I remeber the cartoon from the 80's when it was on TV and recently bought the whole box set for my son who is obsessed with dragons. I use to love this cartoon as a child and re watching this box set with my son I still thing it is great as does he.
The cartoon is set in the realm of Dungeons and Dragons, a place where a group of children end up after taking a ride at a fair. Once in the realm they are faced with good and evil and a battle to get home. Each episode is about them trying to return home. The good in the realm is the Dungeon master who gives each of the children a magic weapon, and guides them through them realm with riddles. the weapons he gives them is Ranger gets a bow Cavalier - a shield Thief - an invisible cloak Magician - a magic hat Acrobat - a staff and barbarian a club. They are also joined by a baby unicorn called uni. The evil in the realm is Venger who is constantly trying to capture there weapons and prevent them from returning home. He rides a black flying horse, and the only being he is scared of is a three headed dragon. Through there quests to return home they meet others who live in the realm, such as the cloud bears and many more.
The action is thick and fast and the animation is good especially considering the age. It is a timeless story of good and evil, fun and enjoyable to watch. It could be a little scary for the younger children as Venger is a scary character,as are the dragons that appear in it. Well worth watching.
