--- Curiosities of the Kingdom of Arboria... To Stop a Wedding and... Our Real Story Begins! ----

------- ------- ------- --------

In this episode we will have our heroes trying to prevent the massive destruction on Earth's Crust by re-directing Mongo somewhere else.

It's interesting that during the story we can predict much about the allegiance of a soldier or a battleship because of its colors, Arborian warriors for example, are green as their forests...same as their uniforms, oh and their city's buildings :) I assume there is no need to ask to see their chairs, glasses, pillows, etc.. . Prince Barrin's outfit by the way seems to be somewhat inspired in some old Robin Hood movies and also, to have served as inspiration for Bow, a character also by the hand of Filmation that was one of the heroes of the Great Rebellion in "She-ra, The Princess of Power".

It's remarkable the friendly relationship that Arborians have with their forest and how concerned they are with its protection. It's interesting too, how they have developed special equipment to diagnose the health of their trees. Till this point, everything seems normal, a little bit ahead of its time with the ecological message but nothing unusual at all... ...until we saw the trees fighting against Ming the Merciless under Prince Barrin's commands!

During this episode we have the eclectic alliance of Flash Gordon, Prince Barrin, Prince Thun and King Vultan working for the first time maybe for their own surprise, to stop the wedding of Ming the Merciless with Dale Arden and to divert Mongo from its trajectory which will prevent the forces of Ming from invading Earth...sending Mongo into deep space.

Thanks for reading. IMDb Review written by David del Real. Mexico City. Mexico. November 2017
