There was another Doctor Strange...
...animated movie in 1978. Did anybody see it? Was it any good?
Update: Not animated. It's live action :/
It wasn't animated, it was live. And it was horrible.
That era, superheroes were the stuff of TV at best. "Superman: The Motion Picture" was considered the outlier by the suits in Hollywood. So kids like me were subject to dismal, low-budget, half-assed efforts like that version of Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Captain America and (the one success) Hulk.
I was a kid, so anything superhero on TV was awesome to me. Plus, I liked magic AND wanted to be a neurosurgeon, so anything Doctor Strange SHOULD have been awesome to me. That I was underwhelmed is a huge indication of its horrible-ness.
But hey, reasonable minds can differ. Join the discussion:

Sorry to hear it. I thought it was a cartoon movie, lol. I vaguely remember a Wonder Woman movie that was horrible as well. It probably also came out in the 70s. At least they get an "A" for effort.

oh RIIIIIGHT!
I forgot to mention Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter's was OK enough to become iconic (and land herself a role in "Wonder Woman '84"), so she and Hulk count as TV successes from that era.
But I suspect you're talking about the 1974 attempt starring Cathy Lee Crosby:

I wouldn't call it horrible per se ... it was a horrible Wonder Woman movie, but as a film about a 70s era secret agent with mild super powers, it was passable
