A great and complete collection of the early cartoons!
This DVD includes all 17 of the original episodes of the Fleischer Animation Studio's original "Superman" cartoon! A cool 2 disc set, pulling together the best in early Superman animation. One disc has 9 episodes on it, and the other 8, and includes these classic cartoons that were originally aired in the 1940's...if you're a fan of Superman, you've gotta have this set! It's a must-have item for any Superman collection!
10 examples of classic 1940s animation
The Superman series, FLEISCHER's final independent animations, are artistically some of their very finest. This level of quality was maintained after FAMOUS's late-1942 takeover of Max Fleischer's studio was completed. Seventeen shorts were issued between 1941 and '43.
They've been in the public domain for many years. Most budget labels (including California's VINA) dub from unrestored film stock, which means colors aren't fresh, but the shorts are still satisfactory, especially at this low price.
PROGRAM--
THE MECHANICAL MONSTERS (1941) - "Mad" inventor uses robots to rob a jewelry store. Lois Lane is captured trying to stop the heist.

THE ARCTIC GIANT (1942) - A huge, frozen prehistoric lizard thaws out at a museum and reanimates. It then rampages through Metropolis.

Superman Animated Shorts DVD
I love the old cartoon shorts from the 1940s. The only drawback from the DVD is that there isn't more content on the disk but still well worth the price.
