This end credits signalled the end of the cartoons I'd watch on Saturday mornings and now it's a reminder that even though my childhood is over, I have a son I can relive this awesome show with.
There's something about that music. I dunno what it is. I think if I was on a peaceful exploration adventure in a fantasy world like Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, or A Song of Ice and Fire, that'd be the music that would play whenever I'd come to a particularly beautiful landscape.
best cartoon music/theme ever. All these years later it's hauntingly beautiful. Like someone else said below, it's crippling. This is the one that does it to me every time. It's like I warp back in time to 1983...
I remember sitting in front of the tv as a kid eating cereal and drinking orange juice watching this show and many others like it. ohhhhhh memories. the good old days ! !
@@louisleary7116 I looked up why they cancelled Saturday morning cartoons and it wasn't because of parents thinking they were to violent it was because of children becoming more involved in activities outside the home which led to the demise of Saturday morning cartoons. But ill always look back on Saturday mornings as a time of fun and adventure ! !
@@erikvereb9995 it was an adventure! From dungeons and dragons, thunder cats, Smurfs, G.I. Joe, He-Man, you name it! It literally made you want to be a hero! And there was actually less violence going on then. Neighborhoods were safe, and school shootings weren’t as prevalent.
A short, beautiful waltz that the kids watching the show didn't realize they were listening to! And more importantly, as the camera pans over the abandoned park at night, you realize just how much it looks like the D&D world that the kids are now living in.
Same here. Crazy to see how so many felt the same way just from the music and scenery. As a kid I always remember feeling so awful when these credits started knowing those kids were trapped and there is the amusement park, closed, nobody there and by now their families know their kids are missing. So wild seeing that so many others in the comments felt the same way as a kid hahaha
@@RichieCavsRetrocadeknow exactly how you feel. However, there was one secret revealed in one of the episodes that made me feel better as a kid - it was revealed by accident that the D&D realm has a Narnia-style time so that no matter how long they are trapped there virtually not much time will have passed in our world. 😊
@@Long-HairedLuigi Where were you when I was 9? :) I was happy to see the final episode they did online too where the kids finally did get home. That was nice.
@@RichieCavsRetrocade Well, in September of 1983 when the cartoon came out I was turning 15. ;) Yes, the radio-broadcast-style "Requiem" episode was originally an extra included in the original D&D 5-DVD box set. I never got the chance to enjoy it until about 14 years ago when I saw that it had been shared on RU-vid. ;) It felt so wonderful feeling closure for those kids after all that time. It would have been even better animated of course, but I still very very much enjoyed it. You know, for years I thought the bad guy's name was "Venture", like the arcade game? Only when I discovered "Requiem" on RU-vid did I finally realize that "Venger" was his name. ;) Oh, and during the 90s there was a small D&D handout comic flyer advertising something new (can't remember what it was) featuring a short story with the kids still in that world as adults (although of course they would have turned back to their normal ages on returning home). I still have it saved in storage somewhere.
@@Long-HairedLuigi I thought his name was Venture like the arcade game as well hahaha. I just played Venture last week for the first time in like 30 years :)
It’s absolutely perfect in every way. I am 9 years old again watching cartoons on a Saturday morning & when the last one ends ans Mr Magoo comes on it’s time to go outside and get on my bicycle and go - return home when it starts to get dark out. Very powerful 30 seconds of music there
@@kenrutherford1109 Not sure why they wont make this version a live action movie instead of the other crap they've done.Seeing Venger or Tiamat live action would be epic not to mention Warwick Davis as Dungeon Master.They really screwed up
This was so wonderful. I still find it so intriguing that they showed the theme-park (during twilight, which felt even more mysterious to me). It felt like the realm of Dungeons and Dragons, although it was not. Which always made me feel nostalgic even then, when I was a kid. Homesick, although being at home.
Yes, this ending has something weird. The face of the dragon with the incomplete track, the twilight, the attraction park empty like all the emotions are gone. And the music sort of saying goodbye/everything is gone.
The part you said of feeling nostalgic even as a kid. It is weird I felt the EXACT same looking at the visuals and the music. Music is definitely a human language of sorts
But they did! The last episode was written but never made. However some folks helped make it a reality and some of the actors even came back to do the reads. They did a storyboard version of the final episode, look it up on RU-vid. The kids finally make it home.
remember being 4 or 5 years old watching this and afterwards seeing my dad going off to work as he did nights depending on shift (he was in fire service)
I hear this music and I think of my childhood watching this show every Saturday Morning because it reminded me of the Immortal one himself.The thing is that this was produced by Cadence/Marvel Productions in which Stan Lee had a major part of. Not only this but Spider Man, Spider Man and His Amazing Friends, GI Joe, Transformers, The Incredible Hulk, Jim Henson Muppet Babies, Jem and the Holograms, RoboCop and X Men Pryde of the X men. The 1980's were awesome in animation and If it wasn't for Stan Lee and his creation and imagination. RIP to the most innovator and Creative genius in the history of Comics. I can't think of no music better for the man behind Excelsior saying, RIP to Stan Lee. Comics are never going to be the same Thank You Mr. Lee and Godspeed.
Everyone's saying how nostalgic this is for the show and their childhoods but I've watched this video so much I'm now more nostalgic for all the times I've watched it than the actual show😅
Fantastic piece. Though I never watched this series until a couple of years ago this melody brings me back to my childhood in the 80's. Also I listen to this after each of my D&D sessions end.
It's so weird how music & scenary creates certain thoughts. As a kid I didn't like this ending, but I did, but didn't as well because the music (fantastic) and showing the amusement park where they got taken to another world, is closed always made me sad thinking how they must be missed by their families and they would they ever get home. You feel silly as an adult that you thought that way, but I now find the ending 40 years later on RU-vid, you read the comments and find so many others felt the exact same way about these closing credits. So crazy how the music and scene conveyed that feeling to so many people. Wild!
After all these years i don't know why this hasn't become live action.Warwick Davis would be perfect as Dungeon Master and seeing Venger and the 3 headed dragon Tiamat on screen would be epic.I need a classic movie from my childhood in the 80's with classic villains.Transformers sucked and it definitely didn't feel like Megatron the way it did Optimus Prime.G.I. Joe sucked too and had a terrible Cobra Commander even though the sequel got him a little better
I suppose its an open secret that this mural just bleeds Disneyland. You have the Skyway Buckets running through a tunnel in the Matterhorn, the Mark Twain Riverboat, Sleeping Beauty's Castle, and the Rivers of America. Hell even the restaurant on the far right is a dead ringer for Main Street.
Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.
Been on this rock for half a century... Saying that 1970's and 1980's kids likely are the last to have a organic childhood, want out to play into the world, valuable lessons learned: *Life is not fair *the world owes you nothing *you make your own value, with hard work, the right attitude and persistence, * values, morals and ethics, * how to control your feelings and sometimes you need to accept the loss or unfair actions of others and just move on learning the lesson, * having a imagination, the possibilities of what maybe, the positive attitude, All the potential, O those days in the 1980's, coming back home when the street lights turn on, Tv for kids was so good, not like the commercialisation of >2k We made it, past the scrapes knees, bumps and such, when Xmas was the joy and the feeling with others, the community, being grateful and humble,not materialistic not being satisfied, expectations.... Kids of today ... well, I feel sorry for them, their childhood was taken from them,

I really really wish that Netflix would do an animated spinoff series of Stranger Things but set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons where Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Eleven, Jonathan, Nancy, Hopper, Joyce, Steve, Max & Robin are all magically transported together into the D&D universe and all of them gain the abilities, weapons & powers of D&D character types similar to the premise of the classic D&D animated series. Example: Mike = Paladin, Will = Wizard, Dustin = Bard, Lucas = Ranger, Steve = Barbarian, Joyce = Cleric and Hopper = Knight to name a few and even though he was sadly killed off in S#2, I'd have Bob return as The Dungeon Master who mentors the STs gang in the D&D universe same as The DM from the classic animated series. Dark Horse & IDW are indeed publishing together a special D&D-themed Stranger Things comic book later this year which should be awesome but how I would love to see a STs/D&D animated show similar to the classic D&D animated series✌😉👍
@ValiantWrestling Voltron was fantastic. She-Ra was hugely forgettable. Honestly forgot that Netflix remade it until you brought it up. What Kevin Smith did to Masters of The Universe was straight up blasphemous. The only positives were the animation, music & voice work but everything else was f'n insulting to the fans.
They made it home. There's a final episode that was written but never made cause the show got cancelled, so they finally did a storyboard reading of it using some of the original actors voices. It's really good and they make it home!
