This is the third segment of the second episode of The All-New Super Friends Hour, unlike most other Super Friends formats, this one had hour long episodes that were made up of various shorter cartoons. The first segment would be an adventure staring two members (or three in some cases as Batman and Robin would often team with another Super Friend) of the Super Friends. The second would be a morality play staring the Wonder Twins. The third would be a typical half hour Super Friends adventure. The fourth and last segment would feature one of the main Super Friends teaming up with a special DC Comics guest star.
In this cartoon the evil space alien Viking, Mongor shrinks and traps Mid-City (where the Wonder Twins are) inside of a bottle. The Super Friends must save the day. They follow him to his home planet, which is a frozen tundra to stop him.
This is a really fun cartoon. The storyline is delightful over the top in all the best ways. This is pure corny superhero fun at its best. I love the design of the villain, which is a perfect combination of an alien and a Viking. He also feels like a real threat to our heroes and his over-the-top villainy is simply a lot of fun to watch. When we see him from the shrunken Wonder Twins point of view, he looks especially menacing. The look of his home planet is perfect. The incredible background work is wonderfully atmospheric. Not only does it capture the look of a dark frozen waste land, but there are many little touches (such as all the moons behind the characters and all the icy hills) that simply make it feel more real to us. The action scenes are a lot of fun and often very clever.
