00:00Hey, look! The Dungeons and Dragons ride!
00:08Wow! Neat!
00:10Give me a break!
00:12I don't like this!
00:14Whoa! What's happening?
00:16Whoa!
00:18Where are we?
00:20Look out!
00:24Fear not, Ranger!
00:26Ranger!
00:28Barbarian!
00:30Magician! Thief!
00:32Cavalier!
00:34And Acrobat!
00:46Who was that?
00:48That was Venger, the force of evil!
00:50I am Dungeon Master,
00:52your guide in the realm of
00:54Dungeons and Dragons!
01:06It must be 120 degrees in the shade,
01:08and there isn't any shade.
01:10You can say that again.
01:12With four suns up there,
01:14what do you guys expect?
01:20I faced the same situation on Safari once.
01:22I was lost.
01:24The sun was baking my brains.
01:26So that's what happened to your brains.
01:28Shh!
01:30Then what'd you do, Eric?
01:32Simple. Called Dad on the walkie-talkie,
01:34and our gardener picked me up in the golf cart.
01:36In Africa?
01:38No, in my backyard.
01:40Listen, Dungeon Master told us to keep moving
01:42toward the setting suns,
01:44and that means this way.
01:46Dungeon Master?
01:48We haven't seen that bozo for two days.
01:50Why don't we go any way we want to?
01:52Okay, wise guy. Which way shall we go?
01:54Huh?
01:56I say we go...
01:58Yeah!
02:02Look!
02:04That's the biggest bug I've ever seen!
02:06You can say that again.
02:08There's no time! Run!
02:16Come on! Hurry!
02:20Faster! That scorpion's catching up!
02:22A scorpion? Catching up?
02:24Faster? Sounds like trouble!
02:26He can't!
02:36Phew! That was a close one!
02:44Quick! Get in here!
02:46That scorpion's too big to come in after us!
02:50Run!
03:20Phew!
03:22That was close!
03:28Oh!
03:30Hello?
03:32It's gone! The scorpion's gone!
03:34Look! There's a knight!
03:36He must have saved us!
03:38How can we ever thank you, sir?
03:40Thank me?
03:42For what?
03:44For driving away that giant scorpion.
03:46Oh, that!
03:48That was nothing.
03:50All in a day's work for a knight, you know.
03:52Neat!
03:54Some work!
03:56Do they have a school for that?
03:58Yeah, dummy. Knight school.
04:00Get it?
04:02Well, I best be on my way.
04:04You be careful out here.
04:06No telling what you may run into.
04:08But who are you?
04:10They call me Sir John,
04:12official protector of the village of Pindrick
04:14and battler of beasts, dragons and demons!
04:16Scorpions!
04:18Did you hear what he said?
04:20No telling what we may run into.
04:22No telling?
04:24Ah! Dungeon Master!
04:26Do you always have to do that?
04:28No, not always.
04:30Huh?
04:32I have found a possible way for you to get home,
04:34but it is very dangerous.
04:36What isn't dangerous around here?
04:38Go on, Dungeon Master.
04:40Far to the east,
04:42there is a sad and desolate land.
04:44It is known as the Valley of the Beholder.
04:46Yuck!
04:48It looks horrible!
04:50It wasn't always so.
04:52It was once the most beautiful valley in the realm.
04:54Until the Beholder came.
04:56What is a Beholder, anyway?
04:58The Beholder is a foul and evil beast
05:00who came up from the underworld
05:02and destroyed all things of beauty
05:04in the valley.
05:06Ew, gross!
05:08I can't even see all of it
05:10and I can tell it's gross.
05:12It is the Beholder who guards the passageway
05:14to your birth world.
05:16You mean we have to meet this ugly guy?
05:18Not just meet him,
05:20you must defeat him.
05:22And remember, sometimes by looking back
05:24you can see a clearer path
05:26through what lies ahead.
05:28Oh, brother, here he goes again.
05:30But beware,
05:32for only beauty can defeat
05:34the eye of the Beholder.
05:38Aw, give me a break!
05:40He's gone!
05:46What are you doing, Bobby?
05:48What Dungeon Master said,
05:50trying to look backwards to see forward.
05:54But all I see is the place
05:56where we met that night, Sir John.
05:58Yeah, well, sometimes Dungeon Master...
06:00Wait!
06:02That's it!
06:04Sir John is in our past,
06:06but he may be the key to our future.
06:08That's right! Anybody brave enough
06:10to take on that scorpion ought to have
06:12an easy time with the Beholder.
06:14Great! For once somebody else can fight
06:16the creepy slime that inhabits this world.
06:18He went this way!
06:20Let's find him.
06:22And so, Sir John,
06:24it is the decision of this council
06:26that a cowardly knight such as you
06:28offers this village no protection.
06:32But, sir, I...
06:34And it is our intention to hire a new
06:36and braver knight to replace you
06:38as soon as one can be found.
06:42Oh, Father, not again!
06:44There are no villages left for us to go to.
06:46Mr. Mayor, sir, will you not
06:48reconsider?
06:50I mean, my boy and I, it's just that we...
06:52Well, I suppose if you were to
06:54perform an act of extreme bravery
06:56finally,
06:58we might consider letting you stay.
07:00Oh, he will, Mr. Mayor, he will!
07:02Yes, I will!
07:04Be brave, that is!
07:06This is your last chance, Sir John!
07:08Your last chance!
07:10You can do it, Father!
07:12I know you can!
07:14Boy, I don't think
07:16I'll ever eat mushrooms again.
07:18I don't think you could eat these mushrooms, Eric.
07:20This place gives me goosebumps.
07:22Just stick together.
07:24Yeah, no telling what we might run into.
07:28What's that?
07:30I don't know, but it didn't sound friendly.
07:32For once, I agree with you, Uni.
07:34Presto!
07:36How about using your magic to throw a little light on the subject?
07:38Light?
07:40No problem.
07:42Piece of cake!
07:46Ew! Who are they?
07:48Not who, what are they?
07:50Well, whatever they are, the light hurts their eyes.
07:52No!
07:54It's a...
07:56Achoo!
07:58Oh, no!
08:00The light we need, it's light we'll get.
08:06It's working!
08:08I don't know how long we can hold them off.
08:10Hey, look out!
08:12Whoa!
08:14I can't believe this!
08:16We're fighting snails!
08:18Yeah, and losing!
08:20Powers that come and go in the night!
08:22Vanish these snail things from my sight!
08:24Hey!
08:26Get this thing off me!
08:28Whoa!
08:30Maybe I can let some sunshine in!
08:36Maybe I can!
08:40Uni, run!
08:42You gotta find Sir John!
08:44Quick!
08:46Whoa!
08:52Achoo!
08:58Somebody help us!
09:00Somebody help us!
09:02Help!
09:10Where do you think they're taking us?
09:12Any place they want to.
09:16Hey, all right, all right, we'll shut up.
09:18I've got to do something brave.
09:20I've got to do it for my boys.
09:22Something brave, but what?
09:24Help!
09:26Oh, it's trouble!
09:28Not yet, I'm not ready!
09:38A monster!
09:42It's you!
09:44And where are your friends?
09:48What?
09:50Me?
09:52Go with you?
09:54I have to perform a brave act.
10:00Hey, I say,
10:02come back with my torch!
10:04Don't leave me here, alone,
10:06in the dark!
10:10Hot!
10:16Hey, where am I finally?
10:24Whoa!
10:32Good girl, Uni.
10:34Look, it's Sir John.
10:36He drove away those snail things.
10:42I knew you'd come to save us, Sir John.
10:44What?
10:46Oh, yes.
10:48Here, we don't have much,
10:50but please accept this flower as a sign of our thanks.
10:54But I...
10:56Well, thank you for bestowing
10:58such a great honor on an old knight, my lady.
11:00Actually, Sir John,
11:02you saved us the trouble of coming to find you.
11:04Find me?
11:06What for?
11:08Well, we...
11:10We want you to take us to the Beholder.
11:12The Beholder?
11:14That would require great bravery.
11:16That's why we want you, Sir John.
11:18Right, you're the bravest man we've met
11:20since we've been in this world.
11:22I am?
11:24Well, of course, but...
11:26Great, then you'll do it.
11:28What?
11:30Well, but first, I'll have to go back
11:32and get my shield.
11:34Wait! Presto can conjure you up a shield.
11:38Powers of magic that come with the dawn.
11:40Make up a shield for brave Sir John.
11:42Hey, Sir John!
11:50Oh, brother.
11:52Sorry.
11:54Here you go, Sir John.
11:56Your very own shield.
11:58Well, I couldn't. That is, I mean, I...
12:00Thank you, but now
12:02will you take us to the Beholder?
12:04Please, Sir John. It's our only chance
12:06to get back to our world.
12:08What do you mean?
12:10We'll tell you on the way.
12:12Oh, very well. To the Beholder it is!
12:22Oh, Beholder indeed.
12:24I must be crazy.
12:26Nice Beholder. Here, boy.
12:28Sir John.
12:30What?
12:32I mean, what is it, my boy?
12:34Don't you think we should have a plan?
12:36A plan?
12:38Well, yes. Yes, good idea.
12:40A plan. You think of one while
12:42I scout ahead.
12:44What? You're the knight?
12:46That's stupid.
12:48Well, a plan won't do us any good
12:50if the Beholder surprises us, now will it?
12:52You make a plan
12:54and I'll make sure that it works.
12:56Yes, that it works.
12:58I think this guy's nuttier than a fruitcake.
13:02I can't face the Beholder.
13:04Yet if I don't, my boy and I will be sent away.
13:06What am I going to do?
13:08You are going to do exactly as you're told.
13:10Avenger?
13:12You will escort those children
13:14to the Beholder as they wish
13:16and then you will leave them there.
13:18What?
13:20I am a coward with those children.
13:22With the Beholder?
13:24I can't. I won't.
13:26You will, Sir John.
13:28Coward.
13:30Help me!
13:32Help me, Father!
13:38My son!
13:40When you have done as I've ordered,
13:42your son will be returned to you.
13:48Sir John, there is little time to waste.
13:52I don't care what you guys say.
13:54I think Sir John is scared.
13:56All right.
13:58I hope your plan is ready
14:00because the Beholder awaits.
14:02Let's go!
14:04All right!
14:06He doesn't sound so scared to me, Mr. Know-it-all.
14:08Well, if you ask me...
14:10We didn't, Eric. We didn't.
14:12Come on.
14:16This place is awful.
14:18I don't see how anything can live here.
14:20Nothing does.
14:22For long,
14:24the Beholder lies just beyond this passage.
14:26Well, if it's guarding the gateway home,
14:28we have to face it. Let's go.
14:30Best of luck.
14:32I must be on my way now.
14:34Hold it a minute, Sir Pal.
14:36You said you'd go with us to the Beholder.
14:38And I have.
14:40I never said I'd fight him.
14:42The rest is up to you.
14:44But Sir John, we thought...
14:46I thought you were a brave knight.
14:48Yes, I know.
14:50Yeah!
14:52Yes, I know.
14:56Come on, gang.
14:58At least he got us here.
15:02Some fearless knight.
15:04What a chicken!
15:06If he was any more chicken,
15:08he'd sprout drumsticks.
15:10What's that?
15:12That must be the Beholder.
15:20Whoa!
15:28Now what do we do?
15:30Don't panic.
15:32I can't believe you said that.
15:36This is by far
15:38the lowest deed I've ever done.
15:40What kind of knight am I?
15:42You are a coward, Sir John.
15:44As you have always been.
15:46A weakling and a fool.
15:48Venger!
15:50Soon, the Beholder will defeat the young ones.
15:52And I will have their
15:54magical weapons.
15:56But my boy, what about my boy?
15:58Your son is here.
16:02Father!
16:04Timothy!
16:06He is a brave boy.
16:08Not at all like his father.
16:14What did he mean, Father?
16:16Nothing, son. Nothing at all.
16:18Help! Help! Somebody help us!
16:20Listen, Father.
16:22Someone needs our help.
16:24Timothy, wait! Come back!
16:26Help!
16:28Whoa!
16:30I hate this world.
16:32First walking snails
16:34and now an electric octopus.
16:36Presto, can't you do anything?
16:38I can't reach my hand.
16:40Father, look. It's Sir John.
16:42I thought I smelled chicken feathers.
16:44Don't worry. Father will help you.
16:46Poor kid.
16:48This is going to be a disappointing day for him.
16:50Timothy, step back.
16:52I've got work to do.
16:54I don't believe it.
16:56Neither does the Beholder.
16:58Look. Come further.
17:00Look out.
17:08Run, Mr. John!
17:11You won't finish my first real battle
17:13this quickly, Beholder.
17:15I don't get it.
17:17How did Dungeon Master think beauty
17:19could defeat the Beholder?
17:21That's it. The flower.
17:23Sir John, the flower I gave you.
17:25Show the Beholder the flower.
17:27The flower? Where's the flower?
17:33You did it, Father. You did it.
17:35That's not all he did. Look.
17:40That's it. That's it.
17:42The doorway home.
17:44Go for it. Quickly.
17:46You haven't much time.
17:48You did it, Father. You beat the Beholder.
17:50Thank you, Sir John.
17:52Bobby, quick. The doorway's closing.
17:54What about Uni?
17:58She doesn't belong in our world.
18:00She'll have to stay with Sir John.
18:02Hurry.
18:04But I don't want to leave her here with anybody.
18:06Not even him.
18:08Hank, look.
18:10Venger.
18:12You have disobeyed me
18:14for the first and the last time, Sir John.
18:18Stay close to me, Timothy.
18:20He's using my dopey shield
18:22to fight Venger?
18:24Hank, what can we do?
18:26Boy, I can almost taste those hamburgers.
18:28Hey, what are you guys waiting for?
18:30Come on.
18:34And now to be rid of you, Sir John.
18:38What's up for all?
18:48I'm afraid that won't be so easy after all, Venger.
18:50Yeah.
18:52Watch this.
18:56This is called a rescue, Venger.
19:00A rescue?
19:02I don't believe what I'm seeing.
19:08I don't believe what I'm doing.
19:16Nice work, pal.
19:18Thanks.
19:20But now what?
19:24Wow, that was great.
19:26But how did you...
19:28I didn't.
19:30But then who did?
19:32What happened?
19:34How can we ever thank you?
19:36Whoa!
19:46Wow!
19:48Sir John, you're a hero!
19:50You beat the Beholder!
19:52Some of us thought you were scared, Sir John.
19:54All right, all right.
19:56So I was wrong.
19:58Come on, Eric. Admit it.
20:00Even you were scared.
20:02Me? Nothing doing.
20:04Don't scare me.
20:08You can say that again, Cavalier.
20:14Indeed.
20:34You
