This is the first segment of the seventh 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, Wonder Woman and Aquaman team up to stop an evil villain known as the Enforcer, who has taken over a hidden civilization.
This is delightful superhero adventure. The hidden civilization our heroes try to save has a wonderful design. This design mixes an ancient Aztec look with a futuristic sci-fi feel. This gives the segment a very atmospheric feel that helps it stand out. The background art here is simply beautiful to look at. A lot of work went into this background art and the attention to detail is simply amazing. The Enforcer himself has a wonderful design and a delightfully menacing voice.
The main action scene is exciting but too brief. There is a lot of fun to be had in this action scene, but the briefness makes the battle seem too easy for our heroes. This is one of the few Super Friends segments where the short length doesn't quite work.
Superman, Batman and Robin all have small cameos in this cartoon.
This is pure delightful superhero fun.
