Developed by the powerhouse animation crew put together by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the Dragon's Lair cartoon made many contributions to the Dragon's Lair video game saga, from naming the Dragon "Singe" to rounding out the cast with such memorable supporting players as Bertram the horse (voiced by Peter Cullen), Timothy the squire (voiced by Michael Mish) and Sir Hubert Blunt the knight. Mimicking the action of the video game, the show occasionally pauses the action and the Storyteller asks the audience which action Dirk the Daring should take next in his never-ending quest to protect the kingdom of King Ethelred and his beloved Princess Daphne.
