Editorial Reviews

An enchanted roller coaster delivers six youth into the magical realm of Dungeons & Dragons. There, each of them gains magical talents and abilities, all the better to survive their time in the Realm. The bow-shooting ranger, the acrobat, the thief, the cavalier, the boy wizard and the barbarian are soon joined by a baby unicorn and tutored by the mysterious and inscrutable Dungeon Master. Opposing them is the evil sorcerer Venger, as well as various ogres, demons, bounty hunters, dragons, lizard men, skeleton warriors and more; all intent on keeping the kids from getting back home!

This review is from: Dungeons & Dragons: Beginnings (DVD)

9 episodes of D&D for $9? Do yourself a favor and fork over $5 more for the complete 27 episode version... unless your a completist, the picture disc IS different for this release (it contains the title "The Animated Series, Beginnings" and has a cool world map, a layout of the land -- Tolkien style). It does not even remotely compare to the $40 BCI edition with all of the extras; and remastered, espcially in comparison that it's missing the other 18 episodes. This introduction DVD version, played on my Blu-ray player couldn't even help color-correct this edition; parts would be 'bright' and then all of a sudden wash-out and get dull; at approximately 3 hours and 18 minutes, it felt awfully compressed. The sound is great; the packaging is ultra strange, a huge clam case that holds... one envelope.

Why are they releasing this when there's already the Complete Series out?

Honestly.

This review is from: Dungeons & Dragons: Beginnings (DVD)

This collects the first 9 episodes of the 80s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon. It is a little slow to get going but after awhile it was o.k. Has Tiamat in the picture. A group of kids go on a magical fair ride where they are transported to a differant realm and become fantasy characters: ranger, acrobat, thief, cavalier, wizard and barbarian. I thought it was o.k.
