Remember that 80s cartoon "the Visionaries"? These animated Gifs will help you!!

Here is a link to my Visionaries Cartoon animated gifs taken from the DVD. Might bring back the memories for you. One of my fav cartoons ever. The last gif you see is one of my fav scenes which involves a giant chessboard.

Never heard of this series...and I know why..It aired in 1987 only...for me if it didn't air in Germany then I never saw it. Altho it seems rather interesting with an Arthurian type theme. Im sure I would have loved this series.

I remember that show. I used to watch it a lot, though now it's pretty vague. I recall having two of the toys, also. Not a bad little cartoon.

Visionaries, knights of the magical light!

http://www.retrojunk.com/details_tvs...magical-light/

Series lasted only one season, contained 13 episodes, and some of them were some of the best written episodes of any animated series, I can list classics like "Sorcery Squared", where Cryotek goes INSANE by absorbing two totems, his and Kravexs', "Lion Hunt" where Leoric is trapped in his lion form and nearly burned by villagers, and "Honour Among Theives", probably the best next to Sorecery Squared and the opening trilogy.

Like Bucky O'Haire, the entire series was released in Region 2 DVD in the UK.

Funny, I just finished looking through my copy of that dvd yesterday. Great show sometimes and just plain boring sometimes

I know what you mean, "Dawn of the Sun Imps" is a worthless finale and one of the weakest Visionary episodes period

OMG... I can't believe it. I don't even remember the show but I had a few toys in a box long ago when I was young. I had that holographic thingy on my wand thingy that the action figure had.. I also had voltron stuff.

I sure wish we had bucky o hare on dvd here.

I've deleted some of the clips on the page and put in some new ones from the Sorcery Squared episode. Zarius Two, damn right about Dawn of the Sun Imps being weak as there were signs of the cartoon getting a bit goofy if it went on to a 2nd Season. Lets not forget about the classic ep "Trail of the three wizards" (BOGAVUS, FALKHAMA, WEEZASQUEAZA(LOL) DO THEY RING A BELL TO YOU?) The company Hasbro at that time in 87/88 cut their losses and that involved the Visionaries cartoon, along with their only modest fame.

"Sorcery Squared" was probably one of the first animated episodes to deal with schzophrenzia also, voice acting was tremendous, almost put LOR to shame.
