I'm glad they left the commercials in. Really great stuff.

There were a few clunkers, but this was actually a pretty good series.

Also, A ZILLION STARS FOR CAPTAIN KANGAROO!

CBS Storybreak and it's heroic theme will always get 5 stars.

Also what the hell is he trying to teach the dragon at 12:40?

Jim Henson's Heavy Metal Babies.

A world where slavery still exists! My kind of world!

But slavery DOES still exist.... does that mean that dragons are being raised on Earth?

This was my favorite of the whole Storybreak series when I was a kid. It's still pretty neat, especially when you consider what passed for Saturday morning cartoons.

Jane Yolen's done a lot of interesting stuff. She even wrote a fourth book in the Pit Dragon series a few years ago.

And hey, Michael Reaves adapted it! He shows up everywhere in '80s cartoons!

I listened to this on the radio as I could get WJKW (CBS) in Cleveland. My parents were douches and had that anti-tv crap going. Actually seeing it was a horrible let down to the images I had formed in my mind.
