Series Direction
The Arabian Knights series was one of several animated mini-series, used as filler segments for Hanna-Barbera's Banana Splits Club show. For the most part, it competed with the other series, The Adventures of the Musketeers, Micro Ventures and the live-action Danger Island segments.
Often, the general thrust of the Arabian Knights adventures deals with the Knights trying to effect some action against Bakaar’s soldiers, finding a means to further complete their goal of turning the tables on the evil dictator, or dealing with another villain set within the Knights' universe.
For the most part, these adventures were done with a semi-serious slant, with a goodly portion of action and comedy mixed in. Hardly anyone was injured or harmed — save for Baakar's minions (in a usually comic effect), and the episodes usually had an upbeat, happy ending for the Knights.
