An excellent episode.
In this episode, Aquaman is exposed to a radioactive isotope that changes him into a prehistoric sea creature. Superman and Wonder Woman, shrink to a microscopic size and travel inside the creature to bring him back, while the rest of the Super Friends must protect themselves from this creature that once was Aquaman.
There is so much to love about this episode. The basic idea is a very fun sci-fi premise and one that is unique among Super Friends stories. Many episodes of this show center around the Super Friends fighting a giant monster, but this episode has a great twist on that idea with the monster really being Aquaman. This makes it so that our heroes want to just as much protect this creature as they want to defend themselves from it. The idea of having two of our heroes inside of the creature is also a wonderful idea. The inside of this creature is wonderfully designed. While the design is more simplistic than a lot of other settings for this show, it is still very effective and I love the use of lighting. Inside the creature Superman and Wonder Woman fight against some viruses and I love the design of these viruses. This episode also features some great action sequences and the nighttime scene with Batman and Robin trying to stop the creature after he escapes is wonderful. This is especially true as the nighttime setting provides a wonderful sense of atmosphere.
The only real problems I have with this episode is that the design of the creature is really quite bland and the humor with Gleek the Monkey again simply isn't funny.
All in all this is a delightful episode.
