[Stephen10528]

Sinbad's cooler than Popeye.

[ukmoore]

finally i found this, thanks for the upload

[spacemouse1]

Are the singers the same ones who sang the Gilligan's Island theme ??

[Ma007rk]

He needs to work on those legs.....

[thetman102771]

damn, i remember watching (and liking) this back in the 2nd grade back in '78. it was 1 of my favorite shows. i wonder is this is available on dvd....

[emmers57]

I would watch this crap every morning before heading to the bus stop for school.

[clintonearlwalker]

@emmers57 As I was sitting here watching this I was thinking, "must be about time for the school bus".

[TheMacgrurry]

Oh my Gawd!!! i thought i had never ever seen a cartoon called Sinbad Jr. so i forever dismissed it. and by accident opening a bunch of youtube windows i got this one and immediately recognized the melody and opening. i must have watched this when i was a kid but not the actual show, just the opening over and over because i can only remember the theme. Thanks!!

[UnseenCaller]

I wonder if the same people did the Gilligans Island theme song. It sounds very similar.

[jay55also]

Are there any full episodes of Sinbad Jr. cartoon series on youtube?

[fujiwan1960]

I always loved this cartoon. Brings back alot of memories

[Raretelevisiondvds]

I have Sinbad Jr on 5-dvd set,plus Hanna Barbera World of Super Adventures Dvd set&More.Email for info.

[HarshPTHESNAKEFIST]

I have several of these episodes, but in storage on VHS tapes. When I can get them, I'll upload them.

[RightArmProductions]

I so remember this...

[Darrenov]

I knew this existed and it wasn't a dream. I've just got to find a picture of beer flavoured crisps from about 1980 and i'm done.

[jay55also]

@Darrenov You mean they made Beer flavored patatoe chips,when was this?

[jay55also]

@jay55also Potato chips,I know that's not spelled right,just looks weird.

[visor109]

Sinbad needs to work on his legs! 

[youtubeken]

@77757891 you wouldn't happen to be from Jersey?

[jvcc31]

where are the full eps in english????

[77757891]

I am 49yrs old and I remember this like it was yesterday. I just went back to my childhood sitting in front of the t.v. in the morning with a bowl of cereal.I dont know whether the cartoons or the back of the cereal box was the best. Those were the good old days=Winchel Mahoney,gigantor,hobo kelly, all hanna barbera,felix the cat,gumby,3 stooges,kimba,speed racer, even wonderama on sundays. I can go on and on. This crap these kids are lookintg at today is of no comparison!!!

[tellshiar]

I actually had a belt similiar to this as a kid and pretended to get super strong when I tightened it. Those were the days!!!

[victordemise]

They used to play this on "Wonderama" (anyone?) and yes, I too have had this song stored on my mental hard-drive for...40 years (?!). I guess it'll now take another 40+ to get it out of my head again!! (Maybe the Alzheimers will speed the process)

[fromthesidelines]

Yep, that sounds about right, Steve. I believe American-International had some reservations about the quality of Singer's episodes, and brought H-B in to fulfill the remainder of the contract.

[JEEminn3000]

The magic belt was filled with steroids.

[HangmanG]

Oh my god. This was my favorite cartoon until I was like 7 years old

[seansaccount101]

i used to dream i had a magic belt..on many occassions...lol...this is great stuff

[eltorcaza]

que grande, cuantas veces tire de mi cinturon de niño a ver si tambie era magico,gracias canal 5 de uruguay por regalarnos tantos dibujos geniales

[fjld2008]

I saw this cartoon in Guatemala by channel 11.

[isheep108]

@fjld2008 me too!!!!!! I used to love this cartoon chanel 11 was the best !

[dualqual]

I loved watching this cartoon as a kid! Thanks!

[jfab64]

Hey, I think I saw that belt advertised on an infomerical with Chuck Norris and Karina from DWTS. Yeah, pull it tight and see all the muscles develop. Only three easy payments of $29.99...

[Poltroon]

Is it just me, or did Russell Crowe - Fightin' Round The World perhaps draw a little inspiration from this?

[shelby3371]

Still got the album.I'm sorry to say it's in bad shape.Where's the episodes?Is that all there is?

[me373]

@shelby3371 Ive been wanting to hear that album again for years, your lucky to have it.

[shelby3371]

@me373 If I still had the resources to tape it for you I would.I'm sorry to say I don't.I still got the album though.The last time I listened to it was in 2002.Yes I'm still a kid at heart.

[me373]

@shelby3371 thanks for the offer, I appreciate that...maybe keep me in mind of you ever have opportunity to do so :)

[shelby3371]

@me373 O.k.I'll keep you in mind,but I warn you it'll be a long wait.

[rematpac]

The very 1st Hanna-Barbera adventure cartoon(besides perhaps Johnny Quest 1964).

[1952kid]

I just tried pulling my belt that tight , and farted ,thats all that happened.

[me373]

@1952kid LOL...you sound like you got my problem ;)

[acla9000]

I remember that!! Very cute...

[faridperez]

I dont recall if I was 4 or 5, what I DO REMEMBER is that I used to tighten my belt...hoping to get stronger!!!

[grumm70]

omg im feeling my age seeing this again

[fromthesidelines]

This was produced by Hanna-Barbera for American-International Television in 1965. About half the episodes were produced by H-B; the rest by Sam Singer's ["BUCKY & PEPITO", "COURAGEGOUS CAT & MINUTE MOUSE"] production outfit.

[SteveCarras]

@fromthesidelines

The Sam Singers were the first, around 1961-1965, with the 1961 one being the first pilot.

[TRASUPO]

That is one long gang plank,..> ..it gives our hero of the 7even seas to look at his belt pull it and presto BAngO.. grabs a yard arm swings into a TRAPEZE drop kick Awsome!..

[marioTmaggot]

I used to love singing this theme as a kid. It's been about 31 years since I have seen this.

[mookeychase0907]

OMG I havent heard this theme since about 72-73 now I'll try Hercules. Thanx muttley,by the way I love Wacky Races too(Luv muttley's laugh)

[JKSpiero]

Say... if Sinbad Jr. and Popeye challenged each other to a duel, who would win: Spinach Man or Belt Boy?

Popeye: I's ready when you are, squirt!

Sinbad: Bring it on, old man!

Salty: Oooh, I can't watch.

Olive Oyl:  Oh, me neither...

[nongthip]

"He pulls it tight with all his might..."

This is just scary. I'm 46 and remember the opening tune so well. I remember my brother and I putting on one of dad's leather belts and pull it tight then kick the crap out of each other. Every little piece of this animated opening tune is burried somewhere deep in my brain and re-experiencing it is awesome. Thanks!

[Astraldragon1]

@nongthip , I know what you mean I'm 42 and I remember this show it was allways tucked deep in the back of my mind over the yrs and I would remember the tune. I'm glad to have found it on youtube.

[nowthatsjustducky]

@Astraldragon1

This was one of my favorite cartoons back in the early 70s. I had forgotten about it completely until just this morning when I was getting dressed. I put on my belt and tightened it a little too much. What popped out of my mouth at that moment was the line, "Sinbad the Sailor! A magical belt has he..."

Thanks for posting this Muttley. 'Tis a shame that there isn't a collection of these available on Netflix. Hopefully a few episodes will at least surface here on Youtube.

[Ansaldo29]

I remember when i was a child and saw this at channel 5, in the spanish version here in Uruguay. But the music was other.

[Ansaldo29]

In this version, in spanish was only the melody...

[MrMeasurement]

The song was echoing in my ears for more than 35 years and i could not figure out what the lyrics really is. Now I see and hear it again. Thanks for posting this up.

[seansaccount101]

When I was a kid I used to dream all the time about having a magic belt XD

[reyguel]

Wow, I can't believe I'm actually seeing this . One of my favorite cartoons. I thought this was gone forever. Thanks for posting

[nurzerozetta]

HOLY CRAP I have been LOOKING for this cartoon for freaking YEARS!!! <3 DAMN, thank you!! SOO MUCH

[benthemiester]

This was the shit when I was a kid.

[runningbear27]

@benthemiester You said it!

[bigtee61]

Who did the voice of Salty in the H-B series? Was it Mel Blanc?

[jupitr2]

Yes, it was none other than Mel Blanc himself. He did character voices in several of Hanna-Barbera's cartoons including Mr. Spacely from 'The Jetsons', Barney Rubble from 'The Flintstones' and that long-tailed agent, Secret Squirrel.

[vividwatch47]

This is one of the few Hanna-Barbera cartoon series not owned entirely by them (it was coowned and distributed by American International).

[Rlotpir1972]

Around 1959-1963, H-B shows were distributed by Screen Gems/Columbia Pictures.

[vividwatch47]

Wrong! Hanna-Barbera's shows were distributed by Screen Gems from 1957 to 1965 (ironically, Screen Gems orininally the name of their animation unit). The first H.B. show distributed by Screen Gems was "Ruff 'N' Reddy", and the last was "Jonny Quest". However, Columbia did distribute H.B.'s "Loopy De Loop" theatrical cartoons (their last attempt at making theatrical cartoons before going into features.

[Astraldragon1]

Is this out on DVD? If So I haven't seen it yet.

[vividwatch47]

Don't count on it (see my comment below).

[the60sKid]

Back in the day when the hero gave an ass whipping to the bad guys in cartoons.

[esterripa]

i have the complete collection of this cartoons they are 56 episodes, i might going to post it , i just start to think in that but , does anybody think that is good idea?

[DeaconBlues007]

Forever ago, when I was a child, I LOVED the "Sinbad (jr) the Sailor" catoons. It seemed to me that I never got to watch them. Finding this on Youtube really touched a nostagic note for me. I wish so much that I could have shared these with my son when he was still young enough to enjoy them. ahhh, but time makes fools of us all! I hope you do post the Sinbad cartoons, somewhere, someone will be grateful I am sure.

[trucountryfan]

Please tell where you got this collection I am trying to get all the things I watched as a kid so my kids can watch.They love the original Hercules and H.R. Puffnstuff

[babylee59]

I would think that would be a great idea, i loved this cartoon as a child.

[pacovalls]

Yes!!!! I loved thgis cartoon when I was little.

[teclo64]

My 5 year-old son thinks he's Ben10, and I explained to him when I was his age I thought I was someone named Sinbad Jr. Glad I searched and found it so quickly on YouTube.

[funkanova365247]

They used to show this during the Bozo show in Chicago.

[mandingoviking]

THANK YOU!! I knew I wasn't crazy-over the years I have described this show to people and always got a blank stare! I used to watch it as a kid eating Freakies cereal-the memories just flood back.Please post some episodes or where the hell can I find them?!?

[Astraldragon1]

Sinbad the Sailor a magic belt has he, He pulls it tight with all his might a Mighty Sailor He'll be. A Mighty Sailor is He!!

What great memories, Great cartoon a Catchy Tune.

[jillbcousins]

I remember this from the late 60's. I absolutely NEVER thought I'd see it again. Thanks YouTube! Funny thing...Sinbad seemed so much older when I was 6 or 7!

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

I used to love this as a kid...Who remembers the Space Sentinals?...

[cfdabull]

Wow, i havent seen this since i was in nursery school in the late 70's. This cartoon kicked ass.

[DaMoTaiShi]

That kid's not sword-fighting, he's hacking lke he's using a machete

[toycoon]

They used to show Sinbad Jr. cartoons between breaks on Wonderama every Sunday morning.

[jillbcousins]

I watched Wonderama with Sonny Fox when I was a kid in Queens NY in the 60's. I totally remember the Sinbad cartoon!

[SteveCarras]

Here in California watche dit with Bob Allister. The stock cues and orchestral pop novelties intbetween skits there often appealed to me more than the aongs by the sundry guests! Sam Singer did the earlier one from 1965.

[rossiv62964]

wow. nice tune!

[steveasat2]

Funny how many episodes of Samson and Hercules I've sat through wondering "when's he gonna yank on his belt?!"

[abacab987]

this one was right up there with the wacky racers and bugs bunny - . Does anyone remember the original Harmon "Bozo the Clown" and Hobo Kelly"?

[1975tooto]

Yes Larry Harmon was the real original Bozo! He was NY based back then in the 60s! He also produced some of the made for TV Popeye cartoons. He was even a President candidate in the 80s!! Hobo Kelly was Calfifornia based so I did not get to see him.I only heard of him.Icons were these two!!

[muvmakr]

We went to the bozo show when we were kidds...H-o B-o Ke double L, Y... hobo kelly sure to make you smile! KCOP channel 13! Back in the day

[1975tooto]

Hey Muv there were so many.I lived in the NY-NJ area and we had the independent stations back then,so this is how I missed shows from other states! I do know that Beachcomer Bill was from your area and he tried to cross over into the Ny market but did not fair well. We also had the Pancake Man who did not fair to well either.They were canceled after a few months. The Pancake Man used to show these Sinbad cartoons!! He was also Otis of the Andy Griffith show!

[gspan64]

Wow! Thanks for posting this. What would I do without youtube. I thought that maybe I made up this Sinbad because I must have watched it when I was about 5-6 yrs old, too.

[Astraldragon1]

I know what you mean the Sinbad cartoon was great , the song kept going through my head once in a while thru out the years and I would think to myself was there a Sinbad cartoon or not?... I was sure there was another Sailor Cartoon aside from Popeye, but at other times I wasn't sure. was great memories

[tarprinkle]

thanks for posting! haven't seen this in AGES

[BitterCycle]

Thanks for posting this, haven't seen this since 74.

[harporocks]

When we were kids we wore out our belts,lol! Thanks for posting!

[iwasanangryyoungman]

it's STEROIDS, man....steroids!!!

[rang3r34]

WOW now this takes me WAY back! I was like,5 or 6 years old when this was being rerun on t.v.I remembered it , but only slightly. Where did you even find this?

[AarHan3]

Catchy tune! ;-)

[nnaw]

Of course the Hanna-Barbera version was far better than the el cheapo Sam Singer Sinbad Jr. cartoons!!

[1975tooto]

Yes I agree also ,even while watching these as a kid! Hann-barb did the latter cartoons!! Great Memories!!!
