The All-New Super Friends Hour: Vandals (1977)

 



This is the second segment of the fifth 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 some teenage boys decide to break into their high school at night and trash the place. The Wonder Twins come to stop them. 

This is another lame Wonder Twins cartoon. Once again the message takes place over the entertainment value. The result is another cartoon that feels didactic. The dialogue once again simply preaches to us and doesn't sound like how anyone would talk. The teenagers are not characters but rather simply a way to get the message across. The action is lame and unexciting.

Yeah, this sucks.
