Galtar and the Golden Lance

"Galtar and the Golden Lance" is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera.

History

The series is about the mythical adventures of three companions; Galtar, Princess Goleeta, and her younger mind comanding brother, Zorn. Galtar, with the help of his Golden Lance, is fighting with Tormack, the tyrannical usurper of the kingdom of Bandisar who is conquering their entire world. Tormack is responsible for the death of both Galtar's parents and assassinating Goleeta/Zorn's family. Tormack among others like him, covets the power of Galtar's supernatural weapon, the Golden Lance, in order to combine it with the stolen ancient and indestructible Sacred Shield, which rightfully belongs to Goleeta/Zorn. For whoever holds both cannot be brought down in any form of combat. Also aiding Galtar and his friends is the powerful red dragon known as Raven's Claw. Further hindrances (plus comic relief) to this trio comes from inept father and son mercenaries; Rak & Tuk, who have a history of doublecrossing others at every turn, claiming that it's the only work they know.
