The Sound Of 'How To Train Your Dragon 2'

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is so awesome. It's everything you want in a big summer blockbuster. Action, romance, surprises, suspense, yet for some reason it hasn't struck a cultural chord like many people expected it to. However, it's not over yet for Hiccup and Toothless.

In its second week at the box office, the film crossed $100 million domestic and will pass $200 worldwide later in its third week. Plus, it was the number one movie on a daily basis in its second week. That indicates staying power. Sure that'll change thanks to Optimus Prime and the gang but there's still plenty of time for film goers looking for a dynamite time at the movies to find How to Train Your Dragon 2, a beautiful and rewarding movie in every way.

And when I say "in every way" I mean that. The Soundworks Collection has done a video detailing the sound work in the film. It's great watch to see some of the small details that can regularly go unnoticed in a film of this size and scope.

Thanks to the Soundworks Collection for this great video.
