Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDjimon Hounsou would often do vocal exercises to prepare for his voice acting. One of these was a loud, terrible scream. Dean DeBlois liked it so much that he decided to use it as Drago's cry to summon his dragons.
- GoofsHiccup loses his helmet over the ocean and it floats. Since it appears to be made of iron and leather it should sink immediately.
- Quotes
Gobber: [at Stoick's funeral] May the valkyries welcome you and lead you through Odin's great battlefield. May they sing your name with love and fury, so that we might hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla and know that you've taken your rightful place at the table of kings. For a great man has fallen: A warrior. A chieftain. A father. A friend.
- Crazy creditsLike the first film, they are no opening credits. The title of the film doesn't show up until the very beginning of the credits.

Lyrics by Jon Thor Birgisson
Music by Jon Thor Birgisson and John Powell
Performed by Jon Thor Birgisson (as Jónsi)
Produced by Alex Somers, John Powell and Jon Thor Birgisson (as Jónsi)
I went in expecting a great film.
I came out blown away.
I can honestly say I've never seen a sequel better than it's predecessor, but How To Train Your Dragon 2 does nothing but improve and top the first one.
The music was the best I've heard in a very long time. The story introduced so many things that was simply another piece of master storytelling. The relationships in the movie, especially Toothless' and Hiccup's, were written to their absolute strongest.
After all the films I've seen, all the shows I've watched, all the books I've read, I have never come across a friendship stronger than Hiccup's and Toothless'. The way they write that relationship is just . . . it's never been done before.
The story itself is actually pretty simple and actually a really short story, but it's a story you could tell the writer fell in love with. And he brought this story to the best it can absolutely be. The villain was chilling, the characters' outcomes were emotional, and the climax will completely shake your soul.
I have no complaints. No complaints at all. There is nothing I would change about that film. Not a single thing.
I just really hope they saved the best for last, because I don't know how they're going to top it.
