    Movie review

    Night fury : I feel very excited about the movie, it's great and action Description: A rare dragon believed to be endangered, characterized by its great speed and strength in combat, in addition to its shiny black appearance that helps it camouflage itself at night Role: Toothless, the dragon that belongs to this species, forms a strong friendship with the hero Hiccup, who is the central character in the series. About the anime Dragons fight and antagonize each other, controlled by humans and controlled by most non-raging dragons, but raging ones attack humans Its positives are that it is exciting and has multiple, varied and wonderful scenes and there are exciting, dramatic and sad moments. I liked it very much. As for its negatives, it is very long and there are some bloody and boring scenes, but there are few boring moments. In my final opinion, it is very, very wonderful. I loved it.

    holiday special for fans

    It's the Snoggletog holiday in the Viking town of Berk. Their dragons suddenly leave. The only one left seems to be Toothless. Hiccup installs a new tail and Toothless also leaves. Later, Hiccup happens upon Meatlug who had been chained up by Fishlegs. Meatlug escapes and carries Hiccup to a secret volcanic island where the dragons are hatching the next generation.

    It's a perfectly good holiday special for this children's franchise. It's a continuation rather than a new chapter. There are no real drama and there is no villain or opposition in this short. It's fine for anyone who likes the movies.

    it is not the original but...

    can be a lovely Christmas movie. because it has the entire spirit of holiday, remember a splendid movie events, gives to the original few original lines and preserves its air.and atmosphere, humor, the characters are at right place. a film who has the role of gift more than second part of a real good movie. more human, in same measure nice, impressive animation and inspired lesson about life. it is short and not so great but it is touching and gives a not bad story, a frame for the source. and, more important, seems be a nest for a lot of adventures and amusing situations. it is not the original. but it can be seed for another impressive part.

    Merry Christmas Dragons

    Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury (2011) is the third short film in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise and it was a lot of fun.

    Positives for Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury (2011): I liked seeing what Christmas is like and how these characters celebrate it in this franchise. Seeing dragons go to another island to lay their eggs was nice. I also liked the exploding eggs and it got a good smile from me. And finally, the ending with Hiccup and Toothless was sweet.

    Negatives for Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury (2011): Once again, this is a short film that is meant to cash in on the success of the franchise and get something for families to watch on the holidays.

    Overall, Dragons: Gift of the Night Fury (2011) was a great holiday short film in the How to Train Your Dragon franchise and is the best short film so far.
