The new adventures of huckleberry finn-intro(full version)
Opening credits and first act of a typical episode
The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was produced by Hanna-Barbera for NBC in 1968. Based on characters created by Samuel L. Clemens (writing as Mark Twain), it was the only Hanna-Barbera series to have live child actors interact with animated characters. The series was later absorbed into the syndication package of The Banana Splits and Friends Show.
Premise
Every episode started with film footage of Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher pursued by Injun Joe. As the three children entered a cave to escape Injun Joe, they were caught in a time vortex that took them to a different place and time period. After they left the vortex, Huck, Tom and Becky were still live children, but they now interacted with animated characters, such as Hercules, King Arthur or Don Quixote.
