This is the final 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, a space scuttle accidentally destroys a space stations power systems when a landing is botched. Wonder Woman teams up with Hawkman and Hawkgirl to stop it.
This is a very fun cartoon. There may not be a supervillain here but the cartoon is still fun of superhero fun. The basic premise allows for some wonderful action scenes and a good sense of suspense. This suspense is enhanced because of how limited time the heroes have to save the day. The cartoon also takes wonderful advantage of all three heroes' abilities and technology with none of them feeling wasted. The outer space setting allows for some wonderful background art.
This is basic superhero fun at its best.
