The rare occasion when you can see both of Astrid's eyes....

Lol all jokes aside, this is a beautiful scene and How to Train Your Dragon was by far Dreamworks' best trilogy.

Absolutely incredible scene. Should have won all the Oscar’s for this alone. What a sublime movie. Criminally underrated!

[TheWiseMysticalTree]

One of the best scenes in any Dreamworks movie

The scene is amazing but the most amazing thing about it all was the intent in it, that is Astrid insults toothless and in return toothless went and tried to teach her a lesson which worked because he started this scene immediately she said am sorry, that's what makes it so heart warming to me

Who else wants a dragon so bad to fly on when you see this scene

I'm posting the parts of the film commentary on these scenes in the comments of these videos, just because I think people would learn a lot from reading them (they're originally transcribed on the HTTYD wiki). Here's for this part:

"Bonnie Arnold: We're getting ready to go into a sequence. I think, Chris, is this you favorite sequence, what we call the romantic flight?

Chris Sanders: You know, it's one of them. Yeah, it's another sequence where we were able to shut of the dialogue and just be, you know? It's also a moment where we can really indulge the flight. Like all things flight: the way the camera's relating to the dragon as he does his thing, the way we cut between shots, the whole idea of this sequence was, of course, to evoke this real beautiful expanse both inside of them and outside of them. The other thing we were trying to do, we were trying to, and not to much so, but to gently... disorient people. The idea that we get away from the ground and we're doing our best in these shots to barely ever show the ground. Once they clear and they're in the clouds, it's just a landscape. This is in particular one of those moments where there's no up or down. And I have to credit Gil Zimmerman for this shot, which is one of the shots that people pick out of the whole film to talk about. And he brought this shot to us, and I think it's brilliant and it does so much for us and it accomplishes that sort of disorientation that makes you feel like you've left the ground behind, and now you're in this world of clouds.

Bonnie Arnold: And I think Astrid's discovery is... You're with Astrid in discovering this whole fabulous world that, you know, Hiccup knows and he's sharing with her, which I think is so touching. I think it's my favorite music cue, actually.

Dean DeBlois: It is a beautiful, beautiful cue. John brought this in very early on, and it was just one of those winning melodies that we stood by to make sure it didn't get tampered with, 'cause we absolutely loved it.

Chris Sanders: It's a neat little moment that they're flying within sight of Berk, but we know nobody will see them because that dragon is so invisible at night.

Dean DeBlois: And again, in the structure of the story, this being the first viking who has her mind changed and see dragons in a different light, is actually a nod toward how the rest of the vikings have the possibility of changing minds, the village over.

Chris Sanders: Yeah, because Astrid is gonna be the toughest sell of anybody that he knows, save for his father.

Dean DeBlois: This was a moment that was originally scored, that we decided to pare the music back a little bit. It actually plays at a low level underneath, so it's there on a subliminal level, but we wanted to open up a moment for Randy Thom and his sound design crew to kind of really take this over and let us feel what it's like to be surrounded by hundreds of dragons."

[lexusdriver]

I feel like Hiccup and Astrid are on their first date in this scene.

[leechdestroyerbg]

It he's been a very very long time till this scene came on my mind it's so damn nostalgic😭

[pinkhandgang]

This reminds me off a whole new world from Aladdin and can you feel the love tonight from lion king

[DaanBruins]

This is a basically a better version of A Whole New World, which is already one of the best Disney scenes.

[alexisdominey]

The HTTYD area at Universal better have a ride based off this scene.

[marinaa.]

[chheinrich]

[melinaluduena]

The video "Astrid Goes For a Ride" From this channel It's Blocked in my country (🇦🇷) and I don't know why.

[melissamobley]

Who else grew up watching this show and is still obsessed with it

[narrow]

I am a firm believer that The How to train your Dragon trilogy the closest movies that we have to the Lord of the Rings. In my eyes, absolutely the 2nd best Film Franchise of the century after LOTR
