No ending for 40 years; discover what theories were created by fans to try to end the ‘Dragon’s Cave’ universe on TV
Did you know that the animation “Dragon’s Cave” will finally have an ending? The animated series launched in 1985 had 27 episodes, but the plot that was supposed to end the adventure of Eric, Bobby, Presto, Hank, Diana and Sheila in the Kingdom, was never taken off the ground — at least not until now, because Young Nerd and Azaghalthe creators of the Jovem Nerd portal, confirmed that the cartoon will officially end through a partnership with Ogilvy Brasil and Hasbro, where a chapter will be created in Stop Motion by the Os Bonequinhos studio; remember the trailer:
The duo also ensured that the voice actors Marlene Costa (Sheila), Mario Jorge (Eric), Monica Rossi (Diana), Ricardo Schnetzer (Hank) and Nizo Netto (Mago Presto) will return to the studio to voice the characters, while Pedro Alcantara and Miguel Rosenberg are the new choices to voice Bobby and the Master of Wizards respectively. There is no announced release date.
Even though the news warmed the hearts of those who always dreamed of seeing what happens to the group that ended up in this world called the Kingdom through a magical portal found by chance in an amusement park ride, it took 40 years to that the opportunity to put an end to the story arose.
As a result, the last few decades have been filled with discussions between fans on forums and fandoms, since, without answers to what happened to the sextet that was guided by the Master of Mages, several theories were created to try to explain which events would end the plot; Check out 5 of them below:
1. The story takes place in hell
Perhaps the most popular “Dragon’s Den” theory is that everything shown on screen actually takes place in hell. This is because it is believed that the children did not go through a portal to a different reality, but rather, they went to the post-death place when they suffered an accident on the amusement park’s roller coaster and, instead of heaven, they went to hell, because, for some unspecified reason, they were not ‘good boys’.
2. Angel and demon
With the story set in hell, there are two possibilities for who the Master Wizard and the Avenger really were. One of them explains that the first would be an angel who came down from the heavens to try to take children to heaven, while the other would be the Devil incarnate. The latter argues that the two were the same person, the devil, and that he assumed both forms to have fun while testing the children, as explained by the Rolling Stone Brasil portal.
3. Was Unicorn Uni a villain?
Continuing the narrative in the underground location inhabited by the dead, it is also assumed that the Unicorn Uni was also one of the villains of the plot, acting in disagreement with the Angel/Master of Magicians.
This is because, by pretending that she could help them return home, Uni deceived the children and hindered the progress they had made, preventing them from leaving there.
4. It was all just a game
The animation is an adaptation of the universe of the 1970s role-playing game “Dungeons & Dragons”, which raised the suspicion that all the adventures are, in fact, the result of children’s imagination as they have fun with this game format. whose main characteristic is that players interpret characters and create a collaborative narrative.
This way, the end of the animated series would clarify that everything was just a game showing the children finished playing and returning home.
5. Legal complications?
Finally, there is the theory that the finale never came to an end due to possible legal complications faced by CBS, the producer, which had been sued by parents who claimed that the animation had influenced their children’s deaths. As a result, the broadcaster would have chosen to interrupt the program.
