Yeah, He did have the crown! lol, Also he sounded funny when he was chasing you, grunting and laughing!  

His grunting and laughing makes him sound very malevolent. You can tell that he really wants to kill Dirk.

I remember seeing that pic in a magazine, I think it was EGM, back in the early 2000's. I was so excited, thinking that a Dragon's Lair animated movie was finally going to be released.

"I recently acquired a VHS tape that was given from Don Bluth to Gary Gygax (the president of TSR -the company that created the role playing game, Dungeons & Dragons). It was given to Mr. Gygax in 1984 and they are now liquidating his estate.

The tape consists of the attract mode and full games for Dragons lair, Space Ace and Dragons Lair 2 (although DL 2 is unfinished and it plays to opera style/classical music instead of dialogue with intermittent black and white full motion sketches).

At the end of the tape there is an 8 minute segment with storyboards, professional narration and music for the full length movie they had planned entitled "Dragon Lair The Legend". Truly amazing!

The story consists of how Dirk and Daphne met in addition to Mordrocs's origins as well as his transformation into Strun (Dirk's warrior nemesis) as well as Singe . The artwork is very definitely Bluth and I can't tell, but the narrator sounds a lot like the narrator for the games. The story appears to be a conglomeration of DL, DL2 and Sea Beast. It appears to be about 90% complete so it ends right before Dirk slays the dragon. I assume it was never finished.

To date, these storyboards and the accompanying story from 1984 have not surfaced and as far as I'm aware, Don Bluth had misplaced them. Bluth did create all new paper storyboards for their planned movie in the early 2000's which he unveiled at CGE 2001"

Now watch the VHS rip right here!

Oh, man! I would love to watch that video but it says that "This video is private." Is there any other way I can watch it? Thanks!
