Please don’t include a link. Usually they are all not up to date and don’t include the recent films, shorts, and series. I’m not looking for books only animated screen adaptations. Thanks! I just want the chronological order not the release order. Thanks in advance!

It's like how Zealous said, but Legend of the Boneknapper and Book of Dragons could also take place during Riders/Defenders of Berk, as they come across and discover the dragons seen in the short. For example, they record Changewings into the manual in Gem of a Different Color, whereas they have detailed pages for it in the short.

Nope, it's before. Remember when Astrid indirectly told Hiccup that the colour red really fit him? Well, guess what. In Dawn of the Dragon Racers Hiccup's undershirt was green, and afterwards he changed it to a red one in Race To The Edge!

In what order should I watch How To Train Your Dragons movies and cartoon series?

Posted by CHKing325 · in r/httyd · 4 years ago

Hello there. I am good fan of HTTYD universe, and I remember watching it as a quite young kid very well. Now however, that I am 19 years old, I wanna come back to it. See it all again and know how entire story in HTTYD goes. I found an blog/article about order in which movies and cartoon should be watched, to understand entire official canon story easily, however I want to ask, just to make sure.. Is the order listed here correct?

Crazy how much effort was put in between movies 1 and 2. I feel like there was so much missed potential between 2 and 3.

13 upvotes on reddit

LittleYellowFish1 · 3 years ago

Even before The Hidden World came out, the one year gap really bugged me. Not just because there's a lot less potential for filling in the gaps, but because it diluted a huge part of my emotional connection to these films.

The three films came out at three different times in my life. I was 10 years old when the first movie came out and 14 with the second one, and it really resonated when I saw that there'd also been a five year time skip in-universe. I loved this franchise and these characters, and it felt like they'd grown up with me (the fact that the spinoff shows filled in the gap only heightened this effect).

So then another five years passed and I was just starting college, and seeing bearded Hiccup in the first poster made me even more excited. But then it turned out that, while another five years passed for me IRL, The Hidden World picked up right after the second film and the time skip wasn't until the very end.

The separation at the end is fairly emotional, but if there'd actually been a time skip and it was the older, bearded Hiccup who let Toothless go, it'd have hurt me more than Toy Story 3 did.

My story of how I got into How To Train Your Dragon.

Posted by SwimmingDrink · in r/httyd · 8 days ago

I didn't get into the series ironically until the remake came out. I was 6 (born 2004) when the original came out. I was 10 when the 2nd came out but by the time I really knew what the franchise was, I was 13 and in my edgy phase of life. I was only watching PG-13 or R rated films thinking "G and PG films are for kids...." I eventually got out of it but I had already forgotten about How To Train Your Dragon. By that point I sort of convinced myself to judge it as "boring" by it's title. But that all changed in May 2025. I wanted to take my 14 year old sister out to a movie because I was bored and I wanted to spend some quality time with her. There were only two films that she could plausibly sit through. How To Train Your Dragon (2025) or Lilo & Stitch (2025). She had already scene Lilo & Stitch so I took her to How To Train Your Dragon at the suggestion of my father. We both thought it was pretty solid (8/10 as both a standalone and a remake despite the start/stop pacing, but she gave it a 9/10).

And then, with my family, I was trying to convince them to watch the original with me, and during my birthday party (which was just me, my dad, his girlfriend, and my sister) I got my wish. My dad rented the film on Fandango (so that I didn't have to settle on my birthday) and we sat down and watched the original. And it was absolutely incredible. It was a textbook 10/10. Absolutely nothing I could even think about nitpicking. Pacing? Perfect. Writing? Perfect. Characters? Perfect. Animation? Amazing. Humor? Hilarious. Villain? Amazing. All I could think to myself after was "What was I thinking? Why didn't I let myself watch this when I was younger?!"

And then we watched the second a month later. And despite the fact that I felt like Astrid wasn't as present as I would have wanted her to be and the amount of the "Idiot Move" trope I counted, it was a very worthy sequel that earned a 9.5/10 from me for nailing absolutely everything else.

I still have yet to watch The Hidden World (no spoilers in the comments please!) but I have high hopes for it.

Anyone enjoy my story?

I’m so glad new people are getting into it. It’s pretty deep, it’s not just for kids. If you weren’t aware already there’s a series on Netflix called race to the edge that has the same characters set between the first and second movies. It’s very beloved in the fandom and I highly recommend it. The animation is more budget and there’s some filler in there, but they have a lot more time to flesh out charecters and their relationships, which it sounds like you’d enjoy. Plus it had one of the best written and my personal favorite villains (Viggo)

Looking for a dragon movie to watch

Posted by Soliye · in r/MovieSuggestions · 1 year ago

Title says it all. I'm just curious to know if there's any dragon movies to watch that I haven't already seen.

For reference, here's a list of the ones I've seen:

How To Train Your Dragon (Trilogy)
DragonHeart (movies)
Eragon
Reign of Fire
Dragonslayer
Raya and the last dragon
D-War

Anything like that one Harry Potter, Hobbits & GoT are mostly one offs or aren't dragon focus enough.
Same goes for those documentaries, I've seen 'em ;)

I'm not against series suggestion at this point either.
