TV.com summary

Conan and the Young Warriors was an animated television series which premiered in 1994. DiC Entertainment produced the show and CBS aired this series as a spin-off to the popular Conan the Adventurer animated series.

[edit] Overview

This cartoon was meant to take place after the finale of Conan the Adventurer. With Wrath-Amon vanquished and his family returned to life from living stone, he thought that his questing had finished. He soon finds that the family of one of his friends is being turned into wolves by an evil sorceress. Conan finds that he now must train three new warriors in possession of magical "star stones" to aid him in ridding the world of this sorceress and returning his friends' family back to normal. Unfortunately, the show only lasted for one season and only thirteen episodes were produced.

[edit] Characters

Conan and the Young Warriors.

Conan

Largely the same as his Conan the Adventurer counterpart (even down to the character design), Conan is charged with bringing up the three young "Chosen Ones" and keeping them safe until the time comes in which they are destined to rule over Hyboria. He is voiced by Phil Hayes.

Draegen

The oldest of the three "Chosen Ones," he grew up in Aquilonia. The star stone on his bandanna allows him to magically don a suit of invincible armor. He is voiced by Mark Hildreth.

Brynne

The middle "Chosen One" who grew up as a thief in Shadizar. Her star stone, the jewel of her ring, allows her to create illusions. She is voiced by Kelly Sheridan.

Navah

At eight years old, the youngest of the "Chosen Ones". He grew up in the Pict Eagle tribe, and the star stone in his pendant allows him to take control of animals, specifically his mongoose Tiki.

Sulinara

The evil sorceress who will stop at nothing to possess all of the star stones, and thereby keeping the "Chosen Ones" from fulfilling their destinies. She is voiced by Kathleen Barr.

Graak

The gargoyle that aids Sulinara in her attempts to steal the star stones, although he cannot touch either them or Conan's starmetal sword. He is voiced by Michael Donovan.

[edit] Links to Conan the Adventurer

Aside from Conan's character design which is a carbon copy of the original, this series has a few small links to its predecessor. Occasionally, a piece of background music mirroring the theme to Conan the Adventurer (the trumpet line) is used. Also, at one point, a character uses Zulu's trademark sign of Jhebbal Sag to summon animals to help them. Conan once seeks out a wizard he claims "Grey Wolf of Xanthus" told him about. Conan mentions that he once knew a firebird, and claims that he ate him. The fact that Conan's sword is made of metal from the stars is mentioned several times, a reference to the original series in which a major theme was that Conan's sword was made of a magical star metal.
