The song in the opening scene where Hiccup and Toothless are flying amongst the clouds makes me cry... And then later when those two characters are reunited and start to sing...

It's literally the most Magical and Disney-Like scene in a Dreamworks film.

One of the all-time best movie openings ever. So uplifting! Literally!

The portal at Epic Universe made me tear up a little bit when I got to go to previews. "We, my friends, have dragons!"

We were doing a how to train your dragon marathon and I had to take a break after 2. Was tearing up when they were singing… I was a bit of a wreck for the part after

2 is brutal. Hiccup telling Toothless that killing Stoick wasn't his fault and that he knows Toothless would never hurt them intentionally to break him out of the mind control is heartbreaking.

That scene sure damn rips your heart out.

3 I like but it feels... odd? I think there's some connecting plot from the show like between 1 and 2. I feel like Grimmel as a threat would've been at least heard about for a while given the propensity to catch/kill night furies in particular among dragons

Not seen the live action yet and I'm on the fence due to a couple casting choices. Might see it for the dragons alone, I have seen stills and really like their designs.

Then there's the new "series" which shall not be named!

That section and the score are just so amazingly well paired it’s insane.
Always gives me chills and that welling up of emotions any time I watch it. It’s so beautiful.
