Everything GREAT About How To Train Your Dragon!

Ok so How to Train Your Dragon has LITERALLY the best soundtrack, let’s talk about that for a second.

3:40 Toothless briefly hesitates before moving forward to meet Hiccup's hand. This was actually a glitch, but they liked it so much that they decided to leave it in.

Cool fact: The scene where hiccup and toothless fly for the first time (Song called Test drive) Is actually toothless's theme and hiccups theme melded together which is why it's such an impacting moment. It shows them melding together visually and musically at the same time!

6:23 One thing I particularly appreciate about this scene is how previously Toothless couldn't manage to escape that big hole in the ground even after days of attempts, yet now he nails it immediately since he's rushing to save his friend... that's powerful

Did anyone else notice the amazing foreshadowing? First scene of the movie he says, "I'll kill a dragon, my life will get infinitely better, I might even get a date." Then Hiccup kills the Red Death and that's exactly what happens.

"My wife bought a Jeep because it reminded her of Toothless"😂😂

Something you didn't touch on is Toothless' understanding of apologies. Its only when Astrid apologized to Hiccup that Toothless calmed down and flew more gently. More important, Toothless didn't reveal Hiccup to be alive at the end until he heard Stoic apologize. Then he unfolded his wings revealing that he had saved him.

Duh duh duh we’re dead My fave line in the whole movie

When Hiccup raises the dagger, what Toothless does just breaks my heart, he's too ready for his death.

I'd like to point out an Astrid win when she first saw Toothless. She told Hiccup to run not expecting to get out alive but giving Hiccup a chance to escape.

I love the way Astrid and Hiccup’s relationship plays out, too. At first, she thinks he’s weak, a coward. But she slowly grows to appreciate his best qualities. Namely, his ingenuity, mercy, and genuine bravery for even daring to tame a Night Fury. She grows to like him as he is, and lets her tough girl exterior break down a bit to let him in. It’s really heartwarming and sweet.

I feel like the door bouncing open again is to represent how their relationship isn't beyond repair and foreshadows then reconciling later.

hiccup is also a crippled hero. we don't get a lot of primary main protagonists with disabilities. realize I said there isn't a lot, not that there isn't any. inb4 prof. X and daredevil

CinemaWins has a wife? That's a win for you.

Fun fact: Toothless hesitating before putting his head under Hiccups hand was a glitch, but they liked the scene so much they decided to keep it in. A true demonstration of how mess ups can be amazing in result. (Not all the time though, obviously.)

Another thing I like about the movie is that if you remember, when hiccup was in his first day of dragon training, gobber saved hiccup from meatlug and gobber said ‘ A dragon will always go for the kill’. Then hiccup questioned himself on why toothless didn’t kill him and says ‘ So why didn’t you’?. Now towards the end when the vikings tribe go to the dragon nest, Hiccup said ‘ Why didn’t I kill that dragon when I found it in the woods, Wouldn’t it be better for everyone’? So Astrid said ‘ Yep the rest of us would’ve done it, SO why didn’t you? Man I love that 😀

I like the line “thanks for nothing, you useless reptile.” Because I love how it gives off that best friend vibe since best friends usually Insult each other like that either that or it’s just me edit: thank you for all the likes you wonderful people💕💕

Two of my favorite wins that didn't get mentioned: - Hiccup is left handed - The scene when Stoick gives Hiccup the hat, and excitedly says "With you doing so well in the ring, we finally have something to talk about!" It shows how he really does want to bond with his son. Overall I find Stoick much more developed than your usual obstructionist parent character.

5:48 "thanks for nothing, you useless reptile". LOL Hiccup's sarcastic and sassy banter is memorable. Jay Baruchel's voice acting is really something!

9:23 is probably my favorite shot in all of movie history. It's such a powerful shot to show how they've both lost a piece of themselves (On the same side) and that hiccup helps toothless fly and now it shows toothless helping hiccup to walk. It's so great that they made such a strong movie with such amazing amputee characters who aren't slowed down by what they don't have.
