sinbad jr and his magic belt.-intro

1965 hanna-barbera title for the cartoon series.

[@joshuaedwards4536]

Wow, I've not seen this since I was a kid, but I always remembered the intro song, and where he pulls his belt, such nostalgia, love it, amazing how the years fly by......

[@samobispo1527]

This song has stayed in my mind for the last 50 years. Every once in a while, it would come back, especially the part where he pulls on the belt. It is amazing what the young brain retains.

[@MrPrincetrumpet]

Same here.... I was cruising the net and that song came to mind. Hard to believe how much I remember of it.

[@trishdunstan8603]

Ha, ha, same here, the belt part.

[@udcohen]

Sinbad the Sailor Sailing the ocean Blue With Salty, the parrot, by his side They are a fearless crew Sinbad the Sailor ready for a fight Whatever is there They'll be there Turning wrong to right 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!

[@mgscheue]

Me, too! It was the Salty the parrot part that stuck for me.

[@davidhutchinson6377]

OMG...used to watch this on my way to Kindergarten...we would stop by our neighbors...and they would have this on. LOVED IT. lol...esp Salty.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

This came out around the same era of all the other Hanna-Barbera superhero shows.

[@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!!!

[@ameliajoseph7329]

WOW! Brings back memories. I remembered the words as soon as I heard the title song start after all these decades. The only thing I could remember was a cartoon where the lead character pulled om his belt for power, so I googled that. Yhis is what I was looking for. Thanks for posting it.

[@quixgofar]

Dude!!! This was my fav cartoon when I was 4!! Back in 1975-76!! Used to always tighten my belt - LOL.

[@marioTmaggot]

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

[@greggl.friedmanmd7512]

I have not seen this since the 1960's. Thanks for posting it. 5 Stars. By Gregg L. Friedman MD

[@tmcge3325]

I watched that show every Saturday morning!!!!!!!

[@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!

[@BigBagock]

When I was 5 this was my favorite thing in the whole world. Thanks for sharing. I've been searching for it.

[@MichaelSimmons.]

This is the second version of the show after it was picked up by HannaBarberra. The original shows in black and white had a different theme song, (which I preferred), and a different sound with lightening bolts when he pulled his belt. I remember them liked they were on just yesterday. It was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid.

[@sandfly60]

Thankyou. The words I remember are different to this one, so perhaps I remember the same one as you. Something like, "with Salty the parrot by his side, he'll come home again, so shiver me timbers, strike the sail and wake the Skipper up, (parrot screeches), over the bounding maine."

[@Nuron666]

This takes me back to my school days. Six Million dollar man, Popeye, The little house on the praire, Hong Kong Fuey, Rainbow, Play school. Top cat Those were the days.

[@markbuzz4]

For years i have bee trying to explain this carton to people and nobody knew what it was, i was 4/5 when i watched it i loved it !!!!! thank you.

[@nurzerozetta]

HOLY CRAP I have been LOOKING for this cartoon for freaking YEARS!!!

[@seansaccount101]

I used to dream I had a magic belt when I was a kid...best dream EVER!

[@stebaer]

It's touching to play this cartoon of which I first saw when I was a little kid.

[@dennismclaurin1487]

Echo.

[@johnharvin170]

I Loved this Cartoon and the Old Original one too....but mostly outside of the show itself...was the Themes for both on this one the guys who sung it oh their voices were just Magic the Tone , Harmony, Pitch and Control!??!....Awesome still to today when im doing something or maybe just walking or just in general I'll sing it and hear them both in my head and Countless others and Smile!!....thanx to you and all who keep the Flame and Memories Alive Still!!🤗😉🙏👍👍👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@fujiwan1960]

I always loved this cartoon. Brings back alot of memories

[@HangmanG]

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

[@elvicare35]

I LOVED this cartoon SO much, on Fun-O-Rama!!!!!!!!

[@Seasider70]

no one remembers this except me, that whole belt tightening thing was a real turn on.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I just got started to know this show, and it looks good to watch. Is it still out on DVD or something??

[@Rlotpir1972]

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

[@Spohcsom]

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.

[@cynthiapickett7403]

Haven't seen this in nearly 50 years!

[@davidhutchinson5233]

Oh man, many many years ago. Very early 70s going to kindergarten and 1st grade. This seemed to be always on just when we had to leave.

[@darkflamedesign]

Loved this when i was younger .. I would run around house with dads big belt ... Pull it tight and kick the crap out of my brother ...

[@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 KZbin.

[@George-qk6hg]

Hanna barbera cartoon memories. I remember when i was a child in 70s

[@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

[@toycoon]

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

[@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.

[@harporocks]

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

[@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.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

I wish I was more familiar with this HB Catoon show.

[@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.

[@lindahalsey5788]

wish hulu would get a hold of these shows they are classic.

[@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.

[@sks6689]

yes me , too ! i would pull my belt , and play i was him ,lol

[@Launchpad05]

I've NEVER seen this before, and the fact that Hanna-Barbera co produced this with American International Pictures explains how obscure this is.

[@actionsub]

AIP produced the earlier Sam Singer version of these cartoons, so I'm guessing there were some IP rights issues involved, hence the two studios' byline.

[@buddyh17]

The incomparable Hanna - Barbera created more cartoon characters then all the other cartoon producers combined.... Best cartoons are space Ghost and Sinbad Jr !

[@patrickperalta59]

the memories of a kid and you pull your belt with all your might pretending to be strong...

[@ailaoshi71]

I remember watching this in Britain during the Nineteen Seventies. It would appear (I think) on the Southern ITV franchise just before the regional news. Always wished the episodes had been longer as much of the five minutes - felt like it was even shorter to this six year old - seemed to be taken up by the theme song at either end. Thank you to the uploader.

[@mrgobrien]

it certainly ran in the itv midlands area too - maybe was networked across the whole uk on itv

[@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 KZbin 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.

[@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

[@cfdabull]

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

[@kurttoy5035]

I remember seeing that cartoon on WTAE-4 Pittsburgh on its various kids' shows circa 1966-67. I knew Salty sounded similar to Bugs Bunny-on the H-B version, of course, it was Mel Blanc.

[@HarshPTHESNAKEFIST]

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

[@chewingmania]

I used to love this series. I seem to remember it was on just before Crossroads.

[@SPak-rt2gb]

The song structure sounds like Puff The Magic Dragon

[@alanstrong3295]

Saw that on KCRG-TV one Labor Day.

[@ukmoore]

finally i found this, thanks for the upload

[@ninjacaptor]

Awesome watched this when I was a kid

[@DaveTheVideoMan]

There's a 77 episode DVD set of Sinbad Jr. you can buy on Ebay!

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

Really? AWESOME!

[@rubyrachelenabours5165]

Very funny and entertaining cartoon.

[@lindahalsey5788]

sinbad the sailor, courageous cat , and speed buggy hanna- barberra thsese are geat. I wish hulu

[@marlawhite1430]

Don't remember this at all🤔 And I thought I seen all their sixties cartoons.

[@VicDemise]

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)

[@greginla4455]

I used to watch it on Wonderama too. Great memories.

[@clintonearlwalker]

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

[@Seasider70]

I used to get off on this.

[@alanstrong3295]

It must have been a syndicated series. I only saw it on KCRG-TV, Cedar Rapids, IA, way back when.

[@Mmogamerfr]

dang if\d forgotten this one,, yeah i remember it to

[@huskydogg7536]

Here I am, a 66 year old man sitting at home, and what do you know, this song mysteriously pops into my head for the first time in forever. I google the lyrics cuz I'm uncertain what they relate to. I must have watched this as a child though I have no memory of it. Weird.

[@ludwigvonsteampole1]

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

[@acla9000]

I remember that!! Very cute...

[@benthemiester]

This was the shit when I was a kid.

[@biglittlemason2]

I remember the theme song very well, never watched to the show too much though!

[@retroguate]

I saw this cartoon in Guatemala by channel 11.

[@terrybardy7294]

Wonderful video!

[@SteveCarras]

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

[@DaveTheVideoMan]

There is a 5 Volume, 77 episode DVD set for sale on Ebay. Just type in "Sinbad Jr. and His Magic Belt" in the Ebay search bar.

[@RightArmProductions]

I so remember this...

[@AarHan3]

Catchy tune! ;-)

[@me373]

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

[@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....

[@esterripa]

I have the whole episodes and Im uploading it, so you can watch them!!!!

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.

[@the60sKid]

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

[@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)

[@steveasat2]

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

[@nir766]

i know what it was my friend i know ,and it has gone with our childhood ....

[@StanTheBrand]

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

[@MrPGC137]

I remember watching this show when I was a little kid but then for whatever reason it just suddenly disappeared from the airwaves; they didn't even carry it in rerun syndication or anything. (I suppose the intro with pirates & swordfights was "too violent" for the bed-wetters & slackbladders like Peggy Charren & her ilk, who ruined kid's TV...)

[@april41809]

Wonder when this cartoon ever come to DVD

[@asajames5018]

Flashback

[@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!!!

[@me373]

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

[@JHollowayNetwork]

one of the Hanna-Barbera programs in which Screen Gems didn't handle distribution? (American International Television distributed it for syndication)

[@525Lines]

I thought I've seen a ton of cartoons but I've never seen this.

[@mauromesa78]

i wish this was on dvd

[@nnaw]

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

[@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?

[@kascnef]

Imagine if Seth Mcfarlane made fun of his belt...you know sindbad pulling out his belt to reveal his undies...lol!!!

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

[@jasonalangriffin]

I loved this cartoon. Never noticed how the theme is a blatant rip off of Puff The Magic Dragon

[@BigSkippy1263]

I'm sure I ruined a few belts as a kid try to get it to power me up.

[@jayjanssen5992]

It’s so easy to imagine the character as a woman. I just can’t help imagining the cartoon being adapted as a full length live action feature film with either Mila Kunis or Sarah Hyland as a female version of Sinbad.
