Wildfire | comment |
Wildfire was a 1986 cartoon by Hanna-Barbera, airing on CBS.In the magical land of Dar-Shan, the beloved Queen Sarana dies under mysterious circumstances. Wildfire (John Vernon), a magical talking horse, escapes with the infant Princess Sara to Montana. When she turns 13, he comes back for her and they attempt to save Dar-Shan from the evil Lady Diabolyn, Queen Sarana's stepsister, and her Spectres. Sara herself has no magical abilities, and usually succeeds by her wits and with the (sometimes dubious) assistance of a sorcerer, his apprentice, and an orphaned colt. | |

Wildfire / int_258a59e9 | comment |
Our Centaurs Are Different: Sometimes you see centaurs... but in this show, you get one where the top half is some kind of cat abomination. Sometimes the monster-of-week designers at Hanna-Barbera went nuts; this is one of those instances. | |

Manipulative Bastard | |
Wildfire / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: For a petty creature whose main (if not only) goal is making people unhappy and has no use for the gains from the people who fail to learn his name, that troll has shades of this trope. For example, one of his adversaries was a wizard who took in the bet to gain more power. The wizard won, but became Lonely at the Top. | |

Wildfire / int_a9de87d2 | comment |
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: In the real world, Sarah's adoptive father, John Cavanaugh, is an ordinary, somewhat prosaic human, to whom Sarah sometimes has trouble explaining her strange absences. In fact, he can't remember their past life in Dar-Shan, where he was her real father, the handsome Prince Cavan of the prior generation's fairy tale. However, in one episode when Sara gets into such trouble that she can't be rescued any other way, Wildfire temporarily abates the amnesia to bring her father back to save her — at which point it is revealed just why he was such a hero. | |
