Dungeons & Dragons: Animated Adventures Library Edition

Every Saturday morning in the mid-’80s, millions of children would pour themselves a bowl cereal, sit down on the couch, and tune in to the rip-roaring cartoon series Dungeons and Dragons.

Featured in this deluxe collection are three “lost” episodes from that technicolored adventure!

Once upon a time, a group of six friends hopped aboard a Dungeons & Dragons themed rollercoaster and it magically transported them to the Forgotten Realms!

When the kids arrived, they met Dungeon Master, who gifted them with enchanted items that gave them powers. Noble ranger Hank, charismatic cavalier Eric, dexterous acrobat Diana, wise magician Presto, clever thief Sheila, and brash barbarian Bobby just want to find a way back home—but instead, they always end up fighting off forces of evil or helping those in need.

And finally, set sail for the swashbuckling Sword Coast where the friends find themselves clashing with pirates!
