They were joined by Merlin from the King Arthur legends (although depicted as much younger than he usually is), Sinbad from the Arabian Nights stories, and an original character- Super Samurai, a teenager named Toshi, who could transform into an armored giant. He was frequently depicted as riding on the mythological winged horse, Pegasus.
TARZAN CARTOON 1970 SERIES
Another returning Filmation character was Hercules, who had previously starred on the animated series Space Sentinels. There were a total of 28 episodes of Jason of Star Command produced, with it being spun off into its own separate series after Tarazan and the Super 7 ended.Īs mentioned, Isis returned as part of The Freedom Force. Star Trek‘s James Doohan co-starred in the first season as Commander Canarvin, but he was absent from the second season, as he went to film Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Craig Littler portrayed Jason, while Sid Haig played the villain Dragos. It was a spinoff of the 1977 Filmation live-action series Space Academy. Jason of Star Command was unique in that it was live-action. Tarzan and the Super 7 is one of the most oddly titled shows ever, as “Tarzan” is listed separately from “the Super 7” however, the Tarzan cartoon is included in the “7” with six other shows.
TARZAN CARTOON 1970 PLUS
In the fall of 1978, the show was expanded to Tarzan and the Super 7, which featured both the Tarzan and Batman cartoons plus new additions– The Freedom Force, Manta and Moray, Superstretch and Microwoman, Web Woman, and Jason of Star Command. In the fall of 1977, Filmation and CBS combined these two shows as The Batman/Tarzan Adventure Hour. Ultimately, only one season of 16 episodes of The New Adventures of Batman was created, although it was rerun in subsequent seasons. He didn’t actually appear in any episodes, however.) (The Riddler did appear in the opening credits of The New Adventures of Batman, in an inverted costume– purple with green accessories, instead of green with purple accessories. Therefore, The Joker, Mister Freeze, Penguin, and Catwoman were exclusive to the Filmation/CBS series, while The Riddler and Scarecrow were part of the Legion of Doom on Super Friends. While the two main heroes could appear on both cartoons, their villains could not. This series ran concurrently with Hanna-Barbera’s Super Friends on ABC, which also featured Batman and Robin. Adam West and Burt Ward, who had played the Caped Crusaders in live-action in the 1960s, returned to voice their respective roles. In early 1977, Filmation created The New Adventures of Batman, based on the DC Comics character. More people are familiar with the chimpanzee, Cheetah, but that was a creation of the films. This animated Tarzan is actually intelligent and well-spoken and is accompanied by a monkey, N’kima.
This series is actually more faithful to Edgar Rice Burrough’s original novels than most previous adaptations.
Robert Ridgley voiced the Lord of the Jungle. Ultimately, 36 episodes were created and aired over four seasons. The solo cartoon Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle premiered on CBS Saturday mornings in the fall of 1976. But first of all, obviously based on the title, Tarzan was the main attraction on Tarzan and the Super 7.
