Сюжет: Тайное происхождение
Когда-то мирная страна, Персия была захвачена могущественными силами злого завоевателя Бакаара Черного Султана. Когда все государства Персии были повержены, Бакаар вторгся в столицу – Багдад. Бакаар и его войска прорвались в королевский дворец и силой отняли престол у принца Турхана, приказав его убить. Принц Турхан бежал из дворца, преследуемый стражей Бакаара. В своем бегстве принцу помогает волшебник по имени Фарик, который с помощью магии ускользнул от охранников. По пути в государство Эль-Рабаул, чтобы попросить помощи у своего дяди – халифа, Турхан и Фарик встречают Расема, за которым в Пещерах Рока гонятся стражники. Расим рассказывает им, что силы Бакаара уже узурпировали трон Эль-Рабаула и заключили в тюрьму халифа и его дочь, принцессу Ниду. Затем трио отправляется в Эль-Рабаул на осле Расема по имени Зазум. В Эль-Рабауле они спасают принцессу Ниду, которую собираются продать в рабство. Там принцесса Нида демонстрирует свое мастерство маскировки и имитации голоса, обманывая стражников, но вскоре они оказываются в окружении людей Бакаара. В этот момент Без врывается в схватку, превращается в слона, прорывается сквозь стражу и уносит всех в безопасное место. В Пещерах Рока они решают создать героическое братство и клянутся защищать свою землю от тирании Бакаара, таким образом образовав союз, известный как Арабские Рыцари.
Once a peaceful country, Persia was overrun by the powerful forces of the evil conqueror Bakaar the Black Sultan. When all the states of Persia were overthrown, Bakaar invaded the capital city of Baghdad. Bakaar and his forces breached the royal palace and forcibly claimed the throne from Prince Turhan and ordered the prince to be killed. Prince Turhan fled the palace, pursued by the guards of Bakaar. In his escape, the prince is helped by a magician named Fariik who with his magic slipped away from the guards. On their way to the state of El Rabaul to seek aid from his uncle the Caliph, Turhan and Fariik meet Raseem while being chased by the guards in the Caves of Doom. Raseem tells them that Bakaar's forces have already usurped the throne of El Rabaul and imprisoned the Caliph and his daughter Princess Nida. The trio then heads to El Rabaul on Raseem's donkey Zazuum. In El Rabaul, they rescue Princess Nida who is about to be sold into slavery. There, Princess Nida demonstrates her mastery of disguise and voice mimicry by tricking the guards, but they soon find themselves cornered by Bakaar's men. There Bez jumps into the scene, shapeshifts into an elephant, charges through the guards, and carries everyone to safety. In the Caves of Doom, they decide to form a heroic band and swear to protect their land from the tyranny of Bakaar, thus forming an alliance called the Arabian Knights.
Направление серии
Арабские рыцари был одним из нескольких анимационных мини-сериалов, использовавшихся в качестве вставок в шоу Ханны-Барберы "Banana Splits Adventure Hour". Каждый эпизод длился от 9 до 10 минут. В основном он конкурировал с другими сериями, а именно с анимационным сериалом "Три мушкетёра", частично игровым и частично анимационным "Micro Ventures", а также с игровыми сегментами "Острова опасности". Зачастую суть приключений Арабских рыцарей заключалась в том, что рыцари пытаются противодействовать солдатам Бакаара, найти способ продвинуться к своей цели – свергнуть злого диктатора, или столкнуться с другим злодеем из их мира. В большинстве своём эти приключения были выполнены в полусерьёзном ключе, с большим количеством действия и комедии. Практически никто не получал серьёзных травм, за исключением приспешников Бакаара (обычно с комическим эффектом), и эпизоды обычно заканчивались оптимистично и счастливо для рыцарей.
Arabian Knights was one of several animated miniseries used as filler segments for Hanna Barbera's Banana Splits Adventure Hour show. Each episode ran between 9 and 10 minutes in length. For the most part, it competed with the other series, namely the animated The Three Musketeers, the part live action, part animated 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 Bakaar's minions (with a usually comic effect), and the episodes usually had an upbeat, happy ending for the Knights.
Арабские рыцари
Принц Турхан (голос Джей Норта) – принц Багдада и законный наследник престола султана, Турхан – молодой и красивый подросток. Помимо храбрости и отваги, он ловкий акробат, спортсмен и мастер фехтования. Турхан собирает небольшую группу друзей, чтобы возглавить восстание против тирании Бакаара и вернуть свой трон, чтобы восстановить мир и процветание в своем государстве. Турхан – фактический лидер Рыцарей и движущая сила в борьбе с Бакааром и свержении узурпатора. Он владеет волшебным ятаганом, который можно бросать, и он возвращается, как бумеранг, уникальными способами.
Prince Turhan (voiced by Jay North) The prince of Baghdad and rightful heir to the throne of the Sultan, Turhan is a young and handsome teenage boy. Apart from being brave and bold, he is an agile acrobat, an athlete, and a master swordsman. Turhan gathers a small group of friends to lead a revolt against the tyranny of Bakaar and reclaim his throne to restore the peace and prosperity in his state. Turhan is the de facto leader of the Knights and the driving force behind fighting Bakaar and ending the usurper’s reign. He owns a magic scimitar that can be thrown and returns like a boomerang, in unique ways. Princess Nida (voiced by Shari Lewis) Daughter of the Caliph of El Rabaul, Princess Nida is a beautiful teenage girl who is the cousin of Prince Turhan. She is a master of disguise and an expert of voice mimicry. Nida is also skilled in martial arts and can hold her own in the Knights' battles. Fariik the Magician (voiced by John Stephenson) A short, tubby, jolly little man, Fariik is a skilled practitioner and spell master of the mystical arts who lends a magical hand when needed. To cast his spell, Fariik would say his magic words, "Rosan Kobar." And has done variations of that incantation, like one time he said, “Rosan Korkapukus” to conjure corks in the ears of guards. He is the first to have offered aid to Turhan after Prince Turhan is deposed by Bakaar. Sometimes, the magic gets very difficult and can take a lot of energy out of him. Fariik can animate carpets and pillows for the occasional airborne transport of the team. Fariik can render himself and others invisible for stealth or camouflage purposes. At times, he can dissolve himself and others into smoke to make an escape from narrow places. He can levitate objects, alter the size of things and persons, create things out of thin air, and alter the form of one thing into another. Raseem the Strong (voiced by Frank Gerstle) A tall muscular man with brief costume and fez, Raseem is the powerhouse of the team with incredible physical strength, endurance, and stamina. He first met Turhan and Fariik when they hid in the Caves of Doom that he occupies. Raseem mistakes them for Bakaar's men and attacks them. However, upon learning they are against Bakaar, he befriends them, and he goes with them to find the Caliph (to get his aid against Bakaar). He often boasts of his strength, saying he is as strong as 30 men. At one time, Raseem said he was as strong as seven elephants. Strong enough to shatter stone walls, lift and catch boulders, catch and throw back cannonballs, and fight off scores of Bakaar’s soldiers at a time, Raseem's power makes for a good equalizer in the Knights' battles. Zazuum (voiced by Don Messick) Raseem’s faithful little donkey with long ears, Zazuum was first used by Turhan, Fariik, and Raheem to get to El Rabaul. Zazuum is quite an intelligent donkey as he aids his fellow team members. Zazuum can spin himself so fast he becomes like a destructive miniature tornado that can defeat any enemy or destroy anything coming his way. He does not like his tail to be pulled, as it enrages him to the point of being a berserk loose cannon that can shatter rocks into pebbles. In addition, Zazuum can smell gold very precisely. Bez the Beast (voiced by Henry Corden) A dark skinned man with a turban and green clothing, Bez can shapeshift into an animal, bird, or aquatic creature from a mighty elephant to a tiny mouse. Often, he triggers this ability by speaking the phrase “Size of a —!” and naming the animal or bird he wishes to turn into, followed by a loud boom that proclaims his transformation. Sometimes the magical phrase is followed by clapping his hands together. If the creature is small enough, Bez can turn into many versions of it such as turning into a million bees. Bez is known to turn into some larger animals which often serve as alternate modes of transportation for the Arabian Knights like an elephant or a camel for land transportation. He can also transform into mythical creatures like a winged stallion or a roc for the occasional airborne transportation. His shapeshifting makes him a handy spy for the Knights in order to find out what Bakaar is planning.
Принцесса Нида (голос Шари Льюис) – дочь халифа Эль-Рабаула, принцесса Нида – красивая девушка-подросток, двоюродная сестра принца Турхана. Она мастер маскировки и эксперт в имитации голосов. Нида также владеет боевыми искусствами и способна постоять за себя в битвах Рыцарей.

Фарик, волшебник (голос Джона Стивенсона) – невысокий, коренастый, веселый человечек, Фарик – опытный практик и мастер заклинаний мистических искусств, готовый прийти на помощь, когда это необходимо. Чтобы произнести заклинание, Фарик произносит свои волшебные слова: «Розан Кобар». Он варьировал это заклинание, например, однажды сказал: «Розан Коркапукус», чтобы заткнуть уши стражникам пробками. Он первым предложил помощь Турхану после того, как принц Турхан был свергнут Бакааром. Иногда магия становится очень сложной и отнимает у него много сил. Фарик может оживлять ковры и подушки для случайной воздушной транспортировки команды. Фарик может делать себя и других невидимыми для скрытности или маскировки. Иногда он может растворяться в дыму, чтобы сбежать из тесных мест. Он может поднимать предметы в воздух, изменять размер вещей и людей, создавать вещи из ничего и превращать одно в другое.

Расим Сильный (голос Фрэнка Герстля) – высокий мускулистый мужчина в коротком костюме и фезе, Расим – сила команды, обладающая невероятной физической силой, выносливостью и стаминой. Он впервые встретил Турхана и Фарика, когда они спрятались в Пещерах Гибели, которые он занимает. Расим принял их за людей Бакаара и напал на них. Однако, узнав, что они против Бакаара, он подружился с ними и отправился с ними на поиски халифа (чтобы получить его помощь против Бакаара). Он часто хвастается своей силой, говоря, что он сильнее тридцати человек. Расим однажды сказал, что он силен, как семь слонов. Достаточно сильный, чтобы разрушать каменные стены, поднимать и ловить валуны, ловить и отбрасывать пушечные ядра и одновременно сражаться с десятками солдат Бакаара, сила Расема делает его хорошим уравновешивающим фактором в битвах Рыцарей.

Зазум (голос Дона Мессика) – верный маленький осел Расема с длинными ушами, Зазум был впервые использован Турханом, Фариком и Рахимом, чтобы добраться до Эль-Рабаула. Зазум – довольно умный осел, помогающий своим товарищам по команде. Зазум может вращаться так быстро, что превращается в разрушительный миниатюрный торнадо, способный победить любого врага или уничтожить все на своем пути. Он не любит, когда его дергают за хвост, так как это приводит его в ярость и превращает в неуправляемую разрушительную силу, способную разбить камни на гальку. Кроме того, Зазум может очень точно чувствовать запах золота.

Без Зверь (голос Генри Кордена) – темнокожий мужчина в тюрбане и зеленой одежде, Без может превращаться в животное, птицу или водное существо – от могучего слона до крошечной мыши. Часто он активирует эту способность, произнося фразу «Размер…!» и называя животное или птицу, в которую он хочет превратиться, за которой следует громкий взрыв, возвещающий о его трансформации. Иногда за магической фразой следует хлопок в ладоши. Если существо достаточно маленькое, Без может превратиться во множество его копий, например, в миллион пчел. Без известен тем, что превращается в более крупных животных, которые часто служат альтернативным видом транспорта для Аравийских рыцарей, например, в слона или верблюда для наземной перевозки. Он также может превращаться в мифических существ, таких как крылатый жеребец или скала, для случайной воздушной транспортировки. Его способность к трансформации делает его полезным шпионом для Рыцарей, чтобы узнать о планах Бакаара.

He first met Turhan and Fariik when they hid in the Caves of Doom that he occupies. Raseem mistakes them for Bakaar's men and attacks them. However, upon learning they are against Bakaar, he befriends them, and he goes with them to find the Caliph (to get his aid against Bakaar). He often boasts of his strength, saying he is as strong as 30 men. At one time, Raseem said he was as strong as seven elephants. Strong enough to shatter stone walls, lift and catch boulders, catch and throw back cannonballs, and fight off scores of Bakaar’s soldiers at a time, Raseem's power makes for a good equalizer in the Knights' battles. Zazuum (voiced by Don Messick) Raseem’s faithful little donkey with long ears, Zazuum was first used by Turhan, Fariik, and Raheem to get to El Rabaul. Zazuum is quite an intelligent donkey as he aids his fellow team members. Zazuum can spin himself so fast he becomes like a destructive miniature tornado that can defeat any enemy or destroy anything coming his way. He does not like his tail to be pulled, as it enrages him to the point of being a berserk loose cannon that can shatter rocks into pebbles. In addition, Zazuum can smell gold very precisely. Bez the Beast (voiced by Henry Corden) A dark skinned man with a turban and green clothing, Bez can shapeshift into an animal, bird, or aquatic creature from a mighty elephant to a tiny mouse. Often, he triggers this ability by speaking the phrase “Size of a —!” and naming the animal or bird he wishes to turn into, followed by a loud boom that proclaims his transformation. Sometimes the magical phrase is followed by clapping his hands together. If the creature is small enough, Bez can turn into many versions of it such as turning into a million bees. Bez is known to turn into some larger animals which often serve as alternate modes of transportation for the Arabian Knights like an elephant or a camel for land transportation. He can also transform into mythical creatures like a winged stallion or a roc for the occasional airborne transportation. His shapeshifting makes him a handy spy for the Knights in order to find out what Bakaar is planning.
Злодеи
Бакар Чёрный Султан (озвучен Джоном Стивенсоном) – коррумпированный завоеватель и заклятый враг Аравийских рыцарей. Бакар узурпирует трон отца Турхана и захватывает контроль над Багдадом. Стремясь командовать всеми царствами, подчиненными Багдаду, он направляет все свои силы на поимку Турхана (а затем и всех рыцарей), чтобы укрепить своё положение на троне. Несмотря на жестокость, Бакар обычно не участвует непосредственно в сражениях с рыцарями, предпочитая поручать эту задачу своим солдатам и приспешникам. Его отличительная манера одеваться – одиночный шипастый шлем, отделанный мехом, вместо короны – намекает на монгольские корни. Вангоре (озвучен Полом Фрисом) – главный исполнитель воли Бакара и капитан его стражи. Часто разрабатывает планы по захвату рыцарей. По-видимому, отец Вангора был погонщиком верблюдов. У него рыжие волосы, постриженные в традиционный узел (что исторически указывало на галатское происхождение и рабство). Сундар – придворный маг Бакара.
Bakaar the Black Sultan (voiced by John Stephenson) The corrupt conqueror and nemesis of the Arabian Knights, Bakaar usurps the throne of Turhan’s father and takes control of Baghdad. Clearly wishing to command all of the kingdoms that bow to Baghdad, he sets all of his forces to the goal of capturing Turhan (and later all of the Knights) to secure his place on the throne. While cruel, Bakaar does not usually involve himself directly in the fight against the Knights. He prefers to let his soldiers and minions to do the job. Bakaar's distinctive manner of dress—a single spiked, fur lined helmet in place of a crown—hints at ancestry from the Mongols. Vangore (voiced by Paul Frees) Bakaar's enforcer and captain of his guards. Often hatches plots to capture the Knights. Apparently, Vangore's father was a camel driver. He has red hair shaved to a topknot (which would historically be an indication of Galatian ancestry and of being enslaved). Sundar Bakaar's court magician.
