Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon
 
So who else is a fan?

Poor kids, they never did get to go home.

A finale was written, just never produced. I think they made it into an audio drama though that was packaged with the DVD sets.

Yeah, I know about that, but still doesn't change that it didn't get a proper ending. Though it is not like there isn't a lot of series that ended before it's time. But I still love the series.

I liked this show as a child, I also remember waiting for more to come but it never did, shame that a finale was writtern but yet it wasn't made. I've not revisted it since watching it way back then.

Somehow this is one of those shows I never even heard of until just a few years ago when I was looking up old cartoons to buy on DVD. Still haven't seen it. It's just weird because at the time this show would have been on, I was pretty much trying to watch every single cartoon that came out, even if I had to flip channels during commercials. Must have been on at a weird time or something.

drgon78 06-29-2022 06:07 AM

I also tried watching every cartoon back in the 80's as well and I still missed some.

Yeah there's an ending to dungeons and dragons cartoon that was scripted and eventually an audio drama was done and eventually a fan animation for it.

This was before my time and first watched it a couple of years ago. It's overrated since it isn't that good if you watch it now but compared to other 80s cartoons I can see why it felt different to people. Dungeons and Dragons is still an alright show just not as memorable in 2020 as I'm sure it was in the 80s.

i watched it recently and it's fine. This "80s cartoons are actually bad" mentality needs to end. Joyless f*cks. There's worse shows from the 70s.

I think it's one of the best 80s cartoons, still holds up well today.

I only found out recently that Renault produced an advert a few years ago that was live action D&D. It looks superb and shows what could be done in the right hands!

You didn't hear of it? Wow, this was an iconic 80's cartoon! But it WAS at a very eay time slot on Saturdays, so you'd have had to get up at the crack of dawn to not miss it.

Fun fact: every one of those episodes was based on ACTUAL D&D game campaign modules! The Hall of Bones and Eye of the Beholder are two particularly nasty adventures that were used.

Yeah that commercial was awesome! And at least they finally made it home! (Sort of?)

That would explain it, I rarely got up before 9am.

Point of fact, I also only saw one (1) episode of the Ruby-Spears Superman cartoon that aired on Saturday mornings when it was on, as that had a weird time slot as well. I missed the entire series until the DVD came out in 2009 or so, so finally getting to see that was a real treat. So I even missed that one and that was a show I obviously "should" have paid more attention to.

Yet I recall seeing Jace and the Wheeled Warriors a couple of times despite retaining no memory of what the f*ck the point of that was.

drgon78 07-01-2022 05:09 AM

Since you rarely got up before 9 then yes you missed a lot of shows.

Yeah I remember that commercial, that was cool.

MsMarvelDuckie 07-04-2022 07:30 AM

Vengar appearing was the best part.... But I truly question the idea of them killing Tiamat (literal dragon GOD) THAT easily!

drgon78 09-12-2022 06:08 AM

Yeah, that is just a commercial, in the show they could barely scratch Tiamat.

IMJ 09-12-2022 10:28 AM

I liked this show as a kid, but for some reason I was only ever able to catch it now and again on Saturday mornings. I think something else was on in the time slot competing with it that I watched most of the time instead.

Sometime back I downloaded some of the 1st season intending on that wish fulfillment of getting through the series (finally) but as charming as the show is I couldn't get through the first episode at this point.

I think it's a good show, but at this point it's one of those I.P.'s that's just lost on me so it's better to let it go.

Coola Yagami 09-12-2022 01:05 PM

I own the series set, it's somewhere in this place, lol. For me the only hard part to get past are all the 'cutesy' stuff with the little dragon thing. Like a lot of shows back then just had to have some sort of dopey extra character like Orko or whoever for the comedy relief.
