Wow. This hand-drawn animated short resurrects the Flash Gordon serials from way back when. Flash…ah ah. He saved every one of us! Yeah, before that. This short was made by veteran Disney animator Robb Pratt who just loves to work on this stuff all the time, just because he loves it. It keeps him up at night.

It has period appropriate music and other nice touches that make it feel like the old serials have come to life again. Even a scantily clad damsel in distress. Dale Arden of course. Flash and Dr. Hans Zarkov are taken to the planet Mongo and forced to fight an alien creature in an arena. Enjoy.
