[Partially Lost] MegaBloks "Dragons" Anthology Page

This is part of the website for MegaBloks' "Dragons" line of toys that was taken down in 2009-2010. Through the website you could look at the different dragons and sets they had, as well as watch trailers for the animated movies on which the toys were based and play some decent flash games. It was all pretty standard for a 2000s kids site. The "Anthology" page was different though; it had all this added lore about the dragons such as flight speed, behavior, etc. (a la the dragon book from "How to Train Your Dragon") and cool animations to go with it. It was fascinating and the first exposure as a kid that I ever had to the concept of worldbuilding.

I'm able to access the website and navigate through most of it using the WBM but this "Anthology" page does not load fully; the loading bar fills and then it freezes. There was a CD that would come with some of the toys that contained a stylized version of the website so I downloaded an ISO to see what I could find. Unfortunately, the "Anthology" on the CD is much more barebones and the links just redirect to the "Megabloks" website. Lastly, I tried downloading the page as an .swf file and running it through the Ruffle app to no avail.

I'm trying to access the page in a way that enables the page to load without any problems. Maybe another link or a means by which to force it to load. Any help is appreciated.

400th rewatch here, I just realized something

In this episode Hollis warns Roger and Don not to take the elevator. If Hollis didn’t shut down the lift, Don or Roger could’ve died, or worse, been hurt. This is why Roger sings “My Old Kentucky Home” at his wedding to Jane, in tribute to Hollis. It’s subtle but it really speaks to Roger’s integrity. Incredible writing, good work Matt.
