The Pirates of Dark Water is a fantasy animated series produced by
Hanna-Barbera and Turner Entertainment in the early 1990s. Using a
detailed, realistic form of animation, it followed a group of adventurers
on a quest to collect the Thirteen Treasures of Rule, which possessed the
combined power to stop an evil substance known as "Dark Water" from
consuming the alien world of Mer.
The show first premiered in syndication in early 1991 as a five-part
mini-series titled Dark Water. Following a number of animation tweaks and
other changes by Hanna-Barbera, those episodes were rebroadcast later in
1991 as the first five episodes of the regular series. Most notably, the
original mini-series featured the voice of Roddy McDowall as Niddler,
whereas in the revised version, the character was voiced by Frank Welker.
The first season aired on ABC, while the second season aired in syndication
as part of The Funtastic World
