This is the final segment of the third 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 scientist invents a time machine and accidentally finds himself trapped 2000 years in the future. Superman, Hawkman and Hawkgirl team up to save him.
This is a very fun cartoon. The storyline is a delightful one. Our heroes trying to save the professor from the danger he finds himself in allows for a good sense of suspense, especially since they only have a limited amount of time to save him. This cartoon also benefits from some wonderful artwork. From the backgrounds to the various alien creatures, the design work is wonderful. This cartoon is simply wonderful to look at. The artwork is always great in Hanna-Barbera cartoons of this time period, but the artwork in this cartoon really stands out as especially good. There is a wonderful sense of atmosphere here and that is one of the most important aspects of any sci-fi story.
This is simply a very fun sci-fi adventure.
