This TERRIBLE HTTYD Ripoff has NO Shame

If TIGA takes down this video for copyright, I'm going to jump off a cliff...

The fact that some of these ripoffs have less original characters and more absurd stories than a Deviantart fanfic will never not be funny to me.

"How to Train a Dragon Warrior" sounds like a missed opportunity for DreamWorks to do a crossover between HTTYD and Kung Fu Panda

I love the fact that Saber referred to the dragon's transformation as Digivolution. A true man of culture.

From what I can tell I think this would be a good summary of the story. Note that "" means the name is something i made up
- in the land of ripofia, there are warriors who have the ability to tame dragons and use them during combat. These were rightly called dragon warriors.
Dragon warriors are held in high regard as not anyone can easily tame the strong and savage dragons. These warriors not only protect the kingdom but would often test their might in the arena to further increase their fame.
"Riccup" is a brave village boy who also wants to become a dragon warrior. However his friend Sand constantly reminds him that due to the constant dragon hunts, never mind taming one, even finding a dragon has become a diffcult task. However there is a story that in the "forest of death" not far from their village lies a cave which is said to be inhabited by one of the strongest dragons there are. An "arcane furry".
Not wanting to pass up a challenge, with the desire to make a name for himself, "Riccup" ventures forth with Sand in search of the legendary dragon.
As they went into the "forest of death" Sand not wanting to get lost, left a trail of chicken legs that they can follow back. But unknown to them this attracted a dragon and a very aggresive alligator? Crocodile?.
This monster chased them both forcing them to flee, but with a stroke of luck they were able to drop the creature down a cliff. Though in the end they themselves fell as well.
As Sand continued to fall, "Riccup" luckily landed on a ledge. After regaining his composure he sets off once more to not only find the dragons cave but now also his friend.
After going through several ordeals "Riccup" found a cave which he thinks is the one he is looking for. He goes in and sees the inscription inside the cave depicting how strong dragons would make volcanos their home as it aided in their own protection and that this particular volcano was home to the "arcane furry".
Venturing forth however "Riccup" is devastated to see that all the waited in the cave were the remains of an already dead "arcane furry". Stricken with despair "Riccup" falls to the ground, however he soon encounters a small baby dragon.
At the beggining "Riccup" thought that it was useless as the baby dragon would not even hold a candle to the dragons of others, but then a thought came to him. There were always stories on how difficult it was to actually tame a dragon, some would even die due to their failures. But this baby dragon was quite fond of him. If he could make it bond with him in an early age, then taming him to adulthood would be far easier. With this thought he took the dragon in and named it Arcana, based on "arcane furry" which he thinks is the specie of the dragon.
With the dragon in hand he now resumed his search for his friend Sand. And during this search Arcana was striken with moonlight and as it did, it seemed to grow in size comparable to that of a young adult dragon.
"Riccup" finds his friend Sand and helped him out of the forest. Along the way, they encountered another dragon, but this was more friendly compared to stories and was seemingly attached to Sand. This was the same dragon who ate the chicken legs Sand left in an effort to allow them to easily find their way back. Both Sand and "Riccup" were mad at first seeing how their safety not was gone but both could not refuse the advances of the dragon and Sand decided that he too shall become a dragon warrior with this new dragon he has named "chicken"
With the help lf both dragons the group safely found their way out of the forest of death and back to their home.
A training arc then ensues as "Riccup" tries to become a dragon warrior especially since he found that Arcana had grown large enough to be ridden by him. It was rough at first but in the end he was able to get the hang of it.
During training they ran into a girl who named hersef "Offstrid" and was surprised about the presence of Arcana. She told them that Arcana was no "arcane furry" but instead he was a "Moonlight cresent" a rare and dying breed of dragons who gain stronger under the moonlight and can store and give their power to others if certain conditions are met.
"Offstrid" warned them of an impending doom. Darkfire the ruler of dragons is chasing after her with his dragon army. Upon being questioned as to why she presents a necklace with a gem.
She told them that the gem held the power of the mother of Arcana. This was an effort so that Darkfire would be attracted to this gem instead of her son. Protecting him from danger.
"Riccup" tells "Offstrid" that he will take the gem and hopefully lead Darkfire away, to which she accepts. But sadly that plan did not work. Darkfire was already attacking the kingdom with his dragon army overpowering the dragon warriors. Sand and "Riccup" launched a counter offensive succeeding in pushing them back but was too distracted as Darkfire kidnapped "Offstrid"
Darkfire wanted the power stored in the gem to further increase his own but she nolonger had it. Soon both "Riccup" and Sand arrived and started to fight Darkfire only to fail. It is here Darkfire telld them they lack the qualities to fully make their dragons submit which is why they were weak.
"Riccup" then realized that he never really tried to tame Arcana through show of power but instead through forming a bond. With this he knew that their bond was stronger than those of regular dragon warriors. And with the bullshit power of friendship the power stored in the gem was unleashed and strengthend both "Riccup" and Arcana.
They fought Darkfire once more and this time was successful. Sadly Arcana suffered a grave injury. "Riccup" finally knowing that to be a great dragon warrior one must not tame their dragon. But instead befriend them and form a strong bond. As he placed the gem on the now dead body of Arcana, the body was absorbed by the gem. Now "Riccup" wears the gem around his neck knowing that Arcana will always be with him as he now spreads what he has learned to the other dragon warriors.

As a Thai, TIGA isn't just your typical bootleg company, it used to be big in Thailand, but it has faded into obscurity since then. It's famous for its anime dubs, which explains why this abomination feels like an anime.
By the way, the voice actor for the main protagonist is Chanthana Tharachan, AKA Thai Tara Strong. She singlehandedly carried our childhood by voicing several anime characters, including Satoshi (That's Ash from Pokémon. Us Thais really love the Japanese, so we tend to never localise anything Japanese-related, even the use of honorifics) and Doraemon. There's some pretty big name on this list, but well, we have like 9 voice actors in the entire country, so we don't have much choice.
As for the plot, I'll leave it up to your interpretation, lol.
Edit: Alright, here's the funniest part and I couldn't leave you in the dark.
At about 18:56, looks like Arcana (the name of the Toothless ripoff) died, and the protag said something like: "Oh, Arcana, I missed thou so much. I wish thou art still here. Maybe one day, I shall see you again, one day..."
...All while the music is all cheery and joyful.

As a big How to Train Your Dragon fan, the shows are really damn good with the exception of Nine Realms but this makes Nine Realms look like the first movie.

The fact that HTTYD movies and series are more famous than the books they're based on may be lucky for the books' sake, 'cause these companies would be able to make ripoffs of those as well

Google translated the back of the DVD box and it says, "In the valley of Frenchia there is a dragon warrior tournament where opponents must use their own gear, be it the sword or the flamethrower of the dragon, and are a field of cheering. San and H, a young boy who had never seen a dragon before, was so excited that H wanted to become a dragon warrior as he had seen, so he went in search of the dragon as told by his arm. But Zan disagrees with Ace being a dragon warrior. But following H the two will find the dragon or not, and will H be the dragon warrior or not, the basketball is already in here."

One of my favorite things about the original series, and something that is usually left completely out of remakes is the story of hiccup and toothless dealing with disability. Hiccup through loosing his leg, and toothless through part of his tail being cut off. It's such great and genuine representation, and one of the major themes of the HTTYD series, especially with hiccup creating a faux tail in the first film. Leaving them completely out kind of does show you how they view disability.

No one:
The mosquito in my room at 3AM: 0:11

It only took me 14 seconds to burst out laughing HAHA, bootlegs get away with so much it's absolutely *insane!!!*

7:10 - Quality Control's job was to make sure no quality seeped into the movie by mistake.

Apparently; "The story follows two boys named Ha and Sangha, who are trying to find a dragon to take part in a dragon warrior competition. They go around searching for dragons, until Ha finds the Dragon Night Light. Ha befriends the Night Light and Sangha finds a dragon as well. Together, they both train their dragons, however, once they enter the competition, the evil guy wants to stop them. There's also the Princess who is probably the love interest for Ha."

Thai here~
This reminds me of a Thai animated buddhist cartoon series called บุญโต/Boonto (Sometimes write as Bunto, idk which one is correct) it has the worst animation and worse voice acting than this film but it’s not a rip-off and it’s 2d animation. It even has 3 seasons somehow?
I watched a lot of Boonto as a child. I remember at one point there was an English subtitles of this show on KRplus but I can’t find them anymore. Non-subtitles videos are still available on KRplus though.
Actually….there is one episode called “the giver” that have English subtitles. It’s one of the weirdest episodes since It’s in 3d and the story has nothing to do with the series. Boonto, the main character and his friends isn’t here. They introduced new characters that never appear again in later episodes. It’s also the only episode with an English episode name. And the animation is terrible as well :/
I apologize If I made some grammar mistakes. I’m trying my best ✌️😭

Gonna be honest, the gif of Rishi blinking over and over is more appealing than the entire move this video is based on. I kept looking over at it because it just looks so much more pleasing to the eyes.

the least they could do is NOT make the dragon look exactly like Toothless

Gotta love how the design looks exactly like Toothless, but minus the tail fins, which was, like, a very important part of the original movie. It's almost kinda symbolic in a way in that it apes the original HTTYD except for the part that was the heart of the film.
Also I hope the alligator jumping off a cliff becomes a meme.

Honestly ripoffs are fun to laugh at, here are the names me and my sister called the characters in the ripoff movie: H: Hiccough, Sand: Fishbone, Arcana: Toothfull, the girl: Ingrid, the dragon at 11:02 : meatball, darkfire :germall (he reminds me of grimmel in httyd 3), and a night fury: dark dragon. Yea we had way too much fun making fun of this.

14:15
Fake toothless: *evolves*
My Brain: P O K E M O N

How to train your dragon, but someone's grandma found it in the dollar section, and was like "oh, Timmy likes dragons, let's get this for him!"

Honestly, I don't think the HTTYD shows are really any bad. Riders/Defenders of Berk I'd say is average with some genuinely good and bad episodes thrown into the mix. Race to the Edge I think is actually genuinely good, with some great ideas, characters and stories. Nine Realms I'd also put on the average pile, with again a few good ideas. Rescue Riders is for like four year olds and it feels weird to judge that to harshly.

15:27 Those ten seconds made me spit out my drink. The laughter... I couldn't breathe. 😂😂😂

4:14 thanks for a new meme template

Seeing 'fake Toothless' suddenly grow up in seconds makes me think of that scene from the movie 'Eragon', so they somewhat ripped off that movie, too. This dragon is basically what you get when you cross Toothless, Saphira, and an umbreon (considering that it 'evolves' using the moon) into one package.

As a Thai person myself, I didn’t even know before that Tiga has made this abomination. I know that Tiga used to do a lot of ripoff for money but this thing is just what the fuck.

Rishi's art is so good I love the fact she made a few thumbnails for Saber's videos

Was fun seeing this pop up in my feed, having just watched the HTTYD trilogy with my wife. Also surprised at finally seeing something Thai pop up on this channel. From what my mother has told me, bootlegs are *very* common in Thailand. Or, at the least, it was very common a few decades ago...
That said, hope this gets a translation someday. Because I certainly wouldn't ask anyone I know who speaks Thai to translate it lol.

As someone who read the book series, somehow this is more accurate to the first book than the movie (up until the girl shows up) and that’s hilarious to me

Thai person here! Sorry for my bad engish
to be honest..I've never heared or seen this movie before in my entire life. Just find this out from you and ..big BIG yikes-
Heres some of my pet peeve on thai animated movies :
Animated movies in thai always have AT LEAST 2 of these problems 1.) Havily focus on culture and 2.) being a shameless rip-off (💀)
Cultural appropriation is nice if it isnt like.. 99% of the time and this is what went wrong for thai animated movies..theres no interesting and original stuff going on and it just sad-
And, I've seen a LOT of underatted thai animators with HUGE potential. But sadly no one stood up to change it yet. I've always hope it'll happen one day!
I'd love to see you make more content on more animated movies from my country! and of course, make you suffer.

I don't like that one character, Sand, he's rough, coarse, and he gets everywhere

10:33 bro just roasted himself 💀

Riders/Defenders of Berk and Race to the Edge were the best of the HTTYD tv/Netflix series, and very much enjoyable. Nine Realms has its moments, but... I'll be honest, it lacks charm and seems to have taken a heavy budget cut if the janky animations are anything to go by. Heck, in the newest season, they animated the Monstrous Nightmare as running awkwardly on two legs rather than on all fours like it does in everything else. Considering how prevalent that dragon is in the shows and movies, you wouldn't think it possible to make that mistake but Nine Realms found a way.

As a Thai, I'm so sorry for this shameful abomination of an animated film.
iirc Thailand is a goldmine of ripoff of animated film and some good originals, from my childhood.
The good originals, one of them, is called Ja Ting Ja. You should check that out.
Anyway, thank you for your sacrifice for reviewing this "film".

5:37 I don’t think they’d sell it on VHS, since magnetic tape doesn’t take kindly to the humid weather in Southeast Asia.

3:37
The fact that this film has made Spark scream out the “Number 11”, we know he’s having a bad time…

As someone from the HTTYD Fandom in the early to mid 2010's, there was absolutely a subtitled version, it was on KRplus many years ago, unfortunately it's been lost to time, but it did exist, and it was the laughing stock of the original How to Train your Dragon fanbase

As a huge Detective Conan fan i can answer the "Is this legal?" question! They DO have the rights to it, so it would not be illegal for them to upload it to KRplus, however it feels weird to know they are the same company after seeing this movies quality. They've had the rights for a while now, and used to sell VHS's of the series in the early 2000s and now only sell the DVDs through pre-order sales.
I am unsure how their licensing of that series works at the moment, but a little fun fact from the DC wiki is that they have released almost all the movies over there except for one called "The Scarlet Bullet" which i think was the newest one. Now they are competing against Dream Express (DEX) for the rights to the newer movies in the series.
Glad my random knowledge on my comfort anime can come in handy during a video about such a blatant rip off lol

15:33 thats the way I wanna go out had me rolling dude

18:08 me when i turn Discord Light mode on

Well, the rip-off ironically got the Hiccup and Fishlegs being best friend and the main female being the daughter of an authority figure (a king and a chieftain respectively) right just like in the books, unlike the actual movie.

These bad ripoffs are starting to look less like movies and more like uncontained SCP's. How Does this exist?

mom, can we have how to train your dragon?
no we have httyd at home.
httyd at home:

15:41 - Why is Zack Fair’s scar in her thigh?

HTTYD is easily one of the best animated movie series I've ever seen

Toothless was the perfect blend of adorable and death incarnate.

I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st street. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

It looks so freaking bad, doesn’t even need an explanation. The animation just looks like how old 3D animated movies looked like and sky landers is so much better than whatever that is, better animation quality
16:32 WHAT EVEN WAS THAT SCREAM

"JUST LIKE YOUR DEVIANART OC!"
Come one man let's be real I've seen some designs just as good if not better than the original art. Mostly from the Pokemon Fandom and Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss fandom.
Artists from THOSE fandoms are....just...on another level man.

As a human who could understand this mess of a language,
This movie has both physically and mentally damaged me.

15:47 needs to be a new meme IMMEDIATELY

Any one notice green Charizard and Dragonite 16:20

Child: "Mum can we get 'How to Train your Dragon'?"
Mum: "We already got it!"
**HTTYD at home**

HTTYD was the best franchise to ever happen to my life, In fact the Night Fury design caught my eyes so much that I made my Sona, BlueRaptor. A Night Fury. A story of loss, maturing, and letting go. HTTYD has changed my life for years to come and it's safe to say it changed the lives of others as well. There was something special about HTTYD and you could rewatch the trilogy which you'd be smiling near the end.
It is sad to see the recent series (Rescue Riders, and Nine Realms) Lose the touch of HTTYD in order to make money but that doesn't stop the 2 shows (RTTE, ROB/DOB) and 3 films from being the best of the franchise.

In the portion of the video where the background is a vertical scroll of Tiga's KRplus page, I saw in one of the thumbnails what appeared to be two _Kamen Rider_ onesies for infants. One was clearly one of the Shocker Riders while the other was Kamen Rider Stronger (I could tell by the belts). I wonder what that's all about.

Thank you for making this video, it means the film is at least documented by a popular KRplusr which means this video probably wont be lost. You might want to save it to a usb or burn it to a dvd so it's not lost if anything goes wrong.

as someone who plays d&d, you can do a lot with dragons. ripping off another movie (not even trying to hide it with the title) is not exactly using them to their potential
also, if you see ANY bots in this reply section, ignore them. they're not gonna go away & youtube's not gonna do anything about them. it's sad that it's come to this, but hey, if people will find a way to be shitty, they will do it

The audio mixing in this ripoff makes The Christmas Tree’s voice acting look like Fluttershy’s beautiful soft, quiet and cute voice

There needs to be more resources to ask for fan subs, or like fanart crossovers you suddenly come up with and need a quick drawing to get people motivated.
It's no surprise small producers try to copy successful projects from bigger studios but it's something else when they can't even be bothered to dub or sub it. Maybe that helps them fly under the radar from getting sued but I think that's just part of the game in taking a property that's "public domain" and making it look something like a popular thing but it's just different enough where lawyers will generally avoid it or you can have some deniability. I don't know if it's getting harder to make rip off bargain bin movies or people just know better when they're getting scammed.

18:47 When u chillin but you feel somthing crwling on you

The irony when foreign animation companies get sensitive about Saber's honest reviews and they try to copyright strike him, or get him banned, because they clearly don't play fair. Saberspark is almost always in another country, so many of these small companies are so sensitive that they don't like to play by their own hypocritical court rules. They know they steal and that still can't save their bad work. It's ridiculous to be expected to take down free advertising. Some people like watching dumpster fires, and their work isn't going to magically get great after being left in a vacuum either. Theres a lot of shrug energy coming from me right now. Some older animation work are gems waiting to be uncovered, but a lot of modern animation has become a cash grab based off of misleading ripoffs.

Heads up, dont buy from established titles. For one, you won't actually be a lord or lady and you can't put it on your passport. Secondly, from what I can see, it's a scam based in Hong Kong. It is apparently owned by Galton Voysey. Either way, it's not legit.

3:01 I’ve been there before with obscure lost iPad games

In addition to the Sonic music, the stuttering flatline tone immediately before it is the death sound from Half Life.

I know people always joke "it looks like playstation graphics" but if you just showed me screenshots and said it was a obscure ps1 game I would be fooled.

As someone who can understand Thai, you're not missing a lot of substance in the parts you've shown. Just a bunch of "oh, what a pretty mural!" or "what's this?" and "let me go!" and things of that nature. I haven't seen the movie, but your interpretation is probably giving this movie too much credit. 😅

16:25.... That was literally a model of Dragonite or am I seeing shit

We all see just how much of a ripoff the Toothless thing is, but oh my GOD. Even the Hiccup stand-in looks like Hiccup. He's got the same color palette and general appearance and everything.. Eeeugh.

One of my favorite viewing experiences was watching The Girl Who Lept Through Time but a Chinese bootleg. The whole movie was subbed using Google translate to the extent that the MC's name was Grand Piano.

holy- Rip off Toothless just mega evolved!
16:57

I really like seeing the real times reactions you’ve been adding from your twitch channel, Saber!

This is seriously one of the blatant ripoffs I’ve ever seen.

I’m a HUGE HTTYD fan! This is a disgrace… but I kinda wanna see a “Let’s Watch” on this 😂

Can I guess the movie plot should be it's own series lol

Heya! Thai viewer here. So TIGA is a licensing company that localize a lot of Japanese anime, TV series, documentary for Thai viewers. They’ve been active since the late 90s. So without them, Anime wouldn’t be popular in Thailand at all. They also occasionally make mockbusters back when CD and DVD exists but I’m not sure if they make those anymore these days tho
Edit: The name reads as tai-ga

Tiga: Hey, can I copy your homework?
Dreamworks: No
Tiga: Thanks man, very cool

Speaking of Dreamworks, you would think the title "How to Train Your Dragon Warrior" would be another rip-off from Kung Fu Panda.

0:20 - Aliez from Aldnoah Zero (Cover or something idk)

1:55
This is what my furies on FB looked like, change the color etc... You have an original dragon

I literally just searched up the title on Google and there's a mock buster wiki that someone made. They said they watched and translated what was being said but I can assume they watched it and tried to figure out what was going on and they came up that it's literally the same plot as the HTTYD with the toothless and hiccup dynamic, but dragons are used for a dragon warrior competition than just as a human vs dragon fight and a bootleg drago is in it to try and stop them from what I read on the wiki

We need to get a translator so that someone can reveal even more of the awful plot of the movie!😂🤣

Well, one possible reason they named him Sand is his parents were killed by Darth Vader, he discovered Vader was originally Anakin Skywalker, and he decided that naming himself Sand would make him safe from Vader.

0:16 is it just me or is this absolutely amazing

As a Thai person myself here, I didn't even know this existed, we'd really want to disown this. Sorry that this exists. It really shouldn't

HTTYD has so much rip off potential I’m not surprised there’s so many bootlegs of it

How to train your dragon warrior just reminded me of Gumball's bit with Richard watching a bootleg ripoff called 'How to Rattatwang Your Panda'

This is timely as my son has recently gotten into HTTYD lol. He's been obsessively watching the first movie and I finally got the second movie (for some reason we had the third movie but not the first or second?). So we are making our way through the movies.

I was gonna watch a DreamWorks movie, but I'll watch one of my favorite youtubers reacting to a shameless ripoff of my childhood.
Best decision I ever made today.

The Character named Sand is begging to be reworked into Anakin’s line of him not liking sand.

despite enjoying the httyd movies, as someone who read the series as a kid i have a personal vendetta against them for being NOTHING like the books, and its ubiquitous popularity making it basically impossible to find anything about the original plot and characters online. i mean, the whole point of toothless in the books is that he ISN'T a really cool, strong, rare dragon, he's a tiny common garden dragon that has to work with hiccup and use their wits to achieve their goals. Where is Alvin the Treacherous? Merciless the Green Death? hell, if they wanted to have a girl character, there's Camicazi, a viking from an all female tribe. the story was already great, and even tho the movies are too, it just makes me lose my mind that almost no one even pays attention to the books
ok sorry dsjkfhdslkj my childhood self possessed me for a second there

Man that ain’t Toothless that’s Teethless😭🖐

So the plot looks like dragons are being attacked and controlled by an evil sorcerer; a young village boy is tasked with becoming the warrior of legend who'll defeat the sorcerer with the power of dragons on his side. So he trains a dragon and goes on an adventure with his childhood friend to gain the power of dragons?

I'm Thai. I can tell you that there are a lot of mockbuster movie made by Tiga and other company. If I am remember correctly from my childhood there are also a Doremon rip-off calls Saidomon. When I am a kid I really enjoy these movie for some reason but as grow up I feel really weird now.
Damn, to know that this come from my country is really awkward

Never did I ever think I would see a Toothless ripoff that Kamehameha waves through his mouth

18:10 How bad is it that I started singing "I did it my way" at this scene ?

I’m not surprised by people making mockbusters no matter what you can’t stop them which is sad because people can’t make original ideas

You know what would have been a real boss move for this company to have done? Make the plot of this movie more in line with the plot of the book HTTYD was based off of. That would actually have been pretty neat, as the books plot is quite a bit different than the movies.

It's actually really sad that Saberspark has to watch these poorly animated and just plain garbage movies for OUR entertainment. I have respect for him

I would be shocked if How to Train Your Dragon Warrior isn't the title of a HTTYD/Kung Fu Panda crossover fic.

"I won't make you go through what me and lizzy went through"
All the people on the stream:
"And I took that personally"
