| Blizzard Island was created many years ago by Terry Angus and his school chum/friend Stoney Ripley way back when they were grade 12 students in Nova Scotia in 1979. In 1981 Terry was hired on with Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock. In 1983 during Terry's summer hiatus from Fraggle Rock he and Stoney made a home video of their story Blizzard Island and took the idea and a home video to a producer. Andrew Cochan, Terry and Stoney, along with writer B.P. Nichol made a 6 minute video that Cochran took to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Two pilots were produced which led to a series of 12 episodes. |
| "Blizzard Island" is about two kids "Tracey and Wayne Allen" who have inherited a magic necklace from their mother, "The Necklace Of Argon" Once the center is turned The two children disappear from our world and appear in the world of Blizzard Island. Here everyone is after this necklace because of its magic powers. They learn they must deliver the necklace to a giant named Argon. The world of Blizzard Island is dying, and it's affecting our world too. They have to return the necklace in order for the giant to set things right. So with the help of Rog, the Rogaloneon sand creature they try to seek out Argon and return the necklace so that he may heal the world and make everything well again. Meanwhile, a villainous, bumbling Witch named Sidney and her uncle Eggbert,( a wizard who's been left bodyless as a result of one of Sidney's botched spells and is now a head on the wall of Sidney's lighthouse), Sidney is after the necklace for its powers. She figures that the necklace, if combined with her own powers, will make her the ultimate Witch. At the same time, another party is after the necklace. Sir Python, with the aid of his hench-cat Molcaster are after the necklace so Sir Python can return to his ancestral home. He was whisked from there by the Witch when one of her spells back fired and brought him to the island. He wants to get back home, and he knows the necklace is a transportation device. Along the way Tracey, Wayne and Rog visit many incredible places on Blizzard Island. These include The Endless Forest, The Battlefield Of The God's, The Thicket Of Night, The River Of Distant Thunder and The Well Of Dreams. (All places on a map that Tracey, Wayne and Rog discover written in Argon's indecipherable ancient script). Tracey, Wayne and Rog meet many exotic creatures. Many of them, for their own reasons, want to get their hands on the magic necklace and that creates all sorts of complications for Tracey, Wayne and Rog, the sand creature who becomes their guide. Will Tracey and Wayne Allen escape the clutches of Sidney the Witch or Sir Python the snake and be able to help Argon? And where in Blizzard Island is the great Argon anyway? |
