HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON - FRIENDSHIP FOREVER

Happy New Year! I'm excited to be starting a new series focusing on the trilogy of animated movies: How to Train Your Dragon. A few years ago, I gave a few Zoom classes on three animated movies/series including HTTYD so it was lovely to revisit the series and all the great themes by John Powell. It's also fun to visit these movies with a live-action version coming out in June.
​
This episode is about the main themes of friendship: One for Hiccup which is actually made of two different parts and a motif for Toothless. As their relationships form from animosity to best friends, the music changes and evolves over the series. I do cover everything chronologically so if have only seen the first movie, you can stop part-way through to avoid spoilers!

One new thing I have tried with this episode is speaking over some of the music because some of the music cues are really long, such as Forbidden Friendship. I am very curious to know whether you like that or not, so feel free to let me know!
