Paramount and Entertainment One’s upcoming Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is right around the corner and is primed to become a major franchise player. In a new clip released today, we see our band of adventurers, led by Chris Pine’s Bard Edgin, up against two other teams in a shifting maze of the Highsun Games. One of those teams should look extremely familiar to Dungeons and Dragons fans.
The clip shows off several classic D&D monsters, including displacer beasts and a viscous gelatinous cube, but also shows the cast of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, which ran on TV from 1983-1985. You can check out the full clip below.
The Dungeons & Dragons animated series was a co-production of Marvel Productions and TSR, with the Japanese Toei Animation. It ran on CBS for a total of twenty-seven episodes. The show centered around a group of six friends who are transported into the world of Dungeons & Dragons via an amusement park ride. The story followed the team as they tried to find a way home with the help of their guide, the mysterious Dungeon Master, while combating an evil wizard named Venger.
