SINBAD JR. AND HIS MAGIC BELT Cartoon Intro

[samuraix73]

I remember our local station in Trinidad used to have this version back in the early 70's (I was born in '73). This truly brings back memories of me trying to tighten my belt to see if I would instantly get muscles. Ahhhh, impressionable youth.

LOVE the HB ones. Groovy theme.

As far as the whole saga of the HB & Singer eps, fromthesidelines is on the mark. IF you want to read (not much) more, go to Wikipedia.

Tim Matheson, as previously mentioned, was the voice of Sinbad - he also voiced Jonny Quest.

The HB episodes of Sinbad Jr. were better than the Singer episodes, in scripts, voices, music, animation... Sinbad fought such villains as Blubbo (sort of a Bluto ripoff) and Dr. Rotcoddam ("that's mad doctor spelled backwards," Sinbad helpfully told us).

Prefer the HB hip swingin' theme.

Tightening one's belt....what prophetic advice for these hard times!!! But Sinbad Jr.'s incredible musculature can only be attributed to - STEROIDS!!!

[SeaJay3]

Boy do I remember this. Right up there with the Mighty Hercules. I'm glad that I grew up when I did. Cartoons today suck.

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, Tim MATHESON (I sometimes get him mixed up with "Thomerson", sorry about that!).

[blackmagno]

[fromthesidelines]

This was a 1965-'66 syndicated cartoon series, with animation co-produced by TWO studios: Hanna-Barbera (who created the best episodes) and Sam Singer's production outfit (the cheaper of the two, from the people who previously produced "BUCKY & PEPITO" and "COURAGEOUS CAT & MINUTE MOUSE"). The theme song and voices were different in each version....Tim Thomerson and Mel Blanc were the lead voices in the H-B version.

I remembered this back in the late 60's.

[theshadow1932]

@Jiltedin2007 Yeah, me too. My God. It's hard to believe that we Americans ever made movies featuring arabs as heroes, before we learned how they really are. What a strange, naive time. We've certainly come a long way.

[Jiltedin2007]

@theshadow1932 Yeah, no kidding. Hanna Barbrea has got to be the Best Cartoon Production ever in the History of Cartoon. The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Super Friends and so on. Did he also do Yogi Bear and Snagglepuss? Ah yes, the good old days!

[gerryu21220]

This is not the opening I remember... The music wasn't this jazzy version.

[MaghoxFr]

@gerryu21220 yeah, it wasn't this big band version, this sounds like Top Cat

[MaghoxFr]

@gerryu21220 the first one is the one I'm talking about!

[christofra]

I used to watch it in the early to mid 80's on USA cartoon express

[ZOOSHA3]

Holy crap man, found this just by chance. Any idea when this was done?

[Carycomic]

Back in the mid-late 1960's. It must have been syndicated, too. Because, it never came on Saturday mornings, in my neck of the woods. It was only shown on a M-F kids' show called "Mr. Goober!"
