Gift of the Night Fury (also known as Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury) is a 2011 American animated short film by DreamWorks Animation and directed by Tom Owens. It was released on November 15, 2011 on DVD and Blu-ray, along with another original animated short film Book of Dragons.[2]
Based on the 2010 film How to Train Your Dragon, in-turn loosely inspired by the 2003 novel of the same name, the short takes place in the middle of preparing for the Viking winter holiday.[3] After all dragons inexplicably fly away, the last one of them unwittingly kidnaps Hiccup. Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, T.J. Miller, Kristen Wiig, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse all reprise their roles from the original film.
