to me

Bigdawg

Still one of my favourite animated movie series, just honestly a good time start to finish

Matthew Snedden

To this day, this is the only movie I watched for the first time on dvd, and then immediately watched it again after credits ended. I literally watched it twice back-to-back.

Daisy Azuras

I hope she watches the entire series. The visuals in the last one are so good.

Radiant

I really hope she watches defenders of berk and race to the edge before the second movie, they are great an add so much to the experience.

JimmWasHere

I'm looking forward to the rest of this series more than the Marvel stuff, and I've watched all the ones posted so far

NekoSoophie!

This is still one of my favorite movies of all time. It came out at a time when I had just broken my leg snowboarding and was going through my dad leaving my family as well as all around tough times in life. I can say it legitimately saved me from ending my life and I will always thank its existence every time I watch it. Love it to the end of time.

Tigerguy

So glad you got to see this. This movie was such a big part of my childhood. It is in my top 5 movies of all time.

Berserker Chief

I love this series. It has a lot of strong sequel movies and shows, and for some reason the sheep give zero fucks about anything throughout the entire series. Never fails to make me laugh.

Tachyon Fast

You are going to fucking LOVE the second movie. Fucking love it.

Adam Finley

She has to watch the series that happen in between Movie 1 and movie 2. To see how they all grow and know what is happening as movie 2 starts.

Magic Man

I came here for one specific part. But yeah. I'm the same way about not reading in games. Ghost Recon, I put .50 cal through walls when I feel lazy

Cassandra

Fun fact, for no particular reason, How To Train Your Dragon 2 came out on Father’s Day weekend.

Gavin Thomas

when toothless is trapped you can see the dad is the one reading his movements and reading his reactions, which is a small part of empathy showing his dad IS CAPABLE but chooses not to be.

Gavin Thomas

another detail i love about the ending fight. they don't stop doing the cinematic things that make "the night fury" less scary, the noise, the silence before the zoom, the creepy shadow perspective, all remain even after the narrative has established the public approval, because those things don't go away, just the meaning and perception. using that pov you can see the magic of being ignorant seeing the same things but having a completely different reaction to them. love it

Hunter

You should watch the Dreamworks Dragons series. Riders of Berk, Defenders of Berk, then Race to the Edge. 8 great seasons of new dragons and peak adventures

I don't know if anyone here is into Jungian psychology, but I was into that shit big time when I first watched this movie. And this movie was literally what Jung was talking about. One of the things he talked about is the primitive practice - found in every tribes across the world - of searching for your spirit animal. You'd be a young kid who's come of age, and you'd leave your tribe for the first time in your life, to go live on your own. You stay close to a body of water, you wait. You will see different animals, and you are waiting for one, for a specific moment, when you'd see a creature and get the distinct impression that you are looking at yourself. And that's it, you'd come back to your village and you'd be an adult. Jung believed this animal represents your soul. Then there's the archetype theory, about how your subconscious is made up of these archetypes, one of the most important of which is the Shadow. The Shadow archetype is often used in popular fiction to construct a villain for the hero, someone the same yet also the opposite, but that's not what the archetype is actually about. It's about rejecting parts of yourself, alienating yourself, which coalesces into a "shadow" that represents everything you hate about yourself. But growth is not achieved by destroying it, but by accepting it, through reconciliation with the shadow, people can become whole, and achieve self-actualization. And Toothless is a shadow in the sky. That's what Toothless is to Hiccup. He found him near a body of water, the injury he dealt to the dragon eventually was reflected on his own body. That's because Toothless is Hiccup, he is his shadow, he is his spirit animal, when Hiccup hurt him, he hurt himself, and when they are together, they are complete. That whole Forbidden Friendship sequence was completely without dialogue, I actually believe if you showed that to a primitive tribe - and you know, once they get over your black sorcery - they would understand exactly what that sequence is all about: a boy finding his spirit animal.

A sad thought I once heard about getting flowers is that most men will receive their first flowers at their funeral.

Hanna

There is a Series that plays between Movies 1 and 2 if you want to expand the lore, get to know the Berkians and all the different kinds of dragons. It also sets up some Easter eggs for movie 2 in the end. Well worth a watch

Azi

I like how Alicia understand where the father is coming form. I do think she missed the part where Hiccups was constantly pestering him to train as a warrior viking that is why he did not listen in the talk they had. He probably assumed he was joking as he tends to do. But the "think like us part" is bad even for warrior military ppl.

bandi138138

One of the rare few series where every movie in the trilogy knocks it out of the park. Ever since I watched the first one in theater, this has been my favorite animated film series.

Harnson

12:19, the face of 'Flabbergasted' 😂

Balrog36

Subbed to Patreon for this one trilogy, I recommend you watch the shows that accompany it as well!

PinkClouds94

I think Alicia would really like Tangled! One of my fav Disney movies!

Bastiwen

You were absolutely right, the dragons were inspired by cats !

Brandon Creek

I get where Alicia is coming from about the whole "He's not smarter or stronger, but more empathetic" angle, but let's not trip... He IS probably literally the smartest guy on the island. Aside from Fish Legs, maybe. He not only learned how to ride and tame dragons, but created an entire saddle/tail wing system from scratch to help Toothless fly... He's got some OP ingenuity and crafting skills for sure
