Dungeons & Dragons Animated Series: Requiem The Final Episode (A fan made production) Revised

It became necessary to change some music in the original video in order to avoid 3rd party monitization and ads ruining the viewing experience.
The Final episode of the 1980s Saturday morning cartoon Dungeons and Dragons. From a script written by series writer Michael Reaves. Fully animated by using original footage from the series. Dialog from the DVD radio show released in 2006 by BCI eclipse. With original cast member Katie Leigh graciously reprising her role of Shelia. Music reconstructed from the original series (with varying degrees of success) The creators of this episode are fans first, amateur animators second. There are many things I wish could have done differently in this presentation, but I am very proud of what we have accomplished and it is my hope that those who love this cartoon as much as we do will be pleased with what we have put together.

Professional Disclaimer: We have attempted to follow Michael Reaves' amazing script to the closest letter, except places that were beyond our abilities to create. His script ends at 28 minutes on an "open ending" that he was instructed to write by the producers, should the series continue to a 4th season. The extra events that occur after that are strictly my ideas (discussed with my co-creator Marshall Hubbard) on how to close out the series. With concepts and events stemming from previous stories, and in an attempt to bring a definitive closure to the story of the search for a way home.

I'm 44 and I am privileged to see the ending. I saw the beginning when it premiered in Singapore before it got pulled off the air. I saw more episodes from the Malaysian side but never expected to finally see the real ending. Thank you Zetavio Deloryan for putting this altogether.

[@gohjohan]

@Christopher Hogan , yeah, there are so many possibilities. Presto probably didn't have a family that he's close to or he probably thinks that when he becomes a full fledge wizard, he will be able to open a portal back to Earth on his own. If you have seen Brazil's Renault Kwid advertising, Presto looks like some one very familiar. He looks like Harry Potter right? We do not know Presto's real name. When I look up James Potter's date of birth and when Presto and the rest of the kids went on the Dungeons and Dragons ride, James Potter would probably be a young boy at best. So Presto could be James Potter.........

This made me tear up so much. Me and my mom loved watching D&D when I went as a kid and we’d dress up the part. I’d have my little bow and arrows and my mom dyed a sheet the same color as Shelia’s cloak. My dad would walk by when she was wearing it and standing next to her ask me where she was, I always told him I couldn’t see her she’s invisible. About 5 years after the “final” episode aired she died of a massive heart attack I just watched the true final episode and in my minds eye I was a kid again watching D&D with my mom.

We would watch each episode over and over again and never got tired of 'Caverna do Dragão' (Dragon's Cave in English, its title here). I believe it was even bigger here than it was in US (the video with the version of this dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese has more than 2 millions views.)

I can imagine Eric returning to his home life, getting back to his education, probably getting groomed for a position in his father's business, a position that he probably never wanted but it was put upon him, and now feeling miserable about it all. And deep down he is now missing the Realm. So, when Dungeon Master calls him and the other kids back, Eric exclaims "I didn't ask to come back here!" But Dungeon Master, already knowing Eric's true feelings says with a smile "Oh, but you did, Cavalier. You told me so before you returned home. I quote 'oh yeah, we don't wanna miss that'. Eric is initially annoyed, but even he can't help but grin at Dungeon Master's reply, and being back in the Realm.

Perfect. So good to be young again in the Realm.

I even listen and read the comic of the last episode Requiem, but your piece of work is what gave me the closure I truly needed. Finally I can close the book on this wonderful show and I only wish I was born earlier to see it on Saturday morning cartoons back in the day.

@@aztecolatino I keep trying to send the link but got reported for spam 🙄 so I’ll try and explain. Search for cartoon spell effects, look for the orange screen on the thumbnail and it’s the last sound around 2:33. It’s slowed down as it’s been used on other cartoons so I pitched it up an octave and added a bit of reverb and eq to clean it up and added one of the other effects that make it sound like a sweep up when she disappears. I hope that helps 👍🏾

Thank you so much for this labour of love. I enjoyed the original series immensely and it's one of the many reasons that I got into D&D in the first place. I read the script for Requiem many years later but never expected it to be animated. The circle has closed, the campaign has finished successfully.

Hans 4 minutes ago Bravo! Like many, I watched this animated series when I was a kid, and I always wanted to see the finale when they made it home. I own the Best Buy exclusive 5-disc DVD set of the animated series, and it only has an audio version of Requiem, but now I could see AND hear this well-done finale at 46 years old. Thanks loads. Bless you.

[@joaoferreira8]

I'm a man in my mid 40's and used to watch this show in my mother tongue when I was a kid, but didn't remember anything about the 3rd season (only the 2 previous ones); I think I didn't get to see any episode of the 3rd season, as I couldn't remember any. Back then I never thought humankind would create such fantastic technology like the Internet, nor that I would learn English, but here I am: just finished watching the 3 seasons in a few weeks, in English. So nostalgic and fulfilling because I saw the 3rd season and, most important, finally I saw the long sought last episode and loved it. I had felt like trapped in the realm too, without the last episode. Should I be a character of this show, I'd have stayed in the realm too, like Presto, as my real life is crap 😬😬😬!

[@robertholmes8917]

I'm similar. Mid 40's and watched the show but only now saw the last episode. This brought back memories. When life gets crap sit in peace and work out a plan to make life more like what you want.

[@ricogoldstar]

Nice making Venger the Dungeon Master's son. The episode where they almost killed Venger, Dungeon Master actually did refer to Venger as, 'My Son'. I wonder If Presto was a foster kid with no parents of his own, and maybe a nerd that was always picked on and bullied in school, it would makes sense for him to stay in the Realm. Perfect ending, especially Bobby, with the locket, fulfilling Terry's dream to come true.

[@TheKnightOfSmite]

Yeah Presto staying behind would have required a massive commit on his part, I think it was implied from this he has no parents/parental figures that loved him. Coincidentally it makes you think that's why he retreats to nerdy activities and study as a means to escape/get out of it. IRL I know many people that used D&D as means of escape from everyday life/big problems as well which I think this was hinting towards. That Dungeon Master essentially gave him another better path like his escapism he took it and maybe good Venger is now the parent he never had (with Dungeon Master being a grandfather he never had). Just my $2

This is something that the devotee's of the cartoon series will be glad has finally seen the light of day as it has explained so many of the storylines behind the preceeding episodes, the decision to cancel this show before Requiem was made has to be one of the most bizarre in all of Television history.

Not really bizarre, it probably wasnt profitable to produce so they cut costs, there wasnt a demand at all for it until 30 years later.

@@xLordOfNothingx I think the pressure groups scared the network more than anything into cancellation, the fact that the show went against what was seen as the social conventions of the time did not help and the allegations of demons leading teenagers into devil worship is laughable. Maybe if the people behind the scare tactics had actually watched it and understood that by the use of teamwork did the young pupils defeat Venger then maybe they might have understood what the show was trying to set an example of

Ryan, I wish you were a television script writer. You're brilliant at this.

Completing the Varla and Terry storylines. Solving the Uni problem. Adding those specific quotes from Dungeon Master at 24:03. The way you saved Hank from falling into the abyss. Even giving the Hank and Sheila shippers the closure they needed. Bravo.
