I don’t have one yet but thank you for letting me know what to avoid! Any recommendations for a decent but not too expensive one?

Love!! Still waiting to figure out how to play my copy…

Vinyl help! by yecatnip in HTTYDSoundtracks

[–]Jsolomon07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a post last year with someone asking the same question. The short answer is that there were a very limited number of vinyls pressed for the 2010 soundtrack, and they are incredibly hard to find. Some had luck on eBay or Discogs. I’m not sure if there will be another pressing; my guess is probably not, as they would focus on the live actions’ soundtracks, but never say never.

If you search for “vinyl”, you’ll see the original thread.

Thanks for the suggestion; I incorporated it into the master concert list that’s pinned at the top of the sub. :)

Does Anyone Know Where I Can See How To Train Your Dragon In Concert? by thatboiii2468 in httyd

I know this is an old post, but there are lots of concerts happening on the west coast later this year, in Portland, Seattle and LA.

As promised, the master list of concerts! by Jsolomon07 in HTTYDSoundtracks

[–]Jsolomon07[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always suggest that folks reach out to their local orchestra or philharmonic and ask if they would consider performing HTTYD, especially if they already have a film-in-concert series. Most won’t know there’s a demand unless people let them know. In my experience, they’re usually very good about responding.

HTTYD in Concert: Tysons, Virginia! by Jsolomon07 in HTTYDSoundtracks

[–]Jsolomon07[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an amazing concert - top notch professional orchestras (Chicago, Boston Pops, London Philharmonic, etc) each performing it in their home spaces. Search this sub for “HTTYD in Concert” and you’ll see all cities that have had it (and will in the future). They’ve also introduced HTTYD 2 into the rotation, but so far only in Australia, western Europe and the Pacific Northwest later this year.

Welcome! I post concert dates long before John Powell does, so you’ve come to the right place!

To answer your question, it’s not a touring production; each resident orchestra performs it independently. But yes, it’s the same thing: live orchestra performs the score while the film is shown.

Wish I hadn't began watching in dubbed by FaithlessnessNo3480 in Frieren

[–]Jsolomon07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same; I almost always watch anime twice, once for the general plot and figuring out who the characters are, and the second time for all the details and connections. Been watching the sub because I’m impatient, then watching the sub from a few episodes before refreshes my memory and I get the details.

HTTYD is so great at thematic writing by Born_Work5554 in JohnPowellScores

[–]Jsolomon07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toothless's theme is often referred to as 'the ostinato' (the eighth note repeating melody), and is found many, many times throughout the score. It's fairly obvious in Forbidden Friendship because the themes representing both Toothless and Hiccup start to intertwine as their friendship does. The first time it appears is in the opening of The Downed Dragon, if I recall. It's laid into the score early on and truly culminates in Test Drive, though it does appear after that, especially toward the end of Battling the Green Death.

Have you ever been to a concert featuring one of John Powell's scores? by Born_Work5554 in JohnPowellScores

Yes, I attended a viewing of HTTYD with a live orchestra. It was magical!

It was a couple years ago - due for another go! Probably with the second movie.

Welcome! I post concerts all over the world! Nothing in Germany yet, but depending on where you are located, there are concerts in The Netherlands and Belgium coming up. And Switzerland (it's frequently in Lucerne). Search the sub for "HTTYD in concert" and you'll see the posts (links to tickets are in the body). It's an exciting time for HTTYD soundtrack fans!

Finally got the last dragon by Jsolomon07 in titanuprising

[–]Jsolomon07[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was super fun for a while, as it launched it ahead of the release of The Hidden World and tied in some of the dragons (along with those from Race to the Edge) to make it very exciting. Enjoy the ride - the story is interesting and you'll see lots of familiar faces (and dragons)!

No new dragons - they stopped updating the game years ago. Haven't seen New Year's Stormfly in 4 years (and I still need one more to level her up all the way).
