| 1 | * DirectToVideo: The film did not receive a theatrical release in Japan, and it took until mid-2015 for it to even get a [=DVD=]/Blu-ray release in the country. |
| 2 | * DVDCommentary: On the blu-ray release, with writer/director Dean [=DeBlois=], producer Bonnie Arnold, head of character animation Simon Otto and production designer Pierre-Olivier Vincent. It's the only commentary from the [=DreamWorks=]/Fox era. |
| 3 | * KidsMealToy: As they did for the first movie, UsefulNotes/McDonalds released a set of figures in their Happy Meals. This set consisted of fourteen different figures; Monstrous Nightmare, Skullcrusher, Cloudjumper, Scuttleclaw, The Terrible Terror, Bewilderbeast, Grump, Barf and Belch, Baby Scuttleclaw, Astrid, Hiccup, Toothless, and two different versions of Stormfly. |
| 4 | * NonSingingVoice: When Valka joins in Stoick's song, that's Mary Jane Wells, not Creator/CateBlanchett, even though Blanchett can actually sing pretty well as she has proven in a few interviews. |
| 5 | * PlayingAgainstType: Snarky IneffectualSympatheticVillain Eret is the complete opposite of Creator/KitHarington's [[Series/GameofThrones other major role]]. |
| 6 | * SoMyKidsCanWatch: Apparently, at least part of the reason that Cate Blanchett agreed to voice Valka was because her children loved the first movie. |
| 7 | * ThrowItIn: |
| 8 | ** While watching Stoick and [[spoiler: Valka]] argue, Gobber comments, "This is why I never got married. That and one other reason." Creator/CraigFerguson ad-libbed the second part. |
| 9 | ** Djimon Hounsou, Drago's voice actor, would do a series of vocal exercises before speaking as Drago, one of which was a loud, intimidating scream. The directors liked it so much they used it as Drago's dragon call for[[spoiler: summoning his Bewilderbeast.]] |
| 10 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/HowToTrainYourDragon Fly to this page on your dragon]]. |
| 11 | * WordOfGay: Gobber remarks during an argument between Stoick and his wife Valka "This is why I never married. This, and one other reason." It was originally a ThrowItIn moment by Gobber's voice actor Creator/CraigFerguson, but was eventually backed up by the film's openly gay director Creator/DeanDeBlois. |
