Sinbad Jr. and His Magic Belt is a series of five-minute cartoons that originally aired in first-run syndication between 1965 and 1966. They were produced by Hanna-Barbera for the American International Television division of American International Pictures and were shown during local children's television programming.
Storyline
Sinbad Jr. (voiced by Dal McKennon and Tim Matheson) is the teenage son of Sinbad, the famous sailor, and he travels the world in his single-masted sailboat seeking adventure and wrongs to the right, fighting such villains as the Bluto-like, big, black-bearded Blubbo and the mad doctor Rotcoddam ("mad doctor" spelt backwards).
Sinbad Jr. gained the strength of 50 men whenever he tightened his magic belt, causing the diamond-shaped buckle to flash like lightning and temporarily transform him into a mighty muscleman.
Sinbad Jr.'s first mate was his feisty and funny feathered friend Salty the Parrot (voiced by Mel Blanc).
