I have on loan from my public library a 2-disk DVD set of the early Riddick movies. The first one is "Pitch Black", and on the same disk is this animated short, "Dark Fury."
As "Pitch Black" ended we saw three characters escaping from the alien planet in a small escape ship. As this animated short opens, we see the same three approaching a larger mother ship, then essentially getting captured by it. Inside they encounter characters attempting to kill them. Part of the tactic is defrosting frozen dangerous criminals to fight Riddick and the other two.
The same actors voice the three. Vin Diesel is Richard B. Riddick, Rhiana Griffith is the young girl Jack, and Keith is the Imam, Abu al- Walid.
It was pleasantly entertaining, in a "bridging" sense, for those of us who watched "Pitch Black."
SPOILERS: The three manage to escape at the end, but one of the bad guys had also managed to save himself from Riddick's killing spree, so we imagine that he will chase Riddick next in the follow-up movie, which I haven't seen yet. That is next!
