I had over 100 drawings and other things...it was the most in depth thing I had ever attempted - largely inspired by this wonderful wonderful show. Now I'm the artist-in-residence at the Troll Hole Museum, home of the Guiness world record worlds largest troll doll collection, I teach college art classes, and do a lot of freelance.

Remember seeing the pilot episode if this. The animation was very Don Bluth like. My young mind was truly impressed by the depth of the story, and how it was not wrapped up in the 30 minute time slot. Testament to the writing ad to how the story is still with me years later. Cheers, -J.O.

My fave kids show. I watched every episode when it was on TV, thinking I must've missed the initial run and wanting to see the ending. Great plots, chracters, and setting.

I loved my parents. They had a mutual joy of cartoons. As early as I can remember they greatly enjoyed cartoon specials, Saturday morning cartoons and theatrically released animated films. They would always take me to see a cartoon or inform me of a special on TV, even when I had outgrown such fare. After college i would find myself becoming more like them and enjoying cartoons again. In their 60s they were drawn to the occasional cartoon. I recalled one Thanksgiving they told me how they loved the Pirates of Dark Water. They took deep pleasure in the story and humor of the cartoon. Sadly, it ended on a cliffhanger, a common occurrence in those days. They were slightly heartbroken that they would never see Ren reclaim his throne or save the world from the Dark Water.🥺.

The budget in modern terms would be 1 mil to almost 1.6 million staggering in modern day standards. A true gem and gone before it's time.

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" was another very underrated 90s cartoon classic with a great toy line!

I thought this was a great show. The character designs were just so cool to me. I also feel like I rented the game too and enjoyed it.

Ren losing his father and Octopon to the sea was one of the most heartbreaking moments of saudade in animation of the time. I have a dissociative disorder which meant whatever I watched as a child became my reality in the moment, so it was as if it actually happened to me personally.

I remember video taping an episode when I went to take my ACT test. I was mentally wiped out afterwards, but still watched my Pirates of Darkwater. I would like to have seen this one completed.

The Genesis game is one of the great unsung treasures of the 16 bit era (look up the creepy Citadel level, with its hooded skeleton ghost and eerie music). And the show itself was really unique and creative, at least within the pilot episodes' arc. The episodes after that initial lot are heavily dumbed down and not as good. And Frank Welker's Niddler is terribly obnoxious. But the setting and world building are fantastic. They don't really make cartoons like this anymore, with strange alien fantasy worlds. I mean... there was a pistol in the show that was a lizard in a jar, and when you pulled the trigger the lizard was squeezed and a sleeping gas came out of it. At one point there was a pistol that was literally a squirtgun that fired actual dark water! I mean, come on! I'd love to see a reboot that stayed faithful to the original, darker tone of the initial episodes and expanded on the alien fantasy world building.

I always thought Pirates of Dark water and Captain Planet should have done a crossover. It was around the right time.

Although this came out when I was in my 20s, I did find it very well-done and enjoyable.

I would be terrorizing the house, playing with my toys, but when this show would come on I would sit on the carpet in front of the TV and just stare silently. Great memories.

Dude! I had all those figures and the ship. I’d forgotten all about it.

This was one of my favourite cartoons I watched as a kid. I was pretty upset when they never finished it. I think it could have been just as memorable as He-Man or Thundercats if they had followed through with it until the end, but sadly we'll never see the end of the journey. :(

I'm 37 and I still, nomen omen, treasure this series. I grew up with it and it is associated with plenty of memories I've held dear for years. And from time to time brush upon as it still rocks. Always the Quest!

It was by far my most favorite show and when I turned into an adult, I looked it up because I wanted to know how it ended... I truly hope that someone will revive this.

Some how fans need to band together and let it be known that there's a market out there for whoever brings us back our beloved Pirates of Dark Water. I don't know if the crowd fund method is worth a try. Some projects have gotten off the ground that way.

Every once in a while I will come back and look up this show, I remember it so faintly as a child but I remember I absolutely loved it lol

This brings back a lot of memories. I was one of many artists who did this animation in Fil-Cartoons, a subsidiary of Hanna-Barbera. We were doing this along with The Young Robinhood. Also being done there at the same time but I did not get to touch was the Fish Police.

This is part my favorite show!! Thank you!! I wish they finished it!!

i loved this show as a kid. i never realized it only ran for 21 episodes. that kinda makes me sad. i'd forgotten all about it and know i know i'll never be able to finish it. maybe i can forget again.

I love your channel, reminds me of my youth and the good times that came with it!

Tangentially related: I missed the final episode of Conan The Adventurer as a kid, and felt terrible about it. I never saw the series again until I decided to look for it online, just 5 or so years ago. I watched the whole thing over. Got to the end. They beat the bad guy. Whoop-de-doo. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was good to close that chapter of my life.

Not only did I love this show growing up, I even had some of the toys! Talk about a blast from the past!

I will always remember this series, not just because I loved it, but because when I was watching one episode the cable company decided to cut the service... i never watched the show again because turns out my parents decided to cancel the cable service a few days later, hahaha :')

Just discovered the channel, loving the videos and throw backs to my childhood!

As a kid I used to wait every day right after school to catch this on Cartoon Network and I miss it so much!

I grew up in Greece where this never aired, but my mother is British so my grandparents would tape various cartoons off the telly and bring them over when they visited. I only had 4 or 5 different episodes, but distinctly remember they felt VERY adult in comparison to my other favourites like ThunderCats, TMNT, Tiny Toons and Transformers, so much so that long after I stopped watching the tapes as a teenager, I still watched Pirates every now and again. Years later, when I found out on line that the show was cancelled and never had a proper conclusion, I genuinely felt disappointed.

I use to love this show as a kid, as did my friends. I was sad when it ended. Such a well written and action packed cartoon that actually got you invested in the characters. Never had the toys, so maybe that's why Hasbro dropped it. They looked at it as a toy selling business, instead of entertainment.

It's sad that this cartoon didn't go over well and got cancelled before it could be concluded. I absolutely loved this cartoon. I used to watch it every afternoon after school. It was one of my favorite cartoons on TV at the time. Whenever I start talking nostalgic shows/cartoons with anyone else of my generation though, they never remember it. I felt like I was the only person who remembered this amazing cartoon. I never knew it had a toy line though. I can't recall ever seeing any of the toys at stores.

This was the Treasure Planet of 90s animated shows.

Recently found this channel, enjoying it very much, thanks!

This was one of those mysterious shows I always wanted to watch but never knew when it was on. The toy commercials would play all the time, but the most I would ever catch was a rerun of one or two episodes. This show was really hamstrung by the era, not being able to see it in order, and probably should have started at feature length in theaters.
