Here's another opening for Super Cartoon Sunrise on WFLD Channel 32, which was saved on 16mm film. The lineup consists here of Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, Battle of the Planets, and Fred Flintstone and Friends.

The theme song used is a jazzy, funky, disco-fied instrumental version of "Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here." (anyone know where it came from or who played on it?)

This show aired on WFLD Channel 32, WLS Channel 7, and at one point WSNS Channel 44.
