Combination of the Two Themes

Test Drive

What makes their iconic theme "Test Drive" so unique?
  • John Powell's genius
  • The intricate blend of Hiccup and Toothless' themes
  • The incorporation of traditional bagpipe music to daw upon the historical traditions of Vikings
  • Brass have the melody for once, especially french horns.

John Powell utilises elements of music such as leitmotifs and traditional European instruments to assimilate the audience into the fantastical world of HTTYD and build upon Hiccup and Toothless’ relationship.
