This Hanna-Barbera version of "The Arabian Nights" goes to great pains not to offend any pressure or minority group--so much so that one suspects its political correctness was actually a gag. At any rate, such familiar Hanna-Barbera stars as Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, Magilla Gorilla, Scooby Doo and Shaggy are featured in a trilogy of familiar-looking stories. Episode one, "Alliyah-Din and His Magic Lamp", features Yogi and Boo Boo as genies and a female version of Alladin; episode two, "Sinbad", is a freewheeling spoof of both the original story and of Hanna-Barbera's rival Disney studios, built around the antics of Magilla Gorilla in the title role; and the closing segment, "Scheherezade", finds Scooby and (especially) Shaggy forsaking the solving of mysteries so that they'll have time to spin tales for a cranky caliph. The 90-minute Arabian Nights originally aired September 3, 1994, on the TBS superstation. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Julian Sands oozes maleficence as a warlock of the 1600s cast forth to 1980s Los Angeles, where he continues to work his deviltry. The story begins in 1691 Boston when a warlock is condemned to die. Calling for Satan's help, the warlock is sent forward in time to contemporary Los Angeles, where he comes crashing through the window of Kassandra (Lori Singer) and her roommate Chas (Kevin O' Brien), who think that the warlock is a LA drunk and let him stay the night to sleep it off. The next day, the warlock brutally murders Chas and then locates a spiritualist (Mary Woronov) who, possessed by the devil, tells the warlock that he must find the three parts of the Grand Grimoire, the witches' bible that contains the secret name of God. Meanwhile, Kassandra, grieving over the death of Chas, comes upon Giles Redferne (Richard E. Grant), a warlock hunter from the 16th century, sent into the future to find the warlock. While Giles is busily putting together a "witch-compass" to track the warlock, Kassandra calls the police and has him arrested. But then the warlock returns and puts a curse on Kassandra. She blacks out, only to awaken the next morning to discover that she has aged twenty years. Realizing she has put the wrong representative from the 16th century in jail, she bails out Giles and they both go in search of the warlock. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

This made-for-TV animated feature stars only two regular members of the Mystery Machine gang: Scooby Doo and Shaggy (although Scrappy, a late addition to the series, is also present). In place of Freddy, Velma, and Daphne, we have Googie, Shaggy's girl friend. It seems that Shaggy and company are now involved in race car driving. By coincidence, in far-off Transylvania, Count Dracula is getting ready for the annual Monster Car Race -- a race that features such familiar faces as Frankenstein's Monster and his bride, the Mummy, Genghis Kong, and a pair of witches. Normally, the Werewolf is a part of the race, but he has fled this year and nothing Dracula can do will bring him back. As he desperately needs a werewolf for the race, Dracula sends the Hunch Bunch -- a pair of deformed brothers -- to America, where they transform Shaggy into a werewolf. Dracula tells Shaggy that he will take the spell off of him and return him to normal -- but only if he wins the Monster Car Race. That turns out to be easier said than done, especially since Dracula does everything in his power to see that Shaggy will lose and remain a werewolf forever. ~ Craig Butler, All Movie Guide

Dr. Quest is invited to the London museum, there to determine the origins of a mysterious crystal skull. Unfortunately, an ancient Druidic cult is also interested in the skull -- so much so that they're willing to kill in order to steal the artifact. It is up to the Quest team to prevent the cult from unleashing the skull's awesome and horrifying powers upon the modern world. "Skullduggery" made its syndicated TV bow on March 1, 1987, as part of the weekend "Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera" package. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Columbia Pictures spent as estimated $8 million dollars on this laughless sex comedy that crashes and burns before ever leaving the ground. Two bumbling boneheads who are kicked out of flying school decide to remain airborne by becoming stewardesses. Bathroom humor, sight gags, and the prerequisite nudity are the lowlights of this forgettable film. The only interest is the appearance of former Playboy bunny Yuliis Ruval. This dog makes Porky's seem like Shakespeare. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

A UFO attacks Dr. Quest's lab, taking Jonny and Hadji captive. The boys will be returned only if Dr. Quest reveals the plans of his new aircraft. Ostensibly, the aliens want to use the invention to disable the Earth's space programs -- but Quest and Race Bannon suspect that the villains are of human origin. First syndicated on September 28, 1986, as part of the "Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera" weekend package, "Aliens Among Us" was later incorporated into the standard Jonny Quest manifest, along with the "classic" episodes from 1964-1965. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Twenty-one years after ending its original ABC prime-time run, the Hanna Barbera animated adventure series Jonny Quest was revived with 13 brand-new episodes as part of the weekend syndicated package "Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera." Telecast in most markets on September 14, 1986, the first of the "new" Jonny Quest (1986 series) installments to be shown (thought not the first one produced) was titled "Peril of the Reptilian." On this occasion, the Quest team -- Dr. Benton Quest, his son Jonny, bodyguard Race Bannon, youthful Indian mystic Hadji, and mischievous dog Bandit -- are asked to help prevent a genetically created reptile man, designed to be the perfect "fighting machine," from running amok and destroying the earth. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Twenty-one years after ending its original ABC prime-time run in 1965, the Hanna Barbera animated adventure series Jonny Quest was revived with 13 brand-new episodes as a component of the weekend syndicated package "Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera." All of the original characters were revived: globetrotting research scientist, Dr. Benton Quest; his tousled-haired son, Jonny; Jonny's bodyguard-tutor, Race Bannon; his mystical young Indian friend, Hadji; and the pet bulldog, Bandit. Of the original voice actors, only Don Messick (as Dr. Quest and Bandit) and Victor Perrin (as perennial villain Dr. Zin) were heard on the later series. In the sixth of the "new" episodes, another member of the Quest team was introduced, a "Monolith Man" named Hardrok. Slightly better animated than the original -- and with markedly wittier dialogue as well as a refreshing increase in its sci-fi-fantasy content -- the Jonny Quest (1986 series) was later incorporated in the same package as the 26 "original" Jonny Quest episodes. Under the blanket title "Classic Jonny Quest," this manifest was seen on cable's Cartoon Network from 1992 to 1995. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Called in to investigate, Dr. Quest and his associates find an the remnants of an alien civilization which was buried in volcanic ash thousands of years before. Rescuing the heroes from hostile natives is an "intellectual fossil" named Hardrok, who, despite having been petrified for centuries, is extremely strong and resourceful. This episode originally aired on November 2, 1986, as part of the weekend "Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera" syndicated package. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Dr. Quest leads his team to Scandanavia, there to embark upon an archeological expedition. In the course of events, the team comes across the frozen body of a huge Viking ape, who, when thawed, turns out to be very much alive. The furry orange beast turns out to be a likeable fellow, and as a result, the Quest Team pulls a "reverse King Kong", rescuing Vikong from hostile villagers and mercenary carnival hucksters. "Vikong Lives" originally aired on October 19, 1986, as part of the weekend syndicated series "Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera," before it was incorporated into the standard Jonny Quest rerun package. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Quest team heads to North Atlantic, in search of German submarine which vanished during WWII. Upon reaching the sub, the team accidentally triggers a time-travel device, transporting them all back to 1945. Even worse, the heroes must contend with some very live Nazis -- not to mention the unexpected arrival of a pack of pygmies, very much like those seen in the 1965 Jonny Quest episode "A Small Matter of Pygmies." "40 Fathoms Into Yesterday" originally aired as part of the syndicated "Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera" package on October 12, 1986. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Kidnapping Jessie Bradshaw, the daughter of a prominent rocket scientist, Zin hopes to use the girl as a bargaining chip in his efforts to seize control of her father's rocket-brain technology. The plucky Jessie manages to escape, ending up in the protection of Dr. Quest and his son Jonny -- who soon begins to wonder why the resourceful girl would ever need anyone's protection.

Dr. Quest's latest invention is a computer brain which can pilot aircraft faster and safer than any mere mortal. Unhappy that the invention will put a lot of good pilots out of work, Quest's associate, Race Bannon, tries to prove that the brain is not infallible by racing a computerized plane. Alas, he is captured by a mad aviator named Skyborg, who holds Race responsible for the accident which left him horribly disfigured. Seeking revenge, Skyborg intends to steal the brain and auction it to the highest bidder. The climax of this episode, an old-fashioned aerial dogfight, is reminiscent of the 1965 Jonny Quest adventure "Shadow of the Condor" (albeit with better animation). "The Scourge of Skyborg" first aired on November 23, 1986, as part of the weekend "Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera" syndicated package. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
