The New Animated Adventures of Flash Gordon
The Greatest Adventure of All
Specials Episode 1
August 21, 1982 30m TV-PG
This is the original project produced as a made-for-television feature film with the Hitler subplot restored. It opens in Poland, with Nazi bombs falling. Flash is given a message for Dr. Zarkov. Reporter Dale Arden is also looking for Zarkov, to interview him for her newspaper. Next, their plane crashes and they join Zarkov on his rocket ship to Mongo, where dinosaurs threaten them. Then they are captured by Beastmen. This is followed by a confrontation with Ming, and their first meeting with Thun the Lionman and Ming's daughter Aura. Next, in a sequence not from the strip, Flash is made a slave in the mines. They escape, and, as in the strip, meet Prince Barin of the Forest Kingdom and Vultan, King of the Hawkmen. The fall of Vultan's sky city leads to a final battle with Ming.
