Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury is a direct-to-video winter holiday-themed computer-animated special spun off from the DreamWorks Animation movie franchise How to Train Your Dragon, directed by Tom Owens and released on DVD and Blu-ray on November 15, 2011. The special opens similarly to the first movie, with Hiccup narrating about the upcoming Snoggletog festival being one to remember now that the war between the Vikings and the dragons has ended. Hiccup is promptly woken by Toothless jumping on the roof, making sure to grab his helmet and head out flying with his friend. They practice a trick they've been working on for some time during their flight and finally pull it off, as the other villagers are putting up Snoggletog decorations with the help of the dragons. While Stoick proclaims how this'll be a wonderful Snoggletog, all the dragons in the village to hear a distant roar; the villagers witness flocks of dragons flying high past Berk. One of the village dragons makes a similar roar, at which all of Berk's dragons also take off, to the shock and confusion of the Vikings. Hiccup and Toothless are just coming back from their ride, when they fly straight into the storm of oncoming dragons, knocking off Hiccup's helmet into the ocean. Although Toothless attempts to get the helmet back, Hiccup decides it's best to return home to figure out what is going on. (more...)
