Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon
So who else is a fan?
Poor kids, they never did get to go home. |

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.
|
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 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?) |

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

Yeah I remember that commercial, that was cool.
|
Vengar appearing was the best part.... But I truly question the idea of them killing Tiamat (literal dragon GOD) THAT easily!
|
Yeah, that is just a commercial, in the show they could barely scratch Tiamat.
|
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. |
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.
