The Shrinking Stone is the 7th episode of the first season of The Dreamstone (and the 7th of the show overall). It first aired in the UK the 6th of November 1990.
Synopsis[]
Urpgor invents a 'shrink-ray' powered by an oar called a Shrinking Stone, in which can shrink the Urpneys so they can sneak into the Dream Maker's house, shrink the Dreamstone and escape without being noticed. However, after being chased by a hungry bird, thrown into a Dream Bottle, and been played about as Chess ornaments along the way.
After they eventually make their way to the stone, Blob succeeds in shrinking the stone, however Albert catches them and gives chase before accidentally swallowing their shrink ray, leading to a rapid fire change of size between them and Rufus. Eventually the ray is broken, leaving the miniaturized Urpneys with no choice but to surrender the stone and retreat. Urpgor creates a substitute ray, that works a little too well.
"Very funny Urpgor, very funny!!"
Trivia[]
- The Jolly Bird makes a very early cameo here.
- This episode was adapted into Issue #5 of The Dreamstone Comic Series.
- This episode marks the only case a hero refers to one of the Urpneys by their name (albeit indirectly, Pildit refering to the Urpgor piece on the Noop's chess set).
Goofs[]
- Rufus is inexplicably back to normal size after the bird scares the Urpneys back into the cottage.
