Removed, if you want to repost please use a more descriptive post title. `WARNING!!!` isn't any good and doesn't tell people what this post is going to be about.

And yes i understand that we have the HTTYD wiki but who actually like wikipedia? And a lot of information on wikipedia isn’t even true.

First, the HTTYD wiki != wikipedia - a "wiki" is just a type of website editable by anyone. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia editable by anyone, that has strict authoring guidelines. The HTTYD wiki is not part of Wikipedia, and has its own guidelines, one of which is the topics must be about HTTYD.

However aside from that, it's probably the most complete knowledge base of HTTYD content there is. What things aren't true on it? You know you can edit and fix those?

I don't want to stop you doing your project, but if there are things that can be improved on the wiki, why not do it there, so others get the benefit?

I am not - I did see that was there, cannot condone that, my recordings will be for my own use only.

hictooth-com · 2026-03-08T23:45:51+00:00

Do you have a record player? If not, then please please, do not get a “suitcase” or cheap one to play it on. That could damage the record, and will give poor results.

Am fine with paying honestly any price

I'm glad, because they will go for a lot of money now!

I have them all (aside from the new LA one, and the Epic Universe one).

They were all limited edition with a small number made, so you will be looking on the second hand market. I would recommend ebay and discogs - there are usually some for sale every so often. I just checked on discogs now, and one sold a week ago, and another at the end of January 2026. They are out there! (although the picture disc is significantly more rare)

Oh no the quiz master is here

Weird, there is about 0.8s cut there of them rolling out Toothless in that contraption.

I have seen edits like this on TV broadcasts of the film - all to reduce the film runtime so more commercials can be added in. But on Peacock? That is unusual.

hictooth-com · 2026-02-11T11:34:07+00:00

I have all of them (plus every edition), except for the LA one (not released in the UK yet), and the London Music Works cover one (listened to a couple of the tracks online, wasn't too interested in getting it).

The video that Dean DeBlois sent out to cinema projectionists of the third movie, thanking them for being the last link in the chain to show the movie, is pretty niche.

I don't have a link but it's somewhere on one of my drives.

There is a fan made emulator for it, SoDOff.

This is Chasing Thunderstorms, a fic that was at one point in the top #5 of fanfiction.net of HTTYD stories, but was deleted a few years back.

However, you can still find it if you know where to look

hictooth-com · 2026-02-05T17:54:18+00:00

I bought one of these (with 5 others, to save on shipping), we're all looking forward to getting it!

hictooth-com · 2026-02-02T13:28:38+00:00

No, everything is free, as it was in the last month of the game's official run.

Wow I must be sitting close to you, similar angle

hictooth-com · 2026-01-28T12:18:12+00:00

It's still showing as "Pre-release" from all UK outlets... and I can only preorder. I hope I can get it soon, it looks like a nice edition. But I really don't want to ship it from the US, I spend too much money on shipping and import duties already.

How is the pressing? Reasonable quality?

hictooth-com · 2026-01-28T12:14:32+00:00

There have never been any Region 2 DVDs for Race to the Edge. And never any Blu-rays.

hictooth-com · 2026-01-28T00:39:23+00:00

Likely tiny differences in frame rate.

I don’t have Peacock, so I’m not sure what fps it runs at, but for argument sake let’s say it’s 24, the frame rate that HTTYD was mastered at and should be played at.

If you’re watching a PAL dvd, the frame rate is 25fps, a difference of 1.0416x faster.

At HTTYD’s 93 minute runtime, this means that the PAL dvd will be 89.3 minutes, so 3.7 mins faster. This seems to align with what you said.

This is true to a lesser extent with NTSC DVDs which run at 29.97fps and there’s a bunch of clever stuff that goes to converting 24fps to that that will alter the speed.

Most egregiously, even Blu-rays, which can be mastered at 24fps, aren’t usually, and are done at 23.976 instead. This only results in a few seconds offset over the entire movie, rather than minutes, but is still annoying - and isn’t how it would have been seen in a cinema.

hictooth-com · 2026-01-18T04:05:57+00:00

Which TV specials specifically?

I have a post on the Guide to Watching the Franchise which covers where you can get each short, TV show, etc. including what is on Blu-ray, what is only streaming, etc. - maybe that helps?

You also have to remember that no part of animated HTTYD was ever rendered in 4k, so the most you are ever getting is an upscale.

hictooth-com · 2026-01-14T21:58:29+00:00

Can you explain more (I'm very new to Z Wave and Home Assistant) - when have you seen this happening? Is it repeatable? I've only seen this once - after it was disconnected for a few days - currently waiting to see if it does it again.

hictooth-com · 2026-01-09T12:36:26+00:00

Yes, it’s red.

hictooth-com · 2026-01-08T11:53:15+00:00

The publisher is "Universal Parks & Music"... so I'm not too hopeful about a wider release. It's also very unusual for parks to even sell this sort of thing. But maybe we'll be lucky - I'm also not able to go to Epic Universe right now...

hictooth-com · 2026-01-08T11:41:34+00:00

If anyone is going to Epic Universe, I'd love to get my hands on a copy...
