As the description says . . .

Flash Gordon: The Greatest Adventure of All is a 1982 animated television film produced by Filmation and written by Samuel A. Peeples. It was broadcast on NBC on August 21, 1982.

Critics consider this movie one of the most faithful adaptations of the original Flash Gordon. This reflects Filmation's respect for the title—in particular that of Filmation's own Lou Schiemer, a fan of the original comics and serials who fought hard to secure the animation rights.

Filmation's Saturday-morning Flash Gordon animated TV series was more or less a rejuggled version of clips and elements from this movie. It was good as far as it went (I have the DVD that was released some years ago), but this, the original film, is much better, and the sequences lead into each other more logically than they do in the TV series, where the clips are a bit haphazardly introduced.

A laserdisc rip exists on archive.org, but it definitely deserves a blu-ray release (as does much of the Filmation library; but this would be at or near the top of my list of Filmation requests).
