My vote for dumbest Super Friends episode of all time. Prove me wrong. (the Sinbad segment)

Had Chuck Jones been employed at Disney, or in some alternate timeline a credible Disney competitor, I think he'd have served himself well with this effort. Starts with a little bit of slapstick, I'm sure to appease audience expectations as much as anything, and then segues into a sweet, and effective, mini drama, with some rousing moments. Recommended.

Watched this for the first time on HBO Max, and they've done a great job restoring it. Fantastic colors and arresting nature scenes. The comedic timing is mostly off, however, and the main character is far too cloying. If Jones has played it straight, it could have been great. But the mouse would need to shut up. If you can see a pristine version in high definition, though, I recommend it.
