Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the few Saturday morning cartoons that actually show characters dying. In the episode "Break Up", Ioz and Tula are fleeing from the guards during a revolt on Pandawa, as one of the guards falls into the water where Dark Water engulfs him. In the episode "A Drop of Darkness" the old woman Cray tries to make a youth potion. It doesn't turn out well and instead ages her to the point where she becomes so old she dies.
- Quotes
Tula: [about the future monkeybird queen, who's newly hatched] Awww! Isn't she cute, Ioz?
Ioz: [Leans in to take a closer look at the baby, just to get his hair pulled] Oh! Charming! Just like Niddler!
Niddler: [With the most exited voice] Really? Do you really think I resemble royalty?
Ioz: No, monkeybird. But you're a royal pain!
- Alternate versionsThe first five episodes were originally aired in 1991 as the mini-series "Dark Water". The voice of the character Niddler the Monkey-bird was played by Roddy McDowall. After this became a TV series, when the first 5 episodes were rerun, the voice of Niddler was redubbed by Frank Welker and other editing changes were made.

Featured review
Great show, a bit corny, but a good plot that never gets resolved.
This was a great show!!
On first glance, it may seem a bit dorky and juvenile.
However, if one actually watches all the episodes in order, they have a good story to tell.
If you can ignore the blatant morality imposed on all American cartoons [can never kill the bad guy, even if he just tried to kill you for the 10th time], then this is a REALLY good cartoon. Serialized and everything.
The story continues from one episode to the next, yet abruptly stops without any conclusion. That is a real letdown and disappointment. Even Cartoon Network has commented on this in a humour commercial.
