One of the worst movies I've ever seen

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

WARNING YOU MUST WATCH THE FULL LENGTH MOVIE BEFORE WATCHING THIS SHORT!!! Let me start off by saying I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE FULL LENGTH MOVIE!!! I was so excited to see a short film. The movie started out good just like the original but then when Gobber (Craig Ferguson) starts telling his stories it turns into this crappy cartoon, that looks like the Garfield cartoon. It spends 5 minutes of it in this cartoon. The cartoon's were funny but it should have been done just like the other 11 minutes of it! It was funny especially Fishlegs, he's so nerdy and voices his character perfectly! The dragon looked really good! But, this movie still had some cheesy factors that the original did not have. This short was good I just expected more out of it because the original was so good. But, it wasn't a waste of sixteen minutes.

See, now this is what you get when you inject British humor into a film primarily viewed by Americans. They don't get it. I haven't laughed so hard since I last watched Monty Python or read a Douglas Adams novel (or maybe a Doctor Who episode).This short was definitely quite outlandish and different than the feature film. And guess what! It was supposed to be! This being a short film, it allowed the filmmakers to get away with a lot more creativity and freedom than a big blockbuster would've allowed. It seems that any idea, no matter how ridiculous, that leapt to the writers mind ended up on the page. And it was damn funny, too. So get over yourself people and enjoy the ride.I actually enjoyed these 16 minutes more than the entire theatrical film. And it was all because of The Mighty Craig Ferguson. God bless him. Watch his show. Or you're a terrorist.

I imagine the one poor review below was due to the reviewer believing (as I did) that LOTBD would be another feature film like HTTYD. True, it turns out to only be a short, but for what it is it's very good! No, the "stars" are not the main characters Hiccup and Toothless from the first film, but is that so strange? Lots of shorts spotlight secondary characters from the original movie. In this sequel, Gobber goes on a hunt for his old nemesis, the Boneknapper Dragon. He enlists Hiccup and the other junior Vikings, none of whom are quite sure the so-called "Boneknapper" even exists. Since the focus is on Gobber this is Craig Ferguson's party and that's just fine with me; his performance was awesome in the first movie, and here his expressive rantings narrate the growingly ridiculous exploits of Gobber perfectly. The plot is pretty much the same as HTTYD's but that's not such a bad thing. All around, it's a charming little extra chapter of the wonderful original film.

I can't quite put into words how much I was disappointed in this.I love HTTYD, especially for the flight and fight scenes, I enjoyed the dialog and the film was fun.This "film" doesn't deserve to be packaged with HTTYD. It does literally EVERYTHING wrong. All the character don't interact with hiccup except for one scene, he's just there because he has to be, and of coarse he has the "smart" part at the end.Toothless is seen for approximately 10 seconds and only in the background! he was the true star of the original film, the only reason to leave him out would be to cut cost due to animating him. He doesn't do anything funny, make a sound, or interact with anyone. They get him in the film in the beginning and thats it.All the shots are static and simple, no artistic merit behind them at all, the background seemingly thrown together in 5 minutes by a studio intern.The dialog, dear god the dialog is atrocious, consisting mostly of clarifications and terrible puns. Gobber: "A BONENAPPER!"Ruffnut: "A whatnapper?"It's so atrociously bad that I'm actually saddened the original voice cast returns. It shows me they will lend there voices to anything as long as they are paid. Do not watch this, it will be very painful to anyone over the age of 3.
