These movies came out when I was 10, 14, and 19 years old. I grew up with this trilogy, I was the perfect target market. I feel blessed that such an incredible trilogy exists, handled with such care and creativity. I absolutely cried in the theater by the end of this movie. Seriously well done, the music just takes each scene to a whole new emotional level.
i was an adult when i watched these and i wouldnt have it wasnt for my kids and ive cried to all 3 movies, it makes me happy that its a family movie not just a kids movie
It's kinda funny how you were talking about the differences/similarities between Stitch and Toothless. Chris Sanders who created and voiced Stitch and was responsible for the Art stly of the Lilo and Stitch Movie actually worked on HTTYD. ( Dean Deblois who also was the Director for Lilo & Stitch also directed all of the HTTYD movies. Chris was the director and screenplay writer for How to Train Your Dragon and the executive producer of How to Train Your Dragon 2 and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World). Chris had some input into the character's final look.
26:41, not sure if y'all caught this, but this scene directly mirrors his first "taming" of Toothless. Brilliant movie design, bringing it to a full circle; ending where it all began. Brings me to tears everytime.
I will NEVER not sob like a baby when they have to say goodbye, when Toothless freaking HUGS Hiccup....and when they see each other again and their kids....AGH!! This trilogy defines emotional damage 😢
33:50 In the first film, there was primarily a dragon villain. In the second film, there was a human villain and a dragon villain. In the final film, there was primarily a human villain.
The drastic change in Toothless is what made the movies so successful, book Toothless is a green dragon with red inlay wings and a pale almost translucent belly, he's also described as being about the size of a "naughty Dachshund or Jack Russell terror" movie toothless (to the direct opposite) is alot more cat inspired, going with the original is a funny thought tho, but for sure they made the right move in changing him 😂
3:14 to answer your question, universal’s new Orlando park, Epic Universe, is opening in 2025 with 4 huge themed lands, one of which is How to Train your Dragon.
I slept on this trilogy WAY too long. I caught the first one on Netflix and immediately bought all three dvd. The music is AMAZING and the characters and story are truly a masterpiece.
So happy you guys finished this one. Probably one of the best trilogies of all time. I do recommend watching the Homecoming short film that basically covers a holiday season between this movie and the reunion scene at the end. It's just a nice little cherry on top and doesn't take much time so it would be a nice little reaction, Jen will definitely appreciate it for sure.
I just turned 60, and I just love this trilogy. And i am thoroughly dreading the live action remake... to the point of a deep seated anger at the notion.
It feels like I've been waiting for this one for centuries but we're finally here!!! This movie breaks me every time. Saying goodbye to a best friend is never easy.
There's 2 series for these movies that you guys should definitely check out, the first series takes place in between the first and 2nd movie and then the second series takes place between the 2nd and 3rd movies and actually provide context to a lot of stuff in the 2nd and 3rd movie
I actually disagree pretty heavily with that. I think this movie focuses back on the most important relationship in the franchise, no doubt about that, but I think the whole point of this movie is to show that Hiccup does not need toothless to be strong, the strength was there the whole time, and who REALLY helped him unlock it was actually Astrid. The movie actually recenters around the relationship that makes the whole franchise work in the first place, which in my opinion the failure to do that is why I think 2 is the weakest of the trilogy, though I still love it. How to Train Your Dragon is at its strongest when Hiccup and Astrid are at their most mutually cohesive. The closer they are, the more the franchise just works. THEY are the franchise. Toothless is amazing but his cuteness kinda creates a bias about his character that he contributes more to the beating heart and soul of the franchise than he actually does. Yeah he makes our heart melt when we see him acting like a puppy dog, but its not his character that connects my soul to HTTYD. Its the developing life partnership between Hiccup and Astrid, and the way they use and communicate their differences to help build eachother into better people, and form something that in whole exceeds the sum of its parts. The title How to Train Your Dragon for me has always been an idiom finding what it is in life that makes you want to be the best person you can be, and building a life that you can be proud of when you look back on it at an old age. Its about training yourself for your life. And in my opinion, never has this concept been better explored than in the life that Hiccup and Astrid choose to share together. When you examine the franchise with a truly intricate eye, it all becomes clear. It is THEIR story.
Recently, I had decided to go through movie series I'd either never seen, never finished, or just want to go through again because its been many years since I saw them. 'How to Train Your Dragon' was on that list because I had only seen the first one. You uploaded this video on the day I watched 'The Hidden World' and I feel like I couldn't have timed it any better. I basically collapsed into tears.
One of the greatest movie trilogies ever made. A cute little fact not mentioned in the movie: apparently Nightfuries and Lightfuries are different species but capable of interbreeding, and their offspring are known as "Nighlights".
3:15 you know Holden… its funny you say that…. You should look into Universal Orlando’s newest theme park called Epic Universe opening next year! The biggest land in that park is How To Train Your Dragon: Isle Of Berk!!!
Now that you guys have watched the movies you should watch the shows. There’s two important shows that I highly recommend. Dragons Defenders/Riders of Berk and then Dragons Race to the Edge. They are both how to train your dragon shows. They take place between 1 and 2. They are extremely great at world building for the franchise and Race to the edge has amazing moments
i just watched Holdens first ever youtube video for the first time and its very impressive how hes stayed the same humble guy as his first couple videos on here. I would love to have met him in real life and be friends
3:14 so true! It would make sense with how many people love it! My only problem with the 3rd movie is Valka and Snotlout. Like EW. It's just wrong! Valka also implies Eret is all braun and no brain while Snotlout has some brains yet everything shows otherwise.Aside from that amazing movie. Great conclusion although bittersweet. The bad guy amazing. It's a great parallel to Hiccup. Grimmel is who Hiccup could've been if he killed Toothless and brought him to Stoic. Also they did really good with designing the hidden world. It's very beautiful. Each section there's a place for each type of Dragon. 27:46 You so could Holden! Or even Stoic! Although he'd be more difficult.
The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy is my favorite animated trilogy. I really felt like this third movie wrapped everything up perfectly. Don't worry Jen I was crying in the theater when Toothless hugged Hiccup at the end there.
im 33 years old and ive seen these 3 movies about 3 times each and every single time I watch them from start to end! these movies are great! i really really wish they could make one more, and if they don't then thats ok! the ending was great as well
Not you guys talking through the big goodbye 🤣 Meanwhile I was having a full breakdown in the cinema, sobbing into my jacket sleeve and trying to stay quiet so no one noticed
I'm glad you compared Toothless to Stitch. The designers of Toothless based the design on a black panther, a salamander and STITCH!!! There are a lot of cute crossovers of them, specially one of them wearing a onsie pijamas of the other.
Holden, you mentioned Universal doing more "How to train your Dragon" rides and stuff..WELLLL....Universal's Epic Universe Park is doing a whole thing with this franchise. Those are the plans for now, at least. Jen, you might get your wish. Bless you both!
Movies like this are emotional to me was tearing up when i watch httyd 3 bc i grew up with him as he also got older and to see his story end with him having kids and getting much order knowing this is the end made me sad bc i felt connected to him
I have never seen Jen cry before during a reaction; not when the puppy from John died, not when Bumblebee got his ass beaten, but here with Toothless and Hiccup reunited after years finally did it😊 But what is Holden's bar? I have never seen the man cry during a movie. EVER. All he does is crack jokes when it gets too serious (which I kinda hate now, not gonna lie), except during Prince of Egypt. What movie could move him to that level, if not even Spider-Man 2 could do that?
The trilogy is so amazing & the ending will always get me. For the 3rd one they could have cut out some of the moments that were awkward but glad they weren’t afraid to go dark. I remember seeing the first time in theaters I cried my eyes out after it was over. I’m curious if the live action will still keep the same emotion like the animated film since the creators are behind it too
You just have to watch a TV series about dragons, not only because of the awesome connection with the second part and the explanation of some things (like Stoick's dragon and Hiccup's sword) but also because of the plot in principle. They dive deeper into what happened on that 5 year gap between the first film and this. They expand on Hiccup and Astrid's relationship, Hiccup and his dad, as well as flesh out the rest of the gang, and how Berk adapted to living with dragons. You should also watch the Gift of the Night Fury holiday special because the events of that are referenced in the third film. And if you like watching Astrid and Hiccup's relationship develop (since when have they been engaged, for example) then you just won’t be able to stop watching this series))))
This is my favorite animated trilogy. I am always a mess at the end because I just don't want it to end. The music is phenomenal with all three movies, it makes you wish that dragons were real and you were flying through the clouds on your own dragon. Toothless is one of the most adorably charismatic characters in film history. I am excited for you guys to watch the Godzilla movies. Aside from the Monsterverse, I hope you also watch the 1998 Godzilla film. It's one of those, "it's so bad that it's good," kind of movie.
HTTYD is such a great franchise by DreamWorks!! I love them all! Glad to see you guys got to see and enjoy them too! On a side note, I recently released a short bad batch animation about Commander Cody, and thought you might like it! I also love that series and can't wait to see you guys react to the final season (along with seeing how it ends myself lol)! My short is only like 40 seconds long, but I figured you'd like it considering how you've liked bad batch so far! Once again, great video, and I can't wait to see more!!!
Hulu has a spinoff tv series to this trilogy. It’s called “Dragons: The Nine Realms”. It’s set 1300 years after this series where dragons are just a legend now.
This is my favorite trilogy of all time, I don"t know if you realized the different kind of enemy in this one, this was dark Hiccup basically, Grimmel was basically what Hiccup would have become if he had killed Toothless the day he found him, you can see that they're both skinny and are smarter than everyone around them, I loved that contrast and basically two sides of the same coin. The ending is by far one of the best of any movie, like Holden said so many movies are open ended with the intention of maybe doing one more, but with this one is like they had a plan from the beginning and it was the perfect closure, Jen I was crying super hard in the theater so you are most definitely not alone. Great reaction!!!💗💗
This is the greatest animated trilogy imo. All three movies are absolutely perfect! And the TV series is basically a filler of what happened in between the movies. It's really cool to watch the TV show and also watch the movies in order. Makes a lot of sense of what happened within the time jumps. 10/10 movie for sure
I feel like I was waiting for this for so long.. Edit: I knew Jen would LOSE IT at the end of this trilogy! As Holden said it really was an end to the trilogy (in the perfect way imo)
My only knock against this movie is having to suspend disbelief that the device on Toothless’ tail would hold up for years. I can assure you nothing else the Vikings built could do that without regular maintenance. 😅
I don't know if it was the editing or what, but I was a little sad how much talking you were doing during those emotional beats of the movie. Those beats really were the highlights of this movie for me and I was fighting back tears in the cinema when I went to watch it. Maybe Holden was joking instead of shedding some tears? 😜 Always a fan of course 😊
I've noticed he does this a lot, talks/makes jokes during emotional scenes in many of the things they react to (it's even worse when they do Friends react and Matt is even more obnoxious about it.) Could be it makes him uncomfortable for some weird reason, but it wouldn't kill him or make him seem less...manly if he allowed himself to tear up (or, heaven forbid, openly cry)
Hopefully the live action lives up to be a great adaptation🙏🏻🙏🏻 but other than i knew Jen was going to cry! This is probably the best animated trilogy so far, I love you guys reaction and thank you as always💯💯
Hey, I would like to recommend link click! Its an underrated donghua (chinese animation) that made in China. The MCs are 2 boys with special abilities who work in a photograph shop, one of them can enter photograph to time travel while another guy can see through photographs of anything happened (kinda) and guide the guy in picture (there are some interesting rules for their "time travel" throughout the series). The stories are based off real scenarios in China and it has insane twists. I finished first season, I was emotionally damaged in most of the episodes. Characters (including side chars) 9/10, story 10/10, animations 10/10 (I rlly like the artstyle), songs 9/10 (especially OP and ED). The fact that im chinese and understanding the lyrics in soul crushing moments made me burst out in more tears. ED always make my heart stops for a beat whenever it starts bc this donghua loves to leave us on cliffhanger at the end of episodes 😂 I would love to see you and your wife's reactions!
Speaking to when u guys said why aren’t they doing something at universal for how to train your dragons. They are actually creating an entire world for them in the new “Epic Universe” park coming in summer 2025 along with a new Harry Potter world, Nintendo world, and monster universe.
it’s so awesome how they made grimmel like the anti hiccup if he were to have killed toothless in the first movie. has all the brain but when he had the chance to either kill or show sympathy he chose the latter. brilliant writing😙🤌
but yes!! I highly recommend ya'll watch the 30m min 4th ''movie'' Homecoming, we have POVs with toothless's babies as well as the human village and how hiccup and everyone been coping for the past years w/o the dragons and its a cute 2.0 ending for the hidden world movie.
In your comment of the day, you mentioned that Dreamworks doesn't have a whole lot of misses and comparable to Disney when it comes to Animations. Here's another Dreamworks favorite that features the music of Elton John and Hans Zimmer with great voice acting, comedic timing and good animation. It's titled "The Road to El Dorado". I hope both of you would take a chance on reacting to this.
Grimmel is interesting as a villain because he's a kind of anti-Hiccup. He's who Hiccup could have grown up to be without the compassion that allowed him to spare Toothless and begin this whole journey in the first place. But instead, because of that compassion and understanding, Hiccup was able to let go of what he loved and come into his own, where Grimmel (and Drago from HTTYD 2 as well) was stuck to the past and to his own ego too much to see anything but his own desires. Fantastic way to conclude the trilogy!
"You gotta get me a goddamm tissue." That's the best quote I've seen about this film.
That quote is so true! And also so funny!
These movies came out when I was 10, 14, and 19 years old. I grew up with this trilogy, I was the perfect target market. I feel blessed that such an incredible trilogy exists, handled with such care and creativity.
I absolutely cried in the theater by the end of this movie. Seriously well done, the music just takes each scene to a whole new emotional level.
for me it was like 6, 10 and 14 I think
@@ToastEmu we're the same age lol
14, 18 and 23
still works great at those ages
Same over here. Still my favorite animated trilogy of all time
i was an adult when i watched these and i wouldnt have it wasnt for my kids and ive cried to all 3 movies, it makes me happy that its a family movie not just a kids movie

jen crying on this one was gold considering she didn't cry on the second when hiccup's dad died
so crying = top marks no tears = low marks
One of, if not the best, animated trilogy EVER. So good! Thanks for covering it.

Now to look forward to the Bad Batch Season 3 reactions on Patreon.
how did you get that picture?
@@wickedshadesproductions5254I’m pretty sure members get exclusive emojis
Just look at you two, gettin all starry-eyed with each other with all your love and stuff. Also, yeah girl what else them wings do? Pure gold

" hes just so wrong" man wants to sleep in his own bed tonight lol

5:35 there is actually a Christmas short film where it shows an island where they mate. It's called “Dragons Gift of the Night Fury”
i just watched Holdens first ever youtube video for the first time and its very impressive how hes stayed the same humble guy as his first couple videos on here. I would love to have met him in real life and be friends
3:14 so true! It would make sense with how many people love it!
My only problem with the 3rd movie is Valka and Snotlout. Like EW. It's just wrong! Valka also implies Eret is all braun and no brain while Snotlout has some brains yet everything shows otherwise.Aside from that amazing movie. Great conclusion although bittersweet.

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE TRILOGIES!
The How to Train Your Dragon trilogy is my favorite animated trilogy. I really felt like this third movie wrapped everything up perfectly. Don't worry Jen I was crying in the theater when Toothless hugged Hiccup at the end there.
The animated short film HTTYD: Homecoming, takes place shortly before the end of this
They should watch it too.
20:14 Just in case you guys missed it, here you can see Drago's Bewilderbeast from the second movie!
THERE IS GONNA BE A HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON LAND AT EPIC UNIVERSE IN ORLANDO! HOLDEN SHOULD TAKE JEN THERE!
im 33 years old and ive seen these 3 movies about 3 times each and every single time I watch them from start to end! these movies are great! i really really wish they could make one more, and if they don't then thats ok! the ending was great as well
In honour of Akira toriyama you should introduce Jen to dragon ball.
But Dragonball first. Then Z. Nothing else makes sense!
Not you guys talking through the big goodbye 🤣
Meanwhile I was having a full breakdown in the cinema, sobbing into my jacket sleeve and trying to stay quiet so no one noticed
I'm glad you compared Toothless to Stitch. The designers of Toothless based the design on a black panther, a salamander and STITCH!!! There are a lot of cute crossovers of them, specially one of them wearing a onsie pijamas of the other.
Holden, you mentioned Universal doing more "How to train your Dragon" rides and stuff..WELLLL....Universal's Epic Universe Park is doing a whole thing with this franchise. Those are the plans for now, at least. Jen, you might get your wish. Bless you both!
YOU GOTTA GET ME A GODDAMN TISSUE!
Movies like this are emotional to me was tearing up when i watch httyd 3 bc i grew up with him as he also got older and to see his story end with him having kids and getting much order knowing this is the end made me sad bc i felt connected to him

UNIVERSAL IS GONNA HAVE A HTTYD LAND NEXT YEAR!
16:46 “what them wings do” is crazy 😭😭
Should really watch the two Christmas specials, especially the second one.
This is my favorite animated trilogy. I am always a mess at the end because I just don't want it to end. The music is phenomenal with all three movies, it makes you wish that dragons were real and you were flying through the clouds on your own dragon. Toothless is one of the most adorably charismatic characters in film history.
I am excited for you guys to watch the Godzilla movies. Aside from the Monsterverse, I hope you also watch the 1998 Godzilla film. It's one of those, "it's so bad that it's good," kind of movie.
I enjoyed watching the series as well. You got to learn more about the dragons and the Gang.
At 3:15 talking about more httyd attractions at the park, they’re building a new hole section for httyd in their new park in Orlando, Epic Universe
It’s funny you mention universal doing a how to train your dragon land, it’s happening in their new Orlando park!
HTTYD is such a great franchise by DreamWorks!! I love them all! Glad to see you guys got to see and enjoy them too!

Great reaction!!!💗💗
universal is having a whole HTTYD land in epic universe! next year!
Another DreamWorks Trilogy I recommend is the Madagascar Trilogy. Childhood favorites of mine for sure! 21:21 funny bit
Funny you mentioned universal, there's actually a Berk themed area coming soon I believe!!
I'll bet the main reason why Toothless is Jen's favorite character is due to her great love of animals.
"Toothless is sweet but smart" Stitch is literally as smart as his creator.
All I know is that the live-action remake has big shoes to fill.
Thankfully a lot of the same creatives will be involved with it.
Finally! I've been waiting to see how you two love or not love the ending
This is the greatest animated trilogy imo. All three movies are absolutely perfect! And the TV series is basically a filler of what happened in between the movies. It's really cool to watch the TV show and also watch the movies in order. Makes a lot of sense of what happened within the time jumps. 10/10 movie for sure
Great trilogy. Hope you and Jen get around to Pixars 'Wall-E'. It's actually the highest rated on IMDB across Pixar and Dreamwork's films.
you guus spoke over all the emotional scenes of the movie my god
Not many know but there is actually one more How to train “movie”. Its a Christmas special that is after the third movie.
It’s okay Jen my sister and I teared up watching this in the theatre too! 😢😅
Am happy that I found your guys channel again
man they really can't watch an emotional scene without joking/talking about something else. Every damn time.
Just a real quick FYI the multiple tv series covers what happened and went on between the movies.
These are the only movies me and my sister has bonded over, our relationship isnt great, but these movies has kept us from riping eachothers heads off
I feel like I was waiting for this for so long..
Edit: I knew Jen would LOSE IT at the end of this trilogy! As Holden said it really was an end to the trilogy (in the perfect way imo)
Fun fact: The dragon (night and light fury) babies are called night lights!
Finally! Someone who thinks the Light Fury is more than a sparkly beluga.
35:10 You guys have got to watch Blue Eye Samurai!
Just noticed the change in the channel name. Love it!
The final chapter in the HTTYD Trilogy..
There's a short set after this
The TV series is between movies 2/3
No the Series is between 1 and 2@@littlesparrow303
My only knock against this movie is having to suspend disbelief that the device on Toothless’ tail would hold up for years. I can assure you nothing else the Vikings built could do that without regular maintenance. 😅
Awww she cried
theres just one more now to complete it
Petition for a Surfs Up review !
Lol, Surfs up is hilarious
My favorite animated movie
@NamiTheAlpha likewise. I been trying to get them to react for over a month now lol
@@josiahmontiel5663 surf's up, the book of life, and ratatouille are my trinity outside of the kfp and httyd series fr
I don't know if it was the editing or what, but I was a little sad how much talking you were doing during those emotional beats of the movie. Those beats really were the highlights of this movie for me and I was fighting back tears in the cinema when I went to watch it.
Maybe Holden was joking instead of shedding some tears? 😜
Always a fan of course 😊
I've noticed he does this a lot, talks/makes jokes during emotional scenes in many of the things they react to (it's even worse when they do Friends react and Matt is even more obnoxious about it.) Could be it makes him uncomfortable for some weird reason, but it wouldn't kill him or make him seem less...manly if he allowed himself to tear up (or, heaven forbid, openly cry)
Is this actually the first time we have seen Jen cry? Not just with this trilogy but like, ever?
Extraordinary trilogy. Truly fantastic.
Universal is building a new theme park to rival Disneyland/world and its going to have an entire 'How to train your dragon' land
I KNEW one of the How to Train Your Dragon movies would get her to break on cam 😂😂😂😂😂😂💗💗💗💗💗💗
I think in January 2024 universal announced a new entire How to train your dragon land and rollercoaster at epic universal. 4 of its 4 major areas
You should show Jen ice age movies and the lion king
great series. i was underwhelmed by the third installment after i watched it in theaters. but it's grown a lot on me
You guys should watch the cartoon that takes place between the first and second movies. It's pretty good.
Please watch THE NEVERENDING STORY.
Hopefully the live action lives up to be a great adaptation🙏🏻🙏🏻 but other than i knew Jen was going to cry! This is probably the best animated trilogy so far, I love you guys reaction and thank you as always💯💯
Hey, I would like to recommend link click! Its an underrated donghua (chinese animation) that made in China. The MCs are 2 boys with special abilities who work in a photograph shop, one of them can enter photograph to time travel while another guy can see through photographs of anything happened (kinda) and guide the guy in picture (there are some interesting rules for their "time travel" throughout the series). The stories are based off real scenarios in China and it has insane twists. I finished first season, I was emotionally damaged in most of the episodes.
Characters (including side chars) 9/10, story 10/10, animations 10/10 (I rlly like the artstyle), songs 9/10 (especially OP and ED). The fact that im chinese and understanding the lyrics in soul crushing moments made me burst out in more tears. ED always make my heart stops for a beat whenever it starts bc this donghua loves to leave us on cliffhanger at the end of episodes 😂 I would love to see you and your wife's reactions!
Who doesn't love a good future family ending
Speaking to when u guys said why aren’t they doing something at universal for how to train your dragons. They are actually creating an entire world for them in the new “Epic Universe” park coming in summer 2025 along with a new Harry Potter world, Nintendo world, and monster universe.
it’s so awesome how they made grimmel like the anti hiccup if he were to have killed toothless in the first movie. has all the brain but when he had the chance to either kill or show sympathy he chose the latter. brilliant writing😙🤌
but yes!! I highly recommend ya'll watch the 30m min 4th ''movie'' Homecoming, we have POVs with toothless's babies as well as the human village and how hiccup and everyone been coping for the past years w/o the dragons and its a cute 2.0 ending for the hidden world movie.
In your comment of the day, you mentioned that Dreamworks doesn't have a whole lot of misses and comparable to Disney when it comes to Animations. Here's another Dreamworks favorite that features the music of Elton John and Hans Zimmer with great voice acting, comedic timing and good animation. It's titled "The Road to El Dorado". I hope both of you would take a chance on reacting to this.
Universal did just announce the addition of HTTYD to the Park/s I believe!
Grimmel is interesting as a villain because he's a kind of anti-Hiccup. He's who Hiccup could have grown up to be without the compassion that allowed him to spare Toothless and begin this whole journey in the first place. But instead, because of that compassion and understanding, Hiccup was able to let go of what he loved and come into his own, where Grimmel (and Drago from HTTYD 2 as well) was stuck to the past and to his own ego too much to see anything but his own desires. Fantastic way to conclude the trilogy!
Universal is actually building a new theme park called Epic Universe and it is going to have a How to Train Your Dragon area as one of its lands
These are great. It might be cool for you guys to react to the tv show as well at some point.
