IMDb profile

The Dreamstone was a British animated television series that ran for four series of 13 episodes between 1990 and 1995. The original concept and artwork were created by Michael Jupp. The series was animated by the Filmfair animation studio (famous for producing The Wombles) as a Central production for ITV. In 1996 Filmfair was bought from the Caspian Group by the Canadian company Cinar, now known as Cookie Jar Entertainment.

The Dreamstone is set in an alternative world, and concerns itself principally with the struggle between good (personified by The Dreammaker, a Gandalf-esque white magician), and evil (personified by Zordrak, Lord of Nightmares).

Each episode had basically the same plot - Zordrak would instruct his henchmen to steal the Dreamstone, which he planned to destroy, so that nightmares would plague the sleeping world. The plan usually involved Urpgor, his right hand man and scientist inventing some means with which the Urpneys - led by Sergeant Blob, an archetypal Sergeant Major type - would cross the Mist of Limbo (a vast Purple Mist) to get to the Land Of Dreams. The plan would invariably fail, the main problem being the cowardice and incompetence of the Urpneys, who often wanted no more than to 'go home' and get some sandwiches.

The show was also notable for its musical score, which is practically unique among cartoons in that it was performed by a full-size professional orchestra, namely the London Philharmonic. The score, by Mike Batt, was heavily characterised by the use of leitmotifs and thematic variations, particularly on the two main songs used in the series, Better than a Dream (characterising the good characters) and War Song of the Urpneys (characterising the evil characters).

[edit] Principal characters

[edit] The Land Of Dreams

The Land Of Dreams is also known as the light side of the planet, and is peopled by Noops (who lived and worked like humans) and Wuts (the defenders of the land, who flew around on leaves and warded off Zordrak's evil forces with globes of light).

  • The Dream Maker - Head of the Council of Dreammakers, also known as Lord Highest, he is responsible for mixing dream bubbles and sending them out to the sleeping world through the Dreamstone. Was responsible for ejecting Zordrak from the council, and the two have been mortal enemies ever since. The relationship is possibly based on that of Gandalf and Saruman in The Lord of the Rings mythology. The Dream Maker is quite a laid back character though can be quite fearsome when facing off against Zordrak and his henchmen.
  • Albert - The Dreammaker's pet dogfish (literally). The story goes that the Dreammaker saw Albert in a dream, and liked him so much he decided to make him real. Albert swims in air rather than water and his personality is that of a loyal dog.
  • Rufus - A Noop who enjoys dreaming so much that he has vivid daydreams. Sadly because of his over-active imagination, Rufus has trouble holding a job. After being fired from the waxworks in the first episode, Amberley suggests Rufus applies to be the Dream Maker's assistant, as he is perfectly qualified for it because of his constant daydreaming. Though Rufus can let his mind wander sometimes he's a brave character and believes strongly in the friends he has. Rufus is the main protagonist of the series, and more often than not saves the day.
  • Amberley - A female Noop who is Rufus's best friend. Amberley was the one who suggested that Rufus work for the Dreammaker. For a while she worked at the bakers but it was later assumed that she, too, started working for the Dreammaker. Amberely is quite a brave character although she does have a temper. She understands Rufus's daydreaming habit and tends to stick by him in most episodes. Although never stated in the show, some fans believe that Rufus and Amberley's relationship was romantic.
  • Pildit - The leader of the Wuts and The Dreammaker's most trusted ally, he is often called upon to defend the Land of Dreams from Zordrak's forces. He and the Dreammaker are old friends and often help support each other. It is Pildit that teaches Rufus and Amberley how to use the special leaves the Wuts use to fly.
  • Wildit - Pildit's Grandmother. Well-meaning, and as handy in a fight as her grandson. She has something of a crush on the Dream Maker. She's quite an eccentric character and tends to act younger than her years. Though when trouble comes she's just as good at planning as she is at having fun.
  • Spildit - Pildit's Niece. A little girl Wut that is prone to getting herself in trouble. Spildit is very confident in her abilities - sometimes a little too confident.
  • Mr. Blossom - The Dreammaker's gardener, a wizened old Wut who constantly seems to have something to complain about.
  • Wottles - The Wottles look very similar to Wuts, only they are much smaller and have furry chests. Their job is to look after the Dream Bottle trees from underground to make sure they are healthy. Two Wottles who often join Rufus and Amberley in their adventures are called 'Hat' and 'Egg'.

[edit] The Land Of Nightmares

The Land Of Nightmares, also known as the dark side of the planet, is populated mostly by Urpneys, who basically resemble human beings except for the large bulbous nose and tails. They live in Viltheed, a tall black mountain in which resides the almost immobile Zordrak.

  • Zordrak - The Lord of Nightmares and the principal antagonist of the series. Characterised by a deep, demonic voice (provided by Gary Martin), he stands at least twenty feet high, and spends much of his time sat on his throne dispensing punishment to wayward Urpneys. He was once a Dreammaker himself, but was ejected from the council. Enraged, he transformed himself into a monster, and vowed vengeance. His fearsome appearance is a sharp contrast with the simple cartoon-like style of his Urpney henchmen.
  • Urpgor - The chief (and, it seems only) Urpney scientist. For reasons that are never explained, he has green skin, pink mohican-style hair and orange eyebrows. He habitually wears a white lab coat and 3 pairs of glasses on the end of his nose. In the fine tradition of cartoon scientists he is also completely mad and is often seen insanely bounding around, having fallen in love with his latest invention. Publicly hates the other Urpneys, and secretly covets Zordrak's throne. He is prone to make weird noises and expressions as he talks. On the whole his inventions always work but are often let down by their extreme Heath Robinson complexity and reliance on Urpney muscle power to operate them. Although he started with a minor role he quickly became a fan favourite and even had a few episodes devoted to his exploits.
  • Sergeant Blob - The military leader of the Urpneys, who is often (perhaps foolishly) entrusted with the task of stealing the Dreamstone for Zordrak. He takes over Operation Dreamstone after the former commanding officer, Captain Crigg, is fed to the Frazznats at the start of the first episode. He usually has Nug and Frizz accompany him on missions, having appointed them his 'elite squad' in the pilot episode because they were too slow to run off with the others. It is later revealed that the two are corporals, possibly having been promoted during the first series. Blob seems to suffer from malapropism, for example "sensationalise" instead of "surprise".
  • Corporal Frizz - An Urpney whose cowardice knows no bounds. Finds himself in a position of responsibility simply because he couldn't run away as fast as the others. Would much rather be at home with some sandwiches than fighting deadly Noops. He was voiced by Melvyn Hayes, who played something of a similar character in the sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum. Frizz seems to be an Urpney that appreciates the arts. A recurring device in the series was that, at the end of each episode, Frizz would speak the final lines. This occurred in every episode bar the opening 'special'. In the first season he wore glasses, but these appear less frequently in the second season, and have disappeared completely by the third season. He dislikes Urpgor more than the other Urpneys, and once tried to attack him (after meeting Urpgor's insane aunt).
  • Corporal Nug - Another Urpney who, while not as cowardly as Frizz, certainly has his moments. Seems to be far cleverer than the other Urpneys, and speaks with a thick Brummie accent. This was mainly because of the fact it is considered that Brummies aren't the most intelligent of people and Nug is found to ask the meaning of any word which comes out of Urpgors mouth one being 'unmolestored.' Nug sometimes provides good ideas, which are usually adopted by Blob and passed off as his own. Anthony Jackson provides Nug's voice.
  • Argorribles - Ghostly purple clouds which Zordrak sends out each night to deliver nightmares to the sleeping world. The power of the Dreamstone is often far too much for them and so only occasionally do they slip through. However with the power of the Nightmare stone the Argorribles are powered up and are more likely to bypass the Dreamstone's defences. They are incorporeal, although one was briefly made solid in the episode 'Horrible Argorrible'.
  • Zarag - Zordrak's sister, who was once romantically involved with the Dream Maker. Also wants the Dreamstone, but to wear in her hair rather than to unleash nightmares on the unsuspecting world.
  • Frazznats - Creatures that live in the Pit of No Return and feed on Urpneys. They resemble a cross between a shark and a Venus Flytrap, with lobster-like pincers.
  • Urpgor's Auntie - Urpgor's Auntie (her real name wasn't mentioned on the show) lives on the planet Tempest Fugit, where she has placed traps for unexpected visitors should they dare to go there. She can be just as mad as her nephew, Urpgor.

[edit] List of Episodes

The Dreamstone aired between 1990 and 1994 with a total of 52 episodes.

Season 1 (1990)

# Episode Name Description
1 The Dreamstone Zordrak sets Operation Dreamstone in motion, and the Urpneys succeed in stealing it after Rufus shows it off to Amberley.
2 Into Viltheed Rufus resolves to redeem himself by getting the Dreamstone back from Zordrak and rescuing Amberley
3 The Knitted Balloon Zordrak decides to leave his body as a mist and travels to the Land of Dreams himself. There, he possesses Amberley and steals the Dreamstone. Meanwhile, Urpgor realises that, should Zordrak fail to return in time, his body will crumble and he would be in charge; an idea he loves.
4 The Invisible Blob Urpgor invents a potion to turn the Urpneys invisible so they can enter the Dreammaker's house undetected and steal the Dreamstone.
5 The Voice Of Zordrak The Urpneys hypnotize Rufus using a medallion that plays Zordrak's controlling voice.
6 Albert Is Fishnapped Having decided that the Dreammaker's watchdog fish Albert is the main reason their attempts to steal the Dreamstone fail, Zordrak has Blob, Frizz and Nug capture him during a festival in the Noop village. Meanwhile, a heatwave engulfs the Land of Nightmares, making the ground lush and verdant.
7 The Shrinking Stone Urpgor invents a 'shrink-ray' and shrinks the Urpneys so they can sneak into the Dreammaker's house, shrink the Dreamstone and escape without being noticed.
8 Blob's Incredible Plan Blob, Frizz and Nug steal Urpgor's latest invention, the Molemobile, and travel to the Land of Dreams, in an effort to steal the Dreamstone and win Zordrak's favour over the hated Urpgor. Rufus creates a fake Dreamstone to fool the Urpneys, and allows them to escape with it.
9 Too Hot To Handle Urpgor invents some exploding candles which the Urpneys switch the real Dreammaker's candles for, in an effort to distract him as they steal the Dreamstone.
10 The Daydream Bubble As a reward for their hard work, the Dreammaker sends Rufus and Amberley into a daydream bubble, where anything they imagine can actually happen. Meanwhile, fed up with their incompetence, Zordrak punishes Blob, Frizz and Nug by firing them from a large cannon. The Urpneys land in the bubble and are carried wherever the Noops' imagination takes them. This episode is notable for showing the origin of Zordrak.
11 The Statue Collection Zordrak decides he wants to add Pildit, the leader of the Wuts, to his statue collection, and sends the Urpneys to capture him.
12 Argorrible Attack Urpgor has invented a machine to store Argorribles, and Zordrak has the Urpneys take them to the Land of Dreams and unleash them before the Dreamstone can be used against them.
13 Megattack Zordrak unleashes the full force of his Urpney hordes and Argorribles on the Land of Dreams in a last attempt to steal the Dreamstone. Urpgor converts Zordrak's throne into a flying machine so that Zordrak can also travel to the Land of Dreams.

[edit] Quotes

Urpgor: Why must I always deliver my creations into the hands of halfwits who can hardly remember their own names?

Seargent Blob: (showing a picture of the planet) Now you all know what this is...
Urpney 1: It's a hamburger!
Urpney 2: It's a football!
Urpney 3: Does it rhyme with nose?

(Urpgor has shown the Urpneys his 'masterpiece', the Egg of Death)
Urpgor: Do you like it?
Frizz: No. And I don't like you much, either.
Urpgor: Eh.. well... my master Zordrak likes me. Remember that! Just remember that!

Rufus: Do you float all the time?
Dreammaker: What? Yes, I suppose I do. Less tiring for the feet.

  • Ozzy Osbourne, Frank Bruno, and Billy Connolly provided lead vocals on The War Song of the Urpneys single and album track, although the version heard in the series was largely sung by composer Mike Batt.
  • In the UK there were a couple of videos from Video Collection International covering all of series one bar the episode Megattack; plus several releases of most (but not all of) Series 1 from Tring International.
  • Also in the UK BMG Video only released one video featuring 4 episodes of series 2.
  • In Australia it aired on ABC TV.
  • The show was also aired in Brazil. However only Series 1 and 2 were aired.
  • After it was cancelled there were 6 videos from Reel Entertainment featuring 12 episodes of series 3 released in Australia. They also had another video release, presumbily of the first 3 episodes of Series 1.
  • In Australia the episode "Wottles" was actually spelled "Woitles".
  • The TV version of Better Than A Dream contained some different lyrics to the version included on the soundtrack CD. The TV version mostily reflected Rufus' personality, with the lyrics 'I always dream myself to somewhere else each night' and 'I know I dream much more than other people do'. The soundtrack version contained 'I used to dream myself to someone else each night' and 'Until I chanced upon this road that led to you', among a few other changes that were made to the song. Mike Batt also re-recorded the chorus, used in the ending credits from Series 2 onwards.
  • Unusually for an animated show, the series makes several references to death or being killed. While no main characters ever die, the hint of death seems very real. In the first episode, Zordrak throws an Urpney to the Frazznats as punishment. Zordrak also yells 'Then Die' to Rufus and Amberley in The Dreamstone Part 2: Into Viltheed, however they didn't get killed, though in the same episode it seemed Pildit had died in a landslide caused by Zordrak, but he survived. The series toned down the hint of death more and more during the course of the series.
  • Although all the Urpneys in Viltheed are male, female Urpneys do exist, as Urpgor has both an auntie and a niece.
