The Dreamstone is a British animated television series that ran for 4 series of 13 episodes each between 1990 and 1995. The original concept and artwork were created by Michael Jupp who would later create another cartoon show Bimble's Bucket. The series was produced by FilmFair as a Central production for ITV. In 1996 Filmfair was bought from the Caspian Group by the Canadian company Cinar, then it became Cookie Jar Entertainment, but then it became part of DHX Media. This resulted in DHX's ownership of the first two series, while a company called Dreamstone Productions Ltd. retain the ownership of the third and fourth series. The Dreamstone is set in an alternative world called the 'Sleeping World,' and concerns itself principally with the struggle between good, and evil.

His friend Amberley, suggested that he should be a Dream Maker, in which he was hired and shown around by the Dream Maker and his assistant, Albert. After being shown the ropes, the Dream Maker decided to showed Rufus the Dreamstone as a secret, and was promised not to tell anyone. Back in Viltheed, Sgt Blob hired Frizz and Nug for Operation Dreamstone, before getting into the latest attack vehicle, the Whirleyped. From within, they set off through the Mist of Limbo to steal the Dreamstone in the Land of Dreams. Whilst the Dream Maker was having a nap, Rufus was told to wash the Dream Bottles as his duty, but was then distracted when Amberley appeared to see how he was getting on.

Sgt Blob presents their winnings to a gleeful Zordrak, who drops the stone into the pit of his pet Frazznats to be lost forever, and turns Amberley to stone after making too much of a scene. He then releases his Argorribles into the Land Of Dreams, which is now vulnerable to their nightmares. Rufus meanwhile met up with Pildit and spent the night with the Wuts, guardians of the land, only for him to be awoken by Pildit, chasing away an argoribble. The following morning, they begin their mission. Pildit gave Rufus a magic leaf for them to fly through the Mist of Limbo to get to Viltheed, but on the way, they had to confront the Urpneys in their Whirleyped, sent by Zordrak, and armed with the Egg of Death. After losing the Whirleyped in a canyon, Pildit and Rufus were then buried in a landslide created by Zordrak's fury, who then started to celebrate, along with the Urpneys to Rufus and Pildit's defeat. Rufus survived, but is devastated at having seemingly lost Pildit in the landslide. After sneaking into Zordrak's lair, he managed to happen upon Amberley's stone body, breaking it's spell by tears of love. Now reunited, the Noops managed to retrieve the Dreamstone from the Frazznats pit. As the Noops were being chased by the Urpneys, they were then saved in a nick of time by Pildit, who had also survived the landslide.
