Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All Time

Sadly lost forever it seems. To me, it's the best thing Filmation ever put out.

How I'd love a good copy of this, I recall watching it first-run.

You have to give Filmation credit, this is the most faithful adaption of Flash Gordon ever done and probably ever will be done. Feature quality animation from them too. I do like Alan Oppenheimer's Ming, from the TV series, better though.

is the original print lost or something? looks like the video Pali posted is from a VHS transfer

[Bruce Banner]

Definitely one of Filmation's finest moments. A masterpiece.

The film came first, and was subsequently cut up to produce episodes of the cartoon. So the complete original film only exists in the video transfers used for broadcast at the time.

Hasn't been seen since the Hallmark Filmation purge in the 90s. They digitally scanned everything they thought they could syndicate and destroyed all the masters.

[PNGwynne]

That's nauseating. Would it be a wonderful grail if a copy was found? Stranger things have happened.

[toyhunter1970]

all kinds of yes can anyone verify if the film print has beeen destroyed?

[Apositive]

I wonder if we'll ever get a decent release of this? I watched it on YouTube a few years ago. Pure magic.
