Crew, Cast, and Critics[]
Crew[]
“ | They are pals. The are explorers. She is as much a contributor to the map as Hiccup has been. They just have a very easy-going, very relaxed, very comfortable relationship. | ” |
— Dean DeBlois |
“ | Their 5 years in, so the butterflies are gone. It’s nice to see a comfortable relationship where affectionate little touches or the way they sit together, has a comfort level to it and support. Astrid is the type of character that is not going to be afraid to call Hiccup on his nonsense, to be the reason when he is too absorbed in his own indecision. I think that’s really great. If anything... Astrid is saving Hiccup in this movie instead of the other way around. | ” |
— Dean DeBlois |
“ | And then you realize, when Astrid catches up to him, that she’s the one that’s been adding them to his hair. He just tolerates it. | ” |
— Dean DeBlois on Hiccup's braids in HTTYD 2. |
“ | As Toothless drifts farther away, Hiccup finds that his relationship with Astrid deepens as they work together to make the right decisions. | ” |
— Dean DeBlois |
“ | ...Astrid has been growing alongside [Hiccup]. She’s been his stalwart, companion and supporter through it all. And ultimately, she’s the greatest resource and support that he has. | ” |
— Dean DeBlois |
“ | Early on in the story, Gobber suggests Hiccup and Astrid should stop stirring up trouble, making enemies, and saving dragons. Instead, they should stay at home and rule like a proper royal couple, which means getting married. She [Astrid] bristles at the idea, though we later discover that she wants to get married but doesn't think Hiccup's ready. And she's right. Hiccup has lost so much, including his father. He is afraid of change. He focuses on Toothless as a security blanket and won't let go of the idea that coexistence with dragons is possible. Astrid points out that bringing the dragons back to Berk is not working. Hiccup's solution is to move somewhere else, but she understands they might being doing something wrong and maybe the dragons need to return to the wild. It's an issue they need to resolve before they can move on with their relationship. | ” |
— Dean DeBlois |
“ | She [Astrid] is in every sense really Hiccup’s equal | ” |
— Jeffrey Katzenberg |
“ | The strength of Astrid sharpens Hiccup's sword. | ” |
— Brad Lewis |
“ | "The strength that [Hiccup] got is really (in this case) Astrid. | ” |
— Brad Lewis |
Cast[]
“ | I would love to find an Astrid. | ” |
— Jay Baruchel |
“ | Regardless of how docile and weak Hiccup seems, Astrid is the girl of his dreams. I think for a bunch of different reasons. She can do no wrong in his eyes. | ” |
— Jay Baruchel |
“ | There is no more kind of skirting the issue. They have addressed the elephant in the room. | ” |
— Jay Baruchel |
“ | They complement each other, y'know? Hiccup is 'reason' and Astrid is 'action'. | ” |
— Jay Baruchel |
“ | ..[Astrid] is strong and she’s fierce, and she’s definitely Hiccup’s hero for sure. | ” |
— Jay Baruchel |
“ | Their relationship is still very playful and competitive, but they match each other in their lust for life and adventure. What is fun is that our characters are more grown up now. Because there is a romantic aspect to their relationship, there are more tender moments between them. In the first film she was thinking: ‘Who is this guy? Why should he get to be chief of Berk when I’ve worked hard my whole life?’ But this time she’s his number one supporter because she sees that he’s special and totally capable of leadership. She is a partner in his adventure. | ” |
— America Ferrera |
“ | They are both very independent spirits but are incredibly supportive of one another. | ” |
— America Ferrera |
“ | The second film is five years after the first film and it seems as if Hiccup and Astrid have gotten a little bit more romantically involved and comfortable with each other. And I would say they are boyfriend and girlfriend. They never say “boyfriend and girlfriend” but I think that’s what’s going on. They’re both incredibly independent spirits and very independent in their own rights, but are incredibly supportive of one another. Astrid is Hiccup’s number one defender and champion but also her own leader in her own right. | ” |
— America Ferrera |
“ | I love that you feel their relationship evolving but the story was never a love story. It was never about will they, won’t they. I love that Dean [DeBois] didn’t go that route, which is often the lowest hanging fruit. It was always sort of they fell into who they were with each other and it’s always been that way and we do get the satisfaction the thing you want it to become but without that being the focus. [[src]] | ” |
— America Ferrera |
“ | She [Astrid] is my favorite. She is self-assured, commanding and she knows who she is. I see what a great stalwart she is for my son [Hiccup]. How much she grounds. She is the voice of reason to Hiccup. She is a warrior as well. I love the fact- I think she reminds me of my wife [Valka]. My wife [Valka] was super strong, competitive, and uncompromising... and that's Astrid. I wanna see my son [Hiccup] grow up. I wanna have grandkids! And I want it with the coolest chick in the clan, and that is Astrid. | ” |
— Gerard Butler |
“ | But the implication is that you [Astrid & Hiccup] have ‘got it on’ on some point. | ” |
— Craig Ferguson |
“ | As Hiccup is becoming a man, Astrid is becoming a woman -- becoming a woman in a new world. As they have fallen in love with one another -- it’s a really interesting relationship, and quite a modern relationship in a true and wonderful sense. They’re absolute equals. They’re competitors, they challenge one another, but they're also able to be gentle with one another and tell the truth to one another. And Astrid has abilities in her own rights -- and I think that’s something that (if any man can) Hiccup can respect. So it’s a really dynamic, robust, modern contemporary relationship. | ” |
— Cate Blanchett |
Critics[]
“ | Astrid and Hiccup have a wonderfully relaxed chemistry, as the fact that they are now lovers is handled with minimal fuss (their most romantic moment involves Astrid doing a killer impression of her boyfriend’s agitated worrying) | ” |
— Scott Mendelson, FORBES |
“ | The relationship between Hiccup and Astrid is one of the most well done established relationships in an animated movie. Without being overly romantic, and maintaining a kid-friendly theme, the relationship is still very healthy and showcases good communication. | ” |
— WONDERCON, 2014 |
