The Dreamstone

The Dreamstone is a British animated television series that ran for 4 series of 13 episodes each between 1990 and 1995. The original concept and artwork were created by Michael Jupp who would later create another cartoon show Bimble's Bucket. The series was animated by the FilmFair animation studio (famous for producing The Wombles, Paddington Bear, The Herbs and Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings among others ) 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. This resulted in Cookie Jar's ownership of the first two series, while a company called Dreamstone Productions Ltd. retain the ownership of the third and fourth series.

The Dreamstone is set in an alternative world called the 'Sleeping World,' and concerns itself principally with the struggle between good (personified by The Dream Maker, a Merlin-esque white magician), and evil (personified by Zordrak, Lord of Nightmares).
